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

"Allows us to use it the way we need to instead of changing our needs and processes to fit the product."
"The solution is user-friendly and flexible."
"I rate the OneWorld overall solution as a ten out of ten."
"NetSuite is a great solution, fast to bring up and makes everyone's life easier."
"Utilizes best practices that are simple to implement."
"The executive dashboards have satisfied the founders and leadership with up to the minute information. This allows them to make high level decisions."
"The solution is scalable."
"Inventory management in NetSuite OneWorld is one of the best in the industry, so this feature is what I like most about the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the integration between accounts receivable, accounts payable, general ledger, and budgeting."
"The interface is easy to use."
"It is a very consistent product on IBM. There is also a lot of knowledge data."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is easy to use, and we have enough resources out in the market."
"E-Business Suite's best features are BAT functionality, flexibility, configurability, and integration with Oracle Database."
"The most valuable features of Oracle E-Business Suite are all the 15 to 20 modules. We use them on a day-to-day basis."
"It's quite secure and fast, and we get an end-to-end solution."
"Oracle EBS provides the customer with faster financial closing because of its accurate calculations."
 

Cons

"In NetSuite OneWorld, what needs improvement is the production planning functionality."
"If you were to use standard costs, it doesn't handle standard costs well."
"Some entities are not available for multiple subsidiaries, which requires duplication."
"I hope NetSuite OneWorld introduces features like support for different pricing models, including packaging options, and improved production planning tools in the future."
"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."
"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 Project Management User Interface is lacking."
"Needs time entry for billable employees."
"We expect Oracle to go into continuous innovation mode and provide simplified integration solutions."
"Earlier when our organization was small they chose Oracle because in the telecommunication industry everybody was using Oracle. Our company has grown to a size where our particularly billing phase has created some challenges and now we are looking at alternate solutions. There is not a billing engine or module that you can buy from Oracle that can be added to this EBS solution to fix our problem. They should add a billing module or engine to the solution."
"They don't have built-in bank integrations, which would be very helpful."
"It is still a little outdated as far as what we consider a twenty-first century software. You're still using Oracle forms, that sort of thing."
"Standard reporting needs to be changed. Many of the standard reports look the same as they did in version 10.7, 20 years ago."
"Areas for improvement would be that sometimes it's a bit rigid with customization and doesn't always facilitate region-specific requirements."
"The system has bugs, is not user friendly, and requires too much customization."
"The initial setup was a little complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​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."
"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."
"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 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."
"Measure twice, cut once."
"NetSuite offers a great many advantages, including a cost of about third of the traditional pharma manufacturing ERP packages."
"NetSuite OneWorld has fair pricing. It was not very expensive, so price-wise, I'm rating it as five out of ten."
"Compared to other vendors like SAP or Microsoft, the prices for Oracle are reasonable, but they could always be lower."
"I have found the solution overall to be expensive. There are additional fees on top of the standard license."
"Find a best Oracle partner and get a better discount."
"It's quite expensive, even though they gave us a discount."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is cheaper than SAP. It is expensive."
"Oracle's pricing is on the higher end."
"Oracle prices are better in Vietnam and more flexible. If we need to customize something in Oracle, it's very flexible and easy to customize."
"Oracle's pricing is lower than that of its competitors."
