IT Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Improves operational efficiency and data discipline but struggles with localization and complex planning
I see a few areas that can be improved. The localization is not good; for local taxes and statutory compliances, manual work is being done and other packages are being integrated for tax purposes. From the localization perspective, there is quite a good amount of work to be done. In the production planning area, Epicor ERP cannot handle complex planning situations, which for this organization became very complex, requiring a lot of customizations. Analytics are not being used, and the standard reports are not that great, so management reports are being built independently. Technical support from Epicor ERP could be better. The issue with support is in terms of response time as well as quality.

Powerful accounting functionality, easy to implement, and same day support response
There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible. In a future release, if they could add a CRM incorporated into the core of the solution that would be awesome. Additionally, a more flexible project model. They have a project model, but it's very challenging to set up values.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Easy to use Great functionality Everyone can track all the KPIs online"
"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"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."
"The product enables users to customize their dashboards and reports."
"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."
"With Epicor, we can call a pitch between Epicor and the PLM database, which is a significant advantage."
"Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful."
"The positive impacts I see from Epicor ERP include operational efficiency and productivity improvement; these are the two major things, and the major benefit is the data discipline and the usage of data in a meaningful way."
"The most valuable features of Infor VISUAL are its powerful accounting, multicurrency functionality, and production aspects. We implement the manufacturing for many customers. These are the main goals of the solution."
 

Cons

"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"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."
"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."
"Yes, we would get crashes relatively often."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool; it is hard to use right now because it has a lot of customizations, and we are having issues pulling the reports."
"Epicor doesn't really have a proper cloud solution there, although they claim they do."
"There needs to be a better POS. Epicor offers a third-party POS which is expensive."
"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"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."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
"Pricing isn't a big problem for the solution - I haven't seen them lose deals because of it."
"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."
