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.
James Balbach - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralizes our enterprise-wide functions but could benefit from cloud migration
We have dealt with customer service, and it was awful. For a system this size, it felt like we were merely buying software from them. They weren't really partnered with us on it. Reporting bugs and getting feedback, as well as having engineers work on issues, was very transactional. There was no real ownership on Oracle's part. During several support cases, it became difficult to determine ownership at Oracle and get status updates. The on-premises Oracle support is not great in my experience, and I think this is true in the industry. We've read about their software as a solution, and theoretically, their SaaS portal support is a lot better.

Pros

"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a user-friendly ERP solution that is quite simple."
"I have found the solutions best features to be financial procurement, inventory, and manufacturing."
"The most valuable feature is the user experience, where you can create your own queries, it sends you alerts, and it's very flexible."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"There are numerous good features."
"The solution is very customizable according to business needs."
"Flexibility is the most valuable aspect of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne because it allows customization."
"EnterpriseOne is stable and can be customized according to customer requirements."
"We can install the bundles based on our needs."
"The user interface is very good."
"The features that have been most effective in improving the financial management perspective include the budgeting, revenue recognition, and accounting perspectives."
"It offers reporting flexibilities that were previously unavailable to us."
"The initial setup is easy."
"I recommend this product to professional services companies and those with complex international financial requirements. NetSuite ERP has strong capabilities in the finance domain that other ERPs may lack."
"NetSuite ERP is a user-friendly cloud-based solution that posts into the GL in real time. You can see your profitability at the order level."
"I have found there to be many features, such as manufacturing, accounting, financials, inventory, and purchasing."
"The order management is excellent."
"Financial reconciliation and reporting."
"There is essentially one solution for every industry within Oracle — you won't require a third-party solution."
"If I want to manage many parts of my organization, such as finances, proceedings, or supply chain I would typically need to buy many different solutions. However, with Oracle E-Business Suite, it is all that is needed. This ERP system has many modules."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The new Subledger Accounting feature is very strong."
"The solution is perfect for big industry and high-scale e-business transactions."
"Oracle E-Business Suite improves forecast accuracy, reduces costs, and increases manufacturing capacity."
 

Cons

"Something that could be included is a supply chain management system. That's what we're looking for."
"Originally, there were some complications with implementation."
"We’d like to see technical support integrated within the application so that it is not required to raise additional incidents or do manual outreach to support."
"The implementation procedure could be simplified."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne could improve the speed because sometimes it takes time to load into the environment. This is typical when the ESU patch packages are used."
"There is room for improvement on the payroll side, as the solution is not very strong in this area."
"The solution could improve by having additional efficient analytics available to more users. They should allow a sample database to be able to test and do proof of concept would be extremely valuable to all of our clients."
"The reporting has to be flexible or it will turn the end-user off."
"An area for improvement in NetSuite ERP is its accounting functionality because it has certain limitations. You can't maintain sub-ledgers or post accrued expenses in sub-ledger forms, so you'll need to post in journals. The pricing is another area that can be improved in NetSuite ERP because the pricing was lower when it wasn't part of Oracle, but after Oracle acquired Netsuite and NetSuite ERP was offered as a cloud service, the price went up."
"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."
"In NetSuite ERP, they should focus on offering better customization options."
"There is a lot of room for improvement. Multiple manufacturing features need to be updated on NetSuite. More functionalities need to be added. I think there are a lot of functionalities coming out for warehouse management systems and manufacturing automation via advanced manufacturing functionalities. I think they need to improve a little more on those aspects and make it easier on the scheduling aspect."
"The pricing is high."
"What needs to be improved is the development in the other areas and other businesses that can use NetSuite."
"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 solution needs to be updated with modern technology as it currently runs on the Java platform, JWE, which is obsolete and requires you to need an API supported browser."
"On-site cloud support is slow and unresponsive."
"Oracle is easy to implement at a new organization like ours, but it might be more challenging for an established organization with more rules and policies in place."
"The user interface is not completely a web interface, it uses a lot of traffic which costs too much for a large number of users scattered throughout the country as they connect from their terminals to do their tasks."
"The initial setup is complex."
"We are moving to the cloud and are looking at the cloud version of it for the cost of ownership and a more modernized integrated platform."
"Administration takes some effort. Administrating the technology stack is not so complex but application aware database administration and following the new methodologies like online patching can be a little complex and time consuming. Oracle should ease the administrators jobs and do some innovation on this administration area as well. Oracle Autonomous Database is Oracle's leading technology these days. Using a similar approach, application stack may become a little more self-managing."
"We have dealt with customer service, and it was awful. For a system this size, it felt like we were merely buying software from them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne has a lot of value for the money. The implementation cost and license cost are quite reasonable compared to other solutions, such as Oracle EBS or SAP."
"The solution's pricing depends on the deal and the number of users."
"The price of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is high. However, every ERP solution has a high price."
"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%."
"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."
"The cost depends on the number of users and the modules required."
"In terms of price, it is not on the high end."
"The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
"NetSuite ERP has a cost per module you want to use, and then you have the license per user."
"The price is less than the cost of daily hours."
"When people buy ERP, it's a competitive situation and the pricing is paramount."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"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'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."
"It is expensive."
"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."
"Both the current projects and future projects should be defined well. Licensing should be done according to current and near future plans."
"Oracle generally gives a lot of discounts."
"E-Business Suite's pricing could be lower."
"There is an annual licensing fee and you are able to add features depending on the scope of the environment."
"I have found the solution overall to be expensive. There are additional fees on top of the standard license."
"Licensing and costing of Oracle EBS is very complex. We recommend to use a system integrator during the negotiation process since Oracle sales representatives sometime do not know the actual minimum requirements and may oversell the necessary licenses through ignorance."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is cheaper than SAP. It is expensive."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. There is an initial cost, and the standard fee is 22% per year."
