Find out what your peers are saying about NetSuite, Oracle, SAP and others in Cloud ERP."The project management aspect and the timesheets are valuable, especially for ensuring that our milestone billings are automated properly. From a manufacturing perspective, it is more to do with the entire management of the inventory, the overall finance, consolidation of books of accounts, and managing the profit and loss in a more effective manner."
"NetSuite ERP is a user-friendly cloud-based solution that posts into the GL in real time. You can see your profitability at the order level."
"I would say that the solution is highly configurable."
"It's integrated into everything well so you can navigate and use it in a very simple way."
"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."
"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."
"It is a very solid product for finance and procure-to-pay processes."
"We like that we have real-time dashboard views."
"The features are very useful for finance."
"The Material Management and Sales and Distribution modules are great. The Financial Accounting module is also great."
"It's a good ERP system."
"The system can be integrated with other SAP functionalities - such as finance, production, sales, marketing, HR, et cetera, and can also be customized to become a model that's specifically designed for my business. That's the solution's most valuable aspect."
"SAP ERP is one of the most well-integrated solutions with all of the applications in my company, making it one of the most advantageous traits of the product."
"Their tech support is always good."
"It is a stable solution...Our company has experienced a return on investment using the solution."
"If they could provide more integration options to connect with different products, that would be ideal."
"What needs to be improved is the development in the other areas and other businesses that can use NetSuite."
"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."
"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 solution's initial setup process was complex."
"The solution is not user-friendly and it is complex to use."
"The solution could be more stable."
"There are a lot of manual tasks that are used by a lot of people, so it is a very good candidate for RPA."
"The system is very big. It is not exactly user-friendly, due to the fact that it's so massive and complex."
"There should be better support provided to be able to migrate to S/4HANA easier."
"I'm only working on the front end with ERP's user interface, which isn't very easy for end-users. It's an old-school interface, so it's often challenging to find what you need."
"Sometimes the cost is not reasonable, such as in the case of budgeting."
"The integration with others application could be easier. There are many different features that this solution offers which could be easier to implement."
"It's difficult to code; structured language is difficult."
"Their support should be improved. Instead of giving a general solution, their consultants should first try to understand the problem and then resolve the same. They should properly investigate the issue before providing the solution."
