It is a good software

We have been using Focus from maybe over 10 years. It is on very stable platform. Don't remember we ever had any data loss.

Pros

Customised report, after sales service and training the staff.

Cons

Not commonly used by CAs. New accountant needs training.

Excellent Windows & SQL based ERP for SMB and Enterprises

We had to go live with an ERP [comprising of Finance, Procurement and Budget Modules]. Focus was able to go live within 60 days from the project start and managed the incremental functionality upgrades in a smooth manner.

Pros

1. Simple and Easy to use, with limited or no training required 2. Highly customizable core modules, and easy to integrate with any other solution 3. Shorter go live period/upgrade and patches 4. Excellent resources for implementation and support 5. Finance integrated, easy to use budget module

Cons

not any feature in particular, most of what functions we required had worked well.

FOCUS 9 ERP

OVERALL GOOD, BUT YOU HAVE TO REVIEW YOURSELF THE CHANGES MADE ARE REFLECTED IN EACH AND EVERY REPORT AND OTHER LINKED DOCUMENTS ELSE YOUR REVISION OR CHANGES TO VOUCHER / DOCUMENTS WILL PUT YOU IN PROBLEM AS WRONG DATA WILL BE THE RESULT OF MINOR MISTAKES IN FORMULA .

Pros

ALL MODULES AVAILABLE , SALES PURCHASE, DELIVERY NOTES, MRN, INVOICING, PAYMENT

Cons

NEED TO CUSTOMIZE AND STUDY THE END USER REQUIREMENTS MINUTELY NOT READY TO USE NEEDS TO FIT AS PER COMPANY REQUIREMENTS AND THIS LEADS TO ERRORS IN FORMULA EXECUTED BY IMPLEMENTATION TEAM.

Keeping customers info organized. Tracking sales process and team.

Pros

User friendly . Good interface. Easy to learn and use.

Nothing really. All features are exactly what we need

Focus Softnet Review

It could solve our software requirement but crystal report for business need require more efforts and quality check to match with direct ERP data.

Pros

Ease of use and Flexibity to adopt business needs

Cons

Payroll software need improvement and security right feature like field level security not available

Focus is one of the best Accounting Software

Pros

Simplicity is the key feature of this software its reporting is so nice you can check complete report of your venders and customers

Cons

Customer support system is very disappointing if you face any small issue you have to wait long for it to be solved from customer servis and you have to pay extra money for any small changes you want to do in software . proper training is not providing from Software team,

customer support is horrible

when a product is supplied definitely there should be after sales service team and the principal developer should review the performance whether the customer is fully satisfied

Pros

easy to handle.can be accessible from anywhere.Having lot of options to get reports if fully trained.

Cons

lack of technically equipped franchisees and careless direct sales people.Not attentive immediately when some problem happens.

Focus

Just average. Usable

Pros

It almost have all the automated features like SAP

Cons

Many complications/errors arises from time to time, print lay-out need to design or enter the field one by one, not that flexible configuration, problem solving is slow and not available in google compare to SAP and other software.

Focus 8 itself is alright but execution and customer support failed

Customer support is worst i.e. when we highlight our issues and problems they are not able to solve and also did not follow up. Software itself is not stable, too many bugs. Those basic report such as P&L, B/S and GST report are not well set up and difficult to use.

Pros

User friendly, flexible, allow customization, a lot of features

Cons

Implementation took way too long and not professional. What promised could be deliver in the initial presentation was not able to deliver during implementation and did not fully customize to fit into the business. Too many bugs i.e. those report and function used to be alright then suddenly it does not work. There are a lot of issues & bugs that the support team cannot solve and they did not follow up at all.

Feedback about Focus 6RT

I won't say it was great. But it is not bad. Designing should be such that implementation should be quick and flawless.

Pros

Easy to use Import and export from excel was possible.

Cons

Limited to the number of company to which the service is offered. It is required that the service is offered for any number of companies and across all verticals. The architecture seems to be faulty. We noticed it during GST implementation. While others completed their implementation within a month after GST was announced, focus required almost 6 months for smooth functionality. Sometimes the native reports also show up with some bugs. Needs to be fully tested before implementing at customer place.

Focus9 Review

We are managing different processes in different countries by customizing the workflows

Pros

Flexibility, customization, Ease of use, supportive team

Cons

Not having the Financial consolidation module

Good Software for the price & Excellent Support

The overall experience is just fine since there is a balance between price and product.

Pros

The best part of the product is the support and price. The implementation team and AVP is excellent and always available on call irrespective of time and day. The price is extremely competitive.

Cons

The weakest link in the software is the development team. The software does have a lot of loop holes and needs a lot of polishing and tweaking. the user interface also needs upliftment.

FOCUS IS A RELIABLE POS SYSTEM

WE ARE USING FOCUS IN ONE OF OUR LOCATIONS, WE TESTED 4 DIFF. POS SYSTEM IN THE LAST YEAR. What i can tell is that Focus is safer and reliable than most of its competitor.

Pros

Reliable, you can operate even when you are offline (local network setup). For the restaurant operation point of view this is a very good system with many tools to improve control.

Cons

As you have a local network, you will always depend of a local server, if you loose that you loose you data.

It’s Customisation and the ease of reporting

Cons

Software bugs and technical not able to resolve. Critical financial acs, reconcile, customer outsnding, balances got errors. 2 yrs past and still problem exist.

CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

Wonderful ERP package!

Pros

A good Customer database and relationship management software for Small and medium sized enterprise, sales and distribution office where there is a need for team to integrate their data in single platform. Easy to learn and implement. I think a 2 hour introduction of the program to the employees would be self sufficient for them to do various tasks on their own.

Cons

Not many cons of this wonderful ERP solution. Can get employees reliable to this system too much, that a small delay in updating data or system crashing down would have all the staff out of data to work on.

Userfriendly ERP Software

Pros

Easy to Customise and Configure.

Cons

If your functional planning is poor you cant blame software.. It come with a cost.

Focus ERP Poor Customer Support

Cons

lot of bugs, it hangs in between, very poor customer support.

Horrible Techincal Team for a Decent Software

Horrible. It was one of the worst decision taken by us.

Pros

The software has lot of options and can be altered to be used by any business.

Cons

the technical department from Hyderabad. They don't answer calls, and dont even know how to make profit report. the Sales guy makes false promises and then later tells you to purchase an upgraded version to get basic funcionalities.

Under Implementation

Not as expected

Pros

Good reports and good structure of the software

Weak implementation team and not much customized
