Systems Analyst - Manhattan SCALE WMS at a logistics company with 51-200 employees
Wave flows allow shipments to process in different ways
Being a third-party specialised in online retail, the challenge is to maintain peak efficiency across various order and stock profiles across hundreds of clients, from B2B orders versus B2C orders and products ranging from an iPhone case to a three-seater couch. Orders are channeled based on their profile and processed through wave flows, which allow us to process them in the most efficient way possible.

Principle Consultant at iOCO
Accounting processes have become transparent and time tracking supports our consulting projects
The built-in analytics tools of NetSuite ERP are not good enough for my needs. I did not create the accounting reports; my accounting team developed all of those. I know that all the data we need to analyze in CRM and from projects must be exported, and we run reports on those. The built-in analytics tools in NetSuite ERP do not help me identify opportunities or risks at all. I export all the data and use Power BI to analyze it. I do not utilize the customizable dashboards and just use a normal home page. The inventory management feature does not help us because we do not have any inventory or stock. The advanced financial management features are basic, as general ledger functionality is fundamental to accounting. I would not call it advanced. The principles are as old as accounting itself. NetSuite ERP is a cloud-based accounting platform with nothing exceptional to note. Their pricing is a package deal, so the deeper the investment, the more features are available and the more difficult it becomes to leave. I would like to see additional features in the next release to make it more competitive. I only use a fraction of the functionality because we do not have logistics, merchandising, warehousing, or inventory. We are a consultancy that sells software, implements software products, and provides advisory services, so our accounting needs are actually quite basic. I would rate this product an eight overall.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our business has grown and is growing at a consistent rate, and SCALE has been very scalable."
"It's integrated into everything well so you can navigate and use it in a very simple way."
"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."
"The solution is pretty easy to use and navigate, and it's more of a lightweight software."
"I like the ease of setup and customization of forms."
"First of all, it's really easy to use."
"NetSuite ERP has dramatically improved our organization. We went from QuickBooks to NetSuite. You can compare this transition to changing from tennis shoes to a flying car."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The system notes give me information of who changed what."
 

Cons

"Manhattan is ahead of where the industry is heading towards, but needs a more third-party oriented approach in its product road map."
"Many features such as local taxation and fund management are not there yet."
"The solution is not user-friendly and it is complex to use."
"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."
"The system is quite slow overall; sometimes I wait thirty, forty, or fifty seconds for a screen to refresh."
"The product should improve its warehouse management solution."
"If they could provide more integration options to connect with different products, that would be ideal."
"I would like to see improvement around the Revenue Recognition module. Right now, several templates are there, but they are either too complicated, or they are difficult to configure, from a company finance perspective."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"When people buy ERP, it's a competitive situation and the pricing is paramount."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"NetSuite ERP has a cost per module you want to use, and then you have the license per user."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
