• The new versions (9.2) of JDE has so much open functionality and really gives the user control over the screens and what they want to see. Love that the layout of the screen is really up to the user and what they want to see it along with freezing columns and creating favorites for way access.
• It is so flexible with the system platforms that it can run on and so easy to customize since it supports so many databases.
• It is intuitive and does not need to have a lot of training on how to use the software.
• It's just a great ERP software and one of the better ones I've seen.
• Oracle is FINALLY starting to listen to the users and SIGs and putting enhancements into the system which makes life easier for us business users.

• The Quality Assurance Module needs some better integration with inventory. We still do this process manually
• The Maintenance module needs the same work as the Quality Assurance Module
• The Warehouse Module does sometimes get a bit wonky, but overall is okay.

Incentivized

• The Configurable Network Language (CNC) is a proprietary protocol, and it can be difficult to source resources that understand this language well.
• It has some inherent limitations with generating PDF or printable files. Most organizations use a third party platform like Creat!form or Bottomline to solve this.
• No built in credit card processing solution, and no plug-and-play eCommerce or webstore capabilities available.

I gave this Rating to Aptean due to the many great functions it has and how specially designed it is for food manufacturing. The customer support however, sometimes gets a bit irritating

great design and continuous improvements

Support for the product is good, but very complicated via ticket process. And emergency tickets dont get resolved right away which then halts usage of the system.

Aptean blows QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise out of the water. Everything Aptean does compared to Quickbooks is 100x better in all aspects from AP, to AR, to inventory management, to purchase orders

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.
