Chose Epicor Eagle
I have used Horizon Retail Solutions, Microsoft Dynamics GP, and Eagle N Series. Eagle has been the best option of the three by far. By being fully integrated as one product, Eagle N Series keeps track of every transaction on an individual level. While I did prefer some of …
Chose Epicor Eagle
We were already Eagle customers when a guru from our parent company recommended we switch some of the computers on the system over to N Series. Now that I primarily use N Series, it is especially when I find myself on a computer that does not have it, that I realize how much …
Chose Epicor Eagle
We have only looked at a few. None of the systems we looked at compare to the Epicor. The support team at Epicor is outstanding. The product performs great and we have been with Epicor for so many years, it doesn't make since to trust our business to any one else.
Chose Epicor Eagle
All other systems are much more open, and have many more nice, visual features for the user. They are also much more flexible in configuration, which you can do easily by yourself or with an implementation partner. In our experience, support of Eagle is very limited and not …
Chose Epicor Eagle
I only know that our company has always used Epicor since their business began in 1989.
Chose Epicor Eagle
Epicor is very customized for our business and business model. It has greatly enhanced our ability to perform daily duties. Microsoft Dynamics would give us a better back end accounting system and some reporting tools that we wanted but wasn't going to provide us the necessary …

Epicor Eagle is well suited for a retailer who wants to grow and learn the wide ability of the software. You need to invest the time to learn the tools and use them to grow. It is not for the retailer who is simply looking for a cash register. It is truly a business management tool.

It will suit simple small size businesses like mom and pop shops. For a mid-sized retail company with more than 100 stores, it runs way too slow and lacks a lot of functions.

Pros
  • Epicor Eagle N Series helps us immensely with our record keeping for our customers and vendors. I would hate to have to do all the research with the assistance of Epicor when a customer/vendor calls and request help with their account.
  • I really appreciate how Epicor keeps everything in a date/time order due to the situations that occur when a credit card user requests verification of their purchases/person who signed on their account. This make it so much easier to recall and verify (and lots quicker, too)!
  • It is a great help that Epicor gives us with our inventory. We don't have to do a large inventory search (most of the time) and it is quite accurate!
  • The Point of Sale usage is amazing (even with all the human errors that occur)! This comes in very handy with recalling a sale when someone is trying to do a refund, too.

  • Stable and reliable (we never faced any issue with the data).
  • Handling promotions is easy.
  • Easy reports.
  • Retail Pro's support network is strong. We get support in all the regions.

Cons
  • Reporting can be improved especially when it comes to accounting
  • Have an undo or back button with approvals to avoid all sorts of accidental mistakes showing up in the GL and their subsequent corrections
  • Add additional functions that are standard in some accounting systems with regards to AP, AR, and GL management

  • Always crashes. Runs very slow. Part of this is because it does not fit the size of our company anymore.
  • Lack of capability to integrate with accounting software. We have to use Access tool to pull sales journal data from Retail Pro, then import to our accounting software.
  • The interface looks very out of date.

Eagle N series is a great tool. It really compliments the Eagle 4 Windows. The additional features are really nice to have. You can never have too much information. It helps me make better, wiser decisions. Eagle N allows compass functions without having to leave what function I'm in and see the additional information. GREAT TOOL!

First thing, all of my business users are happy with the usability and reliability of retail pro. Users are able to get what they want to run the business positively. We are able to customize the solution any time based on the business requirements. Finally after working on different solutions we found a solution that works with little support.

Usability
There is a lot of information provided in Epicor. From Simple viewers to detailed information for the owner of the company, there is a lot of information. Also, let me mention, the Audit information. From a simple sku change to deletions, everything is recorded in an audit trail. It really helps to stop a thief or simply help you see what you did so you can undo it. Epicor also has a great security system. Their security bits allow you to decide who can perform what function. There are a lot of options to the funtions. This allows you to customize functions to your operation. We are not all alike!

Support Rating
When I call in for support, they connect to my problem, view my computer with me and walk me through a solution and fixing the problem. They educate you and explain in simple terms what they are doing, how and why they fix it. This way, you understand and feel more confident moving forward and I am more efficient using the functions next time. They really are very patient.

Retail pro is a solution which needs minimum support, so we can concentrate on other productive work. Worst case if there is any problem our well trained Zimson team is able to handle it on time. Thanks Retail Pro for its world class support and training system. No wonder why all top retail brands use Retail Pro for its POS operations.

The process, from my point of view, was handled very well. It was a smooth transaction with lots of support both on site and by phone. All questions were answered and everything was explained each step of the way. A lot of information and support were provided including decisions on options and securities.

While I did prefer some of the reporting in Dynamics GP, Eagle N Series gives me more confidence in the financial performance of our company.

Return on Investment
  • I can't say for sure that Eagle N Series has had a major impact on our ROI. We only use it on a few of our computers.

  • It decreased the home office's efficiency because it runs too slow and always crashes.
  • At the store level, it causes cash over short/duplicate charge issues when it crashes.
  • For the inventory and planning department, it impacted the accuracy of inventory level due to the lack of functions.
