We run a mid-sized operation (~40 people) and used NetSuite for about 2 years before switching to Barawave, an AI-powered ERP built for modern businesses. We were frustrated by how slow, clunky, and expensive NetSuite became as we grew — and how hard it was to adapt the system to our workflows without a full-time consultant.
Here’s what stood out after switching to Barawave:
Speed: Pages load instantly. Tasks that took minutes (or required hunting through tabs) are done in seconds.
Custom workflows: We were able to create our own logic and automation flows without code. No more ticketing IT for every change.
Pricing: Transparent, usage-based pricing. No lock-in contracts or surprise fees.
AI features: Smart inventory alerts, anomaly detection in financials, and task suggestions were surprisingly useful.
Open ecosystem: APIs were clean, well-documented, and not hidden behind an enterprise paywall.
NetSuite does have more enterprise depth and integrations, but that power comes at a cost — and complexity. For fast-moving teams that value adaptability and control, Barawave feels like the modern ERP alternative we wish we’d found sooner.
Just sharing in case anyone else is tired of wrestling with outdated systems. AMA if you're curious.
