NetSuite ERP vs. Restaurant365

NetSuite ERP is deployable in both cloud and on premise which ensures time value. Real-time data integration capabilities and effectiveness of the software in managing invoices, inventory, taxation and deductions. The product is in compliance with financial and accounting regulations. I find the product well suited when it comes to insights management and fueling of informed decision making.

I think any business that needs to track its expenses and create a P&L and balance sheet could benefit from this program. Once you get the training on it, it really makes the whole thing a breeze, saves you time, and creates beautiful reports. I don't know any business that wouldn't need it. Maybe if your business is selling one thing, maybe it won't be worth it for you. I think the sales would need to back up the subscription price, so I would weigh that into the equation. But there is nothing R365 doesn't do. It does inventory, it does waste tracking, it gets into the nitty gritty of business.

• Reports. I wasn't happy with the reporting. I don't think we're there yet. I understand better now the safe search functionality, but still when it comes to doing the monthly financial package, I rely on a different product.
• I think they could be hard to use based on roles and permissions. I learned if you don't set those up the right way, you don't get visibility into the NetSuite data, and could be challenging.
• I just watched the other data bill capture, and I was surprised to see that they only allow five pages for invoices. So I really want more than five pages. I want it unlimited.

• Credit cards and banks don't always connect, so sometimes you have to manually import transactions or reconnect the bank.
• When classifying transactions, the program can lag at times.

NetSuite is able to cover all of our needs, spanning multiple departments and managerial levels. We use it daily for a multitude of functions, including creating promotions, estimating inventory, pulling historical reports, forecasting sales, and more. Overall, we're very satisfied with NetSuite as an ERP solution and recommend it to medium to large businesses.

NetSuite ERP is a simple UI, but leaves a lot to be desired. It's very useable, but sometimes not useable enough. For a system that has many functions, there will, never be a one size fits all, so it's understandable. I gave an 8 because it' a heck of a lot more useable than shuffling through multiple systems to achieve one, multi-departmental goal of closing, fulfilling and billing an order.

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

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.

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.

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

Online training is quite strong. I have used for specific pieces of functionality.However it is not sufficient in all areas.

I felt NetSuite Professional Services did an excellent job of guiding us in the implementation. I also felt our internal teams were a little resistant to the change and engagement of new software. Had we performed better engaging and buying into the new software, I would be able to rate the implementation better. Therefore, the lower number should not be viewed as a deficiency with the software or the professional services teams, but as an reminder of how important complete buy-in from the local users is.

I was not the selector of the vendor for NetSuite ERP, and it is now the interface I am most used to. I would recommend SAP and their full suite of products, currently only using Concur, as I think it has a slightly cleaner and less cluttered interface, however I do not know if it has all the many features that we use in NetSuite ERP as a global organisation of many individuals.

The sales integration and labor integration with our POS is really where it is light years better than QB. Quickbooks is good, but R365 is like QB on steroids. The drill down feature is fantastic, which QB doesn't have, and again, the sheer number of reports and customization is an asset. There is so much customization on R365 that I forgot to mention earlier on. And the level of support! You can go to their online support center and get answers so fast! You chat with a live person, not a bot, and they are real people giving you real answers.

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.

• I would say it has been a great ROI. I'm fairly new to Titan, but I will say especially at my last company, which is a retail company, the ROI was almost immediate because the systems that they were using were really suffering and it was affecting the bottom line. So NetSuite was a savior for them, really in the most literal sense. They would not have survived very much longer on the systems that they had. So to go to something like NetSuite where everything was all together in one platform was a huge advantage. And it didn't take long for us to realize that investment was well worth it.

• Accuracy! Accuracy all around.
• Now we know exactly how much money we are making, rather than a roundabout guess based off a spreadsheet.
