Improved quality and supply chain management has boosted stock control
We mainly use Epicor ERP for stock control The most significant features of Epicor ERP for our business process are quality control and supply chain management. AI and additional improvements could be made. I have been using Epicor ERP for more than seven months. The deployment was done…
Ramandeep Walia - PeerSpot reviewer
A good legacy solution that is reliable and has good support
We haven't done any implementation in the last ten years. That said, we did upgrade it in 2017-16 to the latest version and it was quite okay. It was complex yet not too much. I'd rate it three and a half out of five in terms of ease of setup.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Real-time results make for faster decision making."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The ability to deploy a generic implementation without advanced customization."
"The product enables users to customize their dashboards and reports."
"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"With Epicor, we can call a pitch between Epicor and the PLM database, which is a significant advantage."
"Menu creation is easier now."
"The ease of use is consistently there."
"We've found the initial setup to be easy."
"I like that JD Edwards World is perfect for my use cases, but what I like best about it is its navigation."
"The most valuable feature for me is the traceability customization, which allows me to track the movement and history of artifacts in our ecosystem."
"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
"JD Edwards World supports operations in manufacturing and distribution, which are crucial for our organization."
"It has worked fine for many years."
 

Cons

"AI and additional improvements could be made."
"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."
"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."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"The main challenge with implementing Epicor ERP is finding the right partners, especially in Europe."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"I would like report creation to be easier."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable so that it could be available to a broader audience. My clients want more analytics or data analysis features from JD Edwards World."
"The interfaces need to be more user-friendly. For example, our purchaser had difficulties updating prices as it required updating line by line."
"The flexibility and ability to integrate external applications are increasingly vital."
"There is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support."
"There are a lot of new technologies coming out and JD Edwards World could improve by having better integration with other databases. The integration with the databases and applications should be in real-time, such as with Oracle."
"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
