Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Oracle NetSuite are two of the leading cloud ERP solutions for small to medium-sized enterprises. Choosing the right solution depends on your business needs, goals, and the level of flexibility and integration you require. At TVT, we help businesses make informed decisions about ERP systems that support long-term growth and operational efficiency.
ERP functionality of Business Central vs Netsuite
Business Central offers full ERP capabilities for small to medium-sized organisations. The Essentials licence includes modules for finance, CRM, supply chain, and warehouse management. The Premium licence adds manufacturing and service management capabilities.
NetSuite provides a core platform with financial and accounting functionality, and additional modules for CRM, inventory, HR, commerce, and more. These modules are licensed separately and priced individually.
Platform
Business Central can be deployed in the cloud or on-premise, offering flexibility based on your infrastructure preferences. NetSuite is a cloud-only solution.
Type of solution
Business Central is a single-tenant deployment, meaning each customer has a dedicated server and database. NetSuite is multi-tenant, with shared infrastructure but isolated data.
Keeping up to date
Business Central allows customers to choose when to apply major updates, with sandbox testing available. NetSuite rolls out updates in phases across its customer base.
Integration capability of Business Central vs NetSuite
Business Central integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 and Power Platform tools like Power BI and Power Automate. NetSuite integrates with Microsoft tools and third-party apps, but not as natively as Business Central.
Reporting capability
Business Central supports multi-dimensional analysis and integrates with Power BI for advanced reporting. NetSuite offers strong reporting tools but limits analysis to three dimensions.
Cost of Business Central vs NetSuite
Business Central uses a subscription pricing model. As of 2025, Essentials is priced at £66.40/user/month and Premium at £94.50/user/month. Team Member licences are available for limited access. Implementation and support costs vary based on business requirements.
NetSuite pricing is less transparent and depends on modules, users, and implementation scope. You’ll need to speak to a NetSuite partner for a tailored quote.

Both Business Central and NetSuite offer robust ERP capabilities. Business Central stands out for its integration with Microsoft tools, flexible deployment, and transparent pricing. At TVT, we help businesses implement ERP solutions that deliver measurable value and long-term success.
