Featured Reviews

MaggieVan Wyk - PeerSpot reviewer
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mark for JD Edwards World is about five; I think it was good for when it lasted, quite a few years ago, but it is very outdated now.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.

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 like that JD Edwards World is perfect for my use cases, but what I like best about it is its navigation."
"It has worked fine for many years."
"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
"The familiarity is great, and the ease of use is consistently there."
"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."
"We've found the initial setup to be easy."
"JD Edwards World is a good ERP with high security from the application design."
"The most valuable feature for me is the traceability customization, which allows me to track the movement and history of artifacts in our ecosystem."
"To do this before on paper basis, it was very time consuming, and now they can use the gained time to properly manage their workforce."
"This is a world-class application that includes a lot of business processes from other ERPs that Oracle has acquired."
"This is our ERP and we are using it for our entire supply chain flow, i.e., from the start of the billing to the shipping process."
"The solution offers strong integration capabilities, is balanced and sends good reports, is easy to use, stable, scalable, and supported by great technical support."
"The ease of use is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"A couple of things-- one is the support for the multiple languages, locale, so the internationalization is a valuable feature."
"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."
"The most valuable features are that it's more flexible than other ERPs available on the market, and it is very easy for users to learn and for business processes to be configured."
 

Cons

"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"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."
"The technical support from Oracle needs a lot of improvement. Both the response time and quality of support require enhancement."
"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."
"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."
"The integration technology could be stronger at this point."
"The user interface in JD Edwards World is very crude; I press a button to get to the application, unlike EnterpriseOne, which offers a more finished experience with dashboards."
"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."
"We didn't go with the standard features of the Oracle SOA Suite in which the Oracle APIs were included; these APIs we wrote on our own. If we had used the standard ones, which were a part of the Oracle SOA Suite, it could have been better for us."
"I would rate the support for Oracle E-Business Suite a four out of five."
"We've found that technical support has been challenging as they are not always the most forthcoming with information nor are they the most highly-trained techs when you open SRs."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is not great for small and medium-sized enterprises."
"It's more expensive than other options due to licensing costs and core-based hardware."
"One issue with the product is because it build on a lot of older technologies, there is a substantial technical debt in the system."
"We have project contracts for government customers, and that has been a little bit tougher to implement, because I don't think Oracle has a lot of clients on that."
"The support site is the only bad thing I've seen with Oracle. Unless you type in the exact right words, you don't get the right answers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of JD Edwards World is reasonable. Since it is a legacy solution the price has been reduced."
"You have to pay for a license, and the license cost is calculated based on the number of users you have."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable."
"There is an annual licensing fee and you are able to add features depending on the scope of the environment."
"Fees for support and licensing should be reduced."
"This product is more expensive if you compare it to SAP."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
"Oracle scales the pricing, but E-Business Suite is still very expensive for small to mid-sized businesses."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is cheaper than SAP. It is expensive."
"Products concerning areas like CRM and ERP should provide value at lesser costs to customers, especially if you consider that the initial cost of implementation is high."
