Reporting and analytics over everything the system holds — statutory statements, ad hoc queries, dashboards, and the export route into whatever warehouse the business already runs. The question is rarely whether reports exist, but whether finance can change one without a consultant.
Stackmark rates Oracle NetSuite’s business intelligence as core: built and sold by the vendor as part of the suite.
The tier is read from the vendor’s own documentation, cited below, and says how the module is delivered — not how well it works for a given company. That is what the demonstration questions are for.
Can a controller build and change a report without developer help, and does that report survive the next upgrade?
Do reports run against live transactional data or a replica, and how far behind can the replica get?
What is the supported way to get raw data into our own warehouse — an API, a scheduled extract, a direct read?
Are row-level permissions enforced in reporting, so an entity manager cannot query the whole group?
