Integration and customization streamline complex processes for improved efficiency
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. Other software like Salesforce or Cognos offers a good user interface where users find it intuitive to navigate. It should be more accessible, even for those who have never interacted with JD Edwards World before.

Newcomers benefit from automation and user-friendly integration
PeopleSoft is affordable for existing customers only, not for new customers. The popularity is declining for several reasons. Resources are moving to cloud solutions such as Workday cloud. Even though it is the same Oracle environment, professionals are transitioning due to challenges in availability, scalability, and resource allocation. When there are limited hiring opportunities for a particular technology, professionals must consider switching technologies either internally within their organization or personally. If a project ends and someone is placed on bench without new opportunities, they often need to switch to technologies with more market demand. Currently, resources are frequently moving to other ERP systems such as Workday, SAP, Mulesoft, and Salesforce, as there are numerous ERP systems in the marketplace.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has worked fine for many years."
"I rate JD Edwards World as an eight."
"I like that JD Edwards World is perfect for my use cases, but what I like best about it is its navigation."
"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."
"Menu creation is easier now."
"JD Edwards World supports operations in manufacturing and distribution, which are crucial for our organization."
"The most valuable feature for me is the traceability customization, which allows me to track the movement and history of artifacts in our ecosystem."
"We've found the initial setup to be easy."
"PeopleSoft is resilient and has the flexibility for us to customize it."
"I would recommend the solution. It's very stable and scalable, which makes it a reliable solution."
"The integration between Human Capital Management (HCM) and PeopleSoft is an important feature."
"It's great for helping users deal with their supply chain."
"It's a mature product."
"The synchronization of business processes, and the software, streamlined the shared service departments to run 40% leaner."
"All the features of the solution are integral to the functionality. Additionally, the navigation customization is beneficial."
"A valuable feature is HCM."
 

Cons

"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
"The technical support from Oracle needs a lot of improvement. Both the response time and quality of support require enhancement."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"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."
"The interfaces need to be more user-friendly. For example, our purchaser had difficulties updating prices as it required updating line by line."
"The integration technology could be stronger at this point."
"I would like report creation to be easier."
"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."
"Often support just asks people to install a lot of upgrades. Sometimes they don't really give you clear details as to why you need to upgrade. They just say, "You need to upgrade this because there's a newer image, etc". They never really give you the reason underlying why you are having errors."
"Regarding technical support, they often discourage using PeopleSoft and push for Oracle. Many support staff are offshore and don't understand the system well."
"This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support."
"The solution could improve by offering PeopleSoft site licenses. Currently, Oracle is pushing for everyone to transition to the cloud, but clients are discontent with this approach. Offering new PeopleSoft site licenses would be the most beneficial for our clients."
"The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It would be helpful for the end-user if the reports were customized. They would be able to select the fields while generating their reports."
"We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product."
"Response time takes very long and requires a person to be awake night and day to benefit from it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
