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."I am impressed with the product's ease of use. It also helps us reduce the techstack."
"The most valuable feature is that it works according to how the Internet works."
"I have found there to be many features, such as manufacturing, accounting, financials, inventory, and purchasing."
"It offers reporting flexibilities that were previously unavailable to us."
"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 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."
"I like the ease of setup and customization of forms."
"Performs well and can be used with a wide range of devices."
"The manufacturing area is a good feature."
"S/4HANA Cloud is very stable."
"The most valuable features of SAP S/4HANA Cloud are the ease of use from the cloud, CapEx analysis report, and everything being connected together well."
"We like the web portal or interface, which is great. The user experience is much better than the current traditional SAP landscape."
"Finance aspects of it and transportation management, asset management, and inventory management are valuable."
"Managing the server and taking advantage of the services provided by SAP itself is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is stable."
"The pricing is high."
"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."
"An area for improvement in NetSuite ERP is its accounting functionality because it has certain limitations. You can't maintain sub-ledgers or post accrued expenses in sub-ledger forms, so you'll need to post in journals. The pricing is another area that can be improved in NetSuite ERP because the pricing was lower when it wasn't part of Oracle, but after Oracle acquired Netsuite and NetSuite ERP was offered as a cloud service, the price went up."
"Many features such as local taxation and fund management are not there yet."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex."
"The communication has been peculiar, and the overall commercial process has been less than satisfactory."
"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 could improve by adding a planning model, such as BPC. Additionally, if we need to make changes in the profit center it has to be done manually. It is not connected to the cost center."
"S/4HANA isn't ideal for managing contracts and subscriptions. There isn't a feature to notify us when a contract for a service we need is approaching its end or a product is no longer supported. You need a separate solution for that."
"We'd like to have more of a low-code platform."
"There is room for improvement in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, particularly in enhancing the application's response time."
"When it comes to the SAP PM material's module, it would be nice to see the inclusion of predictive analytics."
"The implementation time for S/4HANA Cloud could be reduced."
"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."
"Analytics could be improved."
