Featured Reviews

Greg Jacob - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlines collaboration across teams and has a straightforward setup process
The platform initiates a series of processes to complete the sale, which may involve ordering equipment, providing services, and tracking necessary activities. The feature that has been most effective in improving sales performance is its alignment with the ordering team. Compared to my experience working with HubSpot, which excelled in presales and marketing but lacked integration with ERP and post-sales processes, NetSuite CRM+ stands out for its ability to streamline collaboration and information sharing across teams. It facilitates post-sales engagement by effectively providing visibility into the bill of materials and assigning responsibilities. The platform is not highly customizable like Salesforce. However, it offers sufficient flexibility for our requirements. I can easily create different views and reports and add widgets to my home screen as needed. I rate it an eight out of ten.
Styliana Araouzou - PeerSpot reviewer
Customizable, easy to configure, and reliable
My company is considered a customer and an end-user. I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using right now. It's a company that offers lots of user manuals and you can find most of your stuff there before starting development. I'd advise potential new users to go through everything. I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. By default, it comes with a really good model where you can start working with it without having a lot of developers in your team. It's a system that includes everything related to the client and you can see everything under one screen without having a different product or system. It's been great, for the most part.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Very scalable solution that provides customer relationship management, sales, and marketing functions. It's very straightforward to set up, and it supports multi-subsidiary organizations."
"We use the product for standard CRM functions like email marketing, account management, scheduling customer profiles, and marketing materials, and for integration with the Suite Commerce."
"The feature that has been most effective in improving sales performance is its alignment with the ordering team."
"NetSuite CRM+ helps us provide customer support and track schedules for field service."
"It works well with Jira. You can customize it to fit your needs."
"The most valuable features of Sugar Enterprise are the exports of graphics, statuses, complaints, and tasks."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its low cost."
"The most valuable features of the SugarCRM platform include its flexibility in customizing fields, layouts, and dashboards."
"It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory."
"The most valuable feature is relation capability, which allows us to relay customers with invoice orders."
 

Cons

"The product needs to improve the warehouse management feature."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating AI functionality to provide intuitive assistance."
"What could be improved in NetSuite CRM+ is its UI, because it's ugly. When you compare it to the Salesforce UI, the UI in Salesforce, particularly its reporting, looks better."
"NetSuite's field service automation should be updated. We should be able to fully automate the assignment of service orders to technicians."
"In the next release, I would like to see personalization of information about customers or specific businesses or opportunities."
"I would appreciate it if SugarCRM could support us in on-premise implementation."
"It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution."
"I would like to see more integration on a mobile platform in the next release."
"Sugar Enterprise could improve by removing bugs and glitches. For example, a comment was made but in the comment section, it was never displayed. However, the problems we faced might not be the fault of the solution."
"You cannot include all your entities under one instance at the moment."
"While it is already user-friendly, a slight enhancement in UI design, especially in terms of color combinations, could make the platform more visually appealing and comfortable to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other tools, you have to pay for the NetSuite CRM+ module itself. You will pay a recurring fee regardless of how many users you have, then you will pay a fee per user, per month. Its cost is not a licensing cost per user, but a module cost and a user cost."
"It ultimately depends on the features and functionalities required for your specific use case."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
