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

"I have found there to be many features, such as manufacturing, accounting, financials, inventory, and purchasing."
"NetSuite ERP has dramatically improved our organization. We went from QuickBooks to NetSuite. You can compare this transition to changing from tennis shoes to a flying car."
"We leverage the core platform but are able to add additional functionality for ease of use, tailored processes, and industry related reporting."
"Every year, they release a new version."
"We were able to implement NetSuite and the apps and the integrations for under $500,000 for the entire new system, achieving a net savings of $500,000 a year with more modern technology that worked better for them and without needing a team of three tier-one experts on staff to manage the system."
"You should go for it. You won't regret it! This is the best solution."
"The project management aspect and the timesheets are valuable, especially for ensuring that our milestone billings are automated properly."
"First of all, it's really easy to use."
"It's an end-to-end solution for managing subscriptions."
"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."
"Automated invoicing is great and makes the process easier than it was five years ago."
"I like that the UI is great and easily explainable."
"It has made billing a reliable business function and provided the structure needed to optimize all of our billing processes."
"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."
"Zuora has positively impacted my organization as it is primarily used for financial records, including billings and other business needs for the business team."
"I am happy with the support team."
 

Cons

"The CRM module just does the basics."
"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."
"NetSuite is good for data management, but it's missing payroll features."
"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."
"The manufacturing aspect needs to improve."
"If they could provide more integration options to connect with different products, that would be ideal."
"Technical support is very weak. That's because, once again, they've hired a bunch of kids."
"The communication has been peculiar, and the overall commercial process has been less than satisfactory."
"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."
"Some areas that could be improved include the API rate limit."
"It would be beneficial to have an improved dashboard."
"When we raise global support tickets, we receive delayed responses."
"While fetching the data, I had faced some issues."
"​It would benefit from more features designed to recoup revenue in B2C scenarios."
"Very rarely, maybe once every two months, the platform might be slow for a day or two. We usually receive notifications about these issues, which seem to stem from connectivity errors or similar issues."
"The documentation that has been provided exists, but it is not particularly useful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"NetSuite ERP has a cost per module you want to use, and then you have the license per user."
"The price of the solution is quite high."
"The price is less than the cost of daily hours."
"Regarding costs, it's not just about licensing. Customization recurring costs can become expensive over five to eight years, especially with new releases. However, NetSuite ERP integrates well with third-party applications, so it can still be used for finance while another ERP is used for localized production."
"It is expensive."
"When people buy ERP, it's a competitive situation and the pricing is paramount."
"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."
"It's very competitively priced due to it being a subscription model. So, clients are quite happy with the pricing. I would rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"Negotiate aggressively. Continue to push on cost until you feel comfortable.​"
"The tiered pricing model is costly."
"The solution is worth the price."
"Explore multiple options for implementation."
