Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that JD Edwards World is perfect for my use cases, but what I like best about it is its navigation."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards World is its ease of use and unique functions."
"We've found the initial setup to be easy."
"The ease of use is consistently there."
"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
"The most valuable feature for me is the traceability customization, which allows me to track the movement and history of artifacts in our ecosystem."
"Collecting data in standard formats for processing in a data warehouse."
"I think JDE ERP is very flexible and very convenient for the users. I think EnterpriseOne is more convenient for users to do the inquiry and do the data entry. The UI is better than JDE World. For JDE products, including the World version, is very flexible. It's a good product for clients."
"Every year, they release a new version."
"It offers reporting flexibilities that were previously unavailable to us."
"NetSuite ERP is good for a trading company that involves buying and selling."
"We can install the bundles based on our needs."
"The user interface is very good."
"I would say that the solution is highly configurable."
"It's integrated into everything well so you can navigate and use it in a very simple way."
"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."
 

Cons

"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
"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."
"Improvements are needed in transitioning JD Edwards World to a more stable and reliable cloud product, particularly in terms of GDPR and data privacy compliance."
"There are a lot of new technologies coming out and JD Edwards World could improve by having better integration with other databases. The integration with the databases and applications should be in real-time, such as with Oracle."
"I have more than 18 years of JDE experience in JDE EnterpriseOne and World versions. I think JDE is good but compared to SAP and Oracle EPS, we can see which area needs to have some improvement for JDE."
"It would be great if they offered localization for Central America."
"As with any system offering large volumes of data, there are limitations on processing large volumes of data in custom ways."
"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."
"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."
"Additionally, adding advanced modules such as AI components or customer service modules could help the system become more scalable."
"Many features such as local taxation and fund management are not there yet."
"The product should improve its warehouse management solution."
"The solution is not user-friendly and it is complex to use."
 

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 is less than the cost of daily hours."
"The price of the solution is quite high."
"NetSuite ERP has a cost per module you want to use, and then you have the license per user."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would advise that you first meet with and scope out your project with a NetSuite VAR (Value Added Reseller)."
