Pros and Cons from Arena PLM users   
+15
BOM building process is great, Changes are great, Part management is good, Search functions are good.
The search feature within Arena is terrible and it seems to get stuck with Chrome and firefox unless cookies are deleted weekly.
Support folks are good, software is stable and will allow us to present to auditors what we do and how we do it.
Product revision control is a bit too manual (no auto-rev-up for parent items). Some GUI at the request level is confusing.
I love how easy it is to use, very user friendly, can do all kinds of changes, document all of it.
Depending on whether a change has been rejected or withdrawn, it is sometimes impossible to make further edits to a revision until that change is "deleted", even though it had already been rejected.
I've never felt like I was forced to change my workflow with any of the updates, and if I need any help their customer service is excellent.
The search function can be tricky to utilize, and is occasionally glitchy.
We predominantly use Arena for BOM tracking/DHF/DMR creation and maintenance, and quality. The experience for both has been great.
As I already mentioned, it's super user friendly and it takes no time to work comfortable with it. I contact support service few times and received the feedback in less then 24 hours.
Using their great application and integration specialists also permits fast product imports when rolling out new products from a new partner or a new acquisition.
Relatively easy to take care of trainings required and review current and prior versions of documents.
The best Product Life Management platform I ever used.
I really like the continual effort to provide more features and customer support to implement your PLM environment in a way that works for your company.
Ease of use, very intuitive frontend. Customisable in many ways, can be adapted to the business.
Very easy to use and easy to integrate into current business programs and models.
Approval signature flow works very well. Analytics is very powerful, but of course it comes at extra cost.
Since it works on the cloud, you don't need to invest in a dedicated computer server to operate it.

Pros and Cons from ALERE users   
+11
The ability to modify is very important for us. Ease of use is also very important for our clients and the product is easy to learn.
Sometimes the different tabs of the modules can take time to load, and we had some problems with errors and the system freezing up.
Our clients have found Alere easy to use and navigate. Due to the design of Alere's library of intelligent objects , integration with other company systems has been accomplished with ease.
Everyone is able to find out information through the system, instead of constantly asking if an order has been placed. There are less errors with duplicate orders because of the warnings.
I love the comprehensive nature of ALERE. It handles all of our operations.
Having customers that need to connect to other websites other than the ones that TIW has made available can be difficult which the customer does not understand.
So, the user interface is rich and powerful, and all modules utilize that same interface.
Tracking the bills that we pay and being able to hyperlink them to the actual invoice.
I like working with the staff at TIW too. They are always helpful and offer suggestions when creating custom modifications.
Reason pricing and low maintenance cost allow users to keep up with latest version which comes with new enhancements and better reports.
It is our most important tool in our everyday use.
Ease of use and integration with existing processes.
Reasonable purchase price and low maintenance cost is the best in SMB ERP market. Fast and knowledgeable support team provides dependable assistance in problem solving.
Alere offers integration with Shopify and TaxJar which ease tax management and easily opens the door to e-Commerce.

Pros and Cons from MRPeasy users   
+15
It is also nice that you can switch from one language to another with one click. Support is excellent, always here to help very quickly.
Only straightforward activities are possible without paying extra for 'software development. There isn't a way to correct errors in counting, without hiring 'development' team.
My experience with MRPeasy is fantastic. The transition has been seamless, my team really likes the new upgrade.
Report/statistics is limited. Graph (statistic) is not printable, can view only.
We've formalised our item and BOM structures, improved our production planning and made our operational purchasing more robust with this software. Overall we are happy with the product.
I am pulling all of my customers away from it because a backup is the customer's data. To restrict it to a short time period is really not acceptable.
Easy to understand, great documentation with video support on all of the how to's. I loved how MF orders are easily tied to operations of work stations.
Once I have the PO, then the system should prompt me to create the items.
The software is the most straightforward solution for MRP I've ever found. The team there is very responsive and the newsletter always has interesting information, tips, and case studies.
Perfect deployment, good support, easy to use, once you found it.
Easy to use program that can be scaled with company growth. Customer service is very helpful.
Easy to add and remove users. Contextual help menu is very good.
MRP has been excellent to deal with. Any issues we have had, the customer services have helped at all points.
Easy integration with Xero. For our company the modules of production planning/manufacturing, procurement and stocks are very important and this software fits our purpose.
The flow of production through the system is very logical and streamlined. It captures all details and is great at job costing and inventory management.
It is easy to use, and I like that it can integrate with Xero.
MRPEasy is easy to use, easy to build to your business and easy to roll out across your workforce.
I want my employees to be able to use functions like bar code scanning on their tablets without having to pay enterprise / professional subscriptions for them as well.

