Epicor iScala vs. Unit4 Enterprise Resource Planning

Well suited for middle-size distributor and service provider.

Unit4 is good for small and mid-level companies where they need a single platform to manage their functionality.

• It's a fast system to operate.
• The database is easy to maintain.
• It's easy to customize views.

Incentivized

• Since the software is built with your needs in mind, it can be tailored to your specific needs.
• System security is also created with your specific needs in mind and can be extremely detailed for various roles within the organization.
• The various modules integrate well, if thought through system processes when building.

• I believe that iSAT improvement will bring more benefit to all iScala users
• Longer support of the old Scala versions would bring more confidence for big Scala customers, because in big installations it's been very difficult and time-consuming to make version upgrades every 3-4 years.

• Their layout and limited web capabilities are a turn-off
• They lack basic functionality in their web [version]
• The implementation phase is bumpy since their guides and process documents are not step by step and are usually confusing

Unit4 is very easy to use. One can use it without much technical knowledge.

Their consultant and support service is also very responsive.

I have experience with multiple ERP software and I must say that iScala is the fastest system to work in so far. It doesn't have the same fancy shell like some others but at the end of the day the most important thing is the functionality and here is iScala outstanding.

I have used Fund EZ and QuickBooks. Unit4 is for larger organizations and was needed for our scaling.

• Definetly cost effective overall (within 12 years since starting the company).

• Our business processes were in flux when the initial build of our system was taking place - this made lives very difficult. Make sure processes are set!
• Time - beyond what could have been imagined - this is a huge project, that needs proper resources assigned to it within a company when planning to install.
