    NetSuite ERP isn't comparable to QuickBooks Online or Xero as they are lightweight software and NetSuite ERP can do quite a heavy lift. Sage Intacct wasn't as modern and reporting was more difficult.

    QuickBooks Online is, by far, a better and easier-to-use product for smaller companies. Only switch to Netsuite if you have to. We switched to NetSuite because we have numerous subsidiaries, and QuickBooks would not be able to handle the complexity.
