JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Reviews

Powerful software if you can implement the modules.

Comments: It has been and will continue to be our main corporate financial system for many years. We have expanded it to include real estate management and will soon be adding point of sale and ticketing modules to it.

Pros:

Comprehensive software, modules for more corporate functions than I can describe, reliable, an industry standard.

Cons:

The implementation and support of this software requires dedicated and trained personnel pretty much solely for its operation.

JDE will make your AP process smoother than ever

Comments: My overall experience with JD Edwards can be described as a learning ride. JDE is not too user friendly or intuitive, but once you learn how to use it and all the codes necessary for the actions required for your AP Process, then you can start to take full advantage of all its possibilities. In my team we have been very benefited by the use of this tool and are currently using it on a daily basis. I would totally recommend it.

Pros:

All the information needed about a vendor is already in the system when a new vendor creation is done, so you do not have to worry about remembering what are the payment terms, or checking what is their bank account. You just have to check that the invoice in the system was correctly processed and then once the payment is ran, you will get all the information on when the invoice will be paid, or you can even change the Net Due Date so it can be paid earlier if it is a down payment. Correction of payments is also very easy to do in JDE. You just have to create a PD (or cancellation document) for said payment and then create a new one with all the vendor information and change the items that were incorrectly booked, such as invoice amount, tax code, BU, among others. Then you just proceed to do the clearings so the action can be recorded in the books and done!

Cons:

One of the most important aspects for me is the ability to handle your vendor master data. Unfortunately for JDE this is not one of its brightest points. If the same vendor has changed their VAT and are now using a new one, or they changed their banking information, you cannot change it in the system, but you have to either create a new vendor with the new information, or duplicate the one existing and update the new items. This, sadly, takes quite some time (at least 48 hours), therefore impacting your payment process and generating delays.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne - Works fine but with some limited options

Comments: In our business we use JD Edwards for finance, distribution, procurement manufacturing and sales. As previously mentioned I believe this system is build quite properly but not in detail, so it is strong but might need to be checked into full detail. Reporting, planning and analytics is its strength from my point of view . We only just swapped this software and moved on from SAGE and it looks like it is actually working much better then SAGE, so I believe this was an upgrade.

Pros:

I mainly like the easy of use as all the options are really logic and simple to choose from. The menus show in a basic use for almost anybody to be able to understand them (even non accountants in order to use for Financial Use). It is quite flexible and you can configure the system to gain a maximum benefit out of it. The software itself is very stable and reliable which gives you peace in this sense as you want to have a software in your company that you can always rely on. I believe the software is also constantly being developed and new tools and new technologies are often included. I must admit I never usually have major problems with the system but just the odd small little issues which are the limited options I mention on my title.

Cons:

The Oracle Support tool is kind of unskillful and somehow the upgrades process is not usually smooth. As I mention on my title the options on selecting some payment terms are really limited (example if a company payment terms are 30 days month-end + 2 days, system goes crazy and is unable to set this up, you will either need to setup 30 days month-end payment terms and always have your invoices falling overdue although they are not or setup 45 days which exceeds this count). The application web client does not always identify Chrome, Internet Explorer...Maintenance cost is a bit high for its features.

A dizzying array of options and modules

Comments: Having used many ERP systems since, things can sure be simplified from the JDE way.
However the configurable nature of the software in my experience remains unmatched. Have fond memories of the powerful tool that is JDE.

Pros:

As a user I could appreciate the general ledger and search options within every program of JDE. Always helped to be able to search directly from one screen (rather than running a report for the data as per more rudimentary systems). For the user being able to check when reports ran (eg printed orders and other tasks) as well as scheduling to minimise server load for users, is invaluable.

Cons:

Could have just been the way we had our version configured, but certain tasks... price updates etc. These could be time consuming, click, type, click, type. We did have our JDE maintained by an overseas IT dept... and they put a lot back on the user to update themselves. I'm sure a report could have been written in each instance to update.

JDE, customizable but NOT user friendly at all

Comments: Once you become familiar with its interface, it becomes just a little bit easier to manage, but, from a very personal point of view, its user interface is the worst on the market.

Pros:

JDE is very customizable and configurable, you can download real time informatiom to be managed and polished in MS excel. It can be as simple and easy as you want or as complicated as it is. It can meet your company needs BUT it will require constant backup from a well trained and dedicated expert.

Cons:

Its very expensive, and it requires a lot of trainning and knowledge to be managed. New users tend to feel overwhelmed with the interface. Some of the options can be duplicated on the screens, they can be simplified and merged but, again, it will require constant backup from a well trained and dedicated expert.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne user review

Comments: As an Operational Excellence & Quality Assurance Manager on site, I use JD Edwards daily for product complaints & claims management, manufacturing processes cycle time analysis & for looking up various financial reports.

Pros:

This software has most of the basic needs of an ERP system suited to a standard-issue manufacturing facility. One can get used to its relatively old-world menu layout.

Cons:

This software is far less advanced than an obvious competitor; viz. SAP. I have used SAP in my previous job position and if I had to choose one over the other, SAP would be the clear winner. JD Edwards requires too much development work (issue development) to include even the most basic error-proofing features to ensure data integrity & accuracy.

Great Standardized Functionality

Comments: Overall, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a great solution for mature organizations looking for a proven software platform to meet their business needs.

Pros:

This platform is run on Oracle servers providing great reliability and standardization of functionality.

Cons:

While the reliability and stability of the platform is helpful, there is still great opportunity for the functionality to be customized to meet unique business needs.

Best ERP I worked with

Comments: Have been developing and implementing JDE all around the world for almost five years. Worked on JDE integration with other software as well.

