It is very friendly to obtain information. It is also very easy to make the changes that we need. We have a developer with us, and he can make the required changes or rules.""This is an all-in-one ERP solution for small businesses. Everything is linked.

Cons
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10.""The tool should provide a better user interface.""Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story.""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.""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.""There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."

"Our company is expanding to different countries, and business is growing. We feel that it is not good enough for the huge volume of the business. On-premises setup is not good enough for the overseas office. We have our onsite premises in Hong Kong, but we have a major sales office in the US. We are looking for a more efficient setup to fulfill our requirements and needs. It can have portals for vendors, suppliers, and customers. I know that they have this feature in version 10, but it still has space to improve.""The installation process could be easier. They should have better tools to improve the effectiveness of the installation.""The price could improve for SAP Business One.""The reading and retrieving of data are slow in the system.""There are a lot of good improvements coming out in every version. They release a new version every quarter, with all new up-and-coming things on each one. However, it might be lacking specifications for the specific verticals. However, SAP Business One is a generic tool. It's very widely used, and I understand why it's not into each vertical. There are solution partners available out there to give it those extra areas of what it needs, but this is depending on what kind of business you run.""There are issues with inventory management and quality management.""Business One's production module has room for improvement.""You get support through the vendor, not SAP directly. If your vendor is good, you get good support. If it is not a good vendor, the support is very bad."

  • "Business One is reasonable considering the functionality."
  • "In terms of price, it's fair, but the problem is with AMC."
  • "Its price is reasonable. People are able to spend that much."

  • "We feel that the licensing fees are a bit on the higher side."
  • "We compared the Microsoft solution with Oracle NetSuite, as they have a price decrease. It is, however, not that much cheaper, and the price is comparable to SAP."
