Automation reduces manual processes and enhances operational efficiency
Almost all the features are useful, from procurement to manufacturing, as they are interconnected and useful. The procurement process stands out particularly. We have been able to implement customizations to meet our approval processes, making it easier to get PO approvals and requests approved. Having multiple people approve before a PO is completed is streamlined, and the system is easy to customize and modify. The system has reduced many manual processes, and we have automated several processes in Epicor ERP, allowing bots to run some processes without manual intervention. The system has enhanced accuracy, especially when the base data is correct and automation can read the data properly. The accuracy is above 90%, and when errors occur, automation informs users quickly before posting items to the GL. Epicor ERP has harmonized our processes and provides significant visibility in reporting. The internal reports of Epicor ERP have been instrumental in strategic planning.

Offers extensive features for efficient operations in small to midsize businesses
The solution is very good. However, for very small companies, maybe a cloud service is better. Other software like QuickBooks may work well if you do not have many employees and require simple invoicing and inventory. This software, though, is a bit more advanced compared to QuickBooks, offering flexibility, multi-user capability, and options for application development. It connects directly to the database for reporting or external systems, which is beneficial for companies needing more advanced features. However, if I need a very complex system, Sage might not be suitable. Overall, I would rate this product an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"With Epicor, we can call a pitch between Epicor and the PLM database, which is a significant advantage."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"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 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 has harmonized our processes and provides significant visibility in reporting."
"The product enables users to customize their dashboards and reports."
"In terms of manufacturing and in terms of the configuring of the product to meet a variety of different types of manufacturing requirements, the product works well."
"The product provides consistent updates and upgrades."
"The warehouse module is imperative in keeping our records up-to-date because we have multiple locations."
"For me, it is a ten because I did not have any problems or issues."
"Regarding the cost, it is cheap. I pay a one-time fee instead of a monthly license fee per user."
"The technical support is very good."
 

Cons

"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"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."
"Epicor doesn't really have a proper cloud solution there, although they claim they do."
"Yes, we would get crashes relatively often."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"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 ERP cannot handle complex planning situations, which for this organization became very complex, requiring a lot of customizations."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"Updating incorrect information takes a specific process to correctly back out the error to fix it."
"We're definitely looking at a new system because everything in this product needs improving."
"While the software may not be very expensive, it lacks many advanced features found in other software."
"The vendor stopped supporting the solution on the Linux platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"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."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
