User Testimonials
	Microsoft Dynamics GP	Microsoft Power BI	NetSuite ERP
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft Dynamics GP is well-suited for our environment, as we pay a diverse group of employees, including on-the-road drivers, shop employees (some in other locations), and office employees. It easily tracks time off, taxes, pay, etc. The reporting allows us to verify with our drivers how they are paid each week, whether it be through mileage or stop-offs. Incentivized BH Brent Hanson Sys Admin Read full review	Microsoft Power BI is great for sales tracking, financial reporting, and real-time operations monitoring. It integrates data from multiple sources, creating interactive dashboards for better decision-making. However, it's less ideal for real-time big data processing, offline access, or when deep customization is needed. It works best for structured reporting but struggles with highly complex data models. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It is suited well for its scalability and offerings of options as you need them. Auditing Where lesser ERPs require multiple 3rd party connections to get certain functionality, NetSuite ERP offers it as part of the core already or as an advanced feature you can opt into. It is still a part of the NetSuite environment and managed by NetSuite. Incentivized Raylene DeClue Computer and Information Systems Manager Read full review
Pros	User friendly interface Able to be extended into multiple areas of your business One feature we have been using for a few years is EFT for payables - it has significantly reduced the time spent paying vendors and reduced our check printing and mailing costs. It is very easy to setup and use. Incentivized Tricia Wolfe Jarvis CFO Read full review	It is great at taking in large amounts of data and housing it all. Microsoft Power BI is so user friendly and it's dashboards are very easy on the eye. The ease of sharing dashboards makes it great for use across a large company. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Tracks fixed assets and debt activity for month end rollforwards. Creates a solid audit trail and supporting documentation path for anyone to follow, internally or externally (auditor). Maintains reporting structure and workflow processes for better implementation as training or process improvement/overhaul. Incentivized Christopher Bauman Controller Read full review
Cons	Supply chain management is adequate but not exceptional, and there are challenges tying the product to a website front end. These features are present and work fine in many environments but are often lacking for customers who need more robust systems. Reporting tools often require consulting expertise or an internal business analyst to develop. Many smaller companies don't have this skill set, so it can be costly to upgrade to GP from a smaller packages like QuickBooks. Some features that are available in competing products are still not present in GP, such as full copy-paste functionality and more intelligent workflow/batch processing functions. Incentivized Constance Quigley Owner Read full review	It would be easier for users could Microsoft Power BI and Excel used the same programming languages. Would like to see the online version of Microsoft Power BI be as powerful as the desktop version. Publishing a Microsoft Power BI file online and then having to save the file is somewhat redundant. Would like to export each page or chart as an image. Incentivized SM Sherri MacCheyne Director, Strategic Operations Read full review	I have found it to be a bit slow sometimes when saving. I am not sure if this is Chase Bank or NetSuite, but a direct link to upload bank transactions or credit card transactions would be nice. This is too hard, bc Netsuite works really well. Kristy Upp Staff Accountant Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Due the economic challenges that Puerto Rico is having, the company has had to merge some companies in order to be more efficient. It has been easy in GP to process those merges, even thought we had to spend days to accomplish that the process was smooth and accurate. In addition we were able to streamline the purchasing and sales process and the organization is confident to keep renewing GP for the future versions. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Microsoft Power BI is an excellent and scalable tool. It has a learning curve, but once you get past that, the sky is the limit and you can build from the most simple to the most complex dashboards. I have built everything from simple reports with only a few data points to complex reports with many pages and advanced filtering. David Jensen Operations Manager, Customer Success Read full review	I am not the decision maker for this but I believe our company will be sticking with NetSuite for the long term. A CRM like this is a big investment and not something you move away from quickly and without a lot of planning. There is a lot of data involved and importing that into a new system is no easy task. Billy Barker Creative Director Read full review
Usability	Menus are generally quite difficult to navigate, user-friendliness is lacking, platform can at times be unstable (crashes, etc), reports tha would seem to report one thing do not actually return that data. Usability is probably the biggest weakness of Microsoft Dynamics GP. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Takes a little bit to get used to it. Not natively intuitive but fairly straight forward to pick up. Also docking it a few points because you can create a really clean, simple UI in Claude very quickly that's faster than building all of this yourself in Microsoft Power BI. Incentivized TI Tanner Ingalls Data Product Manager & Data Scientist Read full review	NetSuite is a cloud tool, and is easy to implement for mid-sized organizations. It comes with standard forms/ printing layouts, and financial reporting (both summary and detailed), which are very handy for business users. In addition to these, with 99.99% service availability, NetSuite makes it one of the most reliable ERP tools available on the market. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Reliability and Availability	No answers on this topic	No answers on this topic	It has been very reliable. I can only think of 1-2 times in 4.5 years that we have had issues getting in, and in each case were able to get back in within 1 hour. There has not been a major downtime Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Performance	No answers on this topic	No answers on this topic	Most of the time the performance is very good. Pages load in a few seconds; financial reports take less than 5 seconds; basic searches take a few seconds. But performance can be sporadic throughout the day and cause the run time to triple. Incentivized Pamela Roberts Controller Read full review
