    It is very useful for a distributor that is handling inventory and customer data. Epicor Prophet 21 gives easy access to their database and it is reasonably priced.

    inFlow Inventory was review and just does not have all the features of Epicor Prophet 21. It would be best for a smaller company that just needs to manage inventory and purchase orders.

    It covers all the modules in 1 system and is easy to integrate the process rather than the other products.

    Not sure, we tested another program, but they as well as P21 was just a basic out of the box limited version. You really can't judge a system unless you use it in the real world. They look great on paper, but when you need it to do something and it can't, it becomes an issue.

    The service module was an absolute requirement and the Prophet 21 option was by far the best out there. Being able to handle many technicians' schedules, abilities and locations, along with tracking customer equipment was crucial.

    I am honestly not too sure about the alternatives; I have not looked hard enough. I would take a look into Salesforce though as it is a great product.

    The other products we looked into were either cost prohibitive or overly complicated. P21 offers a fair balance.

    I have not looked at them in detail, but have received a lot of positive comments through out the industry, we're on the fence in regards to viability of cloud based solutions, but from the information we have received it seems like NetSuite has developed a good solution for …

    We did not select P21 because of flexibility and price.

    Prophet 21 had a better implementation strategy, and also better support during implementation. Prophet 21 was also more user friendly in their look and feel.

    The biggest motivating factor was the hardware/software needs, but our IS/IT department would be better suited to answer this question.

    We felt after analyzing the different systems and talking to their users that P 21 best met our needs. We were able to take the package "plain vanilla" and make it work. The other software packages needed to customize applications to meet our needs.

    Not sure how other Distribution focused ERPs stack up. It is a lot less expensive than SAP the industry gold standard, but is probably missing some key functionality provided from other ERP systems. For the price it does a great job recording the individual transactions that …

    When I did my initial evaluation prior to implementing Prophet 21, I reviewed 18 different ERP solutions. I was able to quickly narrow the field down to 4 applications that seemed to meet most of our business requirements. I invited all 4 software providers to come on site and …
