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

"Infor LN is a completely integrated product that provides good stability."
"It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects."
"Our clients appreciate the financial part of the solution, which is usually very complex. The Spanish localization is also very good."
"The best thing about Infor LN is that you can use it for inter-company business and for international businesses, especially by mid-sized and big companies."
"We have definitely seen a return on our investment with the product."
"The support is excellent. It is a great company."
"The advantage of Infor LN is the ability to customize some sessions directly to what our business needs."
"Infor LN is compatible with our company size and is cost-effective compared to other ERP solutions like SAP."
"NetSuite ERP has dramatically improved our organization. We went from QuickBooks to NetSuite. You can compare this transition to changing from tennis shoes to a flying car."
"The most valuable feature in NetSuite ERP is the user interface."
"I would say that the solution is highly configurable."
"It's integrated into everything well so you can navigate and use it in a very simple way."
"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."
"We can install the bundles based on our needs."
"Every year, they release a new version."
"NetSuite is significantly more affordable than Oracle EBS and offers a wider range of features than other OEMs."
 

Cons

"The solution’s performance could be improved."
"It's not that intuitive."
"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"Infor LN has customer support in India, but service could be improved. So, basically, they prioritize agreements, and the number of tickets closed within a certain timeframe, not necessarily the quality or resolution of the tickets themselves. They just open and close them, sometimes without even understanding the issue. That's the biggest problem."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"The user interface of Infor LN is not very user-friendly."
"Additionally, the price is challenging in the market."
"The user interface needs improvement."
"NetSuite is good for data management, but it's missing payroll features."
"In NetSuite ERP, they should focus on offering better customization options."
"The communication has been peculiar, and the overall commercial process has been less than satisfactory."
"The solution could be more stable."
"If you do go through an implementor, you need to be careful that they are actual implementors and not just resellers."
"I would like to see improved customization options in NetSuite ERP, possibly through generative modules, to enhance flexibility and efficiency."
"The product should improve its warehouse management solution."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The standard pricing is two thousand per year per user. There are no additional costs."
"Infor LN is a free solution, and everything is included in the package, such as add-ons."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"We have to pay a licensing fee for the solution."
"The licensing costs for this solution are payable annually. Standard licenses are available, but there is also the option to pay to add extra features."
"Compared to other high-end ERP software, Infor LN's cost of ownership is lower. The difference isn't huge, though."
"If you use Infor LN in Infor CloudSuite, there is a need to make an early payment for a license, which is approximately 2,500 EUR."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"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."
"NetSuite ERP has a cost per module you want to use, and then you have the license per user."
"It is expensive."
"I would advise that you first meet with and scope out your project with a NetSuite VAR (Value Added Reseller)."
"The price is less than the cost of daily hours."
"The price of the solution is quite high."
"Regarding costs, it's not just about licensing. Customization recurring costs can become expensive over five to eight years, especially with new releases. However, NetSuite ERP integrates well with third-party applications, so it can still be used for finance while another ERP is used for localized production."
