Featured Reviews

Suryansh Kaushal - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved access to transactional data and supported return on investment
Some clients in my past complained about the accounting setup, as it requires people who already have knowledge about NetSuite ERP. They don't appreciate having to pay for consultants or specialists to work with it. It's not easier for them to understand. But every other feature that NetSuite ERP has is pretty decent. They're even introducing new features such as Bill Capture which was introduced last year. My sales and warehouse managers don't find the demand planning feature effective. They say it's quite buggy.
Joseph Daniel - PeerSpot reviewer
Scalable and flexible platform with significant challenges related to complexity, cost management, and the need for skilled personnel
There are a couple of significant challenges we're currently facing. First, our production team can't make use of the production planning features, as they require a Professional license and we only have access to the Logistics license, which is limiting our capabilities. The majority of the reports we generate are intended for managerial purposes. While most reports are straightforward to comprehend, there are a few exceptions that can be quite complex. It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines. This is crucial for monitoring all activities within our manufacturing processes, from software operations to the machinery used.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We leverage the core platform but are able to add additional functionality for ease of use, tailored processes, and industry related reporting."
"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."
"No valuable quote could be determined from the review content."
"The user interface is very good."
"I am impressed with the product's ease of use. It also helps us reduce the techstack."
"I would say that the solution is highly configurable."
"It is a very solid product for finance and procure-to-pay processes."
"NetSuite ERP is good for a trading company that involves buying and selling."
"It is well-established and caters to our user base efficiently."
"With the tool, there is no shutdown or breakdown time my company experiences."
"The initial setup is manageable."
"It is very flexible...It is a stable solution."
"As a business technology platform, it is a flexible platform. It enables the customer to do faster integrations, and the solution's functioning requires low cost."
"The initial setup of the product seems to be good."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The production and planning processes of the solution are very good."
 

Cons

"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 pricing is high."
"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 communication has been peculiar, and the overall commercial process has been less than satisfactory."
"As with any system offering large volumes of data, there are limitations on processing large volumes of data in custom ways."
"If you do go through an implementor, you need to be careful that they are actual implementors and not just resellers."
"The main implementation challenge is finding experienced consultants to translate customer needs into NetSuite ERP's standard functionality. The second challenge is getting enough time from customers for proper implementation."
"The deployment process could be improved because some projects or clients have internal addons in the database, and these components can be complex for deployment."
"The interface needs to be improved. It needs to be more user-friendly."
"There is some room for improvement with the scalability and the pricing of the product."
"SAP Business One on AWS could improve by adding more functionality to the web client."
"The web client is an area with shortcomings, which SAP is presently working on, and needs to improve."
"The browser access needs to improve, as everybody in the industry knows how limited it is."
"The tool's cost is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I feel that these vendors must be well trained so that they can deploy this solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"When people buy ERP, it's a competitive situation and the pricing is paramount."
"We have an annual cost for licensing and storage in AWS."
"Pricing for me, it's not very interesting. I think it's priced at a normal level."
"The price of the limited version is about 70,000 Pesos ($2,900 USD), and the professional version is about double at 140,000 Pesos ($5,800 USD)."
"On average, the licensing costs can be around 50,000 USD. Pricing of the product has certain variables, including the number of licenses and the implementation costs."
"Though I cannot specifically state whether SAP Business One on AWS is a cheap or expensive product, I can surely say that it is a manageable tool from a cost perspective."
"The tool has better pricing models than S/4 HANA."
"The tool's cost is reasonable."
"The price of SAP Business One on AWS is reasonable for what we use it for."
