Pros:

Full integrated system that can share real-time information throughout the organization. The reporting and filtering and drill down to what you are looking for is smooth and easy to use for everyone.

Cons:

Even though the support group is knowledgeable and easy to deal with. All requests or errors need to be logged on their portal prior to getting immediate assistance. Sometimes it would be nice to just call someone directly.

Reasons for switching to Explorer Eclipse

We were looking for a full ERP system to intergrade throughout the organization. This provides all users with information much faster.

I would not recommend

There was a big red flag at the beginning when we were setting up and I wanted to speak with other users to see how they chose to do some options. So I could get an idea of what would work for us. They wouldn't give us any or even have some contact us to talk with. Numerous times the autopost goes down and it takes them a week to get back to me to fix things. Charging for training when I believe it is items that aren't. Anything that needs to be coded is something that I don't believe is training. And lack of training and overcharge if you do need it. Most of the time it's back end settings which I don't have access to.

Pros:

At first it seemed like it would be a great program with lots of options to solve everyone's issues

Cons:

None of the modules speak to each other. If you put your logo in one you still have to do that for each module. Nothing is live and always has to be submitted. I find it very redundant in the enter/tab/use mouse. Nothing is streamlined. If you want to print reports, there are no headers on the paper to let you know what report you printed. Everything needs to be set up and unless you are a computer IT programmer which they expect you to be, they want to charge you training time for what I believe should have been set up in the initial set up phase.

Reasons for choosing Explorer Eclipse

Vendor Response

Hi Rhonda. We appreciate your feedback. There is often confusion over what our Onboarding/Training hours can be used for, which includes configuration, setup, and how-do-I training. We have a listing in our help library that describes items that would fall under the category of billable services vs. non-billable services to assist in clarifying those concerns. We also see that you utilize word reports quite often. Eclipse has many new features available from the legacy product (Pivot) you were previously on, including Business Analytics, which allows for greater flexibility, customization, and inquiries that can be easily exported to Excel. A pitfall of this high customization capability is that each word report can have its own custom header, footer, formatting, and font, which can be cumbersome for some. We’re truly sorry to hear about the frustrations you’ve encountered, and our team will reach out to assist you further with this matter.

Good program

A good program with room to improve. It could do with some updates and streamlining, but it's a good, basic program.

Functionality

Pros:

The layout is straightforward; it's very similar to Excel in its formatting. The customization is also useful.

Cons:

Could be more streamlined. Tickets currently have to be entered one at a time, which means repeatedly entering the same job information, rather than just the information that changes per job.

Highly recommended

Having used a couple different versions of Eclipse, the software company is always on top of better enhancements to make it more user friendly and easier to follow how data is entered.

Functionality

Pros:

This program is very user friendly. Easy to use and/or create reports. The data entry flow is easy to follow without having to jump to different fields as you go.

Cons:

Remembering to use either the tab or enter buttons on certain fields to ensure that the data saved. Having to "close" pages. Hung sessions.

Reasons for switching to Explorer Eclipse

We are a growing company and needed a better system to handle the mass amount of information that needs to be entered into both systems as just one.

Payroll with Eclipse

Starting Eclipse was rough. It has a large learning curve with lots of errors and set up issues along the way but now that all the bugs are ironed out and it is set up in the way we need it it's a breeze (most days)

Pros:

Payroll processing through WTE is great, love using that. Like how every hour can be coded to jobs, project and using cost codes we know what everyone is doing with their time as well

Cons:

Customer support - you never know how long it will take for someone to respond. The error screen - when errors occur it doesn't tell you what you did wrong, you just know there's an error and you have to guess and check until it works again.

Functionality

Pros:

I find the program quite user friendly - the main functions are very easy to grasp. Menus are nicely sorted with a search bar. One of my favorite feature is - Inquiries for each module are customizable to many fields and can be exported into Excel to further customize . The support is also fairly good when we have problems. Friendly support team.

Cons:

The lack of integration capabilities with other software. we do not use the PO module with Eclipse and use a different program. it would be great if we can easily integrated, but it is not something that can be easily done. We have in house programmers to assist, even with this, we are not able to do the integration. Another area I would like to see improvement is their help on set up. Eclipse needs a better Help menu where users can get guidance on areas such a set up. There is a limited help menu at the customer portal, but I don't find it too helpful. they do provide help through their support, but it is billable. I understand certain training should be billable, but simple set ups should be available for helping users.

Not as Intuitive as I'd Like

My overall experience with Eclipse has been mediocre. Once I learned to use the system in all of the areas needed for my workplace, it became much easier to navigate and understand. Learning the system was somewhat of a challenge for me, as I was new to the construction field and I had to use step by step instructions repeatedly until it became second nature. So, the issue is not with the software itself, it is a combination of my lack of knowledge of the field and being a new employee with the company. Once I learned all the steps and used it regularly, it became much easier to use as expected.

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I like the amount of information you can view; how you can add and remove columns to include the data that you need and remove the data you do not need.

Cons:

I dislike that the software does not seem to be very intuitive. In order for me to learn to use the software, I had to use step by step instructions, as many of the features and fields were not obvious as to what they are used for and what they can do. I also dislike that there are many visible fields in data entry areas that were to be left blank and I would have liked to see those fields completely removed to eliminate confusion when first learning to use the system.
