We performed a comparison between Netsuite ERP and SAP S4HANA based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison of Results: Based on the parameters we compared, Netsuite ERP seems to be the superior solution. Our reviewers find that the questions concerning the simplicity of AP S4HANA’s deployment process, stability, scalability, and the effectiveness of the technical support that it provides make it a riskier investment than Netsuite ERP.
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It offers reporting flexibilities that were previously unavailable to us."
"I am impressed with the product's ease of use. It also helps us reduce the techstack."
"NetSuite is a better value than some competing solutions. The fee structure is simpler, and other ERP solutions don't offer as many options for configuration."
"We use it for the projects we do in the telecom industry."
"I like the ease of setup and customization of forms."
"I have found SAP S4HANA to be scalable."
"The most useful features of SAP S4HANA are the consolidation reports. The BI is very strong and the manufacturing and finance sections we like a lot."
"In terms of its most valuable feature, I would say the finance module."
"The scalability is excellent, especially on cloud deployment models."
"S/4HANA falls under a single terminal. We can easily access the data, and the performance is good."
"SAP S4HANA has good performance and has allowed us to combine our systems."
"The speed of executing reports has increased significantly. We no longer need day-minus-one business processing."
"It seamlessly integrates with all the SAP Business Suite products such as IoT, AI, Analytics and all other SaaS solutions. The product is very robust and comprehensive."
"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."
"It would be great if they offered localization for Central America."
"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."
"The areas that this product needs to improve on is the implementation and inventory processes."
"NetSuite is good for data management, but it's missing payroll features."
"Additionally, adding advanced modules such as AI components or customer service modules could help the system become more scalable."
"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."
"Items that impact the TCO should be improved because the solution is very complex to integrate and keep running."
"This solution works with the configuration, if the prerequisites are very clear and can be configured it works perfectly. If you need to simulate something, as a predictive tool this kind of simulation is not very accurate and it has limitations. This is something that could improve."
"SAP S/4HANA needs to bring a feature that allows a great quantity of data compression"
"I would like to see the AI included to help from a data standpoint."
"S/4HANA could be improved with better integration. At the moment, a main issue I see is that there's so much growth in the functionality, complementary modules, and cloud solutions which were acquired by SAP and which extend the functionality of the SAP ERP suite. It looks to me that they tend to acquire more and more functionality from acquisitions, but they don't invest enough effort into making them integrated with S/4HANA or ERP. I would say that the functionality is great, but integration is something which still needs more attention. Instead of focusing on acquisitions, they should invest, integrate, and better the existing portfolio of products in SAP. It would help us, as implementors, to have a more complex or compact solution."
"Planned Order List needs a change of screen."
"The two things that need to be improved are price and customization."
"In an upcoming release, it would be beneficial to have more practical intelligence in the system, such as protective maintenance, or artificial intelligence."