Been fantastic, service is there, continous improvement happens, we are growing because of their of their product.
We have some network issues that we believe is causing the loss of data.
Pinpoint enables fantastic operator control and traceability of build quality. Quality & training systems by each operator.
Can be difficult in a post production rework environment.
Improving, quality, velocity and cost. I have always had a great experience with the PINpoint team.
One feature that can be updated is the fact that if tried the user could trick the system to send out a defective part.
Improving, quality, velocity and cost. I have always had a great experience with the PINpoint team.
Start up and network reliance, that upon system outages causes production stops, due to RIC locations.
The overall experience is great. The product is easy to use and the customer service is great.
Order tracking and work-process control saw an immediate and drastic improvement. Record keeping, production analytics and the ability to control processes in an easy manner are another added benefit.
Their willingness to share knowledge and instruct the end users is awesome.
The company is always evolving as well, trying to improve their processes for their customers. They also have very good customer support.
I've been fortunate enough to get to meet most all of their team, and I can't think of a nicer, more intelligent and helpful group of folks I've ever met anywhere.
Found it to be Robust system, had minimal downtime during integration into existing operations. Good for Torque control, Process visualization.
Easy user friendly features, to create products & manage in-process validation. Great support from everyone at PINpoint.
I have used PINpoint since version 3.6 and it keeps getting better with every update. It is quite fast and easy to make larger product changes and updates.
The software is very user friendly from an administrator stand point as well as from the use of an assembler.
The implementation team was very knowledgeable and helpful guiding us during the integration of Pinpoint into our production process. The followup support has been first rate, as well.

Pros and Cons from S2K Enterprise users

In my opinion it is strongest in WMS and inventory. It is a very solid performing software and is very reliable.
The S2K consultants are very savvy when it comes to technology, but they need a lot of direction. I had to try to coordinate their resources through different points of contact which was frustrating.
VAI help us integrate with our shipping platform. Now all of these modules exchange information in real-time and the efficiency improvements have been amazing.
The price but liek anything in life you get what you pay for.
I like the dependability of the product. I like that it is ran from a server and not online only.
The software is hard to use. If you or your employees are not good with computers and programs, this is not the software for you.
Very reliable, very stable. Designed for huge database and large organizations.
It has provided me with specific solutions for my industry, which has allowed me to optimize my processes and improve productivity.
Product is a full suite and turn key solution to our software needs. VAI is great to deal with as they work very closely in meeting all our needs and responding right away to our support.
It's is very user friendly it's process transactions almost real time which reach in more speedy decision making.
A mature product with tons of features. It does not require any integrations since it manages a full range of modules under one system.
S2K is a rock solid ERP, highly customizable but not necessary since everything you will need to follow best practices and fulfill your companies needs are already built in.

Working with Waterloo and Customer support specifically has been a pleasure. The team are very helpful and provide insight and solutions far beyond the sale.
My main problems are internal to my organization. Too many upgrades and changes.
The customer service has been excellent. The software is very operator friendly.
This may be user error, there could be a better way, but I do not have the time to get with my rep to solve the problem.
We have been using this for about 6 years, and it is excellent for our business.
Script import is a little tricky to get set up properly.
Tactic has worked well with our scheduling for making brick at our Sgt. Bluff plant. I like the quickness with the way it operates and has a good flow through the steps.
I would recommend this software to anyone looking for a great scheduling package.
Tactic has been a solid scheduling package for our use. We have roughly 1500 orders in progress at any one time, and Tactic keeps everything flowing smoothly.
The software has been reliable and easy to work with.
Excellent software very flexible and easy to use.
Number of features, ease of use and value for the money spent.
The entire scheduling cycle has reduced dramatically and we can navigate around issues that previously created bottlenecks and unnecessary downtime.

