Epicor iScala vs SAP ERP comparison

"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."

"ERP is stable. The outcome is clear to us as far as the design goes."

"The best thing that SAP ERP has is the extensive coverage of processes for every field and business unit such as procurement, inventory, financials, asset management, plant maintenance, and production. We can cover up to 99.9% processes of our organization, which is the best thing about this solution. It also has a very good capability to integrate with other applications. The security and authorization level of SAP ERP is very high. No other solution can match this level."

"This is a robust solution with a lot of control measures."

"The valuable feature of SAP ERP is that everything is connected and under one roof, creating a unified system."

"The stability is SAP ERP is not good only because the version is old. They could work on improving the versions."

"The architecture of the solution overall is great. It's great for development, testing, and production. I've worked with solutions where the architecture wasn't as strong and it was a disaster."

"SAP ERP provides the perfect database and options for additional production. It's also good for finance analytics, production drill-down, and other types of analysis."

"The system's reliability has supported our day-to-day operations effectively without significant interruptions."

"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."

"Could be more user friendly."

"The initial setup of SAP ERP is complex and it took a lot of time."

"One thing that is lacking in ERP is a good user interface. It is currently very clumsy and complex. Another thing is that reporting capability of SAP ERP is customizable, but it is not very good. Its development time is also very high if you require specialized technical services. If you want to do any changes to the report or develop a new report, you need people with specialized skills. Business processes are very straightforward and standardized as per the industry standards. However, the way it works is a bit complex, and you need to know a lot of things. There are different things that can be complex for a general user. A lot of information is being provided in ERP. A general user doesn't require all this information, and it creates a lot of confusion. Its learning curve is very high."

"It would also help if it were more open, more flexible, with more standard products."

"It is on the expensive side."

"The power of ABAP Development Tools is the main valuable feature in the SAP ECC system. Every couple of years SAP upgrades ABAP technology significantly, which facilitates developers' work."

"The initial setup is complex."

"The solution's UI could be better."

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

"It is less expensive than its competitors."

"There are licensing costs."

"The solution is expensive so I rate cost a five out of ten."

"I rate SAP ERP's pricing a six or seven out of ten."

"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. SAP ERP is a costly tool."

"SAP ERP is an expensive tool."

"The solution is expensive and is best-suited for large enterprises."

"It could always be cheaper. They don't have a very easy model of licensing, but large entities would get the upper hand in negotiating the license."
