An easy-to-use solution that can be used for total business operation, but its pricing should be improved
We use Epicor ERP for our total business operation Epicor ERP is an easy-to-use solution. There are some glitches in Epicor ERP. Epicor ERP should add some automations. I have been using Epicor ERP for the past six years. Epicor ERP is a stable solution. More than 300 users are using the…

Powerful accounting functionality, easy to implement, and same day support response
There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible. In a future release, if they could add a CRM incorporated into the core of the solution that would be awesome. Additionally, a more flexible project model. They have a project model, but it's very challenging to set up values.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Epicor, we can call a pitch between Epicor and the PLM database, which is a significant advantage."
"Real-time results make for faster decision making."
"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."
"Epicor ERP is an easy-to-use solution."
"There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization."
"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."
"The ability to deploy a generic implementation without advanced customization."
"Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful."
"The most valuable features of Infor VISUAL are its powerful accounting, multicurrency functionality, and production aspects. We implement the manufacturing for many customers. These are the main goals of the solution."
 

Cons

"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"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."
"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."
"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."
"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"The main challenge with implementing Epicor ERP is finding the right partners, especially in Europe."
"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
"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."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
