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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I am impressed with the product's ease of use. It also helps us reduce the techstack."
"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 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 significantly more affordable than Oracle EBS and offers a wider range of features than other OEMs."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is a very solid product for finance and procure-to-pay processes."
"The most valuable feature is that it works according to how the Internet works."
"The most valuable feature in NetSuite ERP is the user interface."
"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."
"The solution has helped us save money by reducing the number of people needed for delivery, finance, and customer service. We now better understand our stock and purchases, and our sales team can access information without constantly communicating with delivery."
"Inventory management in NetSuite OneWorld is one of the best in the industry, so this feature is what I like most about the solution."
"NetSuite OneWorld is a single instance that allows you to do different business functions, such as reporting, order-to-cash, design-build, and procure-to-pay. This feature is what's most valuable in the solution."
"Utilizes best practices that are simple to implement."
"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."
 

Cons

"What needs to be improved is the development in the other areas and other businesses that can use NetSuite."
"The communication has been peculiar, and the overall commercial process has been less than satisfactory."
"The solution could be more stable."
"The solution is not user-friendly and it is complex to use."
"Additionally, adding advanced modules such as AI components or customer service modules could help the system become more scalable."
"The product should improve its warehouse management solution."
"Many features such as local taxation and fund management are not there yet."
"An area for improvement in NetSuite ERP is its accounting functionality because it has certain limitations. You can't maintain sub-ledgers or post accrued expenses in sub-ledger forms, so you'll need to post in journals. The pricing is another area that can be improved in NetSuite ERP because the pricing was lower when it wasn't part of Oracle, but after Oracle acquired Netsuite and NetSuite ERP was offered as a cloud service, the price went up."
"The Project Management User Interface is lacking."
"Project collaboration through Dashboard Business Management and Relations Management is easy to perform, but it does need to be worked on as it is difficult for customers, suppliers, and internal users to use."
"NetSuite OneWorld, the consolidation feature has been incredibly valuable. However, I cannot speak to the full range of features and functionalities offered by OneWorld as I am not familiar with all of them. I have utilized OneWorld primarily in the biotech industry, with a focus on operating expenses and financial reporting, such as capital contributions and foreign currency adjustments. I am confident, however, that OneWorld offers a robust module for reporting and consolidating revenue, though I have not had the opportunity to directly utilize this aspect of the software."
"In NetSuite OneWorld, what needs improvement is the production planning functionality."
"If a faster solution is desired, a separate dedicated machine must be hired, which is not what customers necessarily need."
"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."
"Currently, NetSuite OneWorld needs to be more mature, especially compared to SAP."
"There is not a 20 year pedigree of pharma experience in the NetSuite channel. While there are many of these CMO Pharma companies rapidly moving to NetSuite, there are few consultants with true pharma experience. Those who have experience are stretched pretty thin."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would advise that you first meet with and scope out your project with a NetSuite VAR (Value Added Reseller)."
"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."
"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."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"The price of the solution is quite high."
"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."
"The price is less than the cost of daily hours."
"NetSuite OneWorld has fair pricing. It was not very expensive, so price-wise, I'm rating it as five out of ten."
"​Good solution for the price, but hire a skilled project manager to handle the technical setup.​"
"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."
"Measure twice, cut once."
"Do not try to go it alone. Get a consultant who has been there and listens."
"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"
"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."
"NetSuite OneWorld tends to be pricey. The decision to allocate a budget for this solution ultimately rests with the management and negotiating team, and I am not typically included in these discussions. Nonetheless, the information I've received leads me to believe that it is a costly platform. There are not any additional costs that I am aware of."
