Featured Reviews

Haggit Russo - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective financial management with real-time analytics and a straightforward setup
Reports are good but not perfect. The custom reports could be improved. The initial setup process for reports can be a bit complicated and may require more user-friendly options. My previous company faced difficulty with reporting when it was too complicated to find proper reports. Overall, improving the reporting feature would be beneficial.
Antonio Lira - PeerSpot reviewer
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 would say that the solution is highly configurable."
"NetSuite is significantly more affordable than Oracle EBS and offers a wider range of features than other OEMs."
"It is a very solid product for finance and procure-to-pay processes."
"The most valuable feature in NetSuite ERP is the user interface."
"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 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 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."
"We use it for the projects we do in the telecom industry."
"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."
"The ability to customize it to create custom fields that are reportable, and then to be able to write script behind it to automate other processes that might otherwise be manual is great."
"Inventory management in NetSuite OneWorld is one of the best in the industry, so this feature is what I like most about the solution."
"Lowers costs, produces higher efficiencies, while maintaining a leaner staff and produces advanced financials."
"One of the most valuable features that I appreciate is the ability to consolidate operations across subsidiaries, which makes accounting consolidation great."
"NetSuite is a great solution, fast to bring up and makes everyone's life easier."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more stable."
"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."
"As with any system offering large volumes of data, there are limitations on processing large volumes of data in custom ways."
"It would be great if they offered localization for Central America."
"In terms of the main improvement to NetSuite is the talent itself. It's grown so fast and there are about 25,000 companies running on it, and it's a relatively newer system compared to other competitors. It's growing so fast that the talent base in the partner organization (there's about 200 of them), is pretty thin."
"The manufacturing and planning side could be improved. That part isn't up to date. NetSuite could be easier to integrate in general."
"Improvement-wise, it should be more customizable. Currently, you can't enhance the product yourself in terms of development for any applications unless you've got a very strong and big development team. Those are the skills that are in very short supply."
"The solution is not user-friendly and it is complex to use."
"Currently, NetSuite OneWorld needs to be more mature, especially compared to SAP."
"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."
"Needs time entry for billable employees."
"The Project Management User Interface is lacking."
"The solution could improve by having more integration."
"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."
"If a faster solution is desired, a separate dedicated machine must be hired, which is not what customers necessarily need."
"The performance could be improved as this is a 100% software as a service platform. If a faster solution is desired, a separate dedicated machine must be hired, which is not what customers necessarily need."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"When people buy ERP, it's a competitive situation and the pricing is paramount."
"It is expensive."
"NetSuite ERP has a cost per module you want to use, and then you have the license per user."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"​Good solution for the price, but hire a skilled project manager to handle the technical setup.​"
"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."
"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"
"Do not try to go it alone. Get a consultant who has been there and listens."
"NetSuite offers a great many advantages, including a cost of about third of the traditional pharma manufacturing ERP packages."
"NetSuite OneWorld is much less expensive for a very small to medium-sized business. Still, when you grow into an enterprise-level company, the price increases, but as long as you plan and know that going in, it's manageable."
"Measure twice, cut once."
