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.

A great choice for straight manufacturing, but not suitable for complex manufacturing models
SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module. One of my clients is a project-based organization, and they're finding it extremely difficult to manage their business using SYSPRO, to the point that they're looking at alternative solutions. The Projects and Contracts module is not a very useful tool. It does project accounting reasonably well, but in terms of putting in proper structures, like a work breakdown structure and so forth, it's actually quite poor. Their design or their architecture for the Projects module isn't good enough. They need to redesign it and redevelop it. They have made improvements. However, the problem is that if you're building on a bad foundation, then your building isn't going to be very strong. That's principally their problem. Any heavy equipment company would have a requirement to keep their equipment available for production. In that sense, SYSPRO has no maintenance management functionality. There's also no functionality for field services management. These two functionalities are critical for places like mines or for heavy equipment manufacturers who service the aftermarket and so forth. From a product perspective, this obviously isn't a good place to be because they are sort of taking themselves out of the market for quite a number of industries. They are constrained to manufacturing and distribution.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"We do a straight forward, simple plug and play installation so there are no problems technically now."
"The solution has provided our company with very strong procurement and supply chain abilities, and our clients are very happy."
"We did not have any problems with the scalability of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne."
"If used properly, one can see a return on his investment."
"My advice to others is JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is excellent."
"When you're comparing JD Edwards to any other tool, look at the flexibility."
"The features are very convenient to use, and whenever there are custom applications to be added, it's very seamless."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is perfect for our reporting for the management, workflow, and procurement workflow."
"The Financial Accounting module, in general, is quite good; it is quite simple but powerful, and similarly, the Manufacturing functionality, including a multiple level bill of materials, is also quite useful."
 

Cons

"The flexibility of workflows and multi-industry implementation support should be improved."
"The pricing of this solution costs an arm and a leg."
"The solution could be easier to implement."
"The report development tools needs more GUI interfaces and it needs to be more user centric."
"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."
"The implementation procedure could be simplified."
"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."
"Project management and CRM. Oracle has another solution for these areas."
"SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing depends on the module you’re purchasing."
"More transparent pricing of the software is needed."
"The price of the solution is not cheap. However, it is priced average amongst competitors."
"The cost depends on the number of users and the modules required."
"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."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
"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."
