In order to be able to provide the robust reporting and project tracking features it is important to enter information very accurately, the learning curve for new users can be steep.

Um, it mostly works. Allegedly it's totally customizable.

Can't get basic financial statements. It's extremely spendy. Would prefer to be on NetSuite.

Hello Janet thank you for sharing your honest feedback on Acumatica. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know about areas we can improve on. Could someone from our product/customer success team get in touch with you to go over the concerns? Thanks for considering.
Customizable to meet the needs of the HVAC Construction/Service Industry
Comments: We use Acumatica for Project Managment in construction, which I would say is the strongest part of this ERP platform. Linked to that we use the service module for scheduling service calls with our service technicians. Tied to both of these modules is inventory management and payroll. For the most part it has met the needs of each of these parts of our company.
Pros:
Acumatica is fairly simple to learn and is quite customizable to meet the needs of our HVAC construction/service industry.
Cons:
There are still some ways that it needs to improve in how the different modules work together. There are times where it is not that easy to follow the path between modules.
Acumatica supporting my business
Comments: It is a wonderful system, flexible, easy to use, and it is wonderful to have all our data in one place and easy to find, export and analyze.
Pros:
One platform incorporating all our transactions directly into the accounting and reporting side, easy to use
Cons:
The fact that the timecards do not have a separate module to close financial periods with but are included in the AP module.
Alternatives Considered: Sage Construction Suite and NetSuite
Reasons for Choosing Acumatica Cloud ERP: One platform for project and financial accounting where every transaction naturally filters through to the other. No manual interfaces from other systems. Data is available and easy to analyse.
Switched From: Sage 50cloud Pastel
Reasons for Switching to Acumatica Cloud ERP: It offered a solution for our business where everything could be integrated into one system.
Growing ERP in it's Early Stages
Pros:
The ease of use and simplicity of the user interface. Very adaptable platform and has a growing API vendor list.
Cons:
Not as intuitive and lacks a large community database of support. There also aren't enough people trained to build out the architecture and a large dependence on 3rd party implementation/support.

Acumatica - Robbins
Comments: Overall we have had a very good experience using the Acumatica software.
Pros:
The system is very user friendly. Most of the screens have the ability to download to excel.
Cons:
The financial reporting could be improved. We are using the Velixo add on which gives us much more flexibility.
Acumatica For Finance_ Agriculture Industry
Comments: Great customisations which removes limitations found on other ERP's
Pros:
1.Ability to track projects at plantations per block of plants. It allows management and production team to analyse profitability further by having smaller P&Ls per block. 2. Customisation
Cons:
The default template in the system for inventory does not allow capturing different items issued out of stock on different date so further customisation is required.
Look else where
Comments: Wish I would have looked elsewhere. Was promised the world and delivered very little.
Pros:
Integrated Inventory/Job Costing system.
Cons:
Useless for proper accounting system. Leaves a lot to be desired.

Hello Robert, we are very sorry to hear about your experience with Acumatica so far. Acumatica indeed has Advanced Financials included, backed by the numerous awards and very positive reviews from users. I would be happy to connect you with someone on our product or customer success team to help. Here's more information on our Advanced Financials and the breadth of our accounting system. https://www.acumatica.com/cloud-erp-software/financial-management/
It's a great product if you've got the time to set it up right
Comments: We are still learning it at this point, having used it only a few years, but the more I learn about the system, the more I like it, tbh.
Pros:
Acumatica is highly customizable and has a great support team. There is also alot of information available through Acumatica's learning material as well as forums where many answers are found.
Cons:
The most difficult part of Acumatica is if it's not fully brought on board and understood from the start, the cusomizations applied to the structure end up costing both time and money, because with each update, there's extra work to keep everything functioning the same. But, if you've got someone on your team who understands these sort of customizable cloud ERP systems, and the company, and this person is able to determine that Acumatica is a great fit, this is a great product for sure.
Acumatica Cloud ERP is a game changer to Modern day business operations
Comments: Acumatica Cloud ERP has ensured that their is flexibility and efficiency in project management and this has had a positive impact to our organization productivity.
Pros:
What I like about the software is that it allows collaboration among teams with a lot of ease through its cloud based connectivity. This ensures that projects are well executed with a lot of ease.
Cons:
The pricing can be a bit costly for startups but the returns from its use are immense.
Acumatica is the best alternative for mid-size businesses
Comments: Acumatica replaced our legacy system smoothly and we appreciated the benefits of the changes immediately. i looked at several other ERP's from QuickBooks to NetSuite and Acumatica was by far the best alternative
Pros:
Acumatica is flexible and very reasonably priced. it has many valuable features built in and works well with other applications
Cons:
It takes a lot of expertise to configure Acumatica for a mid-size business. A good partner is critical
If You Need A Good System, Try Quick Books. It Has Better Options Than Acumatica
Comments: The realization that we made a honorably mistake and should have selected a different system. And I fear that when we express our frustrations that they will kill off our service as they have expressed this directly to me in a veiled threat during one of our conference calls.
Pros:
At this time...Nothing. Internally we call it Crapmatica.
Cons:
Acumatica ERP software, in my experience, has been quite disappointing. It falls short in several areas, and I can't help but feel frustrated with its limitations. One major issue is the lack of basic reporting features right out of the box. Unlike other accounting software, there is no intuitive "drill down" function available anywhere in this ERP system. Instead, finding information requires a tedious search or running multiple reports on top of each other.What's worse is that certain essential reports are simply missing, forcing users to rely on costly implementation services to create custom reports. Even then, any necessary adjustments come with an additional financial burden. This lack of flexibility and the associated costs are significant drawbacks.The payroll system, a critical component of any ERP, is another letdown. Despite its high price tag, it fails to deliver reliable functionality. This can cause major disruptions to business operations and create unnecessary stress for users.Furthermore, when it comes to analyzing sales data and estimating costs and hours spent on a specific customer during the opportunity phase, Acumatica proves to be inadequate. The system lacks the necessary tools to input this information for opportunities, such as quotes or bids. This limitation severely hampers the ability to make informed business decisions.I could delve into more grievances, but it would only escalate my frustration. I do not recommend this system.

Acumatica – a powerful Cloud-based ERP System
Comments: If there is a feature that is not available, the Acumatica marketplace is there to help you find a certified partner to integrate a solution. And if you already have a solution, Acumatica's robust API makes integration very easy, it has very good integations with other software.
Pros:
I like that Acumatica is a cloud based platform, in all this time I have used it I can say that it offers incomparable flexibility. Being able to manage finances and pay bills from anywhere in the world is a huge advantage for me. What I like the most is how customizable and modular the plaform is. You can choose the modules you need and adapt them to fit your specific requirements