Support Rating	The rating is directed to the thrid party serive provider that we use. I do not now how good the Microsoft direct support is. Incentivized Brad Price Corporate Controller Read full review	It is a fantastic tool, you can do almost everything related with data and reports, it is a perfect substitutive of Power Point and Excel with a high evolution and flexibility, and also it is very friendly and easy to share. I think all companies should have Power BI (or other BI tool) in their software package and if they are in the MS Suite, for sure Power BI should be the one due to all the benefits of the MS ecosystem. Incentivized JM Jose-Angel Mangas Global Digital Operations Manager - BA Electrification Read full review	I would like to give 8 rating for NetSuite support and reason for that is below: Whenever we faced any technical or functional issues we tried to reach out to NEtSuite support but response was not immediate. We told them about the urgency of the issue but still we were not getting response on time. Then, we have to reach out to AE to get things resolved. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
In-Person Training	No answers on this topic	No answers on this topic	I had in person training for a day when first got the software. The training was good. The challenge was that there was a large gap between training and when we went live so we forgot quite a lot Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Online Training	No answers on this topic	No answers on this topic	Online training is quite strong. I have used for specific pieces of functionality.However it is not sufficient in all areas. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	Basically the challenge with this implementation was the Business Portal, too many errors and even the aplication is up and running the users are still having issues. We will start planning the migraton to GP 2015 soon. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It was integrated with our erp easily and was accessible on cloud. Incentivized Anuj Sant Senior buyer Read full review	Implementation was fine but could have gone quicker. NetSuite provided me a implementation guide who I did not think was very knowledgeable. I recommend that you make sure the organization knows how they are going to use the software and come up with an implementation plan before importing all of the data. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Because GP doesn't do CRM we have looked at D365 Customer Engagement for our field service, and F&O as a replacement. Vaporware, no direct upgrade path, and if you want to continue with GP for your back office and just use Field Service it's an insanely complex integration import/export. D365 F&O is a huge implementation cost, and without a direct migration path every bit of data has to be custom imported. There really is no straightforward way to stack up GP against these programs currently. Again, the future of GP is in some doubt. Incentivized Michael Bartlett President Read full review	All others apps are enablers and Microsoft Power BI is the visual that end user sees which often adds more value to the end user to make strategic decisions from this. All are equally great but Microsoft Power BI is the end result Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Oracle NetSuite ERP is lightyears ahead with the sophistication and accuracy of their ERP. There are so many more options for inventory management, accounting, and more. We felt that NetSuite ERP provided us with the most growth opportunity and would be able to keep up with our scaling business. Incentivized JD Jordan Davis Website Manager Read full review
Scalability	The functionality that GP and related ISV solutions offer and the ease of integration of GP to other systems makes it an extremely scalable solution Incentivized Tricia Wolfe Jarvis CFO Read full review	No answers on this topic	We have been able to scale our business 25X without any major overhaul with Netsuite. Its dashboard setup makes onboarding new employees very easy and allows data to be shared across multiple offices. Its cloud setup does not put any pressure on IT to scale servers or other infrastructure. We have been able to become much more efficient in all aspects of the business. AK Aaron Kleinhandler CEO Read full review
Return on Investment	We have never missed a payroll using Great Plains. We have the ability to fix any issues that come up quickly. It streamlines our departments that handle money into one unified system. This gives accounting and finance the overall picture in one system. With Integration Manager we have to worry less about taking time to hand key transactions. This cuts down on entry time and increase efficiency for our clerks. Incentivized Eric Mereen Application Systems Analyst Read full review	We're still early in the adoption process at this company, but we've illustrated how bad data keeps us from being more productive. ~25% of a team's work week was dedicated to effectively cleaning up entries, but it was always seen as a normal to them. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	NetSuite software has improved our process controls and enhanced cash management, especially in huge projects. The software has helped us with budgeting, forecasting, and real-time financial reporting. Introduction of NetSuite ERP into our organisation has completely changed the way we do things by enhancing compliance, ensuring real-time project milestone tracking, and enabling portfolio management.
