Epicor Cloud ERP

Overall Satisfaction with Epicor ERP

We use the Epicor software for our whole organization. I have access to most modules including engineering, production, accounting, and sales. I am an outside salesman and a remote user. Using the cloud for storage was an important factor in choosing Epicor. We have had minimal downtime, far less than any other software we have used. Updates are frequent and mostly seamless. Some of our custom modules need to be fixed at each update, that is definitely a negative. We use serialized inventory and this requires separate VIN generating software, not easy for our order entry clerks. Overall pretty happy with the software.
  • Cloud storage
  • Frequent updates and fixes
  • Configurator for production is a plus.
  • VIN generation
  • Closing of orders to invoices at month end would be better than daily
  • Smoother updates for custom modules
  • Cloud is a little slower than the server-based system was
My personal opinion.
Epicor is more reliable, M2M was a little easier to use but not as powerful.
