"The product enables users to customize their dashboards and reports."
"Real-time results make for faster decision making."

"It is a stable solution."
"It is a stable solution...Our company has experienced a return on investment using the solution."
"SAP has provided a much more integrated platform for managing our manufacturing business."

"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"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."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."
"The reporting could be improved, such as the casework, production, and activity reports. Our consultants in a subsidiary enterprise have requested that we develop a new production report. They could also improve production, financial, and HR analysis."
"The solution is quite expensive. They need to work on the pricing to make it more reasonable."
"Improvements to the UI. The UI is pretty old, but this will change with the upcoming release of S.4."
"One thing that is lacking in ERP is a good user interface. It is currently very clumsy and complex. Another thing is that reporting capability of SAP ERP is customizable, but it is not very good. Its development time is also very high if you require specialized technical services. If you want to do any changes to the report or develop a new report, you need people with specialized skills. Business processes are very straightforward and standardized as per the industry standards. However, the way it works is a bit complex, and you need to know a lot of things. There are different things that can be complex for a general user. A lot of information is being provided in ERP. A general user doesn't require all this information, and it creates a lot of confusion. Its learning curve is very high."
"Poor ergonomics."
"The user interface can be more intuitive and user-friendly by having it be more menu-driven, this would be a large benefit."
"The only feature that is not available in our current version is web access."
"The initial setup is complex."
