ETAP vs Acumatica Cloud ERP: Which is a better fit?

Carlos: Hi, this is Carlos. I'm a senior electrical engineer. I use ETAP. I gave ETAP a three. For more information, see the links below. Before ETAP, it was really, really hard to accomplish some of the tasks that we had for some of the clients that we had. Especially in the low voltage [crosstalk 00:00:29] studies and the eye flash and having a way to calculate all the different values required to for our flash calculations. Some of the reasons why we selected ETAP was it's very well known in the industry. They saw a lot of resources. Their customer service seems to be very, very, very useful. They tend to respond very fast. Also they have a lot of presence in most of the cities where if you are trying to find a training class or a seminar, you're always going to be able to find one. And that's very useful. But yeah. So those are some of the reasons. So the onboarding with ETAP was quite straightforward. It really didn't require much effort in our end. It was mainly just setting it up in one of the computers with the licensing, everything. So the downloading process and setting it up really didn't take too much. It was pretty straightforward. So no issues there. One of my recommendations for getting ETAP is that the software itself is very powerful. It's very, very useful. And one of the biggest advantages that ETAP has is that it's very well known and a lot of the industry uses it. And so there's no way around it. So it's a very powerful piece of software and it's very capable. So I don't see any disadvantages of having the software and using it for our flash calculations and short [crosstalk 00:02:29] studies. It's very useful for those types of applications.

Saiful C.: I'm Saiful, project accounting supervisor at Blue Team and I give Acumatica Cloud ERP a four out of five. We use Acumatica Cloud ERP to help keep track of our expenses for our construction projects on the accounts payable side, as well as keeping track of our accounts receivables and also providing income statement financials to our investors. The best part about Acumatica is the customizability, where if we need something that it doesn't have, we can request it and the developers will get that for us. One of the improvements for Acumatica could be exports that are provided for financial reports. Usually there is an issue on the Excel side where all the columns are not properly formatted. So that would be an area of improvement.
