    Exact Software
    If you are a big company and have an active accountant then this system can be for you, it has many options but you need dedication. But the price starts from €39 and then you are not there...Most of the time you need other options to make it complete. Like ERP functions + €199~ want to book hours? +€129. And this is all per month... It goes up so fast that it's not interesting for small companies. When there are better options on the market that are even free...

    SYSPRO
    Almost, since day one Syspro has been saving us time and making us more productive as a whole. We have been able to grow our revenue exponentially with keeping our personnel needs at nearly the same level. Syspro is a great system for an organization that has multiple needs like Distribution and Manufacturing and/or multiple locations.

    SYSPRO
    • If you are a small or medium business, SYSPRO is a great fit due to its flexible design. If you perform warehousing and inventory management Syspro performs these functions very well.
    • SYSPRO has been around since 1978 and it shows in its development and support. I have been through several re-sellers for our support function, however we have now moved to SYSPRO corporate for our technical support and development/customizations. SYSPRO corporate supports their customers VERY well.
    • The SYSPRO interface is highly customizable and nicely laid out. Even with the basic implementation, you can still get off the ground and run without performing too many modifications.
    • SYSPRO forms and reporting templates are easy to customize/modify.

    Cons
    Exact Software
    • Support... It's bad, and when you want to stop or step back it's near impossible.
    • Price, they tend to increase it without warning, and with all the extras it goes up fast.
    • If you wanna spend all your time in accounting buy Exact... It can be complex and many handlings needs to be done.

    SYSPRO
    • We have been using 6.0 and the security is not so good.
    • The program is a bit difficult to learn for rollout
    • The Learning Channel could be improved - downloadable mp4's would be nice to include in the program vs moving back and forth to the learning channel. Since the program is difficult to learn, it would be nice to be able to utilize the learning channel within the program. Also, the learning channel is pretty complicated to use.

    SYSPRO
    I've heard many reports from our users stating how difficult Syspro is to use and navigate. From an average standpoint, the Syspro Administrator has to invest a lot of time in setting up the user for success. Once the groundwork is applied, SYSPRO's overall usability becomes fair easier to the average user.

    Alternatives Considered
    Exact Software
    I would not select Exact Online, but I can direct you to better options. Due to the high price, getting behind the competition and support I would suggest options like Zoho Books for you bookings, or CyberStockroom as ERP. And here in the Netherlands e-boekhouden.nl is a real nice, cheap, and fast working booking platform for the smaller companies.

    SYSPRO
    We evaluated 8 of the top vendors 16 years ago before we selected Syspro and frankly, none of them came close to meeting all of our needs at a reasonable price point. We still look back at that process and think it was one of the best decisions we have ever made.

    Return on Investment
    Exact Software
    • Negative: High costs and implement time turned 1 client in to the negative, and after 2 years of use wants to stop.
    • Positive: Once an ERP connection is running you can automate a lot in the process.

    SYSPRO
    • Significant returns regarding our ability to quickly process orders - both direct entry, EDI and web orders.
    • Significant returns through giving us the ability to serve configurable products to our customers - We used the product configurator to accomplish this.
    • Simplifies the shipping process and makes it easy for us to process shipments.
    • Significant returns in terms of automation and cutting down on expense.
