Overall Satisfaction with NetSuite ERP

I have implemented NetSuite ERP 3 times in various companies. We have used all of the standard modules, AP, AR, etc. Additionally, I have used the one world (multi-subsidiary) module, ARM module and Fixed Assets module.

These have primarily been at healthcare or healthcare adjacent companies and have been in light manufacturing, and consulting environment. I have typically been the super user and project manager for these implementations.
  • Ease of use
  • Multi Subsidiary/Currency
  • Source of Truth/System of Record
  • Managerial Accounting
  • Multi-dimensional GLs
  • NetSuite ERP is good at everything, but not the best
  • Each module costs incrementally more, even if you don't use it all
  • Customizations generally require a consultant and scripting
  • Negative: it is easy to use NetSuite ERP as a data dump, minimizing ROI
  • Negative: it lacks robust planning/forecasting abilities/scenario management
  • Positive: it's out of the box solution forces questions on best practice and usually leads to positive accounting changes

NetSuite ERP is the premium product for SMB/MM companies. It's out of the box solution is easy to use, relatively simple to implement and ease to train. It is aesthetically please and has a simple UI. Overall, it sets the standard for what an ERP should be, with some limitations.
It can be limited in impact for certain industries, but generally Oracle has a solution under their umbrella to address that or you can set up an API/Direct Connection.