Pros and Cons from Evocon users

Fantastic; the software on its own is easy to recommend, however with the addition of the personal level of customer service that we've seen, this package is exceptional.
Information about the production order number was missing, but this is an issue the Evocon team is working on.
It is easy and very natural, we hope it will stay that way. Working with Evocon team is very nice- they are very helpful and fast with their service.
I still lack a way to have the reports sent to me by email every day or to a defined group of people.
Overall we are satisfied and system has helped us to improve our product quality and OEE.
We use it on our morningmeetings, to sum all stops, and to provide the maintenance department with facts. On monthly basis, I get all information to my headoffice-reporting from Evocon.
Incredibly good customer support, that're always willing to provide help and assistance on your targets, hardware and software. The more you put into it, the more you get out of it.
The presentation material ticked all the boxes.
The user-friendliness of the system is one of the biggest benefits of Evocon. Our operators have been quick to adopt the system and really enjoy using it.
The ease of use and the real-time view of the status of the production line are the two most impressive features for us.
User friendly, value for money, good service, simplicity in setting it up.
Strong visual output that helps increase efficiency. The interface is simple, well visualized and very fast to use.
Additionally seeing the amounts produced during shifts, the efficiency (OEE) and how well the production matches the ideal cycle times with the ERP integration are fantastic features.
Provides a good overview for different management levels and also provides easily accessible information that allows analysis and decision making.
Evocon is user friendly, easy to use for operators and leaders/admins. You can learn it just in couple of minutes because logic behind is so simple.
Really easy to install and use. Gives a lot of good info to think about lean initiatives.
Very easy to integrate with our producing line.
Our goals are clear: as we set up a number of work centers with a very large investment, to reduce machine downtime, analyze the causes of downtime and try to find optimal solutions.

Data collection very useful and helping during reviewing in manufacturing processes for debugging/troubleshooting. Having excellent supporting from vendor.
The pre-built adaptors work relatively well but sometimes it can fail. We have found some of our measurement data to be missing and this can be quite hard to find with very large data sets.
They are continually iterating with customers like us to make the product even better. I will take a partner like this any day of the week.
We used IntraStage to alert on specific measurements using custom control limits. This can let us know if products are trending to fail.
As with any SQL Server based application, it is important a solid DBA is supporting it for optimal performance.
Whilst the older static/paginated reports are capable they do suffer in comparison to the newer reports.
Working with the Intrastage development team has been a positive experience and we have resolved all challenges together.
The UX design can be quite difficult to get your head around initially but you do get used to it. There is a lot of learning required when first configuring the software.
Another notable feature is how easy it is to get email alerts on reports with an easy to use logic form. The support we have received from IntraStage is second to none.
The interface has evolved over time and has implemented more functionality and improved speed as well as accessibility to data.

Ability to perform a wide variety of SPC functions as well as ease of use and access to our PCBA Manufacturing data from our CM.
The prospective system would need to be able to integrate with other software systems, and would have to give engineers a high-level view of design verification progress.
IntraStage's open architecture and open API's allow us to gather data from a wide variety of systems.

All of the customer support people I have worked with are very helpful and friendly, and very easy to work with. The user interface is clean and easy to navigate.
The worst aspect of this software is the fact that we need to repeat some steps too many times.
Also the weekly meetings are a great way to keep us improving. The customer success team has been a huge help getting us set up and providing multiple options to meet our goals.
Not a whole lot to hate about this software as so much is adapted to suit the customers needs. Stability issues here and there, but that is to be expected with almost any software.
I consider myself lucky to participate in the implementation of this helpful software in my company, there are always new things to learn.
We have more than 100 people, and before no one had no idea about what each employee´s performance.
This gives me the ability to price with much more accuracy my products. The other great aspect of Prodsmart is the real-time management.
Understanding of production problems in time. Knowledge of real productivity in time.
Wonderful customer support and they are really close to you when you need a customization.
Great overall structure and continuous development, ease of deployment.
Definitely the ease of use of the system and its ability to really customize the software to work with our manufacturing and production workflow.
Without having to invest in automation machinery. A cost effective choice, suitable for the all kinds of manufacturing plants.
The customer service has been great, specially after the beginning of 2020.
Prodsmart is an effective solution to automate and integrate the shop floor, warehouse, inventory, and accounting.
Prodsmart system has made my ordering process look more professional and organized. I am overall happy with this system.
Ery easy to use , user friendly access, full integration with our ERP as also the provided API's, in order to get realtime data. The webchat is also a key value, support anytime, anywhere.
Most of it is very intuitive and easy to use. The pages load fast and are kept as simple as possible.
Interactive dashboards easy to understand. Quick response time on the support chat.

