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.

Zuora Developer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Streamlines subscription billing and workflows but has needed clearer docs and lower certification costs
I do not focus on Zuora revenue recognition features. Zuora's documentation from the knowledge center is somewhat complicated and should be simplified for beginner-level users who are ready to learn. Sandbox features and workflow settings need enhancement. Zuora's integration can be tricky. With hands-on experience, understanding where features are located makes the process automatic. Without hands-on experience, integration takes considerable time. Although the integration is smooth, it depends heavily on hands-on experience. Providing exact pricing figures for Zuora is challenging because it uses a tiered structure with standard plans. Zuora should improve access to premium support and add-on modules with standard and professional plans by creating easier, balanced feature models. I typically participate in Zuora's initial setup and deployment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is very good."
"I would say that the solution is highly configurable."
"No valuable quote could be determined from the review content."
"The product is very flexible and can adjust to the customer's needs."
"The most valuable feature I find in NetSuite ERP is that it functions as an accounting package for our accounting needs."
"NetSuite ERP is good for a trading company that involves buying and selling."
"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."
"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 is some of the most responsive support that I have encountered.​"
"Automated invoicing is great and makes the process easier than it was five years ago."
"​It has made billing a reliable business function and provided the structure needed to optimize all of our billing processes.​"
"I like the automated bill generation feature."
"Zuora is perfect for managing customer accounts, payments, and billing, as everything happens on time and their customer support is good, so I would definitely recommend Zuora."
"It's an end-to-end solution for managing subscriptions."
"The tool's most valuable aspect is its evolution. When I first worked on it, it was a simple platform that handled accounts and basic invoicing. Over the years, I've seen many changes that have enabled it to support complex projects. The help desk now provides solutions for these projects, which wasn't initially possible. The most important thing about Zuora is its ability to handle complexity through workflows, essentially automating the invoicing process."
"Zuora supports multiple pricing models. There are one-time usages, flat fees, per unit, tiered, and consumption-based models."
 

Cons

"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."
"Additionally, difficulties for end user to select proper modules from cloud ERP were addressed."
"If some company already has a very large presence, in terms of employees or in terms of their products, and they are fully matured, they have a lot of different complex processes in their business, then NetSuite might not be the right choice for that stage of the business."
"The NetSuite fixed asset module needs to be worked on."
"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."
"What needs to be improved is the development in the other areas and other businesses that can use NetSuite, but it's rapidly coming about."
"NetSuite ERP's UI could be improved. There are some features that are very complex that do not have to be."
"NetSuite is still made for small/medium enterprises and needs to focus on bigger organizations, i.e., the Enterprise Edition."
"While fetching the data, I had faced some issues."
"Zuora's documentation from the knowledge center is somewhat complicated and should be simplified for beginner-level users who are ready to learn."
"The data structure within Zuora is a bit rigid. It doesn't support many things, like subqueries or correlation queries and all that."
"I believe the pricing is quite high for some companies using Zuora."
"The documentation that has been provided exists, but it is not particularly useful."
"There are a few areas for improvement. Some APIs aren't working in amendment-based subscriptions."
"When we raise global support tickets, we receive delayed responses."
"I would build dynamic retry functionalities directly into the core product and enhance their integrations with all payment gateways."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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)."
"The price is less than the cost of daily hours."
"When people buy ERP, it's a competitive situation and the pricing is paramount."
"NetSuite ERP has a cost per module you want to use, and then you have the license per user."
"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."
"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."
"Negotiate aggressively. Continue to push on cost until you feel comfortable.​"
"Explore multiple options for implementation."
"The solution is worth the price."
"The tiered pricing model is costly."
