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."

"For the past two years, my focus has been fully on Epicor ERP, and there are many new features which we did not deploy in our platform."

"Epicor ERP has harmonized our processes and provides significant visibility in reporting."

"There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization."

"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."

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

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

"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."

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."

"The support rates at 50% because most of the time the support team needs to relearn the processes, especially when a new person is assigned."

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

"Everything requires changes, making it similar to developing a new platform from scratch."

"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."

"The tool should provide a better user interface."

"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."

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

"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."

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

"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."

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