Pros

“Dashboards, reporting, and visual tools help monitor operations, improve efficiency, and provide accurate job profitability insights.”

Junior T.

Data Processor

“We receive and pay our bills on time every month but no calls and emails get a response from ECI.”
DV

Dries V.

Chief Operating Officer

“In the inputs for materials in the quoting feature, it sometimes is difficult to change the inputs to exactly what I want.”

Reg S.

President

Cons

“What I like least about SAP Business One is that some processes can feel rigid and overly manual without add-ons, and advanced reporting or automation often requires custom queries or external tools rather than being fully native”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Gareth R.

Inventory Manager

“I think my one and only complaint is that SAP tends to freeze and crash often enough that losing the current work can be incredibly frustrating and tends to create errors on the back-end where things weren't able to process correctly, so then we have to go through and correct that.”
CE

Cydrina E.

Technical Service Helpdesk

“The locally hosted desktop application can run a bit slow.”
YZ

Yev Z.

WMS Administrator

Cons

“We need to adjust our current ERP modules and suites to keep up with our growth and ECI is not giving us the attention we need.”
DV

Dries V.

Chief Operating Officer

“The customer service and the fact that we can not have an end-to-end solution discussion with anyone at ECI”
DV

Dries V.

Chief Operating Officer

“Customizing is difficult to the average user, and for anything to be customized by M1, it always costs extra.”
