NetSuite ERP vs. Retail Pro

The software can be tailored to fit specific business needs and processes. The tool's pricing is far more affordable than that of its competitors. NetSuite support services providers are approachable and very responsive. We have not experienced delays in their responses. The tool's multi-user capabilities allow multiple users to implement the software without causing delays in system performance.

Centralized control of stores and we are able to manage different taxes, promotions based on the region. With more than 200 prices retail pro help us manage different prices for an item.

• We have been experiencing too many outages for the past one year but the beauty of this is that customer services providers are available 24/7.
• The product requires a high level of technical expertise for ease in configuration and implementation which is expensive.
• The software needs an immediate update especially in the user interface which looks very outdated.

• Serial number tracking and reporting.
• Serial/Batch based selling price.
• Online reports.

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.

First thing, all of my business users are happy with the usability and reliability of retail pro. Users are able to get what they want to run the business positively. We are able to customize the solution any time based on the business requirements. Finally after working on different solutions we found a solution that works with little support.

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.

Retail pro is a solution which needs minimum support, so we can concentrate on other productive work. Worst case if there is any problem our well trained Zimson team is able to handle it on time. Thanks Retail Pro for its world class support and training system. No wonder why all top retail brands use Retail Pro for its POS operations.

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.

N/A. I wish we could switch to other products.

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.

• It decreased the home office's efficiency because it runs too slow and always crashes.
• At the store level, it causes cash over short/duplicate charge issues when it crashes.
• For the inventory and planning department, it impacted the accuracy of inventory level due to the lack of functions.
