"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"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."

"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"Implementing SAP ERP can be very costly, particularly for smaller organizations with limited resources."
"The system is very big. It is not exactly user-friendly, due to the fact that it's so massive and complex."
"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."
"Pricing could be improved for preferred customers."
"When evaluating the current version I am using now, the SAP GUI is old-style and needs to be replaced with something more modern and easy to use. However, the SAP GUI is very optimized for connection networks and is extremely good. Many people would like to have a WebGUI or something else to have access in a different way. Additionally, there could be some drag and drop functionality added because these features are normally in any website that this solution does not have."
"The production system must be upgraded."
"I would like to see the customization of the reports become easier to work with instead of having technical support have to assist us."
"The initial setup of SAP ERP is complex and it took a lot of time."
