NetSuite is a best in class cloud base ERP solution for small to medium size companies. Cracks start to show in the software as business leaders have tried to add new features to make it a 360 solution. New features such as SuiteHR are often half-baked and seem to be used more in sales and media to prop up the stock price of Oracle (especially before acquisition)
Best in class could based ERP solution for small to medium size companies
Customer support tries to very helpful. However, quality of support has gone down since the acquisition and implementation of ACS as more and more customers are being pushed to this subscription support service

I've done a reimplementaiton of Oracle EBS, and as NetSuite knows, the cost to switch to a new ERP is crazy big, especially for a public company. Also, no need currently to change
Not Sure
  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
Reliability, and ease of use
We wouldn't
  • Don't know
I was not part of the implementation, but do not agree with some of the subsidiary structure that was decided upon
  • No Training
I had prior training and experience before joining my company. Having a sandbox environment to mess up in is key
With SuiteBundles, SuiteScript, Workflows, and Web Services, configuration is basically limitless
Get a good 3rd party implementation partner and also bring on other users with netsuite experience as they have gone through the ups and downs of the system
No - we have not done any customization to the interface
Some - we have added small pieces of custom code
Pretty easy to do. Features that were requested by the finance and accounting teams
SuiteBundles and Workflows are clutch
Yes, to get better and more timely support
Yes
It remained open for about 4 years before finally getting resolved. I do not know if NetSuite considers that timely or not. (Hint, I laughed and don't think reporting bugs is that great of an option if you want a timely resolution)
Yes, when I showed up to SuiteWorld after being one of the first customers to implement ASC 606 and when asking direct questions in meetings, I was given multiple phone numbers of people so I wouldn't keep asking questions
  • Saved Searches

Best in class cloud based ERP for small to medium size companies
Uptime is super reliable as evidence by the trust site
Only complex reports take a long time to run, and often the solution is to run in the background and have it emailed to you
Suitebundles, or 3rd party integration tool. Overall, integration was pretty easy to achieve
  • Kyriba
  • Concur
Concur does. Kyriba has a suitebundle as well
  • Single Signon
  • API (e.g. SOAP or REST)
  • AppExchange or similar marketplace
Some integrations that use SuiteBundle take all of the guesswork out of the actual integration
Trust 1st party suitebundles, and if they don't offer their own bundle, then that should be considered a red flag
I was not a part of the sales process. Since moving to Oracle though, pricing and room to maneuver with the pricing has changed (harder)
Once you land a deal, any vendor then wants to expand. However, they also know that it's hard to leave so they keep that in mind during renewal time
Have to have another option to negotiate against
Yes
Yes. NetSuite has the upgrade down, and no issues
No
No

We used NetSuite for sales rep quoting, order entry, maintenance renewals, customer service, accounting and finance.
  • It is exceptional at quoting, ordering, invoicing, revenue recognition, install base, renewals, purchasing, vendor billing, general ledger and financial reporting. Furthermore it is extensible, in that you can use java scripting and/or custom objects to manage requirements that are unique to your business. It has robust and flexible customer and item management capabilities.
  • NetSuite is an intuitive business application that support best practice business processes. When implemented and managed properly, it can handle the great majority of business processes in a scalable, open and secure environment.
  • The NetSuite platform also has an open API that enables integration with Salesforce. This requires a very clear integration methodology though. The methodology we used placed resulted in lower complexity and reliable uptime. Additionally, it had proper internal controls.
  • NetSuite e-commerce is evolving. Historically, the knock against it was user interface. NetSuite is spending considerable time and effort to improve this functionality though.
  • Also, as of late 2014, Advanced Projects now spans Project Management, Resource Allocation and Job Costing/Budgeting. They have been taking best practice workflows from OpenAir and putting them into native NetSuite. This solution will continue to be enhanced.
I enjoyed my experience as a NetSuite customer so much so that I started my own services company. We are focused on Salesforce and NetSuite. We are a NetSuite Solution Provider - reseller, new implementations and optimizations for existing NetSuite customers. We are focused on the software and light manufacturing/distribution verticals. All of our NetSuite customers have been very happy with the results. http://www.saascg.com/our-clients/

  • This is tough to quantify, as our business was growing rapidly, so it was almost impossible to attribute specific numbers to NetSuite only. But, I estimate that we cut administrative costs by ~ 30% with simplified billing, licensing and install base management. We dramatically improved renewals cash flow by automating the process via NetSuite.
  • We were up and running on the NetSuite GL in 1 month. We went live on Customer Support by the end of month 3. We fully implemented NetSuite with full integration to Salesforce within 5 months. We acquired 2 companies and opened up an office in Cork, Ireland in this same time period.
  • Oracle eBusiness Suite,QuickBooks Online,QuickBooks Pro
NetSuite architecture is far superior to any of these. Technically and business process wise. Robust revenue recognition, multi-company, multi-currency. Scales to meet entire business requirements.

