Featured Reviews

reviewer2758776 - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
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.

Senior Law Enforcement Executive at a comms service provider with 201-500 employees
Offers inventory management, basic ERP functions but outdated interface
The interface looks a bit outdated. Epicor acquired iScala, which was originally developed in Sweden. I'm unsure if their intention is to eventually replace iScala with their primary Epicor ERP or continue developing iScala. Initially, it seemed they might replace it, but it appears iScala will remain a separate product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"It allowed us to organize our inventory more clearly."
"There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization."
"I find the job management features of Epicor ERP most useful, especially for material planning. The ERP gives a perfect overview of many aspects. The scheduling is also helpful. It lets us see what we're planning and try different scenarios. For real-time analytics, I use it mostly for planning and "what if" scenarios."
"Real-time results make for faster decision making, but not as fast as we want due to internal processes."
"With Epicor, we can call a pitch between Epicor and the PLM database, which is a significant advantage."
"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."
"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."
"The accounting, purchasing, and basic ERP functions work well. But they are a little bit older, but they work for us. The inventory management is good and necessary for any company that manages stock for production or services."
 

Cons

"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's system for measuring the performance of their support organization is fundamentally flawed (it does not ask the type of questions that would encourage the organization to make the type of changes that would truly elevate the organization."
"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."
"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."
"There needs to be a better POS. Epicor offers a third-party POS which is expensive."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"Everything requires changes, making it similar to developing a new platform from scratch."
"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."
"We're facing challenges with iScala in the public sector, specifically healthcare. The system doesn't have sufficient support for the complexities of managing payments for doctors, nurses, and other healthcare staff."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
"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."
"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"Compared to local ERP solutions, it's on the higher side."
