Integration tools streamline financial operations and enhance data management
The most beneficial feature in Workato is its accessibility. The interface is easily understandable even for a common user, unlike the NetSuite ERP direct website which requires more technical knowledge. In Workato, NetSuite ERP provides options for new employee records, invoice reports, and batch files processing. The batch processing capability allows handling up to 10,000 records simultaneously, which reduces tasks and processing time significantly. Regarding scalability, NetSuite ERP offers excellent options and reduces manual interventions through automation. In the past three months, I have observed improvements in their options and data storage capabilities, showing enhanced scalability compared to previous versions.

Zuora Developer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Streamlines subscription billing and workflows but has needed clearer docs and lower certification costs
I do not focus on Zuora revenue recognition features. Zuora's documentation from the knowledge center is somewhat complicated and should be simplified for beginner-level users who are ready to learn. Sandbox features and workflow settings need enhancement. Zuora's integration can be tricky. With hands-on experience, understanding where features are located makes the process automatic. Without hands-on experience, integration takes considerable time. Although the integration is smooth, it depends heavily on hands-on experience. Providing exact pricing figures for Zuora is challenging because it uses a tiered structure with standard plans. Zuora should improve access to premium support and add-on modules with standard and professional plans by creating easier, balanced feature models. I typically participate in Zuora's initial setup and deployment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a cloud-based ERP tool with minimal downtime and it can be accessed from anywhere in the world."
"NetSuite ERP is a user-friendly cloud-based solution that posts into the GL in real time. You can see your profitability at the order level."
"You should go for it. You won't regret it! This is the best solution."
"The most valuable feature in NetSuite ERP is the user interface."
"I have found there to be many features, such as manufacturing, accounting, financials, inventory, and purchasing."
"NetSuite is a better value than some competing solutions. The fee structure is simpler, and other ERP solutions don't offer as many options for configuration."
"I have found there to be many features, such as manufacturing, accounting, financials, inventory, and purchasing."
"The most valuable feature in NetSuite ERP is the user interface."
"Zuora has positively impacted our organization by significantly reducing manual efforts, and we just need to keep our data healthy and that is all."
"I like the automated bill generation feature."
"Zuora's payment platform includes several integrated components that ensure security, reliability, and efficiency with transactions."
"The tool's most valuable aspect is its evolution. When I first worked on it, it was a simple platform that handled accounts and basic invoicing. Over the years, I've seen many changes that have enabled it to support complex projects. The help desk now provides solutions for these projects, which wasn't initially possible. The most important thing about Zuora is its ability to handle complexity through workflows, essentially automating the invoicing process."
"Zuora supports multiple pricing models. There are one-time usages, flat fees, per unit, tiered, and consumption-based models."
"​It is some of the most responsive support that I have encountered.​"
"We have so many options for reporting, whether you want structured data or automation."
"Zuora is perfect for managing customer accounts, payments, and billing, as everything happens on time and their customer support is good, so I would definitely recommend Zuora."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved. The latest technology can be used to improve the list view of records and load pages faster on a browser."
"In terms of the main improvement to NetSuite is the talent itself. It's grown so fast and there are about 25,000 companies running on it, and it's a relatively newer system compared to other competitors. It's growing so fast that the talent base in the partner organization (there's about 200 of them), is pretty thin."
"It would be great if they offered localization for Central America."
"There are still some bugs in some of the modules. Sometimes the system shows unexpected behavior."
"What needs to be improved is the development in the other areas and other businesses that can use NetSuite."
"An area for improvement in NetSuite ERP is its accounting functionality because it has certain limitations."
"I have faced OPI issues during peak times when pushing and pulling data becomes very slow due to API limitations."
"The system is quite slow overall; sometimes I wait thirty, forty, or fifty seconds for a screen to refresh."
"It would be beneficial to have an improved dashboard."
"It would benefit from more features designed to recoup revenue in B2C scenarios."
"I would build dynamic retry functionalities directly into the core product and enhance their integrations with all payment gateways."
"The documentation that has been provided exists, but it is not particularly useful."
"I believe the pricing is quite high for some companies using Zuora."
"Some areas that could be improved include the API rate limit."
"Unlike Zoho, the main page doesn't contain everything. You have to click a button to reveal multiple options; even within those, there are further layers of options to navigate through."
"While fetching the data, I had faced some issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is completely on a subscription basis. We pay yearly and, and you do not have to do anything on a monthly basis. Prices depend on the organization's scale and all those things, but they are doing a good job with the pricing."
"When people buy ERP, it's a competitive situation and the pricing is paramount."
"The price is less than the cost of daily hours."
"NetSuite ERP has a cost per module you want to use, and then you have the license per user."
"It is expensive."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"Pricing for NetSuite ERP is okay, but it could be better. The licensing model for NetSuite ERP is based on the number of modules and users. The standard license covers up to twenty-five users. If you have more than twenty-five users, you'll have to buy the premium license, which would double the price. For one module with five user licenses, the cost is between $40,000 to $50,000."
"I would advise that you first meet with and scope out your project with a NetSuite VAR (Value Added Reseller)."
"Negotiate aggressively. Continue to push on cost until you feel comfortable.​"
"Explore multiple options for implementation."
"The solution is worth the price."
"The tiered pricing model is costly."
