Questions to ask before you choose

Which ERP is better suited for long-term scalability?

NetSuite is designed to scale with complex, multi-entity and international businesses. MYOB Acumatica can handle growth to a point but often requires third-party tools and heavier customisation as complexity increases.

How do NetSuite and MYOB differ in financial functionality?

NetSuite offers a fully integrated finance suite with native consolidation, multi-currency and real-time reporting across subsidiaries. MYOB Acumatica delivers strong core finance tools but may require manual workarounds or third-party applications to match NetSuite’s native capabilities.

What’s the difference in upgrade and maintenance experience?

NetSuite provides automatic biannual updates with full backward compatibility. MYOB Acumatica updates are customer-initiated and may require retesting of customisations or integrations, introducing downtime and versioning risk.

How do NetSuite and MYOB Acumatica compare on reporting and analytics?

NetSuite delivers role-based dashboards, real-time reporting and native analytics out of the box. MYOB Acumatica offers standard reporting tools, but deeper insights typically require third-party BI tools or added configuration.

Can both systems handle multi-entity operations?

NetSuite OneWorld is built for multi-entity consolidation, taxation and compliance across geographies. MYOB Acumatica can manage multiple entities but often lacks the automation and seamless consolidation NetSuite provides natively.
