  • NetSuite has been great for us because it's highly adaptable. We have a niche way of doing our business and nobody really operates exactly like we do. And NetSuite doesn't operate that way out of the box, nor does it for hardly anybody that uses it, but it's really adaptable. So we were able to customize it, create all the fields that we need, all the links that we need, all the integrations that we need to make it work well for us.
  • Honestly, right now, my biggest pain point is kind of our own doing, but I would appreciate a little bit more support and help in the area of performance management and kind of understanding how our application is built, what are the best choices for customizing or solving a problem in terms of performance, because our company is rather large, we have a lot of data coming in and out, and that has been an issue for us recently.

  • I'll talk about the income statement detail report, which is very common. So there are the filter or the selection capabilities so strong that you can view the summary and then you can go into the details and drill down into the transactions from the same place. Even I've used the advance your safe search features, which for someone like me, I'm from tech and engineering backgrounds, it's very easy to just write your own queries and just run the tool and run the report.
  • I think that if it's primarily product improvement or what we need to implement our AP invoicing, that processes link is a little bit missing because there are some manual because we use kind of an email inbox, and then data gets us. So that's what probably is missing from our NetSuite integration point of view. And then there is definitely, I mean we are looking for the MRP and all those pieces, so we'll look into that.

  • Revenue recognition. We get information from Salesforce and we build the revenue recognition engine that I'm really pleased. We avoid a lot of manual work by doing this.
  • We send out invoices electronically from the system. We use it for the fixed asset now with the new lease opinion that we just adopted in January 2022. We leveraged technology, specifically the features in NetSuite to help us account for that.
  • 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.

  • NetSuite does analytics very well.
  • They do reporting very well. I love the ability to have control over how the information flows through my NetSuite, my user roles, and my responsibilities. I can assign certain tasks to certain people, and they do that and then also have the control to approve that and make sure it's done correctly.
  • Just being able to drill down into a particular GL account or into a particular line item and see what really makes that up and what's driving our certain costs.
  • Certain exports out of the system. There are some pages that you can export to Excel and some pages you can't, I don't know why. So it seems like it should be all functionalities there.
  • Some of the bank feeds have broken quite a bit and I'm not sure why. So we have to constantly go in there and readjust that on the reconciliation tab. I know that's new and robust and it's going well. It's more of taking out GL data instead of what's remaining in that account. As far as if I'm looking at a rec for a particular asset, I know there's GL data that goes through there. What I want to know is what's the balance in that account made up of as far as what's remaining there. So that's the kind of stuff I would buy with advice.

  • We really like the advanced manufacturing portion. It assists us with scheduling our product.
  • We're already implementing the CPQ a little bit and it seems to be working a lot smoother than our current CPQ system, so it's very helpful that it's native and that we can manipulate things just right there in NetSuite.

  • The big piece is it gives us a lot of the KPI indicators. When you land on the dashboard and right away you're able to identify, you'll create key information. I'm not having to dive into layers and layers of reports to get what I need. I can set it up and configure it, and then every time I log in I see it there. So that's probably one big thing.
  • The other thing is it brings together all these different pieces together into one ecosystem. I'm not having to get 20 different integrations to make it functional. It works just on its own. And then if I do need to, there are partners that work really well with integrations, so if there is something that works well, I can bring it in, but I don't have to at the same point in time. So those are a couple of big things that are really helpful.
  • I think some of it is in terms of some of the reporting, some of the reporting is really great out of the box. Some of the save search features require a bit more work to get set up, configured, and operating. It'd be nice if there were a few more prebuilt ones that would be really helpful there in some different industry segments. So that would just help to make things a bit easier. The fact that it's there and I can configure it to get information is great, but I still have to have someone who feels comfortable setting all those up and that can take some time.

  • NetSuite has several different UI ways that a user can go in and pull reporting on a whole bunch of different databases without having to call somebody in IT to generate a report.
  • NetSuite has a bunch of ways where you can pull reports like save searches, and there are limitations on how many links you can go to get that data. Rather than make save searches work, they just create a new module instead of making the old module work. So now I have to learn this one and that one.

  • One thing that I've used it personally is when we moved into Canada there was a need to do different things on our invoicing for our customers. They needed to see our registration numbers and some specific requirements for that market. So one of the things we were able to do pretty quickly was create new PDF forms to print for our Canadian customers so that we would be in compliance.
  • This probably is a misunderstanding because I've only been in there 8 months, but one of the things that takes us more time than we'd like is just getting our banking stuff wrapped up, and that's a project we've got going on with a third party to help us to get that talking to each other, to at least get it a little automated to help us move a little faster.

