Construction module. Ease of use. Depth and variety of training.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Ease of use.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I believe some aspects of the product are immature like the payroll module or some features to the construction module that I would like to see as a standard item. However, what I disliked the most was the implementation where is was presumed that we had sophisticated IT support and we did not. I would definitely recommend hiring that resource if you do not have that in house.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Have a test drive. Talk to successful users of the product in your size and sophistication range.

What differentiates Acumatica Cloud ERP from other similar products?

For me, the choice came down to the capabilities of the integration of our other systems and well as the ease of customizing my needs for my industry within the software. The other determining factor for us was the team we work with. Even in the beginning with sales, I never felt pressure or that we were just another customer. I felt they were more of a partner with us and that stood out from the rest.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The capability of integration as well as being able to customize screens by user. I also love the inventory portion of the software.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I wouldn't say I dislike anything about the product. If I had to pick something to be a little bit easier, it would be creating new or editing existing reports.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you need a reliable ERP system, this one is it. We do not have any server down time, or down time due to upgrades. The Acumatica team we work with is hands down the best. The integration and customization this allows you is going to set them apart from others.

What differentiates Acumatica Cloud ERP from other similar products?

Acumatica Cloud ERP distinguishes itself through its pay-by-computing-resource pricing model, and not per-user licenses. With its model, businesses can extend operations with no additional cost for new users, and it works best for companies with expansion in mind. With its simplicity in adding an infinite number of users, it promotes increased use in the entire organization, and collaboration and transparency in terms of information become even simpler.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite Acumatica Cloud ERP feature is its deep module stack that covers a range of business processes. With its integration between financial management, customer relation management, and project accounting, and vertical modules including manufacturing and construction, Acumatica forms one, unfragmented platform for dealing with a range of business processes. With its integration model, Acumatica eliminates information silos and provides real-time access to information regarding all aspects of a business.

What do you dislike most about this product?

One aspect I have a problem within Acumatica is its security configuration complexity level. As beneficial and powerful as granular access controls for users, configuring and managing user roles and access can become cumbersome and disorienting. How "Not Set" defaults can cause access restrictions not desired can make planning and ongoing maintenance a necessity to implement security effectively.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

For businesses considering Acumatica Cloud ERP, my recommendation is to make a thoughtful examination of your specific industry needs and how Acumatica can address them. As flexible and configurable as Acumatica is, certain industries will have out-of-the-box capabilities that will work for them and not for others. Consult with Acumatica partners and existing users in your specific field and gain an understanding of how the system can be shaped to your specific use cases.
