anyone use suiteanalytics connect? wondering if we need to pay for it

I believe so, at least you used to have to - it was basically akin to purchasing another module from NetSuite, had a similar recurring cost to it.

gotcha, thanks for the info! seems like I'll have to reach out to our acc. manager. don't see any enable checkbox for it

Yep that's what I'd recommend

Definitely a paid add on, but relatively reasonably priced
