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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is an affordable ERP system and rich in functionality, providing good control of processes."
"The three most crucial pieces are the financial modules, the banking module, and the management module."
"The tool's usability is straightforward."
"I have found the solution has many valuable features such as a user-friendly mobile platform, notification settings, and the ability to do many customizations."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"The functionality of these three features provides my team and me the ability to customize NetSuite for the craft beverage industry."
"I like the ease of setup and customization of forms."
"I have found there to be many features, such as manufacturing, accounting, financials, inventory, and purchasing."
"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."
"First of all, it's really easy to use."
"The product is very flexible and can adjust to the customer's needs."
 

Cons

"The build-in dashboard and reporting customization should be improved."
"The system has enough controls, but still there is scope for improvement."
"The reporting Module should be improved and a drag and drop functionality should be added."
"Improvements could be made regarding user-friendliness and transitioning fully to a web version. Features like forex reconciliation and a cash flow planning module could enhance the solution."
"The user interface could be improved. The latest technology can be used to improve the list view of records and load pages faster on a browser."
"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."
"Many features such as local taxation and fund management are not there yet."
"If you do go through an implementor, you need to be careful that they are actual implementors and not just resellers."
"The manufacturing and planning side could be improved. That part isn't up to date. NetSuite could be easier to integrate in general."
"The product should improve its warehouse management solution."
"If they could provide more integration options to connect with different products, that would be ideal."
"Technical support is very weak. That's because, once again, they've hired a bunch of kids."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is fair compared to competitors."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten. Customizations can cost you extra money."
"The solution is moderately priced. The licensing cost is around sixty thousand USD for annual maintenance. If you're using an application-specific license, it is a little cheaper. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"It is expensive."
"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."
"The price is less than the cost of daily hours."
"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."
"The price of the solution is quite high."
"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)."
