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.""Menu creation is easier now.""The most valuable feature for me is the traceability customization, which allows me to track the movement and history of artifacts in our ecosystem.""Collecting data in standard formats for processing in a data warehouse.""The solution's UI is user friendly and has good performance and good search facility.""The most valuable feature of JD Edwards World is its ease of use and unique functions.""The ease of use is consistently there.""It has worked fine for many years."

"A robust product with integration between all modules.""SAP S/4HANA dominates around 70 percent of the ERP market in Chile, and I believe this isn't merely coincidental. I've always maintained that if someone believes SAP S/4HANA lacks a certain functionality, they haven't explored it thoroughly. However, there's a widespread lack of understanding regarding its full potential and how to configure it.""I have found the most valuable features are the interface, which is very good for all users, and the database performance is good.""The scalability is excellent, especially on cloud deployment models.""SAP S/4HANA is the preferred database because of its scalability, faster accessibility, compatibility, and other well-suited features for large data sets.""One of the most valuable features is the in-memory database.""The solution's most valuable features are performance and processes.""S/4HANA falls under a single terminal. We can easily access the data, and the performance is good."

Cons
"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.""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.""Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards.""World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it.""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 report creation to be easier.""There is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support."

More JD Edwards World Cons →

"The solution is quite expensive.""I would like to see the AI included to help from a data standpoint.""In an upcoming release of SAP S4HANA, chain management should be easier.""Maybe its user interface and reporting can be improved across the board, but it is manageable.""This product would be improved by adding more reports.""If I can highlight one point that could be improved, when we talk about other ERPs, like Oracle, nowadays these ERPs provide free integration with other ERPs. For example, there is an API for banks integrated into every tool and every product form requires that bank integration in order to give real time data into the ERP. But SAP is charging a lot for that particular bank integration scenario and I think it should be free because other ERPs are providing this feature built in to the ERP. People always ask us about the integration and how much it will cost to go with that solution, so people are thinking about this.""The product should improve its cost.""It's an expensive solution"

    A Mechanical Engineer at a construction company says, “It is a very powerful, highly customizable tool. The most valuable feature is that the reporting is fast. We can see the results from that in that our commissions come in fast. That is the main advantage.”

    Another reviewer, a SAP Technology Manager at a financial services firm, mentions, "It is more or less a very, very smooth and seamless product. Day by day they are increasing their technology features and they are keen to resolve the issues. India has a complex business scenario and SAP is thinking about that and resolving the issues day by day. In terms of the features I have found most valuable, I don't think that there is any lack or any gap process-wise. SAP is a very good tool."
