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."

Cons
"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 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.""Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore.""World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it.""The integration technology could be stronger at this point.""There is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support.""Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards.""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."

More JD Edwards World Cons →

"I would like to improve the tool’s reporting and coding part.""I think Microsoft should improve on the process of how the user decides on a business workflow. For example, there may be some kind of drag-and-drop interface that lets us decide for ourselves how to develop the business workflows that fit our purpose.""There is room for improvement in terms of compatibility.""The Power BI integration could be more seamless.""There is room for improvement in the ability to reverse or correct transactions more easily.""There is a lot of improvement needed in the top model, such as better integration with logistics, quality management, and data modeling for all revenue types.""There are some aspects of the solution that is complex.""As our company grew we had to switch from Microsoft Dynamics NAV to a solution that was suited for larger-sized companies."

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."
  • More JD Edwards World Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The first time we tried to buy the newest version, it was expensive."
  • "I have some subscription-based customer and a few customers who have perpetual licenses that hosted the application on the cloud."
  • "The price of the solution is reasonable."
  • "The price of the solution is reasonable."
  • "I think the pricing is the best; it's cost effective for sure."
  • "Microsoft Dynamics NAV has a pay-as-you-use payment model."
  • "NAV might be a little pricey for a small or medium-sized company, but all the solutions out there are."
  • "The cost is one of the benefits. If you don't want to go for the full-blown finance and operations, the pricing model is a lot cheaper and has now switched to being based on a per-user subscription. So, if it's on cloud, you now have an expense instead of a large CapEx. If it's on-prem, you obviously still have to continue with the licensing model that they have, but if you compare the features and functionality, in terms of the price that you pay, I find it's better than other products. My answer on the pricing would be slightly different, depending on the country you're in and the return on investment, based on the size of the company. It's well-priced internationally. I think the new model is priced even better because it's now subscription-based and, if you go for cloud, the return on investment is a lot quicker and if it's expense, you can cap it. If you do take the on-prem version, the licensing is still priced as what it used to be, so that would depend on what country you are in."
