"Releasing data from the cloud into RDBMS"

4/5

What do you like best about Sesame Software?

The access to NetSuite data in raw data form beats the hell out of using the NetSuite API in terms of both performance and flexibility. As far as I know, Relational Junction has the only solution out there that will allow you to back up all your NetSuite objects and data into a relational database. That capability helps us not only with reporting, but also with compliance around DR for larger customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sesame Software?

Inconsistent turn around on issues from support - there are only a few people in the company and only one or two who write the code and support the product, so it can take a good deal of time to solve issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sesame Software:

If you need a full BI layer, RJ4NS is not the product for you - this tool allows you to back up all your NS objects into a relational database then query them with as many parameters as you can specify via SQL. You still have to do the transformation of this data into actionable information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sesame Software solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reporting on key performance indicators and financial performance across numerous record types, which is not possible in Native NetSuite. Before we implemented Relational Junction for NetSuite (RJ4NS), there was not way for us to tie together related data that spanned more than two record types. Saved searches were not getting it done for us. RJ4NS allowed us to automate our EDI billing, to provide actionable intelligence to our office managers across the company for day to day operations, and, to develop customer profiles that we can use for sales and marketing to increase revenue.

"Relational Junction sync with Salesforce"

5/5

What do you like best about Sesame Software?

1. The Relational Junction setup and interface is very easy to use. I've been able to apply filter for uploading to ensure certain fields are not updated, schedule downloads to highly used objects are more frequently updated while less critical objects and my ability to manage the database as needed for my business.

2. The audit feature is AMAZING. I have a ton of certainty that all the data has been processed and when we have issues the audit function cleans up the discrepancies.

3. The price is very affordable when looking at other options like Heroku Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sesame Software?

The notifications when the system hangs (doesn't have any errors) is lacking. I would like to have the ability to set a timeframe that the system should be in "running" mode. If the time is exceeded I should get a notification so I can login and make sure the system isn't having issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sesame Software:

Pricing, pricing, pricing. RJ is feature rich with a low annual cost overhead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sesame Software solving and how is that benefiting you?

RJ has allowed us to process the sales processed in Salesforce without the fear of data loss. Before we used the Salesforce API which could get behind or sync transactions out of order. Additionally the core analytics of Salesforce just didn't meet our needs. This product provides access to the data so we can use on our systems to generate reports and analysis.

"Relational Junction Review"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Sesame Software?

I really like that it gives us direct access to our NetSuite data. Sometimes it is much quicker and convienient to query the data instead of building native reports or saved searches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sesame Software?

I wish we could write back to NetSuite instead of it just being a one-way sync. I have heard that they might have something in the works that will allow us to make changes to NetSuite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sesame Software solving and how is that benefiting you?

We recently used Relation Junction's copy of our NetSuite database as the source of our data migration efforts to our new CRM system Salesforce. We were able to build SQL scripts to pull the data out of the RJ database and populate it in Salesforce directly. It made the migration task much simpler and organized.
