Improved quality and supply chain management has boosted stock control
We mainly use Epicor ERP for stock control The most significant features of Epicor ERP for our business process are quality control and supply chain management. AI and additional improvements could be made. I have been using Epicor ERP for more than seven months. The deployment was done…

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

"Epicor ERP is an easy-to-use solution."
"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."
"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"Real-time results make for faster decision making."
"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."
"There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization."
"The product is stable with a rating of ten."
"The ability to deploy a generic implementation without advanced customization."
"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

"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"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."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"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."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"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."
