Featured Reviews

Tapas Karmakar - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration capabilities and reporting functions enhance workflow efficiency
The primary issue I have observed is that when JD Edwards World is installed, it involves a shared architecture between the development, test, and production environments. This setup should be avoided. Additionally, Oracle should integrate some AI features into JD Edwards World but not rely entirely on AI due to potential disadvantages, such as increased electricity consumption impacting global warming. Improvements are also needed in tech support, specifically in response time and quality.
Suryansh Kaushal - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved access to transactional data and supported return on investment
Some clients in my past complained about the accounting setup, as it requires people who already have knowledge about NetSuite ERP. They don't appreciate having to pay for consultants or specialists to work with it. It's not easier for them to understand. But every other feature that NetSuite ERP has is pretty decent. They're even introducing new features such as Bill Capture which was introduced last year. My sales and warehouse managers don't find the demand planning feature effective. They say it's quite buggy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, its flexibility and technological capabilities make it very valuable for my customers."
"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've found the initial setup to be easy."
"It has worked fine for many years."
"The ease of use is consistently there."
"In my use cases, JD Edwards World offers flexibility in listing capabilities."
"I rate JD Edwards World as an eight."
"Collecting data in standard formats for processing in a data warehouse."
"NetSuite ERP is good for a trading company that involves buying and selling."
"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."
"We leverage the core platform but are able to add additional functionality for ease of use, tailored processes, and industry related reporting."
"We use it for the projects we do in the telecom industry."
"It's integrated into everything well so you can navigate and use it in a very simple way."
"I have found there to be many features, such as manufacturing, accounting, financials, inventory, and purchasing."
"The most valuable feature is that it works according to how the Internet works."
"I am impressed with the product's ease of use. It also helps us reduce the techstack."
 

Cons

"Having tools that allow for small but fast adaptations of packages is crucial, as needing skilled programmers for every minor report or mask adaptation is a constraint my customers no longer favor."
"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
"The interfaces need to be more user-friendly. For example, our purchaser had difficulties updating prices as it required updating line by line."
"The integration technology could be stronger at this point."
"There is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support."
"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."
"I would like report creation to be easier."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"The communication has been peculiar, and the overall commercial process has been less than satisfactory."
"In terms of the main improvement to NetSuite is the talent itself. It's grown so fast and there are about 25,000 companies running on it, and it's a relatively newer system compared to other competitors. It's growing so fast that the talent base in the partner organization (there's about 200 of them), is pretty thin."
"The custom reports could be improved."
"As with any system offering large volumes of data, there are limitations on processing large volumes of data in custom ways."
"The pricing is high."
"The solution could be more stable."
"What needs to be improved is the development in the other areas and other businesses that can use NetSuite."
"The solution is not user-friendly and it is complex to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable."
"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."
"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."
"NetSuite ERP has a cost per module you want to use, and then you have the license per user."
"The price of the solution is quite high."
"It is expensive."
"When people buy ERP, it's a competitive situation and the pricing is paramount."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"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."
