An easy-to-use solution that can be used for total business operation, but its pricing should be improved

The product lacks a lot of features and technology, though it is the most stable solution in the market
The product lacks a lot of features and technology. It is really limited. The tool must improve in almost all areas. There are a lot of things that should be improved in the manufacturing and shop floor, logistics and warehousing, and master data both from a functionality and technology standpoint. The solution must have a better WMS to improve the logistics and workflow and handle the processes within the system. The collaboration must be improved. The product must be more flexible and allow customization. It must allow the users to personalize the application in a better way. The tool lacks a lot in the purchasing area. The documents and process of purchasing are limited and simple. In the sales domain, there are no enhancements to calculate forecast and shipment programs. We cannot optimize transportation.

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."
"The ability to deploy a generic implementation without advanced customization."
"The product enables users to customize their dashboards and reports."
"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 product is stable with a rating of ten."
"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"The solution serves its purpose and does what we need it to do."
"It is the most stable solution that I've ever worked with."
 

Cons

"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"AI and additional improvements could be made."
"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 didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"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."
"Just implementing an ERP system takes a lot of time."
"The product lacks a lot of features and technology."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing isn't a big problem for the solution - I haven't seen them lose deals because of it."
