Infor SunSystems vs. Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne

I think the integration side of Infor SunSystems is really good where by it works well with our other business systems. It is easy to pick up for new staff members. We have not had to hold full blown training courses for unfamiliar users, they were able to use existing documentation and guides. The graphical interface is a drawback as it feels like you are using an old system.

If there are lot of complicated systems this might not be the best system. If you have only some complexity Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a product a technical or application person can wrap their hands around and understand the whole system.

• Integration options are very good. We are able to import data in a number of ways and extract data as well. The use of their built in API for data validation, extraction and entry is working very well for us.

• JD Edwards is very configurable in handling different sales order entry scenarios.
• JD Edwards can be customized to present focused information on the login screen of a user so a user can better focus on the applications or reports that are relevant to their job.
• JD Edwards is also very effective in creating relationships between various customer accounts and the relationships between them.

• Although easy to use, Infor SunSystems has a very classical look which comes across outdated
• Reporting feature is Infor SunSystems is not the best as it is not easy to create reports and the built in reports are limited in the filter options available
• The Audit function needs configuring and is not ready out of the box so when you come to requiring audit data you can only retrieve after set up

• The interface is aging - The application has been around quite a while. Even with the more modern UI, it still feels like a 90's application and doesn't provide the quick augmentation options like what is found in Netsuite or cloud apps.
• A premise based - It's an application that was built to run on mini/mainframe environments, which were great for its time. However, in comparison to the hand's free environments in the cloud, it requires more iron and humans to maintain the solution.
• Speed to roll out new business models - It felt like, once you deployed a business setup, it was difficult to change and add new business features, especially those that contradict previous directions.

It is simple to use and implement as compared to complex softwares in the market that may take ample amount of time to implement. The budget is also slightly less to provide the same functionality that other softwares are providing. Also having Oracle database that comes with the system is much easier to handle and use and have much security.

• With the cost of living we had to reign in the budget this year. As it's easy to export data out of Infor SunSystems we were able to report on spend and gain greater control of outgoings
• One of our objectives is to build new homes for people. Infor SunSystems allowed us to budget and forecast all the costs to determine what we could achieve
• With Infor SunSystems being a popular accounting software we are able to recruit previous Infor SunSystems users therefore not having to spend on training staff which is very costly.

• The EnterpriseOne toolset is flexible and easily usable. Since they continue to invest and grow the product, we do get a good ROI out of it.
• The software was already here and installed when I started at this company but the business users seemed to really like it and adapt to it well so it must feed the need to manage our inventory and financials, etc.
