Intuitive ERP from Aptean, a software developer's perspective
Pros
- Easily allows adding fields to the database. The data manager reads all fields, so just adding a field automatically brings it over.
- Optionally purchasing a tool called "Form Wizard" allows non-programmers to add new fields to a form and move around existing fields freeing up the developer to work on other things.
- They have a wrapper for the DevXpress grid which allows individual users to add and remove columns pertinent to their specific job.
Cons
- Documentation. The design of en extensible system works well once you figure it out. Some things can be tricky and time consuming.
- They provide no support for customizations. I can understand not wanting to help write specific custom code, but they refuse to even tell anyone what a method on a base class does unless you pay them $200 an hour.
- Their proprietary design can cause modifications to take longer. If you use one of their forms you can not load it, you must call their launch function and put you code in the "Execute" method. If they were more standardized the documentation issue would not be so bad.
Return on Investment
- Since we can customize it I would like to think it has been beneficial.
- It is difficult to measure how well business would have done without the software.
