UNIT4 ERP Features

I like most about Unit4 ERP is that it has a user-friendly interface, it’s easy to work on it even if you don’t have prior experience in ERP software’s.Likewise, it’s tailored to our organization needs where we in Finance department enter invoices, extract purchase orders, and generate detailed reports, Also the posting mechanism have multi layers for approval depending on our organization authorization table . Additionally, it connects multi departments into one platform like finance, HR & logistics, which makes our work easier and more reliable.

The system get slow and unresponsive sometimes, especially during updates. Also there is no built in tutorials for complex features e.g (ERP Smart Client)

Absolutely nothing, using Agresso is a complete nightmare and wastes my time whenever I have to use it.

Glitches, grinds to a halt and gives error messages when using via Chrome - colleagues tell me it's slightly better with IE. The welcome screen retains an old password instead of updating it so you always have to put the new password in once you've changed it. Completely counter-intuitive; one small but representative example is that you have to hit the "search" button instead of the return key to...

Dear Rachel, I'm sorry to hear that you have been having a hard time using Business World in your role. Aston has been a valued customer of Unit4's for a long time, so we are excited that your organisation is currently upgrading from a very old version to our latest cloud generation very soon! We are confident that you will see significant improvements that will improve your experience in short order. Please don't hesitate to reach out to your account manager with any further issues as we want to ensure that you are getting the most out of Business World for your role.

Powerful inquiry options both instant and report-based; flexible setup able to capture multiple unique attributes needed for our reporting; importing and exporting to/from excel very straightforward.

Could be more flexible from a display standpoint (changing display size/colors). Only a few other clients in the University Foundation field so few peers to network with.

Thank you for your review, Rich! Customer experience is very important to us, so we're happy to hear that you are pleased with Unit4 Business World. We're always working toward improved flexibility in our solutions, and would of course be happy to welcome more of your peers to the Unit4 family.

Very configurable solution which can easily match most business processes and requirements. Easy and intuitive to use for many end users. Reporting is easy and straight forward. Cloud upgrades are much easier and cheaper than on premise solutions compared to many other ERP software solutions.

Some functionality is only available in a 'fat" client and not in a web browser.

We chose Business World because it enables us to modify the system quickly and easily as needed to meet our changing needs. It has improved our overall accountability with accurate budgeting, simply by enabling staff to access the information they need when they need it. It also gives us the flexibility we need to meet our unique needs.

For new hires, Business World comes with a learning curve but the Unit4 support team is always there to help us.

It is flexible and can be built to suite any business need. It has a robust data model and can easily interface with other applications.

Because the application is so flexible it can come across as complex when it is initially introduced.

Thank you for your review, Trude! We're so glad you are happy with our ERP's flexibility - and for so long!

From an infrequent user perspective, I dont like anything about it.

Its not user friendly. I guess that it has a lot of functionality that might be useful from a reporting point of view, but for me it is really frustrating to use. I use it to claim expenses once overy few months and every time I have to figure out how to do it. It defaults to the wrong cost codes without making it aparant, it isnt clear what is and isnt mandetory, it isnt easy to review claims. In our system the date is based on the financial year not the actual year...

Hard to say, the intro page design? There is hardly anything one can like.

Using the software is extremely complex. For example, the drop-down menu will never indicate, what to select or how to find the keywords, the page would collapse in the middle of work and one loose everything, no recovery, no automatic saving, the errors reporting will not give you clue what can be wrong, and if something is wrong one cannot save the page and again, everything is lost.

It's user friendly. Grouping and sorting in each Portlets are really good

Sometimes session got expire with in certain quick period time. If I didn't save I have to do it again
