Improves operational efficiency and data discipline but struggles with localization and complex planning
I see a few areas that can be improved. The localization is not good; for local taxes and statutory compliances, manual work is being done and other packages are being integrated for tax purposes. From the localization perspective, there is quite a good amount of work to be done. In the production planning area, Epicor ERP cannot handle complex planning situations, which for this organization became very complex, requiring a lot of customizations. Analytics are not being used, and the standard reports are not that great, so management reports are being built independently. Technical support from Epicor ERP could be better. The issue with support is in terms of response time as well as quality.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The three most crucial pieces are the financial modules, the banking module, and the management module."
"The tool's usability is straightforward."
"I have found the solution has many valuable features such as a user-friendly mobile platform, notification settings, and the ability to do many customizations."
"It is an affordable ERP system and rich in functionality, providing good control of processes."
"Epicor ERP paid for itself in the first year and a half, and continued to make the company lean and more profitable by providing tools to manage business operations better, such as production scheduling, finance, and estimating products."
"The ability to deploy through a generic implementation with proper configuration."
"With Epicor, we can call a pitch between Epicor and the PLM database, which is a significant advantage."
"For the past two years, my focus has been fully on Epicor ERP, and there are many new features which we did not deploy in our platform."
"The positive impacts I see from Epicor ERP include operational efficiency and productivity improvement; these are the two major things, and the major benefit is the data discipline and the usage of data in a meaningful way."
"I have seen companies triple their business using Epicor in just a few years."
"The solution is great for production planning because everything is out of the box. It smoothly handles the process from engineering to ERP, including version management and subcontracting. These features aren't in NetSuite."
"Epicor ERP is an easy-to-use solution."
 

Cons

"The system has enough controls, but still there is scope for improvement."
"Improvements could be made regarding user-friendliness and transitioning fully to a web version. Features like forex reconciliation and a cash flow planning module could enhance the solution."
"The build-in dashboard and reporting customization should be improved."
"The reporting Module should be improved and a drag and drop functionality should be added."
"The main challenge with implementing Epicor ERP is finding the right partners, especially in Europe."
"The inventory module needs to be improved as it is not that easy to use."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"Yes, we would get crashes relatively often."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"The UI is quite logical, but it needs time to train users because some functions are complex to understand. As for cons, some calculation logic is difficult to grasp and requires time to test and try out. Creating dashboards or reports needs some technical IT knowledge."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool; it is hard to use right now because it has a lot of customizations, and we are having issues pulling the reports."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten. Customizations can cost you extra money."
"The solution is moderately priced. The licensing cost is around sixty thousand USD for annual maintenance. If you're using an application-specific license, it is a little cheaper. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The price of the solution is fair compared to competitors."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
"We bought an on-premise version of the solution. The cloud version is different. I've looked into it, but it's very competitive on the low end of the market."
"Pricing isn't a big problem for the solution - I haven't seen them lose deals because of it."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
