Chief Financial and Operating Officer at Aicrem Square
Has shown limitations in digital capabilities but has supported key processes over time
JD Edwards World's real-time data analytics is very limited, and while it can be helpful, it is not the same as EnterpriseOne. I am currently using inventory management in JD Edwards World. I am satisfied with the security architecture in JD Edwards World; it is very easy and user-friendly. Even in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, it is very adaptable and you have role-based security without needing additional software. I am totally satisfied with the security part of JD Edwards World, but you must just know what you are doing. I am currently using on-premises JD Edwards World. My final mark for JD Edwards World is about five; I think it was good for when it lasted, quite a few years ago, but it is very outdated now. Therefore, the way to go is EnterpriseOne or cloud. For current usage, I would rate JD Edwards World maybe a five. My overall review rating for JD Edwards World is five out of ten.
Hubert Wentzel - PeerSpot reviewer
Principle Consultant at iOCO
Accounting processes have become transparent and time tracking supports our consulting projects
The built-in analytics tools of NetSuite ERP are not good enough for my needs. I did not create the accounting reports; my accounting team developed all of those. I know that all the data we need to analyze in CRM and from projects must be exported, and we run reports on those. The built-in analytics tools in NetSuite ERP do not help me identify opportunities or risks at all. I export all the data and use Power BI to analyze it. I do not utilize the customizable dashboards and just use a normal home page. The inventory management feature does not help us because we do not have any inventory or stock. The advanced financial management features are basic, as general ledger functionality is fundamental to accounting. I would not call it advanced. The principles are as old as accounting itself. NetSuite ERP is a cloud-based accounting platform with nothing exceptional to note. Their pricing is a package deal, so the deeper the investment, the more features are available and the more difficult it becomes to leave. I would like to see additional features in the next release to make it more competitive. I only use a fraction of the functionality because we do not have logistics, merchandising, warehousing, or inventory. We are a consultancy that sells software, implements software products, and provides advisory services, so our accounting needs are actually quite basic. I would rate this product an eight overall.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Collecting data in standard formats for processing in a data warehouse."
"In my use cases, JD Edwards World offers flexibility in listing capabilities."
"JD Edwards World supports operations in manufacturing and distribution, which are crucial for our organization."
"The most valuable feature for me is the traceability customization, which allows me to track the movement and history of artifacts in our ecosystem."
"We have been satisfied with how it works and how stable and reliable it is."
"The solution has very good stability; there aren't any bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it's reliable."
"I think JDE ERP is very flexible and very convenient for the users."
"Overall, its flexibility and technological capabilities make it very valuable for my customers."
"The system notes give me information of who changed what."
"The most valuable feature I find in NetSuite ERP is that it functions as an accounting package for our accounting needs."
"As NetSuite ERP is a cloud product, a valuable feature I found in it is the very friendly user interface. You can set up shortcuts within the applications for frequently used reports or navigation. You can also customize dashboards in NetSuite ERP. Another feature I found valuable in the solution is good reporting. It has many industry-standard reports focused on finance and inventory. I also like the seamless switching between production and test environments and that you can customize the environments within NetSuite ERP. For example, you can put banners on your test and production environments to differentiate or segregate the logins to prevent mistakes. The solution is pretty easy to use and navigate, and it's more of a lightweight software. I like that it's a cloud product, so work is done on the front end rather than the back end. There's also a community for NetSuite ERP where you can raise your queries and issues. You'll find other people sharing experiences about common issues so you can get quick fixes from the community."
"A huge plus point for me is that you're always on the latest version, with upgrades included in the subscription, and as it's a genuine cloud-based product, you don't need servers, server managers, server rooms, backups, or an IT team to organize access for you."
"I would say that the solution is highly configurable."
"The product is very flexible and can adjust to the customer's needs."
"The inventory feature in NetSuite ERP is very valuable to me because it provides clear estimates about the depreciation of details and includes useful mobile modules."
"NetSuite is a better value than some competing solutions. The fee structure is simpler, and other ERP solutions don't offer as many options for configuration."
 

Cons

"JD Edwards World is very outdated and not really supported anymore."
"The flexibility and ability to integrate external applications are increasingly vital."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable so that it could be available to a broader audience. My clients want more analytics or data analysis features from JD Edwards World."
"There is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support."
"The integration technology could be stronger at this point."
"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."
"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"I would like to see improved customization options in NetSuite ERP, possibly through generative modules, to enhance flexibility and efficiency."
"If some company already has a very large presence, in terms of employees or in terms of their products, and they are fully matured, they have a lot of different complex processes in their business, then NetSuite might not be the right choice for that stage of the business."
"The areas that this product needs to improve on is the implementation and inventory processes."
"Technical support is very weak. That's because, once again, they've hired a bunch of kids."
"The manufacturing aspect needs to improve."
"The user interface could be improved. The latest technology can be used to improve the list view of records and load pages faster on a browser."
"The solution could be more stable."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable."
"You have to pay for a license, and the license cost is calculated based on the number of users you have."
"The price of JD Edwards World is reasonable. Since it is a legacy solution the price has been reduced."
"The price of the solution is quite high."
"When people buy ERP, it's a competitive situation and the pricing is paramount."
"It is expensive."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"It's very competitively priced due to it being a subscription model. So, clients are quite happy with the pricing. I would rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"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."
"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."
