An affordable tool that offers many useful and better modules than its competitors, along with great stability

First of all, ERPNext offers complete breadth, meaning you can have everything in a single ERP tool and access all the tool's key features since all the key modules are made available. For example, SAP Business One does not have a quality module or HR and payroll module, while ERPNext has modules for HR or payroll, quality, and projects while also inbuilt areas related to e-commerce point of sale, which are areas not covered by many ERP tools. In ERPNext, you also have a website module with which you can build a website. From a customer's point of view, the most valuable feature of ERPNext is the breadth and completeness of the tool. The aforementioned areas are all the features of the tool that I would prefer to focus on rather than just talking about a particular module. In general, the completeness of the tool is a valuable feature offered by ERPNext.

The amazing, robust framework with unlimited scalability earns its #1 status

The solution is not ready for the current e-commerce environment. Its was built for large enterprises who need to predictably optimize their human, material, and financial resources. ERP has evolved and businesses are changing. There are not many large corporations. Most are small enterprises with the capabilities of large enterprises through networking and platform integration. Some companies promote products but get things done with other enterprises as a network. Companies do not want to create new capacity but want to leverage existing capacity with innovative products. They do not want to spend resources on duplicating capacity or facilities. I do not think any ERP product is ready to support this environment so ERPs as a whole might end up being used for back-office functions only. It is not easy to evolve an ERP product because its intent is to integrate functions and processes within an organization. Whereas, in the new business model, processes are not limited to one's own enterprise but cut across different enterprises. There is no enterprise solution as this point in time for the current e-commerce environment so companies must integrate with many solutions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the product's initial setup a nine on a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool that is customizable based on the business environment."

"The most valuable feature of SAP ERP is the financial module, pre-configured packages, and plenty of features. The solution is updating and adding new features that are helpful."

"The most valuable feature of SAP ERP is the integration. It can be seamlessly integrated across the board."

"The best feature of SAP ERP is the full integration."

"It is a utility-focused solution, and the deployment is very much aligned with utility service providers. If you look at the supply chain and the overall business model of a utility service provider, SAP is something that fits very well. That's because the company has invested tremendously in creating appropriate workflows pertaining to this segment or domain."

"It meets our requirements for what we need it to do in the manufacturing industry."

"The most valuable features are that it's very customizable and it's flexible."

"The system can be integrated with other SAP functionalities - such as finance, production, sales, marketing, HR, et cetera, and can also be customized to become a model that's specifically designed for my business. That's the solution's most valuable aspect."

"From a long-term perspective, I can say that the solution can offer a return on investment, but it may take around three to four years for our company to experience it."

Cons

"The look, feel, and color are areas in ERPNext that can be improved."

"The tool has not come up with anything for some specific domains, like construction domains."

"The initial setup is complex."

"The only feature that is not available in our current version is web access."

"There should be better support provided to be able to migrate to S/4HANA easier."

"Lacks sufficient technical support with slow response times."

"Functionality could be improved."

"Poor ergonomics."

"Its user interface should be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a three."

"Price-wise, ERPNext is a cheap product. There are no licensing costs attached to ERPNext since it is an open-source product. You have to pay for the solution's hosting and implementation process."

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

"I rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap or affordable, and ten is really expensive. The solution is expensive."

"It is less expensive than its competitors."

"There is a license needed to use this solution."

"Licensing can vary, but for educational institutions, there are often favorable conditions."
