Rootstock Cloud ERP vs Aquilon ERP Comparison

The most useful feature is the module links. I can easily get to a customer's file to look up an older sale or the maintenance file while entering an invoice for billing. I really like using the Excel and PDF report export. Our files were all imported into the new software and we were off and running their first day we went live.

There are features that need to be tweaked for some reports. We have special sales tax needs that we are fixing that are unique to us. We have had other minor issues but the Aquilon team fixed them and and made our defaults customary to our desires. Very accommodating team.

HI Darlene Thanks for the positive review, its much appreciated Regards Phil

-user friendly (training a user in a specific module could be completed within weeks) -compatability with integrating external softwares/applications, ie EDI; -very straighforward for any person with an accounting or overall business acumen; -could be synched with CRM softwares in the cloud; -easy to control security parameters of the end users within the company; -good reporting/analysis queries for management

-dependant on the status of the server farm (like many ERP softwares);

The inventory and sales aspects makes for a easy and accurate quote to customers... and it looks very professional in our customers hands.

If I couldn't perform a task, or didn't think it was available; customer support saved the day.

Thanks for your feedback Bill

Easy to use and implement, value for money and it fits the ERP requirements for the company

- It will be great to have more import function in different modules, e.g. PO creation.- More customized reports, e.g. allow users to drag and drop the fields (or check box) to create customized reports for their needs.

Hi Frankie, thank you for reviewing Aquilon ERP. We have noted your request to import more data into a PO. This request is specific to your business, and we will strive to find an economical way to get this done. We will be in contact soon on report writer options.

Aquilon ERP is a great software that seems to have been built with smaller businesses in mind. A lot of other ERP software just did not seem to mesh with what we needed. The fully customizable displays make it easy to find and use the features that you need and actually use.

It having so many options can be a bit overwhelming, trying to find out everything that is offered and where to find it.

HI Nick Thanks for the positive review, it's much appreciated Regards Phil

The software is easy to use. It improves productivity by quick access to different modules and corporations. The official month end closing event forces users to be up to date with processing. Late entries can still be processed by journal entry. The vendor is always on call for support.

Like with any ERP system, for control purposes, adjustments require a correcting journal entry. Smaller accounting systems allow users to click on a past entry and make changes.

It has all the extensive functions that the large ERP software has, but at a very reasonable price. The program is well designed and organized. It runs pretty fast.

It would be nice if the queries can be customized. The current queries are quite extensive but sometimes we do have requests from different department which need to customized query to get the report they need.

The software is very reliable and customizable to our needs. On top of that, the support team is very helpful, experienced and responsive.

No cons were added to this review

Import/Export capabilities with Excel were very good and useful. Really helps cut down the time of implementation. Good support with the software as well.

Need a bit more flexibility on what can be done with & inside jobs (WIP).

Thanks for your note Kim. We never stop developing the software and we have a big push on now to improve our manufacturing estimating module and work in progress. I am sure you will be pleased

Ease of use

I find the interface is sometimes little arcane

We are currently redeveloping our interface so current customers have a mixed of the old and the new interface. We are more than 75% complete.Customers love the new interface which is more intuitive and easier to use.

The amount of detail in every module - how easy it is to setup - absolutely love the export to Excel. Love the full integration Vendor is very easy to deal with- listens and answers any questions. Full range system-great price. Ability to import data for setup and ongoing day to day work. Things you do not see in even large ERP systems.

So far I have found nothing I don't like on this product in my use for the Yarn shop.

Once we were trained and understood the software we found it easy to use. The data queries allow us to setup the data the way we want to see it for our products and customers. Our old software did not have the same flexibility and power.

There is not much not to like about this software, it does everything we want and more

HI Rob, Happy to hear that you are satisfied and the software is working well for you. Thanks for taking the time to do the review P

Being a small company we all had some interaction going through the process. Integration was a painless process from a customer service representatives perspective. Training was simple and straight forward once company SOP's were in place. Access has never been issue using the cloud based version.

There were some settings that were not set the way we needed to capture history early on. The problem was resolved quickly once discovered.

Hi Kevin, Thanks for the positive review, it's much appreciated Take care Phil

We are a small manufacturing and distribution company, approximately $15M in sales. We were forced to move off of our old server based package as it was barely being supported. Between constant problems with Microsoft update compatibility, security issues, and connectivity problems from our server to other locations, we knew we had to change. Cloud based solutions seemed like to route to go. After reviewing and trialing some packages, we decided upon Aquilon. For a company our size some packages were ridiculously priced, in comparison, Aquilon seemed fairly priced for a small company with our needs. The leadership of Aquilon was involved in the sale, which also was a major selling point. Just great personal service and support. And it continues to this day.

There were some reports on the old system I missed, but we have created custom reports now that give essentially the same information. As with other cloud based subscription products, we are now subject to the razor and razor blade business. But there is comfort in not worrying about server problems, software updates, backups, connectivity issues with our branches, etc.

Hi Denny, Thank you for taking the time to review our product and services. P