Pros:

Easy to develop. Easy to implement. Fast, secure, simple. On my almost 5 years of experience, I really like how business processes can be managed using JDE.

Cons:

Development interface is way too outdated. Come on people, you can come up with something better. Had to wait until a few years ago to highlight some of the keywords? Event Rules can get your eyesight very tired.

you need a reliable ERP software, JDE offers the solution

Pros:

Ease of useSupport help when needed Several support forums when needed

Cons:

At times, reports takes longer than desired

Good but not so great

Comments: Not bad platform but comparing to Visual basic, I would definitely go with VB.

Pros:

I have been using it for almost two years and the package that our company bought provides basic features for its purpose.

Cons:

It took me a while to learn how to use it. Not very friendly in terms of easy use. I don't like a frequent log out sessions.

Fair experience on my 8 years of using this Software

Pros:

I used this program on the manufacturing and shipping department . When creating my production work orders i had to go through several steps, but once you find the way to do things is easy, and just add to your favorites for much easier and faster access. I used customer order reports , the only thing i needed to enter was the customer number / date ranges and will bring up every detail. Also Excel export is very simple.

Cons:

I wish that every job that is done can be found easier on my jobs list . Sometimes i wanted to find an specific document and i needed to keep clicking on almost every single one until found the desired one.

Great ERP System

Comments: Definitely, JD Edwards is a good software for companies that need integrate Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Logistic and Finances. This ERP help us to create BOM data for our manufacturing process, also there are applications of 3rd parties that help to read bar codes and interact with purchasing module to receive materials. Also the orders status helps to track our shipments in the warehouse management module.

Pros:

1.-Easy to entry data. 2.-User friendly. 3.-Easy to customize screen according user needs. 4.-Integration system with manufacturing and finance.

Cons:

1.-Reports needs to be created by developers. 2.-Data conversion required to create reports when extract certain data like (Amounts, Quantities and Dates) by SQL or Access DB.

Powerful ERP for Price

Comments: Highly recommend for mid market companies, particularity if in manufacturing

Pros:

- Robust, comprehensive ERP functionality for a great value - Latest releases (9.1 and 9.2) features tools including watchlist and orchestration which require almost no developer support once implemented - BI Publisher provides a powerful development interface for customizations when necessary

Cons:

- User interface, while improved, can be intimidating and difficult to navigate for end users especially those with limited ERP experience

Lots of options to work with. Very flexible, allows multiple facets to operate from same database.

Comments: consolidating all departments into one database. Ease of use compared to multiple different platforms used in the past.

Pros:

Lots of functionality. Able to operate entire business (finance, AP, production, shipping and receiving) from the same interface. Able to keep area segregated while operating from the same database interface.

Cons:

Lots of options to learn and different ways to perform actions. Can get confusing at first but gets easier as you go.

One of the main ERP for mid-size companies

Comments: It's a must have when you need to orchestrate many systems and platforms like e-commerce, MRP, and other softwares which impact on inventory and invoicing.Definitely a must have.

Pros:

The possibility to integrate it with all our platform and softwares and the fact that it can manage inventory, invoicing and all other critical process of the company.

Cons:

It requires a lot of training to business users and it requires the costant support of system integrator in order to deploy it according to the company needs.

Project Tracking

Comments: My team is able to use JD Edwards to obtain contracted work, track invoicing and overall project budgets.

Pros:

JD Edwards allows my team to tracking purchase order processing and invoicing in a timely and efficient way.

Cons:

To use JD Edwards, you have to have a good bit of training. There are many screens and it often is not easy to navigate.

Very convenience, and easy to understand

Comments: Multiple reports can be generated for tracing and tracking.

Pros:

Inventory control, stock sheet, stock by location, reporting by monthly, weekly, daily, date, PO, and so on.

Cons:

The specific modification are very limited to change or adjustment for example some expire date or comment, it is supposed to be adjustable for particular user to make it more convenient.

Great database and data entry tool/software!

Pros:

I don't think that there is much that you cannot do with this software. Love the importing and exporting to my company's 3rd party software.

Cons:

Too many ways to skin a cat that can lead to inefficiency and long waiting periods for a report. More software training is a plus, more live webinars or training videos.

Outstanding Accounting Software

Pros:

This is one of the most all inclusive software's I have used for accounting. The interface is simple to navigate for daily use, and complex enough for expert users to really get alot out of the accounting information.

Cons:

I dont have any cons for this software at this point.

All in one tool

Comments: Happy

Pros:

This is amazing, my team uses it for building orders, cutting checks, creating UPS labels, invoicing orders and keeping everything in order.

Cons:

At times there are several steps needed to correct an issue or mistake. It would be better if it was more user friendly.

Oracle

Pros:

Very accurate and easy to use. Powerful tool for managing your business, with simple to use interface.

Cons:

Costs more than some ERP systems, but you get a very good reliable and easy to use product for the money. I have not seen any performance negatives.

Does well for what it's meant to do

Pros:

JD Edwards is a powerful tool and does well with what it's supposed to do. If maintained and audited regularly, it performs well.

Cons:

JD Edwards requires about quite a bit of expensive maintenance to make it run at its full potential.

Footprint

Pros:

I really like that it timestamps each action that is done and records the name of the person that has done the action.

Cons:

Setting up searcher can be somewhat confusing. Searching in some fields isn’t allowed.

JDE

Pros:

It can do all the simple tasks quickly.

Cons:

The more in depth tasks, like reporting it either does not have the functions or they take to much time to complete.

JDE EO

Pros:

Very comprehensive. Able to meet our needs for R&D, Production, Billing & Shipping, Inventory, AP.

Cons:

Not easily customized without a JDE expert on staff.
