User-friendly, stable, and scalable
The initial setup can be a bit tedious. If we have to set the hang-up, the process of scrubbing the tables is also tedious. Therefore, we need someone with the necessary skills and experience. However, if we have experience in JD Edwards, the initial setup should be manageable. The deployment time depends on the organization. If the prototype and business processes have already been completed by the company, then we will only need to manage the project for them to go live. However, this is especially true for recent cases. It takes a bit of time to do an enterprise deployment, so if we only have to do financial and procurement, we can expect it to take four to six months. It also depends on the customer's readiness and we require eight consultants for a medium-sized deployment.

Good integration, user-friendly, reliable and helpful technical support
I am proud to say that Microsoft Dynamics AX serves as the central point for all operations across the corporation, including our six hotels and ten other companies I think it would expand all the company's operations. This solution's most valuable feature is its workflow for purchase orders and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is the flashback it quickly takes you to the data browser. Additionally, one of the newer tools is the orchestrator which is very good."
"I have found the solutions best features to be financial procurement, inventory, and manufacturing."
"Its user interface and ease of navigation are valuable."
"It is easy to inquire about any account in our company."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is perfect for our reporting for the management, workflow, and procurement workflow."
"We do a straight forward, simple plug and play installation so there are no problems technically now."
"The product has been stable so far."
"There are numerous good features."
"It is flexible and cost-effective."
"The most valuable feature is the workflow of the modules."
"I like that it's a complete ERP solution from production level to branch level."
"It is easy to use, and it has a great UI. It has very well-structured modules. In terms of setup and configuration, they're logically placed, which makes it easy for any user to pick up information and learn more about the system, rather than just be plain key users of that business operating system."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics AX is material planning."
"The installation is extremely simple, and I have had no problems with it."
"According to user feedback, the product's most valuable features are modern web-based accessibility and user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics AX is customization."
 

Cons

"The solution could be easier to implement. However, the complexity was in our internal processes meeting our country's requirements. Every country has a slightly different process, taxation, and rules. That was the difficult part, not the solution itself. I expect our experience would have been more or less the same with any ERP, such as SAP, Navision, or Dynamics."
"Lacking in certain areas of support."
"The reporting has to be flexible or it will turn the end-user off."
"The initial setup was complex...One should get the end-user manual because, in some parts, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is not user-friendly."
"What would make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne better is more straightforward project implementation, including reducing the costs associated with upgrading projects."
"Implementing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne can have its challenges. For example, we faced issues like timeout exceptions in a recent integration project while pulling data from third-party systems."
"Something that could be included is a supply chain management system. That's what we're looking for."
"The only issue with the solution that it yet to consider improvements in its price."
"There is room for improvement in the licensing model and associated costs of this solution."
"If I had to add something in the next release, it would probably be a mobile application for a sister application of Dynamics 365; not the ERP but the Dynamics 365 HR solution. It would definitely help if we could have Microsoft or a Microsoft partner introduce a mobile application for it."
"There is no Arabic interface in Microsoft Business Central, which is a big weak point."
"Microsoft Dynamics AX should include more connectors for third-party integrations. It should also include more features that AI models can govern."
"The product needs improvement in procurement planning. It also needs to include a production scheduling feature."
"There is also slowness in database backup."
"Microsoft could provide more flexible hardware requirements that can scale with the volume of data being processed rather than providing only a minimum requirement."
"It is being decommissioned."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs are on a yearly basis, and there are no additional costs."
"The maintenance of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is expensive and overall the solution is expensive. Most enterprise operation solution is expensive."
"More transparent pricing of the software is needed."
"Upgrading projects can make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne costlier, so it needs cost reduction in this area."
"The price of the solution is not cheap. However, it is priced average amongst competitors."
"In terms of price, it is not on the high end."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
"It's very competitively priced. The only problem now is that most of the industry is moving towards software as a service or a subscription model, whereas JD Edwards has a capital expenditure. You would spend on the licenses once off. You can either host it on-premise or in the cloud, but there is a licensing fee once a year."
"Go for cloud implementation, if cost is critical."
"We pay for licensing yearly to use Microsoft Dynamics AX."
"The product's license is expensive. My company is located in a region where we have to pay the most for the tool due to our currency and inflation scenario."
"The tool's licensing model is based on user subscription. The pricing needs to be reduced for the Indian and South Asian markets."
"One license costs $1,000."
"I don't know how much this solution costs off the top of my head, but I know that the cloud and SaaS solutions are cheaper."
"The initial investment cost goes up due to the hidden cost."
"Microsoft Dynamics AX is expensive."

Hard to help without knowing more about your specific environment, but I would concur with Kevin - if you and your users are a Microsoft shop then Dynamics will probably win out on user acceptance in this comparison. This is a recurring theme in multiple case studies we have written. You may wish to consult this white paper: http://istart.com.au/research-articles/an-expert-guide-to-selecting-an...

I can only really speak about Dynamics Ax as I have little knowledge of the Jd Edwards package. From a users point of review we have had good feedback about most of the functionality. A few issues with low resolution machines and windows sizing but anyone that uses ms office should be able to pick up Dynamics relatively easy. The most difficult part is the data setup for financial and items. I will not say Dynamics is perfect as it will require some development work in areas that should be out of the box. However, as long as you are careful with what is changed then the product should meet most requirements. Just try to look at Business process change before changing core functionality. I have seen disasters where businesses try to amend the system to fit practices that are not within the Dynamics processes. Hope this assists Kind regards Tony Bowyer
