### "Don't use unless you want to waste employee's time"

November 18, 2024

2.0

Pros

The API would automatically update the timesheet from Dev Ops if it wasn't broken (which it regularly was)

Cons

Clunky, unintuitive layout, boxes too small to read the values entered, too many buttons.

### "NetSuite OpenAir Review from an admin perspective"

February 25, 2019

5.0

I'm very happy with OpenAir and the extend to which it could be customized to the needs of the specific corporate organization. It is designed to cover a lot of corporate processes which gives it the potential to make it a primary corporate tool.

Pros

One of the main advantages of OpenAir is extend to which it could be customized to the clients needs. It also can be eintegrated with other business systems that an organization uses - for example SAP. This is a huge advantage because it saves a lot of manual work especially for the accounting department.

Cons

OpenAir is not very user friendly. also its design is not enough intuitive. What is more the new GUI is very confusing for users used to the previous design. One more drawback is that the OpenAir mobile app is not very convenient. It needs further development to make it equally useful as the web app.

### "Meh..."

February 1, 2019

4.0

Pros

I've used mostly for time tracking, and not seen the admin access/reporting. However, from an end user perspective, it's basically the same as every other time tracking suite.

Cons

the UX seems a bit outdated compared to many others.

### "Hard to use but good features"

December 22, 2018

3.0

Painful at first, and even still to this day, but data is all organized and clean.

Pros

Great features and tracking of expenses, time, etc. Secure, we used it with SSO Mobile app

Cons

So hard to get used to. Not intuitive. Things aren't where you would expect them to be. Slow at times.

### "its a typical tracking app"

July 18, 2017

4.0

transparent time tracking

Pros

it helps track all client billable hours and notes and can pull in data from SFDC. I can break out hours per day and comment per each

Cons

not as customizable as I would like. I wish we could turn some of the "features" off. Forcing comments makes my time entry quite tedious

December 27, 2022

5.0

Pros

designed to seamlessly integrate with other NetSuite products, making it easier for businesses to manage their financial and operational data in one place. Easy financial reports generation. Makes OPEX calculation simpler and more reliable.

Cons

Its price makes it very difficult to be used by small and mid-range companies

### "OpenAir is a great new tool for project accounting"

October 31, 2019

5.0

After implementation this is a great tool for project accounting and I would recommend to anyone where project accounting is a large part of business.

Pros

NetSuite has added so many great features with OpenAir. The original Projects in NetSuite were not very robust but this tool handles so many processes.

Cons

It can be difficult to keep buying addons for your NetSuite instance. The OpenAir module requires implementation and cannot just be plugged in.

4.0

\* strong PSA tool which covers most of the project management aspects including task management, scheduling, resource management, timesheet, billing and invoicing, expense management, revenue tracking etc.

Cons

### "Great Timesheet Program"

December 14, 2017

4.0

Pros

This is a pretty easy interface to navigate through to record and keep track of all your hours and PTO for projects.

Cons

It's difficult and not intuitive when it comes to trying to edit your hours after submitting your timesheet. It's also a little cumbersome that you can't record some of your hours ahead of time if you know you'll be on PTO.

### "OpenAir is NOT Fully Integrated w/ NetSuite"

January 24, 2019

2.0

Pros

The customer support team has been great, likely because we have had so many issues.

Cons

The usability, the fact that is was advertised and sold to us as fully integrated with NetSuite (it's parent company which houses all financials) and the increasingly common issues that arise for no reason.

### "Powerful in theory, but execution and performance are major letdowns"

March 30, 2026

2.0

Overall, the transition to NetSuite has been a struggle. The combination of system lag and a failed implementation has hurt our productivity rather than helping it. It feels like we are paying for a premium enterprise solution but receiving subpar support and performance.

Pros

NetSuite is a comprehensive tool that technically houses all business data in one place, which is why we chose it.

Cons

"The system performance is extremely poor; we deal with constant lag that significantly slows down our daily tasks. Additionally, the functionality does not align with our actual business processes because the implementation team was not helpful. They didn't take the time to understand our workflows, and we were left with a system that feels like a 'round peg in a square hole.' We also received almost no training, which has made adoption difficult and frustrating for the entire team

### "NetSuite OpenAir"

November 14, 2024

3.0

Overall OpenAir has been tedious when it comes to using it for timekeeping and keeping track of projects. The reporting out of the system is lacking, therefore, have to use separate smartsheets in order to keep up with project assignments. There currently isn't functionality that allows for auto approval, which other platforms allow for.

