Featured Reviews

Ramandeep Walia - PeerSpot reviewer
A good legacy solution that is reliable and has good support
We haven't done any implementation in the last ten years. That said, we did upgrade it in 2017-16 to the latest version and it was quite okay. It was complex yet not too much. I'd rate it three and a half out of five in terms of ease of setup.
Antonio Lira - PeerSpot reviewer
Seamless subsidiary operation visibility with efficient accounting consolidation
One of the most valuable features that I appreciate is the ability to consolidate operations across subsidiaries, which makes accounting consolidation great. The multicurrency reevaluation offered by OneWorld enables consolidation from different branches, such as country or continent levels, making it a powerful feature. Additionally, there is visibility into all operations within the subsidiaries, facilitating awareness of sales, purchases, and manufacturing activities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the traceability customization, which allows me to track the movement and history of artifacts in our ecosystem."
"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
"It has worked fine for many years."
"Menu creation is easier now."
"In my use cases, JD Edwards World offers flexibility in listing capabilities."
"Collecting data in standard formats for processing in a data warehouse."
"The ease of use is consistently there."
"I like that JD Edwards World is perfect for my use cases, but what I like best about it is its navigation."
"Allows us to use it the way we need to instead of changing our needs and processes to fit the product."
"NetSuite is a great solution, fast to bring up and makes everyone's life easier."
"The executive dashboards have satisfied the founders and leadership with up to the minute information. This allows them to make high level decisions."
"We've set up Jira integration and used robotic process automation (RPA) to streamline various processes, like procurement and invoicing. Some processes still require manual approval, like supplier invoices, but we're simplifying those too. We're also exploring integrating with other tools like Power BI for better data analytics and reporting. Currently, our automation focuses on general tasks, not document understanding or anything complex like that."
"The solution is user-friendly and flexible."
"The ability to customize it to create custom fields that are reportable, and then to be able to write script behind it to automate other processes that might otherwise be manual is great."
"I rate the OneWorld overall solution as a ten out of ten."
"Utilizes best practices that are simple to implement."
 

Cons

"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."
"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."
"The technical support from Oracle needs a lot of improvement. Both the response time and quality of support require enhancement."
"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."
"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."
"The integration technology could be stronger at this point."
"The flexibility and ability to integrate external applications are increasingly vital."
"I hope NetSuite OneWorld introduces features like support for different pricing models, including packaging options, and improved production planning tools in the future."
"There is not a 20 year pedigree of pharma experience in the NetSuite channel. While there are many of these CMO Pharma companies rapidly moving to NetSuite, there are few consultants with true pharma experience. Those who have experience are stretched pretty thin."
"If a faster solution is desired, a separate dedicated machine must be hired, which is not what customers necessarily need."
"Currently, NetSuite OneWorld needs to be more mature, especially compared to SAP."
"Certain analytics features are missing that I've come to expect from other systems. Additionally, there are occasional issues with data accuracy that need to be addressed. Overall, deeper analytics capabilities would greatly improve the tool's usefulness for me."
"Needs time entry for billable employees."
"In NetSuite OneWorld, what needs improvement is the production planning functionality."
"The Project Management User Interface is lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of JD Edwards World is reasonable. Since it is a legacy solution the price has been reduced."
"You have to pay for a license, and the license cost is calculated based on the number of users you have."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable."
"Do not try to go it alone. Get a consultant who has been there and listens."
"NetSuite OneWorld has fair pricing. It was not very expensive, so price-wise, I'm rating it as five out of ten."
"Measure twice, cut once."
"NetSuite OneWorld is much less expensive for a very small to medium-sized business. Still, when you grow into an enterprise-level company, the price increases, but as long as you plan and know that going in, it's manageable."
"NetSuite offers a great many advantages, including a cost of about third of the traditional pharma manufacturing ERP packages."
"​Good solution for the price, but hire a skilled project manager to handle the technical setup.​"
"Consider the roles of the employees who will use NetSuite and identify any groups who will only utilize the employee center. These licenses are cheaper and will reduce costs significantly."
"NetSuite OneWorld tends to be pricey. The decision to allocate a budget for this solution ultimately rests with the management and negotiating team, and I am not typically included in these discussions. Nonetheless, the information I've received leads me to believe that it is a costly platform. There are not any additional costs that I am aware of."