Pros and Cons from UpKeep users   
+15
Upkeep is great at helping us compile our facility management information in one central location that is easily accessible to different users in ways that are suitable for them.
In some areas there are connection issues with no or limited internet/phone signals. This is an issue when uploading and even some data as been lost.
The tracking for the work orders is super convenient and thorough and allows for reporting to be super easy and helps track problem areas or where money should be spent.
I have to admit, sometimes the error is on our end and it is going to junk mail.
This software is a fantastic tool for monitoring assets, organizing work orders, and preparing your squad's schedule.
It has been difficult to learn the use of upkeep. I believe that a mandatory intro training should be required when a new user is to use upkeep.
This software is easy to use and makes organizing and scheduling maintenance easy. I especially like the request portal so that tenants can submit requests directly for approval.
In general, we had some problems when using and extracting all its content. It was a little chaotic to start using the software and it took a long time to learn.
Upkeep seems great for keeping track of and performing maintenance on large assets that your company may have (think of treadmills, cars or other big ticket items).
The ease of navigation compared to more complex programs like Maximo or SAP makes this a very user friendly CMMS software.
The software is going to be a big help later on, with the reports feature, showing how much time and money is invested into a piece of equipment or asset.
Great for businesses that are looking to keep track of larger value assets. It’s simple to use and scale across the organization.
Overall the system is easy to use. I like that there is an easy way to put in orders for maintenance and I can see where we are in the process.
So far just using the free trial version to see how the employee's like it for ease of implementing a work order.
Both the app and website have worked flawlessly so far. Customer support is very friendly with quick response times.
It’s pretty easy to use and has powerful work order features which integrates well with an existing processes.
Good customer service, always quickly responsive.
It has all of the components of a modern application that you would want including an integrated communication system and the ability to leverage your existing email system as well.

WOW, all that I can say is that probably this is the most important software to make blueprints in the world.
The biggest disadvantage of AutoCAD is that it comes with a lot of problems, which is to be expected from a tool that can do so much. It seems reasonable to me.
The AutoCAD is very good to be used for many industries like construction and industrial / manufacturing process as well, good for beginners and professional level as well.
Sometimes the user interface becomes annoying, file can get very big and may crash the computer, drawings can get corrupt.
I use this program all of the time because their Features are awesome powerful tool and easy for professional and beginners.
It is frustrating when in the AutoCAD updates over the years that the interface has changed so much that it makes it hard to adjust and find things.
Excellent for architects and engineers, all functions and tools are easy to use, and have an excellent cost benefit.
The 3d is terrible and right now the 3d is absolutely need for design.
It is the most accessible CAD software to date with lots of documentation and a great and responsive community. Very user friendly and a well designed interface.
I have been using AutoCAD (Mostly 2D) for almost 9 years now and I found it very useful, easy to use, and great platform for drafting anything you like.
It was one and still is the best Architectural software they was and will every be. I remember how easy it was to make designs and configure settings to my liking.
Great software with a great user interface that has a ton of functionality to it.
Firstly, I like all the features in AutoCAD which make the software one of the best in engineering designs. Also, it is not complected and that make the software easy to use for any user.
I love the shortcut keys for various tools, it makes the job a lot quicker. As a Mechanical Engineer , I really love spending time with different drawings in this cool software.
Overall, I think AutoCAD has been a great addition to our company. We needed a 3D drawing tool and even with the price, I believe AutoCAD was the best software for us.
I love how easily other pieces of software can integrate with it and how you can produce quality looking technical drawings within a relatively short time-span.
This is also backed up by AutoDesk's excellent customer service and a very large catalogue of training documentation and tutorials online.
The software keeps improving with update and the integration with other software as well as the online version gives me interest working experience.

