Acumatica Cloud ERP

Pros: Flexible, Modular Architecture
You can pick and pay for the modules you need (finances, inventory, project accounting, CRM, etc.), and scale up or add features later.

Cons: Learning Curve for Advanced/Custom Features
Basic features may be easy, but for more advanced workflows, custom reports, integrations, etc., users need training or external help.

Overall: Acumatica is a strong, modern ERP choice particularly for growing small-to-mid-sized businesses (SMBs) or those that expect change/growth. It’s especially compelling if you need flexibility, modularity, cloud deployment, and a vendor with frequent updates and strong user satisfaction. It tends to hit a sweet spot: more feature-rich (or flexible) than light accounting tools, but more user-friendly and modular than many heavyweight enterprise ERPs.

Pros: Very Customizable Platform
Can cater to most needs.
Secure Workflow
Documentations are offered for each screen

Cons: Has a learning curve.

Overall: Acumatica is user-friendly with a clean interface, though some features may take time to fully master.

Pros: It is very flexible, and with ISV integration and customization, it can provide solutions for any processing needs. The mobility is also a plus, allowing field staff to work directly in the system seamlessly.

Cons: The learning curve is very long since it does not have a very user-friendly navigability. Although there is an option to add menus to favorites, if you use a lot of screens as the base of your work, it clutters the Favorites menu.

Overall: Overall Acumatica gives a great experience, being in the cloud, ability to create custom reports and custom processes, it can very finely cater to any business needs.

Pros: The Solver cloud data warehouse has helped our organization to fully utilize the structure of our GL chart of accounts in a meaningful way. Report Designer assists in creating customized, dynamic reports to meet the needs of our organization. Solver has allowed us to make our financial reporting dreams come true while building efficiencies in our processes.

Cons: The Ad Hoc Reporting tool was established to replace the Composer tool. While Ad Hoc Reporting has greatly improved since it was rolled out, it lacks the tenacity and durability of Composer. We also have complaints about data importing steps backward from version 4 to the cloud version. Solver has responded with plans of improvement. If both of these matters are addressed, our rating of this product will be 5 stars.

Overall: The Solver team has been incredibly helpful in meeting our needs throughout implementation and maintenance. Solver products are intuitive and easy to work with.

Pros: Easy and simple to use and takes little time to training for the users to become comfortable with the tools because of the training materials and help articles available.

Cons: Little bit expensive

Copy function on G.I. has no replace option, Copy paste function is applicable when you created new Generic Inquiry Report.

Overall: For me Acumatica is a powerful accounting tools I love the Generic Data Inquiry and how it can extract data and option export it to Excel thru OData and used it dashboard with a very simple step.

Pros: Ease of use, everything you need in one place, eliminates the need for dozens of additional software's and spreadsheets, integrates with emails, create tasks and communicate all in one place.

Cons: It took a little while to learn, and understand, but the end result is 100% worth a few gray hairs

Overall: I honestly am beyond pleased with this software. It has made my day to day and one off tasks so much easier. Communication and tasks are listed in one place so if someone else is working on a file they have all of the information right there.

Pros: Acumatica is always innovating and coming out with new features. There is a lot of information in the Acumatica Community Forum that will make it easier to implement new ideas.

Cons: Some features are lacking, specifically in the WMS.

Overall: Good system, and great innovative ideas. Easy to set up and customize. Not a lot of programing needed.

Pros: I have been to the NetSuite world, and it is evident that NetSuite won't have survived without a ton of money in marketing the product by Oracle

I never knew about Acumatica till I joined the organization I am in (consumables, in regulated industry).
As a systems person, I am impressed by the four things
- ease of configuration
- role assignment (whoever has used NetSuite knows how painful it is to "switch roles" every single time you have to perform a cross functional task)
- support team that really supports the customer
- learning path (free of cost Acumatica open university; NetSuite is not cheap)

Cons: Some challenges I have seen thus far:

- There is no EDI capability, which means there may be a gap on documents either created or sent over via API/endpoints
- Transportation path is not configurable (or I may not know how to get this one done), which means version control & change management is responsibility of application team/administrator/configurator

Overall: First thing to understand is Acumatica is not a tier 1 ERP. There are shortcomings. Having said that, the company releases upgrades twice a year, and they are significant. I have seen added functionalities every single release.

For a mid-size organization we are (between 600 and 1500 employees worldwide, about half of the workforce has an ACM account), we couldn't have bargained for anything else.

Ours is an on-premise solution (conscious choice), so I will skip the next section on Cloud ERP.

Pros: The features I like the most, are the ease of use when transferring items to different locations and updating purchase orders. The system is built for an inventory specialist especially when doing investigations on inventory errors and finding more details about a product.

Cons: The system does have issues when backtracking or updating many items. The system doesn't allow for changing more than when one item at a time for each location. You always have to go back to the home page to use the inventory details link.

Overall: Even with a few issues, overall the system is very effective and efficient. He makes life working on inventory much easier. When handling errors in the inventory, it helps to be able to dive deeper into the past and movements of the items. They make it easier to find out where the item may have lived in the past and correlate where the item could have been moved to. The inventory needs these types of tools.

Pros: Its real time reporting and handling of multiple companies and currencies with a easy to use user interface proves it to be an excellent resource planner.

Cons: Integrations are limited and makes it harder to import/export data.

Overall: Its ability to be tailored to meet the specific needs of their businesses. The customization options allows to make custom workflows and processes suitable to our needs.

Pros: Acumatica has exceptional ease of use. Easy to import and export data. Dashboards to help guide the business.

Pros: Acumatica has a strong partner ecosystem, with a network of implementation partners and developers who can provide expertise, support, and customized.
