Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 3, 2024

Microsoft Dynamics SL and NetSuite OneWorld are competing in the enterprise resource planning market, each aimed at optimizing business processes. NetSuite OneWorld is a more comprehensive solution due to superior features, justifying its price and implementation effort.

Features: Microsoft Dynamics SL specializes in project accounting, financial management tools, and industry-specific needs for small to medium-sized businesses. NetSuite OneWorld offers global financial functionality with multi-currency, tax management, and advanced reporting, suited for multinational corporations.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Microsoft Dynamics SL usually requires more on-premises setup with longer deployment times, benefiting from strong local partner support. NetSuite OneWorld, being cloud-based, ensures faster, flexible deployment with efficient remote customer service, ideal for organizations needing scalability and remote support.

Pricing and ROI: Microsoft Dynamics SL generally has a lower initial setup cost due to its traditional licensing model with gradual ROI through project-specific efficiencies.

Featured Reviews

Cirvesh-Daga - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplify and streamline complex business processes, and good integration capabilities but lacks predictive capabilities
An area of improvement could be around automation and predictability. However, I'm sure Microsoft is already thinking about incorporating AI co-pilot features, which should be coming soon. The end person who will be looking at the report is the CFO, and CFO isn't just interested in static reports but in predictive information. Ideally, SL could use data from ERP, and CRM to provide some level of prediction. CoPilot is plugged into Dynamics, it'll be a plus and even a huge selling point over other solutions that are there in the market because now we have a component of AI. We can also give you some level of prediction. Even if it starts with a 15% confidence level, a CFO will take that because it still allows them to increase their bets to a certain extent. So, that's something that I I will look forward to whenever Microsoft introduces it.

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

"If I put myself in the customer's shoes, it's easier to use. Reporting would be a very valuable feature."
"The solution has provided a good return on investment by ensuring our financial and operational information is accurate and timely."
"It's pretty easy to set up."
"The solution has helped us save money by reducing the number of people needed for delivery, finance, and customer service. We now better understand our stock and purchases, and our sales team can access information without constantly communicating with delivery."
"NetSuite is a great solution, fast to bring up and makes everyone's life easier."
"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."
"Embedded business intelligence is a valuable feature. There is also no need to wait for extract functions, and each transaction is reflected in the system dashboards in real time."
"The executive dashboards have satisfied the founders and leadership with up to the minute information. This allows them to make high level decisions."
"I rate the OneWorld overall solution as a ten out of ten."
"Allows us to use it the way we need to instead of changing our needs and processes to fit the product."
"Inventory management in NetSuite OneWorld is one of the best in the industry, so this feature is what I like most about the solution."
More NetSuite OneWorld pros
 

Cons

"The product's primary improvement area would be its batch processing system."
"An area of improvement could be around automation and predictability."
"The licensing of the solution should be adjusted. The policies aren't ideal. They should make it easier to understand. Right now, it's too confusing."
"Needs time entry for billable employees."
"In NetSuite OneWorld, what needs improvement is the production planning functionality."
"Currently, NetSuite OneWorld needs to be more mature, especially compared to SAP."
"I hope NetSuite OneWorld introduces features like support for different pricing models, including packaging options, and improved production planning tools in the future."
"NetSuite OneWorld, the consolidation feature has been incredibly valuable. However, I cannot speak to the full range of features and functionalities offered by OneWorld as I am not familiar with all of them. I have utilized OneWorld primarily in the biotech industry, with a focus on operating expenses and financial reporting, such as capital contributions and foreign currency adjustments. I am confident, however, that OneWorld offers a robust module for reporting and consolidating revenue, though I have not had the opportunity to directly utilize this aspect of the software."
"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."
"I don’t like the SaaS models. Of course, they make the tool powerful enough to run a billion-dollar business. The tool is cheaper than SAP or Core."
"Project collaboration through Dashboard Business Management and Relations Management is easy to perform, but it does need to be worked on as it is difficult for customers, suppliers, and internal users to use."
More NetSuite OneWorld cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs were reasonable."
"If the value proposition is clear for the customer, they won't see it as an expensive solution. A solution becomes expensive when it doesn't do what it promises."
"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."
"Do not try to go it alone. Get a consultant who has been there and listens."
"​Good solution for the price, but hire a skilled project manager to handle the technical setup.​"
"I would rate the pricing of the solution somewhere around six or seven out of ten. I don’t like the SaaS models. Of course, they make the tool powerful enough to run a billion-dollar business. The tool is cheaper than SAP or Cor"
"NetSuite offers a great many advantages, including a cost of about third of the traditional pharma manufacturing ERP packages."
"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 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."
