The IDC MarketScape report analyzed the functional capabilities and go-to-market strategies of finance and accounting application vendors. Vendors were evaluated on criteria such as user experience, scalability, and capabilities to support advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and predictive analytics for financial management. Vendor positions are based on end-user/customer experience, detailed surveys and interviews with vendors, and publicly available information.

The report noted, “NetSuite was developed with the ability to adapt to both product-based and service-based businesses from its inception. This is in contrast to solutions developed to cater to one or the other that then must adapt and add functionality to keep up with client needs.” The report also noted, “NetSuite’s holistic approach is oriented around the client’s industry and roles within that industry and includes all industry-specific functionalities required to successfully run a business.”
