Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of Epicor ERP are ease of use, powerful API, and comprehensive integration.

"Epicor ERP is an easy-to-use solution."
"There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization."
"The speed of executing reports has increased significantly. We no longer need day-minus-one business processing."
"S/4HANA offers a lot of additional capability with respect to performance due to its in-built architecture for many functions including finance, production, quality, manufacturing, inventory or sales distribution and logistics."

"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"There's a new version of the solution that has some bugginess. They're cleaning that up. The user interface is an area that needs improvement and they're improving."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"If S4HANA has more AI and machine learning, it will be better and easier for reporting and dashboarding."
"I would like to see the AI included to help from a data standpoint."
"There are some problems with the support provided for the solution, so it is not quite easy. It takes some time for them to offer us support."
"I think the user interface still needs improvement. While efforts are being made to enhance and make it more user-friendly, there are still shortcomings. Fiori is a great step forward, but work must be done. So, I believe SAP S/4HANA should focus more on improving GUI access. We also had a difficult time migrating the fixed assets."
"The solution could have a better user experience. However, they are working a lot on the user experience and they have come up with various applications, such as mobile applications. This was lacking over the last two years."
"In a feature release, they could improve by adding budgetary features."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"So, there is room for improvement in pricing. HANA is not a simple product; it's quite complex by design."