We used NetSuite Professional Services in a shared services model. They would meet with us and walk us through specific functionality. Then we would setup the rest of the functionality ourselves. For example, they would teach us how to enter an account in the chart of accounts, then we would enter the rest.
Executive involvement is critical. Make sure you have a good handle on the metrics you would like to ultimately manage. Work as a team to document your business requirements. Whiteboard often. Understand NetSuite's best practice capabilities. Have a central person identified to handle all report and analysis requests (ie - don't allow multiple people to create reports; have one person create reports and distribute them to decision makers via the NS dashboard or whatever form). Make sure you understand critical dates and develop the project plan accordingly.
  • Online training
  • Self-taught
It was for me, but I believe that is because I have a public accounting background with a heavy emphasis on business workflows, risks and controls. Plus, I was an Oracle Applications Sales Consultant for 8 years. But for most organizations, I would recommend training sessions by functional area. Additionally, NetSuite has excellent Help documentation.
NetSuite's SuiteCloud platform allows you to easily adapt NetSuite to meet your company's business process. You can control the information that is accessed and entered by each user of your NetSuite account. There is a simple point and click interface for configuring standard fields, forms and reports and for creating custom fields and forms, custom record types, transaction form layouts, and custom centers (role based dashboards).
No
In my opinion, the best place to go to answer your NetSuite functionality questions is their Online Help. It is excellent. For true support questions, NetSuite offers a Knowledgebase to its customers. Also, for ERP, NetSuite has licensed accountants that provide support. With any support organization, you must be thorough in describing your issue though. NetSuite has several different support levels - http://www.netsuite.com/portal/services/support_main.shtml
  • Fields and forms are easy to configure.
  • Order to Cash, including revenue recognition.
  • Multi-company, multi-currency
Yes
NetSuite's support for mobile devices—iOS, Android and Windows Phones—ensures that your business users get real-time access to the information they need.
Overall NetSuite is very intuitive. Usability is the direct product of a proper implementation - the way you configure form layouts, add fields, assign permissions and develop workflows.
NetSuite has a published 99.5% uptime guarantee.
In my experience, NetSuite's server and network performance has been good.
  • Salesforce.com
  • A custom product licensing system on SQL Server.
We initially created a custom object for quoting in Salesforce then integrated the transactional (line) item detail. This is very challenging, as you are recreating items, pricing, discounting, etc. Plus, this requires the integration to transfer all of the transactional detail leading to more inherent risk of failure. We redesigned the integration to allow Sales Reps, on an opportunity in Salesforce, to click a button to launch the Sales Rep into NetSuite where they could enter the quote in NetSuite. Order Management could then process approved quotes to Orders and eventually Invoices. We transferred Quote Header (ID, amount, expiration date) information back into Salesforce so that Sales Manager could run Opportunity and Quote reports (ex. which opps have quotes that are expired). Best of all worlds.
  • In my current role as President of SaaS Consulting Group, my team has done many integrations.
NetSuite now supports an integration with Salesforce.com.
  • File import/export
  • API (e.g. SOAP or REST)
  • Javascript widgets
https

The SuiteTalk Platform provides programmatic access to your NetSuite data and business processes through an XML-based application programming interface (API). Generally speaking, the SuiteTalk Platform has the following characteristics:

  • SOAP encoded web services – the SuiteTalk Platform uses SOAP-based web services with document style, or Doc style, encoding.

    Doc style encoding consists of message-oriented exchanges where an XML schema specified within the SOAP message defines the structure of any messages sent between two applications. RPC exchanges are NOT supported.

  • HTTPS Transport – currently the only transport supported is HTTPS as defined in the WSDL document.

Plan out your business process. Leverage each system's core process strengths (ex. NetSuite item master, quote to cash). Reduce transaction line item integration whenever possible.
