The implementation has not gone well, many system problems.

I'm glad I have been brought in a job that chose this software. Everyone that I've met and spoke with through tech support is helpful and personable.

This is the most customizable ERP I have ever dealt with or implemented. Love, Love this as it easily can modify to serve the challenges of about any size company, growth rate, and experience levels.

Customers with limited computer experience find the interface difficult to use outside of tasks they perfomr regularly.

The consultants gave employees too much reign over the server and the potential to mess up the data base we were building. Their lack of support for the payroll module.

Once you understand the features and how to navigate, it is a fairly easy software to use. Information is easy to find.

Our implementation and set up was managed very poorly, and we feel that we were cheated by the team responsible for our Implementation and set up.

Due to the poor / complete lack or support and problems with the installation we are about to change to a new ERP system. This would be the worst investment my company has ever made.

The ability of this software to fully integrate all aspects of our business. It is very stable and easy to customize.

Terrible company to do business with and terrible product.

If you do any type of manufacturing and/or have multiple locations, this software is fantastic. This is a very customizable platform that allows for tons of flexibility.

Ease of use, functionality, reporting, scheduling.

Absolutely poor support if any. Referred to external consultants as ECi M1 could not supply technical support.

I like this software because it is very effective and efficient to my team. This is a software with complete package.

This software is highly customizable and provides freedom for the many integrations that we implement regularly.

The low cost of overhead to run M1 is its best feature. It is very robust, and runs day after day with minimal support required.

This software continues to be extremely reliable. M1 is very innovative and always increasing the capabilities of the software by listening to the customers' wants and needs.

This product is very user- friendly. It is really reliable for us in the industry.

The software makes it easy to find a lot of data that can be exported and used as necessary.

Deciding to use ECi M1 has been the worst business decision that we have ever made.

Strong references, good support, lots of function, strong APIs and add ons.

It's a robust, comprehensive solution from a well-known and established supplier. They have great support and help for customization.

If you are  a big organization with multi location or multiple processes then this one is for you. But we careful of taking the cost and training requirement before proceeding.

All information (purchase requisition status, procurement status,financial information etc.) are easy accessible to the Project Manager and hence helps in expediting the projects.

I do not have anything that I disliked about this software, it was everything that it promised and more.

You can find a lot of information in the web and that it makes it easy to learn the basics.

Hard to customize and expensive high investment (human resources and money). Requires high skillful staffs to operate.

It has some features that can help companies to manage their costs, sales and so on. Besides that, the support is good and try to attend our expectation.

Overall It's been a good experience and you always keep learning more things about the software.

The best feature you cannot delete the entries once made in the system and hence it has a perfect audit log.

This software has been very helpful in transacting financial transactions. Highly recommended system.

Really useful tools with a reasonable cost for a start-up business.

It's expensive and difficult to alter. Makes changing business needs difficult to quickly adapt to.

It also has limited integration possibilities with non-SAP systems.

Transaction processing capabilities are the best in the industry with integration across the supply chain from order to cash.

I cannot say enough about the horrible experiences this has brought upon our company. We are a worldwide company and had used the older SAP for years.

Take functionality as well as user-friendliness into consideration. It's important for a powerful tool to be easy to use as well.

It is one of the best software If you can control the user training and inputs in the system. The reports generated by system were reasonable and perfect for our auditors.

Also there is a strong community that can help you find answers. Also i like that is very logical and robust, so this facilitates queries from others sources to get data from SAP Tables.

The SAP is the best platform for medium or high scale industry for specific data separation and evaluation. We can manage the data entry from one to another place and also take advantage of it.

Best ERP system with a very active online community.

Software sometimes has trouble calculating correct tax and gross amounts for invoices when multiple lines, cost centres, GL accounts, tax codes are entered.

Hard to learn, difficult to use, looks horrible, but now its online.

Speed, accuracy, and efficiency coupled with superior customer support make for a extremely robust application capable of expansion.

Sometimes it is difficult to integrate it with the payment system of national banks. Requires modifications and additional costs.

I really enjoy this product, it’s very reliable and the customer service it amazing.

Ease of use rating most impressive. Very user-friendly product, and customer support is great.

It has powerful, thoughtful, and comprehensive functions. It covers all necessary areas and has interconnection between various modules.

I have no recommendations. I don't do comparisons or evaluations on this type of software.

Sometimes, it's hard to find exactly what you need in a sea of options and tcodes.

As a data analyst, the ability for me to go in and create views and queries to run against SAP data is amazing.

I thoroughly dislike the user interface. It is extremely unintuitive.

SAP has very different kind of products but this one is one of the Best as it comes in cloud which reduces the infrastructure cost and time to implement and also it has both ERP and CRM.
