Has supported global operations through multi-currency and modular customization
Oracle's support is not that good for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. Their support is expensive, and I don't think you're getting your bang for your buck. For the cloud product, they do give you support, but everything is online and you might not get somebody. I would give Oracle's support for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne about a 6.5 on a scale of one to 10.

Less expensive than some competing solutions, but it's hard to handle logistics management at scale
We're having problems with logistics and warehouse management, and we don't know if we have the right module from Penta. When shipments come into our warehouse, they have to plug it into the Penta system and find the right place to store them. They have to go through the same process on the way out. Our production department has to do the same thing each time to prepare the material for production and get the goods out of the store. It takes a lot of time. I don't know if there are any automated solutions for it. We also do internal manufacturing orders from the German branch of our company. We send an order to the manufacturing department for every car and they have to enter each individual order into the system. The production manager spends so much time organizing this task.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The technical support level is quite good."
"But for large enterprises, it's a very good and cost-effective solution that's competitive with other products like SAP."
"The features are very convenient to use, and whenever there are custom applications to be added, it's very seamless."
"It can be scalable to any extent, with no issues and no boundaries, and it can serve small, medium, and large enterprises at the same time."
"It is easy to inquire about any account in our company."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is very scalable. It is suitable for any business size, from retail to manufacturing, and can grow with any business."
"The support information that you can find on the Oracle sites, the support sites, is huge and if I have a problem, then in 80% of the cases, I can find a solution somewhere on the support side of Oracle before I have to lock a service request with the Oracle support unit."
"Overall, I would rate the solution nine out of ten, as it can be customized to the company's needs while maintaining best practices."
"Penta offers a single way to solve our problems rather than building a new ERP system in the company."
"I believe Penta costs less than SAP"
 

Cons

"Financial side could be expanded by bringing in things like the IMS."
"The solution could improve by having additional efficient analytics available to more users. They should allow a sample database to be able to test and do proof of concept would be extremely valuable to all of our clients."
"Needs better integration with IoT solutions."
"Where they might be able to make added improvements are probably in specialized features."
"If it's complex, or there's some debate on whether the item is a bug or functioning as designed, it does take quite some time to get through that, and from a customer perspective, sometimes you have to be pretty persistent."
"Localization features are critical for all regions. Improving these features in various countries and markets is essential to meet customer needs."
"Some modules are expensive and there is an annual software maintenance cost as well."
"It does not submit the inquiry as requested. We have to close the application and restart the computer."
"However, the production guys tell me that Penta is not suitable for mass production. If we build a hundred cars per day or more, then we'll have problems. At the same time, I can't say whether the issue is Penta or our process. In other words, maybe we have too many manual projects in it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is not cheap. However, it is priced average amongst competitors."
"More transparent pricing of the software is needed."
"The solution's pricing depends on the deal and the number of users."
"It depends on the number of users and the modules that you want to buy. It is licensed on a perpetual license basis. You buy the license costs upfront, and then there is maintenance for support that you pay every year, which is typically about 20%."
"The maintenance of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is expensive and overall the solution is expensive. Most enterprise operation solution is expensive."
"The price of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is high. However, every ERP solution has a high price."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne has a lot of value for the money. The implementation cost and license cost are quite reasonable compared to other solutions, such as Oracle EBS or SAP."
"The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
