Pros

“The interface for ERPNext is designed to match the needs of all users with simplicity”
IT

“The app is rigid in handling third party integrations”
IT

Isaac T.

Finance Manager

“Also, the mobile app could be more polished, but it's not a huge deal for us.”
IW

Isla W.

Finance Manager

Pros

“It brings finance, CRM, purchasing, supply chain, project management, and HR processes together in a single system instead of requiring multiple disconnected tools”
LL

Lynne L.

Manager

“I really appreciate that SAP Business ByDesign offers a wide range of integrated modules, covering key business functions such as finance, supply chain, sales, project management, and human resources”
LJ

Lumi J.

IT Technician

“It shines in offering real-time analytics, streamlined integration across departments, and industry-specific modules that support diverse business needs.”
BC

Bien C.

Systems and Service Operation Analyst

Cons

“Generally a new version changes all the database structure, then so many different scripts have to be constructed to migrate the business data to the new version. And in general the procedures indicated by ErpNext don't work easily.”

“Also the customer support isn't great and also the server keeps crashing most of the times.”

Project Engineer

“The only draw back is that's its python based might not be feasible for other companies.”

Project Engineer

Cons

“Sometimes retrieving data for analysis that has generating reports can be very time consuming.”
CR

Cory R.

Ops

“The only con that I have found is that the product is sort of business specific, they have limited options for customizations.”

Logistics Manager

“One of the major issues is a high cost for small bussiness and also require more effort to learn”
