Comparison

A NetSuite alternative for UK businesses

Why many UK businesses looking at NetSuite also consider Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Why businesses look for a NetSuite alternative

NetSuite is a well-known cloud ERP. Businesses comparing options often want to know how it stacks up against Microsoft's equivalent, especially if they already use Microsoft 365.

Business Central covers the same core areas, finance, sales, purchasing, stock and projects, and works natively with Outlook, Excel, Teams, Power BI and Copilot. It is also sold and supported through a network of local partners.

Try Business Central in an environment built around your business

Most trials drop you into a generic demo company that looks nothing like the way you actually work. Ours doesn't. We configure your free trial around your business and the use case you care about, so you and your team can test real scenarios with data and processes you recognise.

It starts with a short questionnaire about your industry, your current systems and what you want to prove out. Once that's back with us, your tailored trial can usually be made available within a few working days. Prefer a guided walkthrough first? A standard demo is still on the table - just tell us which you'd like.
