Epicor iScala vs. Zoho One

Well suited for middle-size distributor and service provider.

Advantages

• The price-quality ratio is excellent, even though Odoo has become very competitive.
• The time to implementation is also great, if not one of the best.
• Excellent billing and service desk apps

It is not the best solution if you are looking into a collaboration-focused software suite.

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

Incentivized

• CRM integrates nicely using our Zapier environment.
• The Lead to Contact/Account Conversion is very intuitive.
• Deals, Sales Orders, and Contract Zoho Sign work well together.

• 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.

Incentivized

• The integration is loose and needs to be more stable and a true integration
• Development appears to take long periods of time to bring customer enhancements into the next release. I have seen numerous obvious business application needs to be brought to the attention that is still 2-3 years old without an update
• Unified User Interface and back end functionality/configuration across applications

Incentivized

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 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.

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.

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.

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

Incentivized

• It has had an overall negative impact since we migrated from HubSpot due to the overall lack of support.
• 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.
