Cons
"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story.""In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing.""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.""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.""A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10.""The tool should provide a better user interface."

More Epicor ERP Cons →

"It is not suitable for corporate or manufacturing companies. For example, it's challenging to use it for a manufacturing company.""The solution does not have a solid, out-of-the-box API architecture that is supported.""Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management could improve the search functionality. For example, if I was to search for a transaction from last year it would be difficult to accomplish. I have to scroll through to find what I am looking for. The approach should be more similar to Quickbooks where when you search for something it takes you directly to the searched item.""Its implementation process is kind of complicated. If the person implementing it doesn't know what he is doing, the system can have many issues. Sage X3 is just an accounting system. As compared to Oracle E-Business Suite, it does not cover a lot of functionality. It doesn't have the payroll, lease management, and HR modules. Oracle E-Business Suite is better than Sage X3."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
  • "When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
  • "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."
  • "The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
  • "Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
  • More Epicor ERP Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is very cheap. There are no additional charges, but the problem is that you have to acquire an additional supporting system such as a budgeting system. You will have to implement the integration and maintain two systems. So, you need to pay for the license of that budgeting system and this one. You also need to pay the license for the payroll and integration. There are all these integrations that you have to pay for."
  • "The solution delivers the same capabilities of SAP or Oracle at about 30% to 40% of the cost."
  • "The price of this solution is expensive. However, it depends on the number of branches used. The price can be upwards of $40,000 annually."
  • "The cost is not expensive."
