Pros

“NetSuite provides a comprehensive cloud-based ERP platform that brings financials, accounting, inventory, order management, and reporting into one system.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Anish C.

SDE

“Custom reporting is a lifesaver; I built dashboards that pull live sales data and sync with Slack alerts, cutting our weekly review time by half.”
GR

Grace R.

Finance Manager

“It is a feature-rich ERP platform that works well for businesses looking to manage finance, inventory, procurement, and operations in one place.”
AR

Ansuman R.

Ecom Manager

Pros

“It brings finance, CRM, purchasing, supply chain, project management, and HR processes together in a single system instead of requiring multiple disconnected tools”
LL

Lynne L.

Manager

“I really appreciate that SAP Business ByDesign offers a wide range of integrated modules, covering key business functions such as finance, supply chain, sales, project management, and human resources”
LJ

Lumi J.

IT Technician

“It shines in offering real-time analytics, streamlined integration across departments, and industry-specific modules that support diverse business needs.”
BC

Bien C.

Systems and Service Operation Analyst

Cons

“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.”
DC

Dirk C.

ERP administrator

“The NetSuite fully takes the painful, repetitive work out of flipping back and forth between poorly-constructed spreadsheets and clunky governmental reporting applications.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Disha k.

Account Manager

Cons

“Sometimes retrieving data for analysis that has generating reports can be very time consuming.”
CR

Cory R.

Ops

“The only con that I have found is that the product is sort of business specific, they have limited options for customizations.”
KH

Katrina H.

Logistics Manager

“One of the major issues is a high cost for small bussiness and also require more effort to learn”
