Tatarinov said Microsoft has seen customers switching back after their first year with NetSuite after “getting a pretty bad taste of their kind of inability to serve true enterprise needs.” The remarks also trashed the entire cloud crew when he said that “We don't see NetSuite, or a few other similar type of vendors, as somebody who can be serving committed ERP workloads.” Of course, when you’re a company that doesn’t have true cloud offerings, there might be some incentive to bash the whole category. Tatarinov also dismissed efforts by companies that aggregate ERP products. “It's all a fight for who collects bigger maintenance checks,” he said and added that aggregators have not spent much effort making products more modern.
