Integration tools streamline financial operations and enhance data management
The most beneficial feature in Workato is its accessibility. The interface is easily understandable even for a common user, unlike the NetSuite ERP direct website which requires more technical knowledge. In Workato, NetSuite ERP provides options for new employee records, invoice reports, and batch files processing. The batch processing capability allows handling up to 10,000 records simultaneously, which reduces tasks and processing time significantly. Regarding scalability, NetSuite ERP offers excellent options and reduces manual interventions through automation. In the past three months, I have observed improvements in their options and data storage capabilities, showing enhanced scalability compared to previous versions.

Solution for quoting customers, but could be faster
We use this solution internally mostly for quoting for customers. There are over 10,000 employees in my organization.  There are other modules that we use to do everything, like SteelBrick, but the UI is clunky. It could be the way the solution was implemented. The solution is a little bit slow…

Zuora Developer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Streamlines subscription billing and workflows but has needed clearer docs and lower certification costs
I do not focus on Zuora revenue recognition features. Zuora's documentation from the knowledge center is somewhat complicated and should be simplified for beginner-level users who are ready to learn. Sandbox features and workflow settings need enhancement. Zuora's integration can be tricky. With hands-on experience, understanding where features are located makes the process automatic. Without hands-on experience, integration takes considerable time. Although the integration is smooth, it depends heavily on hands-on experience. Providing exact pricing figures for Zuora is challenging because it uses a tiered structure with standard plans. Zuora should improve access to premium support and add-on modules with standard and professional plans by creating easier, balanced feature models. I typically participate in Zuora's initial setup and deployment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The system notes give me information of who changed what."
"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."
"I really like the CRM module of NetSuite that gives a 360-degree customer view."
"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."
"First of all, it's really easy to use."
"We use it for the projects we do in the telecom industry."
"It's perfect for a company that is growing, that's still on the border of small to midsize, and it fits perfectly from a cost and functionality perspective of them trying to get to standard practices that allows them to grow efficiently."
"You should go for it. You won't regret it! This is the best solution."
"The stability is pretty solid."
"The stability is pretty solid."
"The tool's most valuable aspect is its evolution. When I first worked on it, it was a simple platform that handled accounts and basic invoicing. Over the years, I've seen many changes that have enabled it to support complex projects. The help desk now provides solutions for these projects, which wasn't initially possible. The most important thing about Zuora is its ability to handle complexity through workflows, essentially automating the invoicing process."
"These features are valuable because it has allowed the billing functionality to be fully operationalized. This allows us to refocus our energy on optimizing our recurring revenue streams outside of just basic billing.​"
"Zuora is perfect for managing customer accounts, payments, and billing, as everything happens on time and their customer support is good, so I would definitely recommend Zuora."
"What I like best about the tool is it's user-friendly, especially when checking accounts and subscriptions. You can see all the details, like consumer-created subscriptions, invoice details, and the ability to create and remove rate plans."
"Zuora's payment platform includes several integrated components that ensure security, reliability, and efficiency with transactions."
"We have so many options for reporting, whether you want structured data or automation."
"I am happy with the support team."
"I like that the UI is great and easily explainable."
 

Cons

"The pricing is high. For small companies, it is not very competitive."
"I have faced OPI issues during peak times when pushing and pulling data becomes very slow due to API limitations."
"The solution is not good in a production company."
"It would be great if they offered localization for Central America."
"As with any system offering large volumes of data, there are limitations on processing large volumes of data in custom ways."
"I would like to see improved customization options in NetSuite ERP, possibly through generative modules, to enhance flexibility and efficiency."
"Additionally, adding advanced modules such as AI components or customer service modules could help the system become more scalable."
"The custom reports could be improved."
"The solution is a little bit slow sometimes."
"The solution is a little bit slow sometimes."
"I would build dynamic retry functionalities directly into the core product and enhance their integrations with all payment gateways."
"There are a few areas for improvement. Some APIs aren't working in amendment-based subscriptions."
"Zuora's documentation from the knowledge center is somewhat complicated and should be simplified for beginner-level users who are ready to learn."
"There have been some bugs which Zuora support has been unable to fix until now."
"​It would benefit from more features designed to recoup revenue in B2C scenarios."
"I believe the pricing is quite high for some companies using Zuora."
"While fetching the data, I had faced some issues."
"The data structure within Zuora is a bit rigid. It doesn't support many things, like subqueries or correlation queries and all that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"NetSuite ERP has a cost per module you want to use, and then you have the license per user."
"It is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The price is less than the cost of daily hours."
"The price of the solution is quite high."
"I would advise that you first meet with and scope out your project with a NetSuite VAR (Value Added Reseller)."
Information not available
"The tiered pricing model is costly."
"The solution is worth the price."
"Explore multiple options for implementation."
"Negotiate aggressively. Continue to push on cost until you feel comfortable.​"
