Dynamics 365 vs JD Edwards EnterpriseOne: Which is a better fit?

Adoba: Hi everyone, my name is Adoba. I lead technical and product at Alphora, a team of roughly seven to nine. I rate Dynamics at a four out of five. So we use Dynamics most for sales and our marketing. The sales Microsoft relationship, sales is a big part of what we do. We also use the service part, which is the customer service. The marketing part of Microsoft Dynamics help us keep in touch with our customers and our sales reps with the product. So being in the Microsoft ecosystem is one of the best things with Dynamics. You have access to the entire product line that just works seamlessly together. Like I said, we do sales, CRM, marketing. All of those things are the individual products that we considered, but Microsoft was able to bring them together. The product for our sales, which we use the most, has really grown. The features that they've added has just been tremendous, and that's the best part about Microsoft Dynamics for us. I think there's always an issue with seat based billing, which is what we have with Dynamics today. I think that's just the biggest issue, and sometimes I think being part of the ecosystem of having access to Microsoft Dynamics to their products is an advantage but sometimes it can also be a disadvantage because, for us, we had everything siloed before in different other products but when we decided to use Dynamics we had to bring sales together into one product, bring marketing together into one product, bring our [inaudible 00:01:22] together into one product. That's sort of a disadvantage. I'm not sure how well these three things are able to work outside of each other if they're not connected under the same system so it was a huge consideration for us and I think for anyone who is wanting to use Dynamics.

Ganapathy: Hello. My name is Ganapathy. I work as an operational excellence and quality assurance manager in the paper and forest products industry, and I give Oracle a rating of five. I use Oracle on a daily basis to solve production related issues, particularly customer complaints, and also to look up on time completion of pack products on our way to the customer. There are two features in Oracle that I liked the most. The first one are called the favorites feature, where if one runs multiple reports on any given day, one doesn't need to start from scratch in the menus, one can run them from one's favorite menu. And the other feature that I love most about Oracle is how user-friendly it is. It takes very little training from the outside to learn how to use it, as long as you have access to the features. You can play around with it and pretty much learn most of it by yourself. The feature that I like least about Oracle is some menu options do look a little old world as compared to more modern apps that we're used to. But one tends to look past the look and focus more on the functionality. But if it did look a little more modern, I think it would be more widely accepted among younger users.
