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.

Provides efficiency for small businesses, but requires costly add-ons for broader capabilities
I am currently using SAP products but not primarily selling SAP. Regarding real-time data processing capabilities, it is partially helpful for decision-making. It has built-in capability for real-time data, but it's not interactive data analytics. People need another solution such as Power BI to be integrated to get real-time data with interactive analytics. When it comes to customizing reporting in SAP Business One, it has the capability to customize reports via SAP Crystal Reports. It has a good amount of reports, but for each business, you need to understand exactly what the customer needs to customize their reports. The solution includes a mobile app to access key business information, though it is a very weak mobile app. The main benefit SAP Business One provides to users is ease of access. It's very good to present to customers, both from the interface and capabilities perspective. It's suitable for small to medium companies, making the buy-in for the solution very good. The pricing for SAP Business One is very competitive. Overall, SAP Business One is a very good solution for small to medium businesses. If your company is looking for an ERP to run end-to-end business, this is the solution. You need specific add-ons to run in specific industries, but it's approximately 70% good for most small to medium companies. My overall rating for SAP Business One is 7 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

"It has worked fine for many years."
"I rate JD Edwards World as an eight."
"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
"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."
"Collecting data in standard formats for processing in a data warehouse."
"The sales and wholesale distribution are great."
"Technical support is quite good. They are helpful and responsive. We are quite satisfied with their level of support."
"It's user-friendly and comes with comprehensive manuals. So, it is easy to learn to use SAP Business One"
"I had been using it for the end-to-end functionality."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is the ability to manage your entire business with one software package."
"We are using it for accounts and finance and also for maintaining third-party transactions and non-CRM transactions."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is the price and reputation of the vendor. The solution is widely accepted around the world."

Cons

"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."
"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable so that it could be available to a broader audience. My clients want more analytics or data analysis features from JD Edwards World."
"The technical support from Oracle needs a lot of improvement. Both the response time and quality of support require enhancement."
"There is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support."
"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."
"The interfaces need to be more user-friendly. For example, our purchaser had difficulties updating prices as it required updating line by line."
"Our company is expanding to different countries, and business is growing. We feel that it is not good enough for the huge volume of the business. On-premises setup is not good enough for the overseas office. We have our onsite premises in Hong Kong, but we have a major sales office in the US. We are looking for a more efficient setup to fulfill our requirements and needs. It can have portals for vendors, suppliers, and customers. I know that they have this feature in version 10, but it still has space to improve."
"It could have RPA automation and RPA elements. There could also be add-ons for a Document Management System and Warehouse Management System."
"It would be ideal if the reporting and dashboards were improved upon."
"The solution could improve by having some added authentication, such as SAP CC or SAP S4HANA."
"There are limitations around integrations."
"The solution needs to have comprehensive visibility into the entire sales-to-purchase cycle, enabling businesses to monitor SO-PO relationships, track order progress, and generate insightful reports."
"Overall, the integration and the reports can be better."
"Improvements are required in the support for partner-delivery add-ons, functional graphs, user development, and BI since certain shortcomings exist in these areas."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"You have to pay for a license, and the license cost is calculated based on the number of users you have."
"SAP Business One is moderately priced."
"Pricing for me, it's not very interesting. I think it's priced at a normal level."
"The price of SAP Business One is not comparable to other solutions. SAP is a well-known brand, and its price is on the higher side. However, if the solution offers the right fit for an organization the price is not a major concern for those who choose to use it."
"On average, the licensing costs can be around 50,000 USD. Pricing of the product has certain variables, including the number of licenses and the implementation costs."
"Licenses are available on a monthly or yearly basis, and it costs about $1,200 per license, per user."
"The price of SAP Business One is reasonable."
"In terms of price, it's fair, but the problem is with AMC."
"If you are in the US or Canadian the costs of SAP Business One could vary per license, it can be anywhere between $2,000 tor $5,000."
