I am in the midst of launching an ecommerce venture and am looking for feedback on Netsuite. I have looked at Everest and Quickbooks, but am leaning toward Netsuite.

Summary of my Netsuite analysis:
Pros - 1. Integration of ecommerce, CRM and accounting functions eliminates the need to integrate data from disparate systems and possibility of data entry duplication (and errors). 2. Hosting model eliminates the need for IT expertise (backups, database administration, etc.) in my company and makes upgrades simple. 3. Ecommerce/CRM functionality is more than robust enough to accomplish my business requirements. 4. Pricing fits my budget.

Cons - 1. Since Netsuite requires use of their shopping cart, users are limited to some extent with what they can do with their website (my analysis is that Netsuite's built in functionality will meet my requirements, but I'm curious if any Netsuite users have encountered this limitation). 2. Although the short term cost/benefit analysis favors Netsuite, it seems as though in the 3 - 5 year window, the cost/benefit analysis may swing the other way.

Question marks - 1. I have seen a few grumblings about Netsuite's speed - does anyone have any experience, good or bad, in that regard? 2. Netsuite claims that it is easy to migrate from it to another platform - has anyone had any bad experiences migrating FROM Netsuite? 3. I have been quoted retail pricing for the software - has anyone successfully negotiated a discount on the software (other than in exchange for payment up front on extended terms)?

I am expecting to make a decision on this in the next 1 - 2 weeks. Any comments on the above would be greatly appreciated.
