Senior Law Enforcement Executive at a comms service provider with 201-500 employees

Offers inventory management, basic ERP functions but outdated interface

The interface looks a bit outdated. Epicor acquired iScala, which was originally developed in Sweden. I'm unsure if their intention is to eventually replace iScala with their primary Epicor ERP or continue developing iScala. Initially, it seemed they might replace it, but it appears iScala will remain a separate product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The accounting, purchasing, and basic ERP functions work well. But they are a little bit older, but they work for us. The inventory management is good and necessary for any company that manages stock for production or services."

"The initial setup is not complex. The deployment process was relatively straightforward."

"The solution is parameterized so it naturally has the ability to parameterize, configure, and adapt to various organizational procedures."

"The most valuable feature of Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management is the business intelligence module. Additionally, report consolidation, cloud access, and analysis are useful."

"The interface is rich in features, allowing efficient management of business operations."

"Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management has helped by making processes such as calculating costs, accessing inventory information quickly, validating offers, and extracting data easier."

"The accounting part and the procurement part are most valuable. It is a very good system with workflows and notifications."

Cons

"We're facing challenges with iScala in the public sector, specifically healthcare. The system doesn't have sufficient support for the complexities of managing payments for doctors, nurses, and other healthcare staff."

"Integration with other tools like BOM or Cisco BlueQ could be improved."

"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."

"The solution does not have a solid, out-of-the-box API architecture that is supported."

"Integration with other tools like BOM or Cisco BlueQ could be improved."

"It is not suitable for corporate or manufacturing companies. For example, it's challenging to use it for a manufacturing company."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to local ERP solutions, it's on the higher side."

"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."

"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."
