Macola vs. Unit4 Enterprise Resource Planning

Well suited for larger companies, and this is only becoming more the case with the new ownership. Smaller companies could at one time buy only the modules they required. This is now not possible, so you end up with a number of modules you do not need. It is best suited for a company needing a full MRP and is going to be overkill for a service based company that does not require inventory management.

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

Their consultant and support service is also very responsive.

We did not try any other products. We migrated to Macola from an older product.

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

• 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.
