Overall Satisfaction with NetSuite

Our entire organization uses NetSuite. It is our system of record for accounting purposes, our order management system, our hub for fulfillment, our CRM-SFA system for our direct sales staff, and the place where we create, edit, and control the products we sell. It addresses many business problems; without it, we would have a hard time running our business.
  • Web-based, cloud ERP - can access from anywhere
  • Relatively simple customization ecosystem allows a high amount of flexibility with the product - it can be changed to do almost anything you want
  • Role- and permissions-based user management makes it easy to fine-tune roles for users in your organization.
  • Documentation is there, but lacking especially in development areas.
  • While releases are done twice annually, there are many small bugs in the system that don't get fixed for years.
  • Their mobile apps for iPhone/Android are very poor and limiting.
  • We have been able to automate many processes such as processing sales orders, creating invoice / fulfillment records, and sending emails.
  • Needing to add certain modules throughout time based on features we had hoped were stock available (like demand planning) has resulted in needing to spend more money.
NetSuite is well-suited for new businesses, growing businesses, or established businesses looking to become more agile in their ERP. It may not be a good fit for a company who is set in already using an older, in-house ERP system - though if the cost can be absorbed to transition, it can alleviate many issues. It has some manufacturing capabilities, but companies with a strong need for MRP capabilities may want to evaluate other software that is more tailored to their needs.
