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.

Pros

"Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful."
"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
