We performed a comparison between Netsuite ERP and SAP S4HANA based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison of Results: Based on the parameters we compared, Netsuite ERP seems to be the superior solution. Our reviewers find that the questions concerning the simplicity of AP S4HANA’s deployment process, stability, scalability, and the effectiveness of the technical support that it provides make it a riskier investment than Netsuite ERP.
"I am impressed with the product's ease of use. It also helps us reduce the techstack."
"Every year, they release a new version."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It offers reporting flexibilities that were previously unavailable to us."
"The most valuable feature in NetSuite ERP is the user interface."
"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."
"We can install the bundles based on our needs."
"NetSuite ERP is good for a trading company that involves buying and selling."
"It is a very powerful, highly customizable tool."
"The key modules that I find most valuable are material management (MM), financial accounting and controlling (FICO), and human resources (HR)."
"The initial setup is not complex; it's more at a medium level. Not too easy, but with the right knowledge, you can configure it."
"The solution's new UI called Fiori is user friendly."
"SAP S/4HANA is the preferred database because of its scalability, faster accessibility, compatibility, and other well-suited features for large data sets."
"It is the most stable solution provided by SAP and can be used on all levels."
"I find everything I need in S4/HANA."
"This tool helps us to manage business in a faster and smarter way."
"The product should improve its warehouse management solution."
"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."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex."
"As with any system offering large volumes of data, there are limitations on processing large volumes of data in custom ways."
"The manufacturing and planning side could be improved. That part isn't up to date. NetSuite could be easier to integrate in general."
"If they could provide more integration options to connect with different products, that would be ideal."
"The solution could be more stable."
"There is a lot of room for improvement. Multiple manufacturing features need to be updated on NetSuite. More functionalities need to be added. I think there are a lot of functionalities coming out for warehouse management systems and manufacturing automation via advanced manufacturing functionalities. I think they need to improve a little more on those aspects and make it easier on the scheduling aspect."
"There should be an easier way to migrate customers from all versions to SAP S/4HANA."
"We would like to see more DevOps capabilities in the future."
"Their yearly licensing is expensive. Improvements are needed on the user experience level and digital work."
"The product's use of resources could be improved, as it is quite intensive at the moment."
"The initial setup could be better. They can make the process a little easier. The functions that we require will be available in the next release. We specifically need a new model, and I think we have some versions to implement. I already read on the SAP website that some functionalities we are waiting for are available in this new version."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"Small businesses that have a small user base find this solution too expensive."
"Technical support has been declining. They aren't as responsive as they used to be."
