Overall Satisfaction with Epicor iScala

Even for a very small business like our (we are Epicor consultants/developers/implementers) using Epicor iScala cuts costs on external accounting services and enables instant access to all necessary data with just about 4 hours spent monthly on entering data.

Pros

  • Epicor iScala is simple-to-use and robust Microsoft technology based ERP for very wide range of businesses.
  • One of the stronger parts of the solution is using an industry-standard database that is simultaneously secure and open for queries from any BI tool.
  • Interface is simple and modern, easy-to-customize while keeping a stable kernel.

Cons

  • I have used and implemented iScala for 25 years, it has come a long way in terms of the current modern interface, but there is a room for both design and usability improvements.
  • Most of report forms are quite obsolete and usually are replaced by custom version during implelentation.
  • Color themes are great, but now we're waiting for theme editor :)
  • Definetly cost effective overall (within 12 years since starting the company).
Well suited for middle-size distributor and service provider.
