"I like the ease of setup and customization of forms.""It is a very solid product for finance and procure-to-pay processes.""The most valuable aspect of NetSuite ERP is the multi-subsidiary portion, it is the strongest across all the other ERPs. If you want to do consolidations, it works a lot better than other tools.""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 leverage the core platform but are able to add additional functionality for ease of use, tailored processes, and industry related reporting.""It's integrated into everything well so you can navigate and use it in a very simple way.""I have found there to be many features, such as manufacturing, accounting, financials, inventory, and purchasing.""NetSuite ERP is good for a trading company that involves buying and selling."

Cons
"It lacks in finance and administration, especially related to Italian accounting.""It's based on AS/400 or Power i, a robust technology and platform. However, it is harder to manage admin most of the time.""The connectors, performance, and knowledgebase availability can be improved.""Infor's support side is not that good, and they seem to be focusing on other products above LX."

More Infor LX Cons →

"In NetSuite ERP, they should focus on offering better customization options.""The manufacturing and planning side could be improved. That part isn't up to date. NetSuite could be easier to integrate in general.""NetSuite is good for data management, but it's missing payroll features.""The product should improve its warehouse management solution.""Additionally, adding advanced modules such as AI components or customer service modules could help the system become more scalable.""As with any system offering large volumes of data, there are limitations on processing large volumes of data in custom ways.""What needs to be improved is the development in the other areas and other businesses that can use NetSuite.""The pricing is high."

  • "I would advise that you first meet with and scope out your project with a NetSuite VAR (Value Added Reseller)."
  • "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 of the solution is quite high."
  • "NetSuite ERP has a cost per module you want to use, and then you have the license per user."
  • "Pricing for NetSuite ERP is okay, but it could be better. The licensing model for NetSuite ERP is based on the number of modules and users. The standard license covers up to twenty-five users. If you have more than twenty-five users, you'll have to buy the premium license, which would double the price. For one module with five user licenses, the cost is between $40,000 to $50,000."
  • "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."