It is the most accessible CAD software to date with lots of documentation and a great and responsive community. Very user friendly and a well designed interface.
I have been using AutoCAD (Mostly 2D) for almost 9 years now and I found it very useful, easy to use, and great platform for drafting anything you like.
It was one and still is the best Architectural software they was and will every be. I remember how easy it was to make designs and configure settings to my liking.
Great software with a great user interface that has a ton of functionality to it.
Firstly, I like all the features in AutoCAD which make the software one of the best in engineering designs. Also, it is not complected and that make the software easy to use for any user.
I love the shortcut keys for various tools, it makes the job a lot quicker. As a Mechanical Engineer , I really love spending time with different drawings in this cool software.
Overall, I think AutoCAD has been a great addition to our company. We needed a 3D drawing tool and even with the price, I believe AutoCAD was the best software for us.
I love how easily other pieces of software can integrate with it and how you can produce quality looking technical drawings within a relatively short time-span.
This is also backed up by AutoDesk's excellent customer service and a very large catalogue of training documentation and tutorials online.
The software keeps improving with update and the integration with other software as well as the online version gives me interest working experience.

It seamlessly integrates with popular project management tools, ensuring real-time synchronization and promoting collaboration.
I first tried with the usual Excel, but the main problem is that in my process there are unit operations that can take a week and others that can take just an hour, thus, there is a poor visual aid.
Overall I think this software gives a good chance to everyone that wants to plan or manage a project to learn to do it fast and effective. I would recommend it to everyone.
Another would move together. So when you accidentally move something, you don't really know how it looks before and this would easily mess the entire timeline.
I really love the support of ganttpro.com. They're happy to help and take your concerns serioulsy.
After copying sometimes it places it in weird spot and you need to do a re-shuffle of tasks.
It is very user friendly, has great sharing features and it creates an appealing chart.
Would like to have a back button. Sometimes I accidentally moved something but I couldn't undo it and it's really annoying, especially with the linked items.
My overall experience is great, the software is easy to set up and use across a team, it has great customizable options and export options.
The best feature of this software is to be flexible in the whole process. The linking of different task and the automatic dependencies are most helpful.
What i liked the most is the simplicity, this software is user friendly and provide you what you need without spending so much time trying to understand it.
The interface is clean, simple and well designed. The ability to track time by logging in hours spent on a task is essential in being able to control project costs and fine tune future fee proposals.
Very nice looking webpage, and good customer service as well.
I especially liked that the layout is very intuitive and I don't feel like I have to go searching for features, they are all laid out for me.
Very intuitive, excellent feature set with great support.
Great for cross-platform compatibility. Extremely responsive customer support team.
We value most the slim design and the easy to use interface. The task integration are cool and the comments section very useful.
I liked ganttPro because it was easy to use and it allows to see the bigger picture of the projectplannnig. You can see who do what task, what the cost will be, how many people who is in the project.

I love how customizable eWay-CRM is and the ability to integrated it with Outlook which makes it great to manage all my customers information and data in one place. The support is very great.
Import was quite difficult at the time because of different language settings, I had to translate the csv first but still hat some problems with some fields not importing correctly.
I have found the speed very impressive and searching for information is rapid and easy. I also really like the way the task management system works as it allows me to keep on top of my day.
Sometimes the synchronisation fails & it needs to be restarted again but that happens 1 in 10 times so its not a major deal anyway.
Even the free version offers very good practicability and is a very good entry point the the software.
Occasional crashes, and after few records sometimes appears error message.
It is pretty user friendly, but what i love is the customer support. Any issue or question I have had was answered fairly quickly.
I was a 10+ years users of the obsolete, outdated, full of issues Microsoft Business Contacts Manager.
At this moment I am happy with eWay and I have recommended my superiors to implement server version as soon as we get funding for it.
Very comfortable with my sales process - no more wishing that it could be better.
I like most how eWay is flexible, customizable. Integration process in our firm was quite easy with the help of eWay experts.
I am not fully familiar with all the functions because of no needs, but for my purposes eWay works great. Friendly and professional support is available if needed.
Intuitive, helpful, easy to follow , great support for users.
Built in Outlook, good service, good value for money, language versions.
Easy to use and great support whenever there are any technical issues.
Integration into my existing Outlook system, easy use and excellent customer support.
Their customer support is exceptional. What I really enjoyed was their patience with us.
It’s easy, adoptable and fits all users. For us as a small company it’s in the right pricerange and has all the features we need.

