Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to deploy a generic implementation without advanced customization."
"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"With Epicor, we can call a pitch between Epicor and the PLM database, which is a significant advantage."
"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 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 an easy-to-use solution."
"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."
"Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful."
"The entire solution operates online or on the cloud and this is a valuable feature of Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP."
"The main component is Oracle Financial. It is one of the most comprehensive financial solutions available on the market."
"It is easy and very convenient for clients to go to the front end and check whatever update they want to look at."
"It fosters adoption of a shared services center model."
"Unlike traditional ERPs, where adding a column is customization, personalization is in the tool. OTBI is built-in, providing many pre-delivered reports and dashboards. It's cloud-based, so it's OpEx instead of CapEx. Oracle Integration Cloud Services offers pre-delivered APIs for easy integration with systems like payroll and Salesforce."
"I find that the overall framework and database structure is quite comprehensive."
"It provides our management a real-time view of operations."
"The solution is highly configurable"
 

Cons

"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."
"The main challenge with implementing Epicor ERP is finding the right partners, especially in Europe."
"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."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"You need a lot of knowledge to set up Oracle ERP Cloud."
"Localization of functionality for Europe and Latin American countries legal and fiscal requirements, reporting, and integration with tax authorities."
"The tool is very expensive in Romania."
"The main thing Cloud ERP could improve is usability. However, it's not just an issue with Oracle. Most ERP solutions are not very user-friendly, so I think that could be the key improvement."
"The tool must enable users to customize the reports."
"In terms of areas for improvement, there are still a lot of other features that need to be incorporated into the future releases of Oracle ERP Cloud. We're hoping those would come soon because they're available in other ERP systems. For example, we used to have a lot of AME customizations in the BPM, but now we have a very limited scope, so it would be great if we could extend our scope. Currently, we are working with product teams to get through some of those solutions, and how we could implement them, so we have some workarounds to deal with, but we still have a long road ahead."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"There are integration issues and a lack of flexibility within OIC. When integrating systems, the process feels rigid and linear."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
"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."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"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."
"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"The product pricing is based on a per-user model. It is expensive."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud is on par with other top solutions."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is not a cheap solution."
"The solution is expensive and there are some services that are extra costs."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither expensive nor cheap."
"The tool’s price must be improved."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."
