We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"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.""There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization.""Real-time results make for faster decision making.""The ability to deploy a generic implementation without advanced customization.""Epicor ERP is an easy-to-use solution.""Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful.""With Epicor, we can call a pitch between Epicor and the PLM database, which is a significant advantage.""Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."

"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.""The solution offers integrations with other software as well. We have integration with Microsoft Office where we can do Word and Excel, etc.""It is strong in integration.""The most valuable feature is the ability to easily update and maintain accurate data across all aspects of our operations.""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.""The stability was reliable."

Cons
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10.""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.""Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people.""In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing.""There are some glitches in Epicor ERP.""I would like to see a better reporting tool.""Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."

More Epicor ERP Cons →

"It requires a lot of expertise to implement.""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.""Dynamics GP could be improved in terms of its usability and modernization.""With payroll, the payroll that they have offers US or Canadian tax. However, here, our tax payments are different from the US and Canada. It is very difficult to put in our tax tables. We need some customization. It should be readily available for any country to use according to their tax implications. The system should know different types of tax regimes around the world so that it can accommodate. It's a little bit rigid on that.""Many of our customers are migrating to the cloud rather than staying on-premises.""What could be improved is the functionality of Dynamics GP because it requires a lot of development by the programmers and the company in order to integrate into a solution.""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.""It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. ​"