Pros and Cons from inFlow Inventory users   
+15
We love the showroom and have recently just reached out to customers giving them access. We also just love the GUI and how intuitive it is.
This has on a number of occasions caused me to inadvertently overcharge customers, and is extremely embarrassing when it's they who notice it first and think I'm trying to "pull a fast one" on them.
It's very powerful and affordable for small businesses. Plus their customer service team is one of the best I have experienced.
Iphone app missing some functionality. Missing possibilty for sub-sub location.
Customer service is always excellent and any issues we have had have been resolved quickly and with a friendly manner. We are looking forward to the new version with the Magneto integration.
Had a problem with my computer because of a security update, which caused my inflow to stop working.
InFlow is one of the best inventory management softwares available. I have tried several but the ease of use both in navigation and application is great.
With no long term contracts or dishonest sales tactics you have nothing to lose.
The price is excellent for the capabilities it contains.
Searching is great and user interface is easy to use. Very easy to find what I am looking for quickly.
The inflow showroom is amazing. The customers can actually see what they are purchasing.
Ease of purchase, ease of installation and relatively easy to set up and start using.
Much more user friendly and reliable than quickbooks.
The input of data is simple, so I have all my customer information. The reporting is excellent, so I can find out stock, costs, sales etc at the touch of a button.
Flows with our business, great product for any business, integration with Xero required.
I have a small business with several products. I find the inventory control easy and useful.
Customer service is top notch. A lot of reports, can build customer reports if needed.
The ability to track the progress of orders. Being able to see, on the order itself, if the item for the order is already on order, needs to be ordered, etc.

Pros and Cons from Fishbowl users

+15
They have done a wonderful job in taking care of us from learning to use it to just small mistakes here and there. The support is outstanding.
It is very frustrating when you are in the middle of something to have to force close the program and start over. This happens to everyone in our company so it is not user error or a computer error.
Fishbowl is very user friendly, has great support, and great integrations with our other systems.
We have a repetitive problem with line items coming up as 0, which causes our orders to refuse to ship. It's time-consuming to repeatedly call to get them unstuck.
Our company evaluated about half a dozen different inventory management systems for features, support, ease of operation, price, etc. Fishbowl was the hands down winner, and remains the champion.
Horrible Company, they use to be good now they are just completely useless.
If you need to improve your operations this system is great and its worth every penny.
Very difficult to use for manufacturing such as selecting bill of material and etc.
The Fishbowl Plug-in team specifically Jacobi Sardoni is great to work with as they focus on the problem, help you resolve it and educate you on the way. Over all very professional in their efforts.
Fishbowl is a simple but robust solution and meets our requirements from order entry and order fulfillment at our Headquarters and manufacturing facilities.
I like that there is a way to set multiple locations and easily transfer product from one location to another. Fishbowl Go makes it easy to perform certain tasks without being at an actual computer.
It allows us manage the inventory in our warehouse and integrates with Quickbook pretty smoothly. It is user friendly and doesn't take much training before we can get started.
Excellent customer support on integration project.
The available functions are useful in managing inventory.
The modules are sensible and easy to navigate. It is easy to import existing location and inventory data into the system.
Entering orders with this software is easy and intuitive.
A knowledgeable support team and a WMS with many advanced features needed if an inventory management system.
We haven't seen the full value yet but hopefully, it will integrate with Quickbooks online with some modifications.

