We performed a comparison between NetSuite ERP and SAP S/4HANA Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The user interface is very good."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"NetSuite ERP is good for a trading company that involves buying and selling."
"It is a very solid product for finance and procure-to-pay processes."
"I am impressed with the product's ease of use. It also helps us reduce the techstack."
"We use it for the projects we do in the telecom industry."
"The manufacturing area is a good feature."
"Both standard and customized integrations work well with no issues."
"Speed has improved and getting analytical reports has been simplified."
"It is good in data analytics and helps in data analytics."
"The most valuable features of SAP S/4HANA Cloud are the detailed solution costing, integration, and built-in analytics."
"I like the SAP offerings and the standard best practices included in the SAP S/4HANA Cloud version."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is versatile with various integrated tools such as connecting with finance modules, controlling parameters, and creating universal journals."
"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."
"NetSuite ERP's UI could be improved. There are some features that are very complex that do not have to be. There are some aspects of the solution that could be simplified and this can include the documentation. Since it's a very complex tool, you expect to have great detailed documentation to help you implement it."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex."
"Improvement-wise, it should be more customizable. Currently, you can't enhance the product yourself in terms of development for any applications unless you've got a very strong and big development team. Those are the skills that are in very short supply."
"The areas that this product needs to improve on is the implementation and inventory processes."
"I would like to see improved customization options in NetSuite ERP, possibly through generative modules, to enhance flexibility and efficiency."
"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."
"NetSuite is good for data management, but it's missing payroll features."
"The solution's speed and dashboard could be improved."
"I would like to see a feature where it allows integration with more platforms."
"The user experience has some room for improvement. S/4HANA covers various scenarios based on the best business practices, but users complain about its user experience. It is not a user-friendly ERP solution. I rate the current UX seven out of 10."
"The implementation time for S/4HANA Cloud could be reduced."
"SAP S4HANA Cloud's production planning screens could be improved."
"UX design is not flexible and lacks compatibility with mobile devices."
"The price is mainly suitable for larger companies, even then, there may be other, cheaper solutions. Additionally, this solution is the result of multiple acquisitions leaving room for there to be issues with performance."
"We'd like to have more of a low-code platform."
