Acumatica vs. TallyPrime

I think it’s a great product. I think it’s very customizable, which is a big plus.
For manufacturing, it’s excellent because of creating the inventory, turning it into an actual product to sell, and also tracking the status of each process within that system.
I can’t think of any areas where it’s not suited, because otherwise we would be looking for something else or making changes, and at this time, we’re just growing with the system.

There was a need to maintain a clear overview of the inventory for one of our clients, including tracking products, monitoring stock levels, and managing purchase orders. TallyPrime's inventory management feature allowed us to efficiently track and update stock quantities as products are sold or restocked. Which was a real savour for us.

• The data is very flexible, you are almost able to do anything with the data if you can establish the right relations.
• The UI is very friendly and easy on the eyes, compared to our last ERP which I coined as a "List of lists" where drop-down menus lead to drop-down menus.
• Dashboards and keeping everything as a single source of truth.

• TallyPrime simplifies tax management by automatically calculating various taxes, such as GST, based on transaction data.
• TallyPrime's payroll module handles complex payroll calculations effortlessly
• It offers user-level access control and encryption, ensuring that sensitive financial data is protected

• I think improvement, we don't know too much yet as we're just now going live, but the customization is the thing that's nice about software like this, you are able to customize it very well easily, but that takes a little bit of understanding to get to know that, and so we're not quite there yet. That'd probably be my complaint, even though it's not really a complaint, it's just able to do too much for us.

• TDL related automation is something that I'm very curious and TallyPrime should invest time to develop it and provide Knowledge training on it.
• I feel the necessity to introduce the TallyPrime software access in a handheld device access or via web such that on the go transaction can be made noted in TallyPrime without resorting to Desktop environment
• The UI should also be changed currently, whenever I sit, I use keyboard like a typewriter and that aesthetic must be modified with a feature
• The theming feature should be introduced in the TallyPrime, earlier, in TallyERP 9, we have green color screen with some shades of green and now that they have changed that to some blue with bluish shade, I'm curious to have customized colors.

It is a flexible system that is very flexible and is easy to use. It will also be able to scale as the company grows. Frankly, we have invested too much time to walk away from it now and the initial phase is going well

The processes are very intuitive and easy to use. Whether you are entering AP bills, timecards for payroll, or AR invoices, the processes are similar and easy to use. The drill-down capability is also a huge plus as you can easily toggle between different modules without having to leave the screen you are in and navigating through a menu to get the information you need. We found that the standard reports out of the box are lacking. Our implementation did not go so well and when we were finally ready to run financial reports, it was both disappointing and frustrating to discover that the P&L was highly summarized and to get a detailed report required having to do a lot of formatting myself. I was able to figure it out on my own, but when our financials were already delayed getting published, I did not really have the time to spend trying to figure out how to build my own P&L.

I use it regularly, so I feel it as best apart from the User Interface. For recording general day to day transactions, it is apt and to go far beyond given features and for customization, there is a need for the Tally expert to assess the business requirement, So I feel the rating is apt in this judgement.

It's always available.

I would rate the overall support for Acumatica an 8 out of 10. The support team is generally responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful when resolving issues or answering questions. Documentation and community resources are also useful. However, response times can occasionally vary depending on the complexity of the issue or support queue, which slightly affects the overall experience.

It was on General Inquiries and it's just a complex topic.

Online training has gone away. Need to bring back the webinars. Live webinars are so benficial to training new employees.

I'd say the partner selection is critically important. I think the software is very easy to implement. It's very customizable to your business. Finding a partner that will work with you to understand your business and your needs is the critical piece to make sure that the system goes along with it.

Acumatica excels well against other tools due to its rich set of capabilities like deep integrated project management, financial management, scalable unlimited users, robust real-time visibility and strong customisation, outperforming Odoo's variable modules and QuickBook's limited ERP capabilities.

For petty transactions, Microsoft Excel is in place earlier to track the expenses and TallyPrime has replaced it with cost centers and sub-ledgers. Zoho Books being a cloud based accounting software, before considering TallyPrime, has suited the Business requirement to some extent, however, it is not adopted owing to certain challenges. SAP is far beyond the business requirement and the Learning curve is high in that.

From my understanding, the P.O. module is not very robust, at least the last time I inquired about it. At the time, it had a one-to-one match, with one invoice for one P.O. and that isn't practical for many businesses. I don't believe it would be an easy system to use for sending out invoices, if we had thousands of retail utility customers. We do a small number of invoices because we sell wholesale power, not retail, so we only Invoice the municipality. Not each utility customer.

• Positive. Again, it is just that insight that everybody can see. Whether it's my sales guy that's on the show floor that's looking at it at his mobile app, or if it's me in the office logging in every single day, I know what our inventory is. I'm never worried about if we have enough product or where everyone is at. It has it all.

• It gives the best return on investment, if alternative chosen it won't suit the way TallyPrime suits
• I feel 90% will be the ROI of TallyPrime, the 10% is deduced as some manual intervention is needed at places
• The learning curve is also good, which the reason, the newbie can grab the best of it
• overall, the Impact is positive till the time Audit is in place
