Better user interface, easy to use and self explanatory.

Easy to use as its look and feel is similar to MS Excel. Provides Constraint based planning effectively.

Integration with other interfaces and data load error handling. Less features in user administration.

I have used several planing tools and there is no best tool than this for a material planner. As a developer also now I can easily implement the supply chain solutions to my customers.

On a technical point of view, its very ease to use and get the instant result which we need. User Interface is more cache and attractive.

Can increase application speed when accessing calculated worksheets like 'whereconsumed for demand,ctp activity etc.

Can manage, create and compare multiple scenario's at once. With a few skills can get a great deal of utility from the application.

Training and knowledge is costly comparatively.

The Kinaxis Rapid Response is a very helpful and effective tool. It enables the user to monitor the performance of his business and keep him updated in every transaction.

Very convenient and ease of use for both end users and admins. Very quick in internal calculation and user friendly.

Looks like a simple spreadsheet, works like a supercomputer.

What we like about Kinaxis RapidResponse is that we were able to manage our inventories so well.

Sometimes Kinaxis Rapid Response tool throws unexpected errors.

Data integration is remarkable, with better multi-dimensional data modeling. Very Responsive, a single change reflects concurrently to its dependent changes.

Supports version Control. Kinaxis Support team provides high quality product supports.

Kinaxis RapidResponse is an amazing tool for supply chain professionals.

The advantages like, User friendly, Good in speed. Hopefully, it will be one of the best planning simulation tool in upcoming years for all manufacturing industry that matters.

Some times in the workbook if we have more data it is throwing unexcepted error. For calculation fields, we don't know how RR is calculating and giving the results.

In software perspective, it is easy to implement Business Solution for Complex issues using various Functionalities in RR. Scorecards and Dashboards helps Management to have a Long Term Visibility.

It has been a great experience so far 10/10 so I like it.

Not for everyone, hard to use for some more basic computer users. With many scenario's and Filters can find yourself using wrong set of data.

Need to more user-friendly for Rapid response administrators. Need to have a feature to kill any long query from the backend, still, we are depending on the front-end of the application to kill.

Overall RR is flexible and user friendly for usage. As a project manager I see good performance with other SCM tools which in turn makes user community more happy.

Ease of Use, Flexibility,Great Customer Support team, Easy to explain results. On the cloud options is great.

This is really a business demanding supply chain tool.

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.
