We performed a comparison between Microsoft Dynamics AX and NetSuite ERP based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Activity Based Costing Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."AX is nearly a Tier One product, so implementations are long, but there's a lot of flexibility. Also, the ability to handle different issues found in larger organizations."
"Technical support is very good."
"Dynamics AX provides a lot of functionality."
"It is flexible and cost-effective."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The tool's most valuable feature is reporting."
"Flexibility is the best feature. Because we have the source code, we can develop our ideas. It enables us to develop new functions."
"Supply Chain Management is an excellent feature."
"I like the ease of setup and customization of forms."
"We leverage the core platform but are able to add additional functionality for ease of use, tailored processes, and industry related reporting."
"NetSuite ERP is good for a trading company that involves buying and selling."
"It's integrated into everything well so you can navigate and use it in a very simple way."
"I would say that the solution is highly configurable."
"I am impressed with the product's ease of use. It also helps us reduce the techstack."
"The project management aspect and the timesheets are valuable, especially for ensuring that our milestone billings are automated properly. From a manufacturing perspective, it is more to do with the entire management of the inventory, the overall finance, consolidation of books of accounts, and managing the profit and loss in a more effective manner."
"We can install the bundles based on our needs."
"If I had to add something in the next release, it would probably be a mobile application for a sister application of Dynamics 365; not the ERP but the Dynamics 365 HR solution. It would definitely help if we could have Microsoft or a Microsoft partner introduce a mobile application for it."
"There is room for improvement in the licensing model and associated costs of this solution."
"The on-premises and desktop versions are not user-friendly."
"Microsoft Dynamics AX can improve system performance and security. The security is basic and needs a lot of improvement."
"The product is standardised across industries so it is not a good fit for all types of sectors."
"Microsoft needs more presence in our region to help with management and maintenance."
"The integration could improve for the future."
"There is no Arabic interface in Microsoft Business Central, which is a big weak point."
"Improvement-wise, it should be more customizable. Currently, you can't enhance the product yourself in terms of development for any applications unless you've got a very strong and big development team. Those are the skills that are in very short supply."
"NetSuite ERP's UI could be improved. There are some features that are very complex that do not have to be. There are some aspects of the solution that could be simplified and this can include the documentation. Since it's a very complex tool, you expect to have great detailed documentation to help you implement it."
"There is a lot of room for improvement. Multiple manufacturing features need to be updated on NetSuite. More functionalities need to be added. I think there are a lot of functionalities coming out for warehouse management systems and manufacturing automation via advanced manufacturing functionalities. I think they need to improve a little more on those aspects and make it easier on the scheduling aspect."
"If you do go through an implementor, you need to be careful that they are actual implementors and not just resellers."
"If they could provide more integration options to connect with different products, that would be ideal."
"The communication has been peculiar, and the overall commercial process has been less than satisfactory."
"As with any system offering large volumes of data, there are limitations on processing large volumes of data in custom ways."
"An area for improvement in NetSuite ERP is its accounting functionality because it has certain limitations. You can't maintain sub-ledgers or post accrued expenses in sub-ledger forms, so you'll need to post in journals. The pricing is another area that can be improved in NetSuite ERP because the pricing was lower when it wasn't part of Oracle, but after Oracle acquired Netsuite and NetSuite ERP was offered as a cloud service, the price went up."
