Overall Satisfaction with Acumatica

We utilize Acumatica to handle our project budgets across many different departments. We have monthly review process that facilitates updating our projections in a trackable way with mapped approvals. We also utilize it with AcumatiScan to handle paperless AP processing. We use it all the standard ways an ERP is used to handle basic accounting functions.

Pros

  • Cost Projections
  • Project Budgeting
  • Resource based pricing instead of users

Cons

  • Customization is very complicated
  • API can be rather slow and a bit of a black box
  • Cost Allocations
  • It has allowed us to build out custom solutions using their API which has streamlined processes for our accountants
  • In conjunction with AcumatiScan it has eased AP processing for most users and definitely our AP clerks
  • It has improved our real-time reporting and budget management, especially with the incorporation of Velixo
Given our business it doesn't have any impact on our customer base. Salesforce is our other main system and that does impact users directly. That being said, we have been able to integrate the two in many ways using their API.
We are in construction/real estate and we use it to process our AP (we have essentially no AR) and manage project budgets on a very granular level. It allows us to effectively see what has been spent, committed, and then use that information to project our the anticipated future costs.
We selected Acumatica as it seemed far more flexible, which was key for our business as we're very inflexible. We also have a lot of companies and projects which would be costly to incorporate in Sage Intacct. Oracle was concerning given their reputation and we feared we wouldn't be able to adapt it to us.

Do you think Acumatica delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Acumatica's feature set?

Yes

Did Acumatica live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Acumatica go as expected?

No

Would you buy Acumatica again?

Yes

It's well suited to companies that have a high number of companies and projects which most other offerings didn't support well or only did so at a high additional cost. It's suited to companies which are project/cost code based and need to manage many budgets and be able to propose many projections.
