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. It is a one-vendor solution, where other vendors need other software systems from multiple vendors."
"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"With Epicor, we can call a pitch between Epicor and the PLM database, which is a significant advantage."
"Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful."
"The product enables users to customize their dashboards and reports."
"Real-time results make for faster decision making."
"There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization."
"Epicor ERP is an easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable feature is financial control. The accounting aspect allows us to manage our clients and payments."
"It is a tried and tested ERP system which if used correctly, is definitely a very good program for managing all aspects of a business from customer sales, and receivables management, to payable management and finance reporting. So, it's super critical for any mid-sized company."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It's enhanced by a subscription billing add-on, to efficiently automate billing and invoicing, particularly due to our substantial customer database."
"We have gained the capability to control and address various issues within the financial module effectively."
"The fixed assets, payroll, the data module, and user-friendliness are most valuable."
"I haven't used it a lot, but the best thing is that the processes are very detailed."
"It is strong in integration."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"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."
"The issue we're encountering is that it's primarily designed for independent installations and not initially structured as a cloud-based solution, which has led to challenges with connectivity."
"This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time."
"Many of our customers are migrating to the cloud rather than staying on-premises."
"As for room for improvement, they have different modules, project and analytical accounting, but it will be good to have that kind of part in the standard package. To have that additional reporting functionality where you can add an attribute or something, which you can report again. So you can analyze the cost by not just natural accounts but also by a project, without having to go through another module edit on top and then the other module edit on top. The more modules you add, sometimes it doesn't work that well. Additionally, it would be easier to have the solution on the cloud. That's our consideration. We are trying to move all our systems to the cloud, and GP is one of them that we are going to move in the next couple of years. I would rate the solution seven or seven point five out of ten."
"The biggest problem with GP is that it's not cloud based and it doesn't lend itself to subscription licensing. But Microsoft wants everything in the cloud and licensed on a subscription basis.Even tThough GP can be deployed on a cloud server, but basically, it's a Windows based product. It uses the older model and companies purchase the program and pay a 16-18 sixteen- eighteen percent annual renewal fee but Microsoft wants everybody to pay monthly or annual renewal fees on a subscription basis."
"Dynamics GP could be improved in terms of its usability and modernization."
"As technology changes, I would say probably in the area of chart up account needs improvement because chart up account is a string. So if they make it more flexible."
"There should also be extra redundancy when posting to modules. We use different sets of books such as CashBook and CheckBooks therefore if I select the wrong one the solution allows the transaction to just pass without warning."
