Accounting Manager

Cons

GL

Giann L.

ERP Supervisor

“The UI feels cluttered when I try to drill down into inventory levels, and the learning curve for the advanced financial modules is steeper than expected, so I had to spend extra hours training.”
GR

Grace R.

Finance Manager

“During peak usage periods, the lag becomes even more noticeable, making it difficult for teams to work efficiently under time pressure — especially during month-end close or busy operational periods. While NetSuite is a powerful cloud-based platform, the performance doesn’t always reflect that power in day-to-day use.”
