Featured Reviews

Suresh Wickramasinghe - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplifies finance processes and is easy to use but requires a user-friendly interface
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a user-friendly ERP solution that is quite simple. It has a very straightforward interface, which allows end users, especially those with a finance background like me, to engage in finance areas such as vouchers, manual vouchers, email receipts, and GL analysis efficiently. This ERP system is easy to handle; anyone can learn it faster compared to other ERPs. For smaller companies or startups, I would recommend JD Edwards.
Venkat Sudni - PeerSpot reviewer
It's a user-friendly cloud-based solution that startups and small businesses can afford
Setting up NetSuite ERP is pretty straightforward. It's a plug-and-play solution that comes with the default bundle. We uploaded our GLs and charter accounts and added our company code to the architecture. It can be up and running in under a month. It takes at least five people to deploy NetSuite.

"Flexibility is the most valuable aspect of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne because it allows customization."
"I have found the solutions best features to be financial procurement, inventory, and manufacturing."
"It is highly configurable. You have a choice in terms of how you want to run it. You can run it in your own data center, in a private cloud, or in a public cloud. The choice is really up to the customer."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is the flashback it quickly takes you to the data browser. Additionally, one of the newer tools is the orchestrator which is very good."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne has improved within all the solutions and there have been a lot of investments by Oracle in these solutions. Most of the functionalities, and business requirements, are available for the system in the solution and there have been enhancements to the processes, UI, and tools, which have been done on a regular basis."
"The financials are great."
"The most valuable feature is that it works according to how the Internet works."
"The most valuable feature in NetSuite ERP is the user interface."
"I would say that the solution is highly configurable."
"It offers reporting flexibilities that were previously unavailable to us."
"The most valuable aspect of NetSuite ERP is the multi-subsidiary portion, it is the strongest across all the other ERPs. If you want to do consolidations, it works a lot better than other tools."
"It is a very solid product for finance and procure-to-pay processes."
"NetSuite ERP has dramatically improved our organization. We went from QuickBooks to NetSuite. You can compare this transition to changing from tennis shoes to a flying car."
"I am impressed with the product's ease of use. It also helps us reduce the techstack."
 

Cons

"The licensing is expensive compared to other solutions on the market."
"Originally, there were some complications with implementation."
"There is room for improvement on the payroll side, as the solution is not very strong in this area."
"The reporting has to be flexible or it will turn the end-user off."
"Implementing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne can have its challenges. For example, we faced issues like timeout exceptions in a recent integration project while pulling data from third-party systems."
"Lacking in certain areas of support."
"There is room for improvement on the payroll side, as the solution is not very strong in this area."
"It does not submit the inquiry as requested. We have to close the application and restart the computer."
"The areas that this product needs to improve on is the implementation and inventory processes."
"It would be great if they offered localization for Central America."
"The main implementation challenge is finding experienced consultants to translate customer needs into NetSuite ERP's standard functionality. The second challenge is getting enough time from customers for proper implementation."
"What needs to be improved is the development in the other areas and other businesses that can use NetSuite."
"The custom reports could be improved."
"The solution could be more stable."
"The product should improve its warehouse management solution."
"Additionally, adding advanced modules such as AI components or customer service modules could help the system become more scalable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Upgrading projects can make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne costlier, so it needs cost reduction in this area."
"It depends on the number of users and the modules that you want to buy. It is licensed on a perpetual license basis. You buy the license costs upfront, and then there is maintenance for support that you pay every year, which is typically about 20%."
"The price of the solution is not cheap. However, it is priced average amongst competitors."
"More transparent pricing of the software is needed."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
"It's very competitively priced. The only problem now is that most of the industry is moving towards software as a service or a subscription model, whereas JD Edwards has a capital expenditure. You would spend on the licenses once off. You can either host it on-premise or in the cloud, but there is a licensing fee once a year."
"In terms of price, it is not on the high end."
"The pricing is very high. Even though the license is perpetual yet you have to get the maintenance. Since we pay using Pesos, it's very expensive."
"I would advise that you first meet with and scope out your project with a NetSuite VAR (Value Added Reseller)."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"Pricing for NetSuite ERP is okay, but it could be better. The licensing model for NetSuite ERP is based on the number of modules and users. The standard license covers up to twenty-five users. If you have more than twenty-five users, you'll have to buy the premium license, which would double the price. For one module with five user licenses, the cost is between $40,000 to $50,000."
"Regarding costs, it's not just about licensing. Customization recurring costs can become expensive over five to eight years, especially with new releases. However, NetSuite ERP integrates well with third-party applications, so it can still be used for finance while another ERP is used for localized production."
"It is expensive."
"The price of the solution is quite high."
"The price is less than the cost of daily hours."
"It is completely on a subscription basis. We pay yearly and, and you do not have to do anything on a monthly basis. Prices depend on the organization's scale and all those things, but they are doing a good job with the pricing."
