Chief Financial and Operating Officer at Aicrem Square
Has shown limitations in digital capabilities but has supported key processes over time
JD Edwards World's real-time data analytics is very limited, and while it can be helpful, it is not the same as EnterpriseOne. I am currently using inventory management in JD Edwards World. I am satisfied with the security architecture in JD Edwards World; it is very easy and user-friendly. Even in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, it is very adaptable and you have role-based security without needing additional software. I am totally satisfied with the security part of JD Edwards World, but you must just know what you are doing. I am currently using on-premises JD Edwards World. My final mark for JD Edwards World is about five; I think it was good for when it lasted, quite a few years ago, but it is very outdated now. Therefore, the way to go is EnterpriseOne or cloud. For current usage, I would rate JD Edwards World maybe a five. My overall review rating for JD Edwards World is five out of ten.

Incharge Corporate Accounts & ERP System at General Pharmaceuticals Limited.
Has connected financial data across departments and improved future cash flow planning
I would like to improve the integration with other solutions, as I need everything integrated, like the HR module, purchase module, SCM, production, and engineering. Each and every module should be connected to the finance module, and I think Oracle provides the right solution. Also, SAP, IFS, or Microsoft Dynamics 365 offer some solutions, but I am not as happy with them as I am with Oracle. I believe that Oracle E-Business Suite could improve by transitioning from Java-based scripts in our system to a web-based environment. While Oracle already has JD Edwards available in web-based format, I think it needs to be smoother for optimization and presentation in the future. In comparison, IFS is fully web-based, and all applications are sufficiently good and user-friendly. We are developing and trying to improve to a web-based setup, but it is currently too costly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think JDE ERP is very flexible and very convenient for the users. I think EnterpriseOne is more convenient for users to do the inquiry and do the data entry. The UI is better than JDE World. For JDE products, including the World version, is very flexible. It's a good product for clients."
"I think JDE ERP is very flexible and very convenient for the users."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards World is its ease of use and unique functions."
"The solution has very good stability; there aren't any bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it's reliable."
"Overall, its flexibility and technological capabilities make it very valuable for my customers."
"The most valuable feature in JD Edwards World is World Writer, the reporting functionality; inventory management in JD Edwards World is useful and it helps with supply chain as long as the setup is done correctly."
"A global system with a local presence and intercontinental communication, it provides us with a common language, product, and customer base."
"It has worked fine for many years."
"On-Time Payroll and its features are user-friendly."
"It's quite secure and fast, and we get an end-to-end solution."
"The most valuable features of the Oracle E-Business Suite are best practices, built-in processes, and easy configuration, with plenty of system functionality and customization."
"For us, the most valuable feature is that we have one database, one instance; yet we operate in more than six countries across the world, so it makes it easy for us to run with a very small IT staff."
"Order to cash and procure to pay process: They are valuable features because of their integration and flexibility."
"Payroll and online benefits enrollment"
"It is a solution for GFMIS (Governmental Fiscal Management Information Systems)."
"We want a one-stop shop to solve all of our problems."
 

Cons

"The interfaces need to be more user-friendly. For example, our purchaser had difficulties updating prices as it required updating line by line."
"Improvements are needed in transitioning JD Edwards World to a more stable and reliable cloud product, particularly in terms of GDPR and data privacy compliance."
"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
"JDE World is more stable than JDE EnterpriseOne. For JDE EnterpriseOne, the Integrity part will generate some errors; since they have low Integrity, we get some duplicate records in the accumulator table."
"Having tools that allow for small but fast adaptations of packages is crucial, as needing skilled programmers for every minor report or mask adaptation is a constraint my customers no longer favor."
"I have more than 18 years of JDE experience in JDE EnterpriseOne and World versions. I think JDE is good but compared to SAP and Oracle EPS, we can see which area needs to have some improvement for JDE."
"The integration technology could be stronger at this point."
"There are a lot of new technologies coming out and JD Edwards World could improve by having better integration with other databases. The integration with the databases and applications should be in real-time, such as with Oracle."
"I would like an end-to-end in terms of processes. There are different modules, however, there's not that end-to-end that we are looking for in terms of process automation."
"The account executive was good, but when it came to training HR, it really failed - on this point I'd rate Oracle as 3/10."
"For smaller ERP solutions, Oracle EBS is a complex solution which has complex requirements."
"The interface is pretty old."
"The UI isn't up to speed with most digital marketing-style interfaces."
"They should include database functionality."
"Some of my clients report that the overall ease of use could be simplified."
"Areas for improvement would be that sometimes it's a bit rigid with customization and doesn't always facilitate region-specific requirements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You have to pay for a license, and the license cost is calculated based on the number of users you have."
"The price of JD Edwards World is reasonable. Since it is a legacy solution the price has been reduced."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable."
"Whatever the products you use, you'll be paying a yearly maintenance price or a support price."
"Oracle has different licensing models available. For example, concurrent user license metric and power unit licensing metric. It is different from product to product, but for the application itself, the license is by the number of users."
"The licensing cost of Oracle E-Business Suite is quite competitive. It's quite flexible, so it can be adapted to the requirements of my company. For confidentiality purposes, I'm unable to disclose how much Oracle E-Business Suite costs, but I'm rating its cost as eight out of ten."
"Fees for support and licensing should be reduced."
"Oracle scales the pricing, but E-Business Suite is still very expensive for small to mid-sized businesses."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is heavy subscriptions based and the solution's upgrades, under the technology licensing, are quite costly. Additionally, support is an extra cost. The price of the solution could be reduced."
"This product is more expensive if you compare it to SAP."
"There is an annual licensing fee and you are able to add features depending on the scope of the environment."