Pros

The ability to have multiple timesheets available for the same time period.

Cons

Having to add notes for each and every activity when tracking time.

### "OPenAir for Services Organizations"

November 8, 2024

4.0

Have used it manage our projects, billing and time tracking for 5+ years integrated with Netsuite. AS the organization has evolved we have had to push OpenAir to limitations of the system to conform to current and evolving business processes

Pros

OpenAir has robust capabilities when implemented from the groun dup properly thinking of future use and change in mind

Cons

Custom reporting and data can sometime be hard to extract for exact end user reports

### "There are way better products in the market."

August 25, 2021

2.0

We were trying to run a 150+ consulting firm and outside of time tracking/project tracking/invoicing, there was very little of the product that we could use. Even the parts we were using were quite clunky.

Pros

This product is very configurable but be careful... one change can have a significant impact. In my view, it was too configurable but at least it wasn't "what you see is what you get". Time tracking was ok.

Cons

Pretty much everything. The reporting module was horrible. Resource management was clunky. The product seems to never evolve or change. This is a big company so don't expect personalized treatment.

### "Perfect Software for a service company"

September 13, 2022

5.0

I used the software for 15 years and I had a wonderful experience using the softwarw.

Pros

The ease of use. I was able to learn the software quite easily and quickly.

Cons

To be honest, I did not dislike anything about it. I loved all the features that I used.

Reason for choosing NetSuite SuiteProjects Pro

Openair was more cost-effective.

### "Good riddance!"

January 21, 2020

3.0

Pros

My company used this software for almost 13 years. It wasn't completely awful, as evidenced by the fact that we stuck with it for as long as we did, but I don't have a lot of good things to say about it. It was visually appealing, and once you got the hang of it, the navigation became somewhat intuitive. That's about it.

Cons

This software is cumbersome and rigid, and there are so many simple functions that it can't do that it's hard to understand why wasted their time making everything else so complex. The customer service is AWFUL - long waits to talk to people who are reading from a script. Their online help forum, SuiteAnswers, is equally bad. Most of the information is ancient. However, as I think about it, that probably doesn't matter, because OpenAir hasn't made any significant changes to its platform for many years, despite the fact that they said over and over and over that an update was right around the corner. The very worst thing about it is the astronomically high price. For between 15 - 20 users we were paying over $20K/year. It was overwhelming to think about changing since we had so much data stored in the system, but we have finally taken the leap not to renew our contract and move to BigTime, and I couldn't be happier.

### "Best expensive and project management tool"

June 30, 2020

5.0

Good software for maintaining expense and project time management and reporting tool.

Pros

Very easy to use and it is very easy to pull reports like time sheets and utilization in scheduled basis.Also easy to evaluate Vacation OFF timing of resource and it will help on OPEX cost estimations and tracking.overall user interface is good and easy to generate reports.easy to integrate with JIRA.

Cons

Not really much but sometimes I feel they can do little more improvements on user interface and sometime it is little time taking method for editing submitted time-sheets.

### "Great Time Keeping and PM Software"

February 12, 2021

5.0

My overall experience has been great. The tool has reduced the time and energy needed to complete these often labor intensive and activities and freed up my time to do more value added work.

Pros

This software is perfect for time tracking, project management and invoicing for a professional services organization. It reduces administrative overhead time by seamlessly integrating all of these critical functions. By setting up your projects on the front-end, it allows your organization to more effectively manage your team and projects.

Cons

The software is an optimal solution for full integration for project management and administration; however, it did take some time to learn all of the idiosyncrasies of the tool. Once you get proficient, the software is a dream.

Reason for choosing NetSuite SuiteProjects Pro

NetSuite offered the best overall integrated solution to solve my organization's needs.

### "Looks like something out of the 80s"

April 22, 2021

2.0

We needed to track our time on projects for billing purposes.

Pros

I can't say many positive things about this, it kept the timesheet data recorded. It was relatively easy to add new client and jobs.

Cons

It was NOT user friendly. The tabs and user interface made no sense. The drop downs didn't toggle well and data would have to be refreshed all together to get the correct information in the drop down in case you wanted to see a different client. Just clunky and difficult for no reason. We never used it for more than that and they increased the price substantially despite our light use. We cancelled and went with another service.
