Third Party Applications
Best of Breed
NetSuite is often sold under the premise that it will handle all of your business requirements. The reality is: NetSuite has its strengths and weaknesses. Most NetSuite clients rely on multiple Third Party Applications to supplement their core NetSuite capabilities. The questions is, in a sea of possible competing apps, which should you choose?
Requirements
Most competing Third Party Apps will have differences in their capabilities. It’s important to understand what these apps can and can’t do when choosing the best fit.

Growth Potential
Some apps may appear to fit your existing requirements, but won’t scale with you as you continue to grow on NetSuite. You need to determine where you want to end up, when reviewing competing apps.

Cost Effectiveness
At the end of the day, native NetSuite features are generally the most cost-effective options. So you have to balance the additional cost of a Third Party App with the expanded capabilities it provides.
