SYSPRO Review

PROS: We installed Syspro on Windows server and everything runs smoothly. It is easy to set up as a private cloud, something that'll probably take more complex steps with more robust ERP systems. Hosting it gives us better control over network traffic and allows a seamless integration with our SQL data. Generally, we don't have any issue with Syspro in our client server.

CONS: It can only take enough load, which works fine for us today as a mid-sized enterprise. Load balancing can be a bit slower than what we'd expect during peak EDI. Syspro is best for a small operation and I imagine it can get tricky if you're a multinational business.

PROS: Syspro is a great software! First of all, it's display is clean and easy to navigate through. This makes the processes quite easy to work with. In the rare chances that I'd run into issues, representatives from their company were able to walk me through the solution quite painlessly. It is packed with tools to that are actually helpful in the manufacturing sector of my company as well. From keeping track of orders and costs of production, to creating workflow calendars, and all the way to shipment, Syspro provides the complete support that one would look for in an ERP. Me and my bosses couldn't be any happier with this tool.

CONS: You'd need to sit through the planning of implementing this system, which can be a time-consuming and tedious. As in the case of most ERPs, you'd need to take the time to strategize how best to maximize this software.

PROS: From inventory monitoring to issuing invoices, SYSPRO has done a really good job at helping me stay on top of my business. I 'm currently studying the ins and outs of its more advanced uses so I can fully utilize this tool.

CONS: Just a word of warning: this isn't the best option for those who plan on winging the implementation process of their ERP tool (but this pretty much applies to tools similar to Syspro). Just take it from my company. We're currently rebuilding our systems because we've learned the hard way to always have a blueprint before working on the implementation of a system.

PROS: What we like about SysPro are its customizability and flexibility. It allows us to modify its formats and fields and even offers great functionalities like the ones available in expensive ERP products. It offers a plethora of features such as work order tracking and financial management, which we also added to the current modules. It also helps make the process of transmitting invoices and strengthening our customer services a lot easier. All modules are adaptable to our changing business needs. The user discussion even keeps me in the loop about what’s new on SysPro.

CONS: Advancing to the software’s latest release is very time-consuming and tedious. Some features, setup, and installation take much time and effort.

PROS: It is very easy and quick to receive statistics and other information on Syspro. It also allows each user to customize what and how they see information. I like how it is flexible and easy to use. Also, every module in the system share the same visual feel, this makes understanding it pretty easy. The learning curve is not steep at all.

CONS: There have been some issues with JAVA updates. It integrates really well with Syspro SRS system but whenever updates come up, we have to make some edits ourselves. There are times where these port updates led to more problems than fixing them. We hope that before such updates gets released, there would be more testing.

PROS: Syspro gave me a lot of flexibility when it came to setting up my profile and its layout. I had a say in the information presented in the reports too, regardless of whether I would generate a standard or custom one. Either way, I'd always get thorough and extensive insight from them that had plenty of room for modification.

CONS: I had a few minor setbacks when I was setting up my account. First, the layout kept on resetting. Then, I found that I could only register a single email adress when setting up my profile. I suggest they allow for different addresses based on your role as either a buyer, owner, etc. It took me a while to fully grasp certain capabilities of the software in terms of handling larger inventories too.

PROS: I have to admit that there's not a lot of mid-market ERP solutions that can beat Syspro. One of its strengths that we appreciate is that it doesn't claim to be the single solution to a number of problems, but that it can bring together and integrate different solutions to solve those problems. I was able to give front-facing people in the company information about the backend since its API allowed for a Salesforce integration. So, we get to consolidate our customer data with transactions, campaigns and deals, which helps us a great deal in forecasting margins and budget. The good thing about it is I didn't have to learn code to make those integrations either, so I had more time to do other tasks.

CONS: Users who are checking if Syspro is a good fit for them might find its different integrations a little daunting, especially since they aren't embedded in the main product and don't necessarily follow Syspro's standard interface.

PROS: Syspro is just what my company needs. It allows us to manipulate its environment in a way that serves us best. Plus, it allows us to call the shots when it comes to the implementation of this program while still providing top-notch customer support in case we run into a few snags. My favorite feature, however, remains to be the generation of quality and customizable reports. It really gives the company valuable insight that we can actually build our plans of action from.

CONS: Admittedly, screens do have a tendency to stick when using this tool. Lag time can be quite frustrating and I've called up their company quite a few times to ask them to exit me from pages that I find myself stuck in.

PROS: I like how the modules lend visual consistency but are customizable at the same time, it brings a sense of unity to the whole interface. The uniformity of customizing the software is a big help for us company administrators. Another thing that I like in this software is that you can lift and shift your process from your sales-to-accounting to your purchasing-to-accounting process with just a few tweaks in the configuration which saves us time and workload.

CONS: It is understandable that one of the program's advantage is its flexibility to cater to different types of business operations and workflow but it is also a double-edge sword as the interface is also loaded with unnecessary settings and other options, it would take time in the beginning to clear things up .This problems also applies to their security settings if you need to calibrate the controls for accessing your data.

PROS: The Syspro user interface, and the product as a whole, is simple and customizable. Product support is also available and accessible.

CONS: Syspro could have a lower price tag, but all things considered Syspro is actually worth the slight expensive price.

PROS: We have everything under one system. It's much faster now to plan, schedule, track, collect... when data from production are in one place. The ERP can be extended to other business units, but we're okay with just having our manufacturing unit in order.

CONS: The SRS reporting can be improved. Crystal keeps crashing during install. The option is to reinstall the Syspro client (it worked), but it's an unnecessary trouble.

PROS: I like the ability to mix and match the modules in a way that plays along our budget and needs. We started with the accounting module, as we wanted to consolidate our financials, then we added supply chain management, then inventory, over a one-year period. We made sure that the teams understand the underlying goal to work closely together before we hooked them up to the ERP. This scalability, gradually introducing features, allows us to maximize the system--all features are optimized.

CONS: As with any ERP, the main challenge is in the setup. While the vendor will tell you it's intuitive and easy to get it up and running, I'd advise to have a tech point person. We have, so we're able to proceed smoothly with the migration.

PROS: As a professional who leads a team of inventory staff, I found SYSPRO software as a great help at work. It offers several valuable capabilities and features such as an easy to use interface which made my job more seamless. I was able to search and get important inventory related information in a breeze. Various integrations are also available. But what I really like best about this system is its overall layout. It is simple yet fast and robust.

CONS: The software’s new version is loaded with so many features not available in the old version. So the latter become quickly outdated. Therefore, if you really wish to get the best of the system, you need to acquire the updated one. But overall, SYPRO is a good system to have specially when you need assistance in setting everything up from the start.
