"Technical support has been good."
"The best thing is that it's very intuitive and user-friendly. You don't need coding skills to manipulate the platform."
"It's real-time connected planning, so the calculations are pretty much seamless as far as your model is connected."
"This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"It's highly flexible. If you've got a complex environment with complex calculations, you can build that out. So that's a really good positive."
"You don't need to have a programming language to use Anaplan."
"It offers reporting flexibilities that were previously unavailable to us."
"We use it for the projects we do in the telecom industry."
"NetSuite is a better value than some competing solutions. The fee structure is simpler, and other ERP solutions don't offer as many options for configuration."
"The project management aspect and the timesheets are valuable, especially for ensuring that our milestone billings are automated properly. From a manufacturing perspective, it is more to do with the entire management of the inventory, the overall finance, consolidation of books of accounts, and managing the profit and loss in a more effective manner."
"As NetSuite ERP is a cloud product, a valuable feature I found in it is the very friendly user interface. You can set up shortcuts within the applications for frequently used reports or navigation. You can also customize dashboards in NetSuite ERP. Another feature I found valuable in the solution is good reporting. It has many industry-standard reports focused on finance and inventory. I also like the seamless switching between production and test environments and that you can customize the environments within NetSuite ERP. For example, you can put banners on your test and production environments to differentiate or segregate the logins to prevent mistakes. The solution is pretty easy to use and navigate, and it's more of a lightweight software. I like that it's a cloud product, so work is done on the front end rather than the back end. There's also a community for NetSuite ERP where you can raise your queries and issues. You'll find other people sharing experiences about common issues so you can get quick fixes from the community."
"The most valuable feature in NetSuite ERP is the user interface."
"I have found there to be many features, such as manufacturing, accounting, financials, inventory, and purchasing."
"It is a very solid product for finance and procure-to-pay processes."
"The negative is that the higher the flexibility, the higher is the complexity. That can act against you as a negative because it does require a model builder or a coder/developer."
"There are workspace issues, like the limitation on model sizes."
"The tool needs to work on its integration with MS Excel and MS Word. The tool does not allow data analysis in spreadsheets which is possible on other platforms. I want the solution to be more collaborative to facilitate decision-making in organizations."
"Space and integration are a problem."
"When there is a lot of data, it sometimes takes long to load."
"Automation needs to be built into this solution."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"NetSuite ERP's UI could be improved. There are some features that are very complex that do not have to be. There are some aspects of the solution that could be simplified and this can include the documentation. Since it's a very complex tool, you expect to have great detailed documentation to help you implement it."
"The solution could be more stable."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex."
"If they could provide more integration options to connect with different products, that would be ideal."
"Some of the features around the payroll and payroll taxes and management of that are lacking. We had to outsource some of that because we found that the functionality isn't there."
"What needs to be improved is the development in the other areas and other businesses that can use NetSuite."
"Additionally, adding advanced modules such as AI components or customer service modules could help the system become more scalable."
"The pricing is high."
