Usability
Epicor Software
CMS takes time to learn and use the menu driven green screen. However, once you are familiar it makes for fast navigation.

While the software is easy to use and pick up, the different user interfaces and limits across the application make it difficult and slow to implement additional applications quickly and seamlessly across the organization. If the User interface was more consistent we would be able to pick up and train on new apps more efficiently

Support is getting better but can still be slow to respond.

Zoho
Support is great as a customer, as a partner I get moved to that team more often and find issues in the support being provided. It also appears that the support agents do not take into account all the information provided and default back to the "step 1 of the playbook" instead of taking into account the business reason the support is being requested and understanding the steps already taken.

Alternatives Considered

We have more control over the backend of CMS and the fact it runs on a 5250 emulator it run a lot faster for data entry.

5 years ago, we decided to use Odoo. At that time, the enterprise version of Odoo was not competitive enough for a small company with minor integration needs when it comes to the pricing per user. Nowadays, pricing is almost equal. The effort of integration processes with Odoo is still higher even though it delivers more potential. A decision between both today would be more difficult for us.

  • Our users are frustrated with the complexity and lack of consistency in the admin portals.
  • CRM is the only tool that is ready for business at scale.
