Cons

“We validate our system and each time we are forced to update because they will not support the version we are on takes a lot of time and money. If there are security issues or bug fixes we always apply them and test, but when they are just pushing new features that we do not need and then are forced to spend a lot of time and money to update and validate, it is quite annoying.”
RA

“The 3rd party add on for warehouse management called Datalinx is closed source and takes way too much back and forth to get customizations made by the small staff in England.”

Brian T.

IT Manager

“The learning curve can be difficult for new users, and some advanced configurations and reporting sections require additional setup time and technical support to fully optimize workflows.”
