Has anyone had good experiences with NetSuite Planning & Budgeting? Or even just "eh it works fine for us" experiences? I've seen lots of negative stuff about it, but that's a little skewed I'm guessing since people obviously are more likely to complain about shortcomings than talk something up. Unless it's really good.

you could shout into the void of the #C02BF0PFB1Q channel and see if anyone answers. My place uses PBCS which is powerful, but a whole other system in of itself to learn, and FP&A keeps telling me nspb doesn't do what they need, but they won't tell me what that is so 🤷♂️ but I'd be interested if anyone else has unbiased answers for you

Wait...I thought NetSuite Planning and Budgeting was PBCS. They're two different things?

The NSPB integration with NS involves a ton of saved searches and scripts/deployments (Suitelets, User Event, Map/Reduce, Scheduled Script, Client Script, Portlets) including an integration role and integration record as well as user access tokens.

Our FP&A seems happy enough with PBCS

I heard the only difference is they limited the numbers of models in NSPB to push big companies to PBCS which is a more expensive license.

So is PBCS an 'upgrade' of NSPB then? The stuff I'm finding on Google is confusing because many articles I'm seeing seem to be kind of using the terms interchangeably.
