DC

Diva C.

Administrative

“It is user-friendly, making daily accounting tasks more manageable, while its billing and billing administration tools help businesses create invoices, organize invoices, and track invoices efficiently.”
MZ

Muhammad Z.

Talent Acquisition Officer

“You can tailor permissions by user role, build custom reports, and set up workflows that match how your business actually operates instead of adapting your process to the software.”

Pros

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

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.”
RS

Reg S.

President

Cons

“For a financial management platform, accuracy and support are critical. When you cannot fully trust your financial reports and cannot get meaningful assistance when problems arise, it becomes difficult to rely on the software for day-to-day business operations.”
CS

Clara S.

Director of Operations

“For accounting software, accurate financial data is essential, and these issues significantly impacted our operations. When we sought assistance, customer support was unable to provide a satisfactory resolution.”
CS

Clara S.

Director of Operations

“Furthermore, the customer support experience is consistently frustrating, as the automated systems and representatives often lack the technical expertise required to assist with advanced accounting configurations.”

SALES MANAGER

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.”
