Good solution for finance in general but falls short on the manufacturing side

There is room for improvement when it comes to reporting and the manufacturing piece in general. I would like to see more of a complete solution with the operations end of the business, namely the quality management system and the production pieces. It's very good at project costing, cost accounting, accounting and finance in general. Where it falls short is the manufacturing side. Overall, the solution is very difficult to use and learn. The learning curve is difficult. Also, the GUI and user interface are not intuitive.

Requires extensive customization and fails to meet manufacturing needs

My overall experience with Epicor ERP is extremely bad. I just finished a call with the team, and the experience is really unsatisfactory. I will not recommend it to anyone. There's extensive customization required for Epicor ERP, and the standard process is not suitable. Though it is meant for manufacturing, it is not performing the manufacturing job effectively. Regarding the installation process, the implementation is not the problem as the installation is fine. The issue lies with configuration. Although it's supposed to be configurable, it requires customization for everything we need to do. When comparing to JD Edwards and in-house applications, a process that takes one minute in those systems takes ten minutes in Epicor ERP because users have to navigate through different screens constantly. If a user forgets to switch to one screen, the process remains incomplete, making end-user training extremely difficult. There's no automation and workflow feature that can be used without customization. Everything requires changes, making it similar to developing a new platform from scratch. Initially, we anticipated some benefits from using Epicor ERP, but based on the current outcome, it has been completely unsuccessful. The main issue is that everything requires customization rather than configuration. Unless they change their whole approach from customization to configuration, this product should not be used anywhere.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of the solution is fine."

"With Epicor, we can call a pitch between Epicor and the PLM database, which is a significant advantage."

"Epicor ERP paid for itself in the first year and a half, and continued to make the company lean and more profitable by providing tools to manage business operations better, such as production scheduling, finance, and estimating products."

"Real-time results make for faster decision making."

"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 ability to deploy a generic implementation without advanced customization."

"The product is stable with a rating of ten."

"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."

Cons

"Overall, the solution is very difficult to use and learn. The learning curve is difficult. Also, the GUI and user interface are not intuitive."

"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."

"I would like to see a better reporting tool."

"The main challenge with implementing Epicor ERP is finding the right partners, especially in Europe."

"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."

"AI and additional improvements could be made."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"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."

"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."

"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
