Some users have found it frustrating to receive canned responses from support and have struggled with upgrading due to lack of assistance. User Interface: Confusing and Inconsistent The user interface has been a source of frustration for many users, as they find it confusing and inconsistent. Users have mentioned difficulties in performing tasks due to the unclear layout and design. Some reviewers have also noted that certain functions within the software have different names but perform the same tasks, causing confusion.

They feel overwhelmed by too many tabs and non-straightforward links, making it challenging to find specific features or information.

Users frequently recommend the following approaches when using the software:

  • Request structured and pointed demonstrations and speak to references who have used the most current version of the software. This helps in assessing the software's capabilities and suitability for specific needs.

  • Consider the flexibility of choosing between dedicated/single tenancy and multi-tenancy. Having the option to select the most suitable deployment model has proven valuable for different organizations with varying requirements.

At first, it is difficult to convince every one of its immense capabilities but once the scalability is tapped into some it becomes easier to show and convince how well suited the system is for many disciplines. With constant upgrades and updates, there really just isn't a limit to what can be accomplished.

Because of its flexibility. Availability to customize screens and data to mimic current operations. We did not have to change any business processes to use Epicor. All functions were able to be tailored to our business processes, including business reports and forms.

I gave a high scalability because it really doesn't matter how much or how little you need, how many employees, how detailed your bill of materials, distribution is or your financial reporting needs are Epicor can do it with ease of use and is there to help you grow. Have as little or as much as you need without having to pay for items you don't need.

As noted, with on premise and cloud based options, and several levels of cloud-based options, Epicor is highly scalable, particularly in a cloud environment with easy upgrades to more powerful server utilization.

We use Epicor pretty much straight out of the box, Epicor has a lot of flexibility on how you set it up, and how you use it. Costing methods, or if you clock in and out of jobs, whether you are a company with 30 users or a company with 500, it handles it.

Using the word Scalability usually implies an increase of use, or adding the use of other features. Making the product put to good/proper use for small companies without the need for full-time support, whilst integrity is maintained it is an entirely different topic.

In my view, the current company may have acquired a full truck with options, where initially a small pick-up may have been better suited.

Scalability is where I think Epicor is good. We have frustrations now with Epicor because we are small and don't have an onsite dedicated Epicor manager. If we did then I think you start getting the benefits Epicor provides as you scale up.

The software is pretty easy to use. Things are pretty clear on how to do them and if you don't know how to do something they have instructions on how to do them or you get an error code telling you exactly what to do. I have been satisfied with my overall experience.

The company I work with really had no scheduling capabilities as to what Epicor could offer, which is good for all our companies, the environment that I work in has companies in Puerto Rico, France, Singapore, India, and China. The multiple companies along with the currency differences and the accounting capabilities' that went along with the way we setup our plants and warehouses were probably not the right choices for the software's capability, with a lot more thought into all the transactional movements of parts this software does exactly what is expected and could handle consolidation of all companies in respect to financial reporting.
