Featured Reviews

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.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Utilizes best practices that are simple to implement."
"Lowers costs, produces higher efficiencies, while maintaining a leaner staff and produces advanced financials."
"The executive dashboards have satisfied the founders and leadership with up to the minute information. This allows them to make high level decisions."
"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."
"NetSuite OneWorld is a single instance that allows you to do different business functions, such as reporting, order-to-cash, design-build, and procure-to-pay. This feature is what's most valuable in the solution."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution."
"EBS has lots of application families and lots of features. It is modular in deployment and flexible enough to let the customer increase the built-in capabilities and enable new applications when needed. These are very important things at hand in case there will be a need to expand the product capabilities and/or implement new projects."
"You can group them into the BIs, which is business intelligence. You get your own key performance indicators and build your own reports or you could have your own screens, and it changes in real time."
"It's a scalable product."
"Financial reconciliation and reporting."
"Before, we used a lot of manpower in our operations, in the backend, but this is a service. We have eliminated some unnecessary processes."
"It's a tightly integrated solution."
"It can easily be developed into an application."
 

Cons

"The Project Management User Interface is lacking."
"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."
"The solution could improve by having more integration."
"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."
"If a faster solution is desired, a separate dedicated machine must be hired, which is not what customers necessarily need."
"In NetSuite OneWorld, what needs improvement is the production planning functionality."
"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."
"If you were to use standard costs, it doesn't handle standard costs well."
"E-Business Suite's user experience and interface could be improved."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Additional improvements could include better healthcare management functionalities, such as specialized modules for OPD and IPD for patients."
"The on-premises version of this solution can be difficult to expand, compared to its cloud version. The on-premises version is also more limited, versus the cloud version that has a lot of improvements. Maintaining this solution is also too costly."
"One issue with the product is because it build on a lot of older technologies, there is a substantial technical debt in the system."
"Movement to the cloud should be supported. Product support still needs to be improved."
"In Oracle E-Business Suite, there should be a proper document flow for each transaction."
"The simplicity of the user experience needs to be improved tremendously."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"NetSuite offers a great many advantages, including a cost of about third of the traditional pharma manufacturing ERP packages."
"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 has fair pricing. It was not very expensive, so price-wise, I'm rating it as five out of ten."
"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."
"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"
"​Good solution for the price, but hire a skilled project manager to handle the technical setup.​"
"The tool is an expensive cloud application. It charges per license. We pay around 50 euros per month for a full user, and for 70 users, we pay around 120,000 euros per year. Maintenance and support are included in the full cloud license."
"Measure twice, cut once."
"Considering the market at the moment, Oracle needs to adjust the pricing of this solution."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is cheaper than SAP. It is expensive."
"The pricing of Oracle E-Business Suite is too high."
"Fees for support and licensing should be reduced."
"It's quite expensive, even though they gave us a discount."
"Oracle's pricing is lower than that of its competitors."
"We pay about $300 a year in order to license the solution."
