Unit4 is good for small and mid-level companies where they need a single platform to manage their functionality.

• 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.

• Since the software is built with your needs in mind, it can be tailored to your specific needs.

• 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.

Unit4 is very easy to use. One can use it without much technical knowledge.

Their consultant and support service is also very responsive.

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.
