It also has the ability to have customized development, and things like the Epicor BAQ's, Dashboards, and Business Activity Manager features allow customizes information, exportable grids, and notifications to be setup by administrators and even end users as these modules are user-friendly and fairly intuitive\! The Shop Floor Data Entry Module (MES) is also very intuitive and simple to use for the users on the production / manufacturing floor. > > **Cons**: Epicor ERP is expensive software, and since it's such a wide product that handles so many aspects of your business, setup really must be done according to Epicor's recommendations and completed thoroughly. Also, since it's so flexible, there is a lot of it that you won't use, so it's best to create clear work instructions for your team and/or hide fields and/or functions that you will not need to use. > > Over the course of nearly twenty years as an Epicor admin in manufacturing, my experience has been fantastic. The software is simply to use, extremely flexible, and the ways that the data can be extracted (reports, BAQ's, and Dashboards) make it a VERY powerful analysis tool when the time to enter data is done properly. The support team is also fantastic...and while maintenance and support is expensive, it's worth it and you get what you pay for. ----- ### "Epicor Kinetic Review by a CFO" — 4.0/5 > **John** | *1 August 2025* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Epicor Kinetic offers several advantages including: 1) It is very user-friendly. I was amazed at how easy it is to learn and navigate; 2) It is customizable. We have customized everything from the start up screen to the inner mechanics of the system; 3) It is easy to access - whether you are in the office or working remotely; 4) It supports both large project management and high-volume manufacturing environments. > > **Cons**: Some of the features are quite different between the classic version and the new version of Kinetic. There is a slight learning curve to go from one version to another. > > My overall experience with Kinetic has been positive. I have used several of the more well-known ERP systems; however, they are more cumbersome to support both large project management and high-volume manufacturing environments. ----- ### "ERP system that is easy to setup, easy to use, and has the features you need and want." — 5.0/5 > **Jack** | *8 October 2019* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Like the fact that it had the features we needed, was easy to use, and see continued effort by Epicor to improve it by adding new abilities and features to it. We get great support and training is available in many different forms. > > **Cons**: Cost was a little higher than what we initially were thinking of in our budget. However, after looking a many ERP systems we quickly found that Epicor had what we wanted and felt that it was worth the investment. It has been 10 years now, and still believe we made the right decision to go with Epicor as our ERP system. > > We rely heavily on a product configurator and Epicor had the best configurator we seen on the market. Epicor has continued to improve their product, adding new features, making it available while mobile. The third party software plug-ins are great and add many time saving functions that are easy to use. ----- ### ""Kenetic "Great support and smooth process with a few tweaks needed it's a nice balance reflection of for your experience" — 4.0/5 > **Raven** | *4 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Connect it really impressed me on multiple levels I love that the customer support was awesome That's always a game changer and having strong the strong process and production management is a big plus and also no books that's a win win in my book all the way around > > **Cons**: I believe that there is a weak spot in the in the connected and it might be in the document management feature or maybe it's overall value for the money it's good to have a balanced perspective on all of it All in all though I really can't say there's any cons > > My experience with Connecticut has been pretty positive I appreciate their top notch customer support and reliable features even though there might be a bit of room for improvement in the document management part or the value and the money overall though it's it seems to be a solid company happy I chose them ----- ### "Robust ERP System Ideal for Manufacturing" — 5.0/5 > **Alicia** | *21 November 2019* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easily mass upload and update data. Configurable modules to meet your business needs. Responsive, knowledgeable and helpful consultants. > > **Cons**: Some restrictions which are costly to customize and work around. Forms are not easily edited. Many modules are an extra added cost to subscribe every year. > > We’ve been pleasantly surprised at how it is turning out to meet our business needs, while knowing the amount of work necessary to get it set how we need. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/3205/kinetic?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/3205/kinetic) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
