Epicor is a firm and highly accessible option that produces an optimistic return on investment. It also has a prompt data analysis. Epicor ERP is recommended by me to all those interested, as its features allow employees to work more professionally and fast. There is a need to improve the software much. But still, I would recommend it.

Pros

We create purchase orders, senders, and invoices through Epic and that brings us a high return on investment.
In addition to that, it also helps us track work activity perfectly.
It also helps us with our accounting needs.
Epicor ERP helps traceability too and is ideal for companies who purchase components from various places.
There are a large number of departments such as sales, finance, IT, etc who use the system.
Epicor also has a user-interface that facilitates exporting to Excel.
Moreover, it allows making decisions faster with the help of real-time data analysis and financial reporting.

Cons

The con I found is that the innovations are not being used in the development of queries by Epicor which would facilitate even the novices to create their own results without the help of the IT department.
The software support team also requires improvement to a lot extent to achieve better efficiency.

The best feature is the comprehensive improvements in making the business speed and communication better between the various business units. Also, business decisions can be made quickly and better customer service can be had with the help of an excellent User interface which makes it easy to shift from one area to another thus helping the quick and smooth flow of work.

Pros

Epicor provides powerful user customization tools that are easy to manage too.
The modules are well integrated providing the great capability to the user.
It is also flexible and has a strong user-interface.
The modules provided have wide-ranging and flexible choices for the user to customize the configuration according to their work needs.

Cons

Though there is the facility to customize, it is complex sometimes.
Even if a C#programmer is hired it could still be not simple.
Also, there may be a need to rewrite previous customizations when the V9 to V10 customization languages are changed.
This would be a costly affair when compared to using tools that can easily import existing customizations.
Upgrading a software module is not very simple, though it is being worked out to make it better and easy.
This would help companies to continue with the prevalent release and not look like a new implementation.
It involves a lot of time and effort.
Though there are various modules available for improving needs they are weak.
For instance, integration of the software to Salesforce.