We are implementing the Odoo software and the customer service is amazing. Our team leader, she is extremely helpful and intelligent, asking all the right questions to serve our specific needs.
Many errors in Multi Company, bad interface between electronic accounting from México and multicompany functionality. Hard to develop reports, the product need a similar as Crystal Reports from SAP.
It's great to work and develop on Odoo, it's impressive how fast odoo is growing. Maybe is good to create LTS release for big customer to have more than 3 year of support.
Oh well, it can but then you suddenly need to pay their consultants to have it custom build for you. For everything they start saying you need to pay and pay and pay.
This is a great program for usage in terms of getting all aspects of your business together in terms of important platforms like inventories etc.
The customer support is very bad and we are wasting a lot of time.
The mainly most attractive feature is it's opensource. Apart from this helps you to setup your all type of scaled organisation and the customisation is very easy.
Very poor support of partners. Very bad deep understanding of overall solution in odoo (as main provider).
Grsphics and web interface is awesome, installation is easier, customization can be made. Secure and remotely access, available in SAas and local server, even can be installed on your domain.
We made the mistake of purchasing through Odoo and not a reseller and everything was pretty much wrong from day 1.
We were looking for a user friendly and usable solution for CRMso far we are happy.
Great Software Best balance between cost & functionality.
You can quickly add a new module and remove unnecessary. Compared to SAP, the platform is simply superb.
Odoo is very good, practical and easy to use ERP software. Easy customization that fulfils every clients' organizational needs.
Other than this the system itself is an excellent piece of kit and it has helped our business traverse the gap between startup business to SME.
The fully integration is really great. Not needed to use other software.
The way everything works together via API is astounding. I can't say enough about how flexible this software is.
It's an all in one product that has everything you need to manage the business. It's a complete solution at a low cost.

You can quickly add a new module and remove unnecessary. Compared to SAP, the platform is simply superb.
Odoo is very good, practical and easy to use ERP software. Easy customization that fulfils every clients' organizational needs.
Other than this the system itself is an excellent piece of kit and it has helped our business traverse the gap between startup business to SME.
The fully integration is really great. Not needed to use other software.
The way everything works together via API is astounding. I can't say enough about how flexible this software is.
It's an all in one product that has everything you need to manage the business. It's a complete solution at a low cost.

Great hour long video conference where the customer service was amazing. This software is definitely in the running for our switch.
When something is wrong, the application is just suspended without any reason or explanation. It should have a better error handling.
Great Tolls To Mange your Business < So Easy To use after. I love how it mange the inventory.
The inability to go back and fix an invoice, or adjust products after being pushed through to further steps.
The software is amazing we are just starting to use it and we love it.
Very diffcult to manage more than one warehouse in this program and am thinking to leave the ERPAG because of this.
Ease of use, comprehensive features and great customer support.
Not so customisable for my segment as we are b2b one stop platform for healthcare units.
The software made managing our inventory and purchasing/sales very easy and simple. The UI is clean and easy to pick up.
For now Erpag is a good solution because i had 2 criticals criterias and Erpag is ok. I don't need to create manufacturing orders for kits, and Erpag manages inventory of components directly.
All the modules are easy to use and its Comprehensive.
Ease of use and Integration, Database access and ability to customize my reports.
Easy managment of input and output + have very good function of BOM.
They team is so responsive and ready to help at all times. Once you’ve mastered the application, there’s no turning back.
Simplicity of modules integrated together logically with ease options for operators.
Great value for companies looking for a functioning MRP software on a tight budget. ERPAG also can sync with xero, although the feature requires you to update manually.
Good , simple to use software. Meets 90% of our requirement.
The only thing more stunning about the cost of these systems is the complexity. If you have ever worked with SAP you will understand immediately.

