Overall Satisfaction with NetSuite

NetSuite was originally purchased as a growth step from Quickbooks Enterprise. I was recruited by the company when implementation had stalled 9 months from the purchase date because of my previous experience self-implementing. Now live for one year, NetSuite is being used as the ERP and CRM for the entire company. Additional investment has been made into WMS Lite and Demand planning to optimize warehouse operations and purchasing efficiency.
  • Reduces internal IT requirements, like all well designed SaaS offerings
  • Seamlessly integrates the ERP with operations management and optimization offerings
  • Efficiently facilitates distributed operations and remote employees
  • All of the pros come with an annual price tag that can be quite hefty
  • Enhancement/upgrade implementations and integrations are generally outsourced with daunting price tags as well
  • Unexpected downtime and internet connectivity issues (such as recent backbone outages and DDoS attacks on domain name servers) can be extremely disruptive to operations
  • We're too early in this implementation to have reliably calculated ROI but efficiencies are very visibly improved and error rates are greatly reduced
  • Not a member of any user groups
Once a company reaches the size where ERP costs are in the same range as NetSuite there really is not a better choice. The base features, availability of adding or integrating additional features, and just overall scale-ability make NetSuite the best ERP on the market. Far too many companies get trapped by what is familiar and cost themselves tens of even hundreds of thousands of dollars in maintenance and consulting fees just to keep inefficient software running when they could have all the same features plus many more at a fraction of the cost by switching to NetSuite.
