Dietmar Müller - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides integrated solutions for international business operations
Infor CloudSuite offers a comprehensive solution with integrated business intelligence and artificial intelligence capabilities. It does not require hardware or extensive IT expertise, which are standard advantages for cloud solutions. Its integration capabilities with Microsoft features are notable. Additionally, it is a highly scalable and stable solution, useful for large enterprises engaged in international business. It is also easy to maintain compared to other ERP solutions.
Venkat Sudni - PeerSpot reviewer
It's a user-friendly cloud-based solution that startups and small businesses can afford
Setting up NetSuite ERP is pretty straightforward. It's a plug-and-play solution that comes with the default bundle. We uploaded our GLs and charter accounts and added our company code to the architecture. It can be up and running in under a month. It takes at least five people to deploy NetSuite.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From a product perspective, it's more lenient and suitable for using features in finance, such as reconciling our payments, accounts payable, accounts receivable, etc."
"Workflow management and collaboration tools enhance operations and facilitate seamless interaction among departments."
"The solution is particularly effective for ERP. The automation of emails is a valuable feature for me. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. Infor CloudSuite Industrial is better for its development aspect. It allows us to customize and implement changes more efficiently. The initial setup was straightforward. I recommend the solution."
"It is a complete wave management system to increase processing efficiency."
"The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features."
"It offers a facility to get data quickly."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We did some research and chose CloudSuite because it has the flexibility to cover a range of areas. And there were many other factors like traceability, for example, which is crucial for food production."
"The features that have been most effective in improving the financial management perspective include the budgeting, revenue recognition, and accounting perspectives."
"NetSuite is significantly more affordable than Oracle EBS and offers a wider range of features than other OEMs."
"I have found there to be many features, such as manufacturing, accounting, financials, inventory, and purchasing."
"The inventory feature in NetSuite ERP is very valuable to me because it provides clear estimates about the depreciation of details and includes useful mobile modules."
"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."
"We leverage the core platform but are able to add additional functionality for ease of use, tailored processes, and industry related reporting."
"I would say that the solution is highly configurable."
"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."
 

Cons

"The platform's distribution features need enhancement."
"There should be better clarity and agreement on all interfaces and requirements before signing a contract. This would avoid unexpected costs and complications later on."
"Infor needs to work on its documentation. For example, if I need to create a business object deployment from LVN to element, the instructions for this are insufficient. Many specific use cases aren't covered in the manual."
"Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution."
"In Germany, there aren't enough IT specialists for customization and software development, causing projects to take too long."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. For us, it's the pricing aspect. Since we're South African, it's difficult when it's a dollar-based product."
"It takes time to properly learn what the product can do."
"In Germany, there aren't enough IT specialists for customization and software development, causing projects to take too long."
"The communication has been peculiar, and the overall commercial process has been less than satisfactory."
"I would like to see improved customization options in NetSuite ERP, possibly through generative modules, to enhance flexibility and efficiency."
"The areas that this product needs to improve on is the implementation and inventory processes."
"As with any system offering large volumes of data, there are limitations on processing large volumes of data in custom ways."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex."
"The solution is not user-friendly and it is complex to use."
"What needs to be improved is the development in the other areas and other businesses that can use NetSuite."
"The solution could be more stable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm working for a German company, but I'm located in Portugal. In the German market, Infor's price isn't an issue for clients, but Infor is losing market share every year to SAP in Portugal. Portuguese clients find SAP more affordable. Infor needs to work on this."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."
"As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The pricing is not built on a standard model."
"The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
"I feel it is not very cheap, very economical but also not very expensive."
"When people buy ERP, it's a competitive situation and the pricing is paramount."
"It is completely on a subscription basis. We pay yearly and, and you do not have to do anything on a monthly basis. Prices depend on the organization's scale and all those things, but they are doing a good job with the pricing."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"The price is less than the cost of daily hours."
"It's very competitively priced due to it being a subscription model. So, clients are quite happy with the pricing. I would rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"The price of the solution is quite high."
"It is expensive."
"NetSuite ERP has a cost per module you want to use, and then you have the license per user."
