Featured Reviews

Suryansh Kaushal - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved access to transactional data and supported return on investment
Some clients in my past complained about the accounting setup, as it requires people who already have knowledge about NetSuite ERP. They don't appreciate having to pay for consultants or specialists to work with it. It's not easier for them to understand. But every other feature that NetSuite ERP has is pretty decent. They're even introducing new features such as Bill Capture which was introduced last year. My sales and warehouse managers don't find the demand planning feature effective. They say it's quite buggy.
Joseph Daniel - PeerSpot reviewer
Scalable and flexible platform with significant challenges related to complexity, cost management, and the need for skilled personnel
There are a couple of significant challenges we're currently facing. First, our production team can't make use of the production planning features, as they require a Professional license and we only have access to the Logistics license, which is limiting our capabilities. The majority of the reports we generate are intended for managerial purposes. While most reports are straightforward to comprehend, there are a few exceptions that can be quite complex. It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines. This is crucial for monitoring all activities within our manufacturing processes, from software operations to the machinery used.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The inventory feature in NetSuite ERP is very valuable to me because it provides clear estimates about the depreciation of details and includes useful mobile modules."
"I recommend this product to professional services companies and those with complex international financial requirements. NetSuite ERP has strong capabilities in the finance domain that other ERPs may lack."
"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."
"No valuable quote could be determined from the review content."
"It is a very solid product for finance and procure-to-pay processes."
"I would say that the solution is highly configurable."
"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."
"It offers reporting flexibilities that were previously unavailable to us."
"The top-level view and easy navigation to individual transaction levels are beautifully done in SAP Business One."
"I believe the solution is very stable."
"The modules, like the accounting and procurement modules, especially the finance and accounting modules, are quite impressive in the solution."
"The most valuable aspect is that it is easy to use the software."
"The production and planning processes of the solution are very good."
"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."
"The product is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"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."
"The main implementation challenge is finding experienced consultants to translate customer needs into NetSuite ERP's standard functionality. The second challenge is getting enough time from customers for proper implementation."
"NetSuite is good for data management, but it's missing payroll features."
"In terms of the main improvement to NetSuite is the talent itself. It's grown so fast and there are about 25,000 companies running on it, and it's a relatively newer system compared to other competitors. It's growing so fast that the talent base in the partner organization (there's about 200 of them), is pretty thin."
"The areas that this product needs to improve on is the implementation and inventory processes."
"I have faced OPI issues during peak times when pushing and pulling data becomes very slow due to API limitations."
"The communication has been peculiar, and the overall commercial process has been less than satisfactory."
"The browser access needs to improve, as everybody in the industry knows how limited it is."
"The interface needs to be improved. It needs to be more user-friendly."
"Not a ten because it's not software for a structured company or something very big. That is my impression."
"The AI tools, programming languages, and dashboard customization should be easier."
"I would like SAP to replace Business One's fixed Web client with a native Web solution. Right now, their remote access is based on RVP. We have to access the solution through a Windows-based client. It's not a native Web interface."
"SAP Business One on AWS could improve by having more customization and more user-friendly automation."
"I feel that these vendors must be well trained so that they can deploy this solution."
"The solution has a feature that shows you the purchase order that you put on a project and requires you to approve it to be applied to the project, but it doesn't let you move the purchase order to another project. That would be a great feature to have, because if you don't approve it, you have to delete everything and make it again."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"NetSuite ERP has a cost per module you want to use, and then you have the license per user."
"It is expensive."
"The price of the solution is quite high."
"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."
"The price is less than the cost of daily hours."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"I would advise that you first meet with and scope out your project with a NetSuite VAR (Value Added Reseller)."
"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."
"The price of SAP Business One on AWS is reasonable for what we use it for."
"Licenses are available on a monthly or yearly basis, and it costs about $1,200 per license, per user."
"The tool has better pricing models than S/4 HANA."
"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)."
"We have an annual cost for licensing and storage in AWS."
"Though I cannot specifically state whether SAP Business One on AWS is a cheap or expensive product, I can surely say that it is a manageable tool from a cost perspective."
"On average, the licensing costs can be around 50,000 USD. Pricing of the product has certain variables, including the number of licenses and the implementation costs."
"Pricing for me, it's not very interesting. I think it's priced at a normal level."
