We performed a comparison between Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and NetSuite ERP based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Activity Based Costing Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The platform offers a robust and comprehensive cycle for supply chain and inventory management, with features like minimum and maximum settings, dynamic monitoring of inventory levels, and integration with Microsoft's AI capabilities."
"All of the features are valuable, depending on where you implement them. I've done implementations in 60 countries, across 86 different companies and groups, and each company has a different reason for why they want to use it. Every single feature that I've implemented has been successful, and for some companies, where they didn't use the functionality, they have moved to external products or they've integrated into other applications."
"Microsoft products are very good in general. This product is flexible, easy to use, intuitive, and has good capabilities."
"NAV covers everything from purchasing and selling items to invoicing. Everything is within NAV, so it's all very neat."
"Its most valuable feature is the user interface."
"I like Microsoft Dynamics' simplicity. The interface is excellent, and it's a highly mature product. You can hardly find any bugs in the product."
"The customer support is good. The first level of support agent in every case was able to solve the problem very quickly."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is using the Excel sheets on Chrome and other applications."
"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."
"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."
"We use it for the projects we do in the telecom industry."
"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."
"NetSuite is significantly more affordable than Oracle EBS and offers a wider range of features than other OEMs."
"It offers reporting flexibilities that were previously unavailable to us."
"It is a very solid product for finance and procure-to-pay processes."
"The solution could include the retail tool in the native version."
"They need to improve their processes."
"The solution can improve by having better integration with Microsoft PowerBI and reporting."
"We need to customize more often than we would like."
"In Thailand, the support here could be better. The process to get an answer is too long."
"The solution's event management can be improved."
"There are some aspects of the solution that is complex."
"The stability could always be improved."
"Many features such as local taxation and fund management are not there yet."
"Additionally, adding advanced modules such as AI components or customer service modules could help the system become more scalable."
"I would like to see improved customization options in NetSuite ERP, possibly through generative modules, to enhance flexibility and efficiency."
"In NetSuite ERP, they should focus on offering better customization options."
"NetSuite is good for data management, but it's missing payroll features."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex."
"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."
"If you do go through an implementor, you need to be careful that they are actual implementors and not just resellers."
