The product is easy to use and provides consistent updates and upgrades
The vendor stopped supporting the solution on the Linux platform. We can only use it on Windows. It is very bad. I don't know why they discontinued support for Linux. Now we are supposed to use Microsoft SQL Server, which I don’t like very much. We are left with no options. The vendor must give users the option to use what they are comfortable with. Most of the functionalities are not available on the browser. We have to install the desktop client. It would be very good if the vendor could make all the functionalities available on the web browser version. We would not have to go around installing workstations. We could just provision it from the browser.

A great choice for straight manufacturing, but not suitable for complex manufacturing models
SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module. One of my clients is a project-based organization, and they're finding it extremely difficult to manage their business using SYSPRO, to the point that they're looking at alternative solutions. The Projects and Contracts module is not a very useful tool. It does project accounting reasonably well, but in terms of putting in proper structures, like a work breakdown structure and so forth, it's actually quite poor. Their design or their architecture for the Projects module isn't good enough. They need to redesign it and redevelop it. They have made improvements. However, the problem is that if you're building on a bad foundation, then your building isn't going to be very strong. That's principally their problem. Any heavy equipment company would have a requirement to keep their equipment available for production. In that sense, SYSPRO has no maintenance management functionality. There's also no functionality for field services management. These two functionalities are critical for places like mines or for heavy equipment manufacturers who service the aftermarket and so forth. From a product perspective, this obviously isn't a good place to be because they are sort of taking themselves out of the market for quite a number of industries. They are constrained to manufacturing and distribution.

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

"We're definitely looking at a new system because everything in this product needs improving."
"The vendor stopped supporting the solution on the Linux platform."
