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.
Muhammad Shehzad - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides easy navigation to individual transaction levels and good stability
The warehouse management system requires further improvement. Right now, there is no built-in application for using barcodes or QR codes by the warehouse or operational teams. Customers often rely on third-party add-ons for such features. There should be a mobile-based handheld application, especially for the warehouse team or the operational team, to use barcode-based or QR-based scanning. In additional features, it would be great if the mobile application supported barcode and QR code usage. If this feature is available, it would be very useful.

Quotes from Members

"The features that have been most effective in improving the financial management perspective include the budgeting, revenue recognition, and accounting perspectives."
"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."
"I would say that the solution is highly configurable."
"NetSuite ERP is good for a trading company that involves buying and selling."
"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 production and planning processes of the solution are very good."
"The most valuable features of SAP Business One on AWS are the CRM and the sales module."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is its reporting capability."

"The way we can make changes in new fields, or make new rules with our IT department, has been very useful."
"The initial setup is manageable."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like to see improved customization options in NetSuite ERP, possibly through generative modules, to enhance flexibility and efficiency."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex."
"The communication has been peculiar, and the overall commercial process has been less than satisfactory."
"NetSuite is good for data management, but it's missing payroll features."
"The pricing is high."
"If they could provide more integration options to connect with different products, that would be ideal."
"Many features such as local taxation and fund management are not there yet."
"Some of the features around the payroll and payroll taxes and management of that are lacking. We had to outsource some of that because we found that the functionality isn't there."

"There is room for improvement in the manufacturing and logistics areas of SAP Business One on AWS."
"The warehouse management system requires further improvement."
"SAP Business One on AWS could improve by adding more functionality to the web client."
"The reporting can be improved. Also, it is an expensive solution, and you need consultants for new interfaces as it's very rigid otherwise."

"Not a ten because it's not software for a structured company or something very big. That is my impression."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"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."
"I would advise that you first meet with and scope out your project with a NetSuite VAR (Value Added Reseller)."
"The price of the solution is quite high."
"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."
"When people buy ERP, it's a competitive situation and the pricing is paramount."
"Licenses are available on a monthly or yearly basis, and it costs about $1,200 per license, per user."
"The tool's cost is reasonable."
"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)."
"The price of SAP Business One on AWS could be lower, it is expensive."
"We have an annual cost for licensing and storage in AWS."
"The product's license is expensive. It could be cheaper."
"The product is moderately priced."
"Pricing for me, it's not very interesting. I think it's priced at a normal level."
