NetSuite by definition is a subscriber, full subscriber cloud product. You can't host it. It's not offered to be hosted on-premise.

I would say most of the users really, really like it. They felt it was a major improvement over what we had previously and the visibility that it provides you with really helps you understand exactly what's being processed in the workflows, which is critical.

I would advise other organizations to make sure it's a good match for your processes. For companies that already have a process that they need to stick with, they need to carefully review the way that the workflows in NetSuite work as they may have to change the way they work versus changing the system to work the way they want to. That's not going to be to everybody, however, a good first step is to really analyze and make sure that it works for you or you can adapt the system. For us, it was a very good match and we were able to make certain customizations that were not crazy, which really helped us a lot. And we wanted some of the discipline that came with a bit of the rigidity that NetSuite can be known for. 

If you're not going to use all those features, there are different ways that you can buy NetSuite. You can buy its core and you can bolt other products onto it. It's possible to integrate certain other applications that are specific to, let's say, an Expensify for travel and expense or DocuSign for digitally signing documents, those are all easy integrations. Those kinds of things make the product very attractive as they're not trying to lock out anything; they're actually facilitating it, which is great.

We've been extremely happy with the solution. 

I would rate it at a nine out of ten.

I would advise anyone looking into implementing NetSuite OneWorld not to try to make it do what your old system did for you because it limits the functionalities you can take advantage of in NetSuite OneWorld. Too many of my old customers would try to recreate what old systems did for them, and I always show what functionality would be missing if you try to recreate your old system.

My rating for NetSuite OneWorld is ten out of ten. As long as you're using it for a function that NetSuite intends it for, then it's a pretty satisfying solution. Otherwise, I would never sell this or try to use NetSuite OneWorld in a food manufacturing environment because it's not designed to do that. For wholesale distribution, such as manufacturing, financials, and CRM, it does everything any company would ever want it to do.

I would rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten. The tool is very good for growing and medium-sized businesses. Once we have configured NetSuite, we get most of the things that we need to get from it.

I rate NetSuite OneWorld a nine out of ten.

I've worked with both NetSuite OneWorld and SAP.

I'm using NetSuite OneWorld 2022.2.

I'd tell anyone looking into using NetSuite OneWorld that whatever your requirement is, it's possible because you can customize the solution. Don't worry about how NetSuite OneWorld could meet your need because it will, and you can get what you want.

My rating for the solution is eight out of ten.

While comparing NetSuite OneWorld to other tools I've used like SAP and IFS, I'd rate it a six because certain analytics features are missing that I've come to expect from other systems. If those analytics were more robust, I could potentially rate it higher. Additionally, there are occasional issues with data accuracy that need to be addressed. Overall, deeper analytics capabilities would greatly improve the tool's usefulness for me.

Hire a very skilled project manager with development skills.

Negotiate pricing, implement support with thorough the requirements documentation, and designate an internal training manager in lieu of opting for NetSuite training. Their training package is templated, which is not very helpful and not repeatable. Also, consider opting out of NetSuite's support packages despite the strong case they will make. If you have a capable in-house administrator, NetSuite's support will be a waste of money. 

As a small and mid-size enterprises tool, usually in Mexico and Latin America, NetSuite customers migrate from very small systems, and suddenly their operations become more complex, if data migration and training issues are not well taken, implementation experience can turn into very complex and time-consuming problems; validate your NetSuite Partner references of past projects, also check credentials of performing implementation personnel that will assist you.

The product is very flexible with almost limitless options for customizations and integrations. Having said that, Accounting is its main focus, so it is lacking in features when used for project management or support cases which are out-of-the-box. Overall, it is a great product for someone who wants to have a single system that handles all aspects of the business and does a great job making information visible across the company.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate NetSuite OneWorld a seven out of ten.
