Quick implementation brings comprehensive workflow management and efficient regulation handling
One of the major advantages of QAD Cloud ERP is related to the easy and quick implementation that I have found the most valuable. The entire application of QAD Cloud ERP itself is very valuable for my customers. My impression of the advanced supply chain management feature in QAD Cloud ERP is that it's a very comfortable tool and, if rightly configured, it really helps the business to have clear visibility of the entire supply chain. My impression of the compliance management in QAD Cloud ERP is that it has reduced many overheads of doing manual compliance, and it is quite easily manageable; it is connected with the regulatory authorities, making it a fantastic tool. The positive impact my customers have experienced from using QAD Cloud ERP includes easy integration with multiple different applications, connectivity with regulatory authorities and banks, having bank drivers for easy payments and receiving money, and it has fantastic web UI reporting, which satisfies many different stakeholders within the entire organization worldwide.

A great choice for straight manufacturing, but not suitable for complex manufacturing models
SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module. One of my clients is a project-based organization, and they're finding it extremely difficult to manage their business using SYSPRO, to the point that they're looking at alternative solutions. The Projects and Contracts module is not a very useful tool. It does project accounting reasonably well, but in terms of putting in proper structures, like a work breakdown structure and so forth, it's actually quite poor. Their design or their architecture for the Projects module isn't good enough. They need to redesign it and redevelop it. They have made improvements. However, the problem is that if you're building on a bad foundation, then your building isn't going to be very strong. That's principally their problem. Any heavy equipment company would have a requirement to keep their equipment available for production. In that sense, SYSPRO has no maintenance management functionality. There's also no functionality for field services management. These two functionalities are critical for places like mines or for heavy equipment manufacturers who service the aftermarket and so forth. From a product perspective, this obviously isn't a good place to be because they are sort of taking themselves out of the market for quite a number of industries. They are constrained to manufacturing and distribution.

Pros

"The positive impact my customers have experienced from using QAD Cloud ERP includes easy integration with multiple different applications, connectivity with regulatory authorities and banks, having bank drivers for easy payments and receiving money, and it has fantastic web UI reporting, which satisfies many different stakeholders within the entire organization worldwide."
"The solution serves its purpose and does what we need it to do."
"It is the most stable solution that I've ever worked with."
"The Financial Accounting module, in general, is quite good. It is quite simple but powerful. Similarly, the Manufacturing functionality, including a multiple level bill of materials, is also quite useful."
 

Cons

"Just implementing an ERP system takes a lot of time."
"They could improve by moving away from the architecture of Progress 4GL as currently they are undergoing a very drastic change by redoing the entire application with Java and web-based technologies, projected to be released by 2026 with the incorporation of analytics, process intelligence, and AI to help business users."
"The product lacks a lot of features and technology."
