Featured Reviews

Eric Oboh - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables efficient finance and maintenance management with real-time data and strong integration
The integration between plant maintenance, stores, and financials is highly valued by my customers in the refinery business, as it allows for efficient maintenance processes and easily accessible financial information. Additionally, the mobile features are beneficial as they allow managers to approve or reject orders on the go. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides real-time data, which is very timely for decision-making. Managers have dashboards created for them that are readily updated for insightful information. This reflects the improved business intelligence features of the solution.
Abbas Hirkani - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick implementation brings comprehensive workflow management and efficient regulation handling
One of the major advantages of QAD Cloud ERP is related to the easy and quick implementation that I have found the most valuable. The entire application of QAD Cloud ERP itself is very valuable for my customers. My impression of the advanced supply chain management feature in QAD Cloud ERP is that it's a very comfortable tool and, if rightly configured, it really helps the business to have clear visibility of the entire supply chain. My impression of the compliance management in QAD Cloud ERP is that it has reduced many overheads of doing manual compliance, and it is quite easily manageable; it is connected with the regulatory authorities, making it a fantastic tool. The positive impact my customers have experienced from using QAD Cloud ERP includes easy integration with multiple different applications, connectivity with regulatory authorities and banks, having bank drivers for easy payments and receiving money, and it has fantastic web UI reporting, which satisfies many different stakeholders within the entire organization worldwide.

Quotes from Members

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

Cons

"We found that the system was unable to address many of our concerns, especially when it comes to project management."
"From the operation perspective, it could offer more functionality for the APIs."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne could improve the speed because sometimes it takes time to load into the environment. This is typical when the ESU patch packages are used."
"Localization features are critical for all regions. Improving these features in various countries and markets is essential to meet customer needs."
"The only issue I see is Oracle's lack of focus on the product. When the sales team calls us, they try to promote OCI more than JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. They don't even talk about it. I feel there's no focus from Oracle Corporation themselves. The salespeople either don't know about it or don't talk about it. When they have something new, they only talk about EBS or OCI. This gives a feeling that there's no interest from Oracle. We don't see much new functionality being released or announced in the roadmap."
"Implementing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne can have its challenges. For example, we faced issues like timeout exceptions in a recent integration project while pulling data from third-party systems."
"They have been improving it every day, but it could have more automation."
"Treasury management is typically used in forex, loans, trade management and property management is not available. The solution could improve if they added them."
"Just implementing an ERP system takes a lot of time."
"The product lacks a lot of features and technology."
"They could improve by moving away from the architecture of Progress 4GL as currently they are undergoing a very drastic change by redoing the entire application with Java and web-based technologies, projected to be released by 2026 with the incorporation of analytics, process intelligence, and AI to help business users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is really expensive."
"The licensing costs are on a yearly basis, and there are no additional costs."
"The solution’s pricing depends on the module you’re purchasing."
"The cost depends on the number of users and the modules required."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
"It's very competitively priced. The only problem now is that most of the industry is moving towards software as a service or a subscription model, whereas JD Edwards has a capital expenditure. You would spend on the licenses once off. You can either host it on-premise or in the cloud, but there is a licensing fee once a year."
"In terms of pricing, we have a lot of problems because companies here don't have enough resources to acquire the product. So we need to evaluate the price according to our demographic...The license cost is around 1,00,000 euros."
"The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
