• Features - NetSuite v/s TallyPrime
• Comparison
Oracle NetSuite

TallyPrime
Tally is the largest Indian accounting software vendor and is present in emerging markets in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. TallyPrime is one of its products, a business management software for small and medium businesses. It is easy to use but it is dated and emerging businesses consider it as a difficult task to rely on Tally completely. Users deploy inefficient solutions, manage multiple manual spreadsheets, and work with poorly integrated point solutions.
NetSuite ERP v/s TallyPrime
1. One central system
TallyPrime has limitations in managing the accounting operations of a business. At the same time, NetSuite automates the business operations of a business completely and truly acts as a central system for the business.
2. Save time and money
The common difficulties faced by an organization are the entry of employees spend hours through manual processes, creation of invoices to fill out complicated spreadsheets leading to wastage of time, often human mistakes, invoice questions asking for solutions, and end-of-month crises. With NetSuite, it reduces your cost in manual processes and completely automates your business processes, saving time and making your business efficient.
3. Grow your business
Multiple applications and different drawbacks of TallyPrime utilized by different departments and enterprises result in chaos due to its inefficiency in driving the business and providing 360-degree visibility of the business. At the same time, NetSuite offers a real-time view of all your business processes from everywhere and accelerates your business.
4. Increase visibility
Unconnected and multiple systems make it difficult to get valuable feedback and a detailed view of your business operations. Storing a set of data in Tally and keeping other important updated information elsewhere can lead to complexities, data securing, and a serious lack of reporting. NetSuite as a single system stores all your data securely and enables easy access to the users.
5. Reduce IT complexity
As a single accounting product, TallyPrime faces a lot of burdens with different workarounds, distinct and inefficient integrated applications. This leads to a split hairball that is difficult to handle. With NetSuite, businesses can overcome the IT complexities in a cost-effective way and accelerate their business in an efficient manner.
6. Boost efficiency, boost sales
With TallyPrime, your business will not be as dynamic and responsive. At the same time, NetSuite is highly responsive and powerful to enhance the efficiency of a business and boost its sales. NetSuite manages the operations of business completely by eliminating all its manual processes to make them efficient.
7. Audit your business
FOs and business owners are at risk from poor security, auditability, and the ability to modify data on a pre-emptive basis with TallyPrime. NetSuite offers complete security for your data and manages expenses in an efficient way and helps to audit the expenses easily.
