3rdwave 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

How Software Advice ensures transparency

Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

Great software package, but not a full blown ERP

Pros:

Process flows are best in class. The new web interface is a marvel to behold.

Cons:

Lacks many features required to be a full blown ERP solution. No accounting, CRM, etc. Mostly good as an inventory management system.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your review and great feedback! We are still building out our feature set. We are not a CRM or WMS, and have no intention of developing these applications. That said, we will be releasing our Accounting module in 2019. Our goal is to meet the needs of our customers, and we continue to build out our features that they deem most important. The Features/Functionality score should improve dramatically over the course of the next few months.