Pros and Cons from Onshape users

Then I realized that I could myself produce my own 3D models and I found on Onshape the perfect tool for it. It also has great features that allows you to produce perfect models.
Lack of offline caching causes Models to need to be reloaded when experiencing poor network coverage such as riding down the interstate while working on a customer design.
This is because Onshape is so portable, stable and reliable. It is a solid solid modeler with some very thought through features that are tested with the community before deploying it into the wild.
Printing is a bit of a pain; gotta export / download file and then print.
The stability of the software has been flawless, with minor hiccups being rapidly fixed by the outstanding customer support team.
It is training and support that differentiates competitors. Onshape training is totally inadequate in my experience.
Great support; excellent training available; powerful but economical; fairly easy to begin, even for newbies.
The lack of well-integrated CAM makes the final step in engineering solutions a bit harder than some other packages.
It will be great if you organize on site training, I am sure you can get a good turn out in KL. As a start you can help to build the local Onshape community.
I also love how easy it is to share designs with other members of my team. The import from other CAD file types works great and so far it's just been very easy to use and get used to.
Designing parts and mechanisms from any computer, just wow. Quickly sharing, very good version tracking - it's the real deal.
It offers a lot of lessons for rookies and is generally a great platform for people who are transitioning from a simple CAD software like Tinkercad, to something more complicated.
This software helps generating complex 3D printed objects and smaller architectural projects. It helps with with getting the projects done.
This software seemed to have the best workflow out of the other similar design products I evaluated.
Onshape is perfect for people looking for a funcational CAD without the prohibitive cost. It will do just about all that the major CAD programs will do.
Browser accessibility, live collaboration, app integration. Being able to share with customers instantly is also a great perk.
I love that my designs are cloud-based. I can hop on to any device including my phone and start editing.
The collaborative features allow us to work in remote teams, often on different continents and time zones. Visual communication crosses language barriers better than any other means we know of.

Contains the vast majority of required features to operate a successful e-commerce store. Nice layout, not too bulky, and sticks to what its good at.
Over the past 6 months this has gone from bad to worse. The odd hang, became frequent hangs, then time outs on the server.
The ability to customize reports in word is amazing. The team at Dear are still updating and improving the system.
Frustrating, unsatisfying and I have real worries about the ability for the software to keep up with my business as it grows.
DEAR is a fantastic system which will manage the inventory and sales/purchase process for various channels.
Often times I do run in to a problem, either I entered something wrong and can't fix it, or I need a bulk operation done and need support.
What I like most is that it is built by accountants. Costing is done better than most systems.
Confusing pricing on integrations. Weak b3b online sales system.
Dear is very easy to use, and the tutorials are very helpful. Being web based, it works very well.
Perhaps the most important part is that I was never made to feel like a small customer with a limited budget. Onboarding team, especially Steffi was extremely helpful and professional.
The integrations to eCommerce channels are consistent in their setup and options and allow a great deal of flexibility.
Powerful software with excellent customer support.
I also like that it has a fairly strong inventory management and production modules. Purchasing / Receiving is average but the WMS below average.
Its flexible to use, has ongoing gold standard support at no extra cost, has a great looking interface and has very customisable membership extras.
Although the integration process was challenging, DEAR team was there to help on every step of the way.
The UI is very clean and intuitive. The integrations save loads of time and money.
Easy to intergrate my ebay, website, payment portal. Perfect syn with all platforms.
Super fast respond from support team. It is very accurately in all accounting things.

Inventor is a perfect tool for mechanical drawings as well as 3D mechanical models. Document production is a very important ability of Invetor.
Only downside is it does crash sometimes for no reason when opening step files.
We used it mainly for R&D, in which we find it usable with some features earning a 'good' and even a 'very good.
The platform is very memory demanding, so running the application on multiple computers caused it to crash or slow down.
Really great as the designers have the great experience using this and create the ideas into 3D models and drawings.
I did not like the fact that the program crashes a lot, i would like an autosave function so if if does crash you dont loose your work.
The visualization and rendering options offered in a well-built user environment was appreciable. This was quite advantageous for exporting visually good outputs.
It takes some time to get the look and feel of Inventor and to be able to exploit all differents functionalities.
It is a program of very good benefits when developing 3D animations, being one of the most known and used by the community of 3D designers.
Has a great deal of value in using all inventor products. The PLM system integrated with engineer works great.
The subscription-based price model and great customer support. Much better than Solidworks in this regard.
It creates cleaner lightmaps for objects than many other programs and the built-in render engine is actually surprisingly good, negating the need to export and render elsewhere, saving time.
Overall the experience has been great and Inventor is almost a necessity for anyone who works with cad drawings. All drafters and engineers will want to learn this.
I like the price, its easy to use, i like it alot overall.
In other words, it helps take the complex and break it down to where a manufacturer can get on board easily and quickly.
Ease of use and Vault integration. Makes file management easy.
Easy, powerful, accurate, fun. Just a bit pricey... oh, and you have to run it on windows.
The fact that Inventor is easy to use is a huge plus.
