"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."
"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 most valuable aspect of NetSuite ERP is the multi-subsidiary portion, it is the strongest across all the other ERPs. If you want to do consolidations, it works a lot better than other tools."
"We leverage the core platform but are able to add additional functionality for ease of use, tailored processes, and industry related reporting."
"It offers reporting flexibilities that were previously unavailable to us."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV could be improved in terms of exporting income statements and balance sheets. Currently, there is a feature, but you can only have the last three years. I spent some time trying to improve the KPI portion that exports the data, that already calculates the sub forms or subtotals, but they weren't able to break that up into different dimensions. They've now managed to crowd the separate table and you can export that, but it's only for the last three years. So, they could improve this solution by getting the chart of accounts or the account schedules to be exported, where you can go further than just three years with it."
"The performance and virtual machine backup is not good with this solution and need improvements."
"I am hoping there is more integration with other platforms, more features, and customization in the next release."
"There is room for improvement in terms of compatibility."
"It would be nice, in Microsoft Teams, if we were able to type more information into the chat."
"The solution can improve by having better integration with Microsoft PowerBI and reporting."
"I would like to have more frequent updates."
"The solution must provide more AI features."
"Many features such as local taxation and fund management are not there yet."
"The manufacturing and planning side could be improved. That part isn't up to date. NetSuite could be easier to integrate in general."
"In NetSuite ERP, they should focus on offering better customization options."
"NetSuite is good for data management, but it's missing payroll features."
"As with any system offering large volumes of data, there are limitations on processing large volumes of data in custom ways."
"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."
"If you do go through an implementor, you need to be careful that they are actual implementors and not just resellers."
"The pricing is high."
