Director of IT Applications at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
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

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"It’s a good and configurable product."
"Today there are few ERP systems that can actually compete with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne."
"The most valuable features of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne are the flexibility of the configuration, it is highly configurable. It is not rigid as other solutions, such as SAP. They have recently added a custom workflow approach and approval workflows."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a user-friendly ERP solution that is quite simple, with a very straightforward interface that allows end users, especially those with a finance background like me, to engage in finance areas such as vouchers, manual vouchers, email receipts, and GL analysis efficiently."
"We compared one company which was working on SAP and converted to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, and it was a big company that converted from SAP to JD Edwards."
"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

"Forms customization should be easier. Currently, it has to go through the development life cycle."
"The way of creating daily reports could be made a little bit easier."
"The licensing is expensive compared to other solutions on the market."
"The product’s pricing should be improved."
"The reporting has to be flexible or it will turn the end-user off."
"They need to improve the logs and need to write some sort of script that clears logs after so many days."
"We had stability issues, but Oracle support resolved them."
"We found that the system was unable to address many of our concerns, especially when it comes to project management."
"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

"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."
"The pricing is an "arm-and-a-leg". This keeps the customers away from going for J.D. Edwards."
"Upgrading projects can make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne costlier, so it needs cost reduction in this area."
"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."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
"The price of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is high. However, every ERP solution has a high price."
"In terms of price, it is not on the high end."
"The price of the solution is not cheap. However, it is priced average amongst competitors."