  • I already mentioned the intercompany, which saves me a ton of time. Being able to book entries across multiple subsidiaries all at once is a huge time-saving. I also really value the way that it integrates with some other technology solutions, and I'm going to shout out to Ramp right now. I implemented that last summer and for credit card spend and being able to not have to spend hours reconciling credit card and having all the data feed right into NetSuite instantly without any kind of reconciliation needed is a huge time save. And it's not just Ramp that does that. We've used Stampli as well for AP and it does that. We recently implemented Rippling to handle HR and payroll. And so that's one of the big things. And that was a big selling point for me too, was being able to find these other solutions that can automate and make us very scalable. But they all talk nice. With API direct kind of integrations with NetSuite.
  • I think there's the challenge of NetSuite of just navigating how big it is. It's also, I don't think it's always the most user-friendly platform. I feel like I've been implementing still for two years of just learning how to, there's so many different things you can do, which is great and that's what I really like about it, but it's also not the most intuitive or user-friendly software.

  • From a reporting standpoint, actually the subsidiary navigator and all those sorts of elements. It's the best on the market from a financial tool perspective. Then looking at a bit further in terms of the reporting and then the analytics side. It's absolutely phenomenal in terms of actually what data we can get on a day-to-day basis and make agile decisions.
  • My main frustration at the moment, to be honest, is our client base who are mid-market. So the problem is that all the suite apps and things like that have been developed such as smart count rebates and trade promotions, cash 360, item 360, however, you have to be one well enabled to be able to use them. Our mid-market customers, therefore, if they're just a single lens team miss out and that actually causes them to be version-locked. And that is the one thing NetSuite promises it won't be. It's always supposed to be the single source of truth that everyone's on the latest release. This, in my opinion, impacts that. So actually having an option where people in that situation would almost be entitled to a heavy discount on one well, which instead needs to actually be able to utilize that functionality is only right, to be honest.

  • I tell everybody it is a platform, not a product. I mean, it is a product, but it's a platform approach, right? So it allows you to morph it to your specific needs. In our case, we have adapted it to the life sciences industry and built best practices around it so that when we go into a new client, we don't have to ask them, "Hey, tell us about your business." We show up with the version one or requirement document, and it's built on best practices and it's built to use NetSuite in the most efficient way possible so that you are reducing all these uses of multiple different hodgepodges of systems and expenses that come along with it. We replace all that with a single system, NetSuite, and you get a huge ROI in NetSuite by leveraging that model and not having to use four or five different systems to do the things that it can do out of the gate.
  • Automation is one of the big pieces. We are trying to automate as many of these processes so our customers can spend time analyzing data rather than keying information and just looking for information. That's the biggest loss of time for our clients - looking for that invoice is looking for, was this a thing paid or not? So we drive their day-to-day from the dashboard instead of them having to look for information, information just pops up on the dashboard, tells you have these POs to approve, you have these invoices to look at, oh, there's this exception, this is this PO, or this invoices over the PO amount.
  • We are really looking forward to the use of AI. A lot of the usability, especially in the project management part of the product, we feel like there are lots of clicks you have to do. So it's not as some of these other tools that we have to use along with it like Smartsheet. I would like to see more improvement there. Although NetSuite has another product called Open Air, but that's a completely different beast. So I want to see more of this usage within NetSuite. So that's one area of improvement. I'm sure there are others. It's a growing platform and it can never be perfect. Nothing can ever be perfect yet.

  • The learning, the LCS is very good. Anything that you'd like to learn, whether it's for an admin from security to dev, you just have it at your fingertips. There's no limit to what you can learn. I think that's really great that it's just open for everybody.
  • I think for me, because I'm so new, the biggest struggle that I have is not really understanding the whole big picture of how NetSuite plays into the role of a company and I'm learning it from backward. I think if I had a visual aid or kind of a guide of "this is how NetSuite integrates into an IT infrastructure, this is how you'll use it and this is kind of how NetSuite's recommended use of NetSuite would be from Oracle," that would be helpful for me. So just kind of the bigger picture is how I like to look at things and analyze it and fix the problems that I have.
