Assay development and integration technician Biotechnology Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cost-Effective ERP Solution" May 21, 2026 4.0 Overall, my experience with ERPNext has been positive. It is a powerful and cost-effective ERP solution, especially for small to mid-sized organizations Pros ERPNext is a highly flexible and open-source ERP system that covers a wide range of business functions, including accounting, inventory, manufacturing, and HR. Cons The user interface, while functional, can feel less polished compared to more premium ERP solutions. Review Source Marco S. Engineer Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A professional open source ERP" January 12, 2024 5.0 My experience using ERPNext has been gratifying since I got to know it, it really is a professional tool that continues to be updated daily and creating new modules thanks to hundreds of independent developers who contribute their grain of sand. Pros ERPNext is a professional ERP that has integrated several tools for the accounting management of a company, has several modules and integrations and is intended for different types of companies from small to large, its main advantage is that it is FREE CODE and can be hosted on your server or in the cloud at no cost, is highly customizable once you understand the program interface, the multi-company and if you have any problems or concerns you can solve it in the forum they have. Cons ERPNext as well as having benefits also has small points against and the main one is the installation you must have a very good knowledge of linux to install on a server, although they also have hosting plans, integration with e-commerce platforms has several shortcomings for its operation must be adapted and modify the code for use in South America..

Review Source IT Isaac T. Finance Manager Utilities Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Comprehensive ERP for Businesses " June 24, 2026 5.0 ERPNext is an excellent and reliable solution that helps us handle different business processes and offer reliable solutions The software offers solid help to both small and large businesses Pros ERPNext brings a comprehensive approach in business management, where it supports procurement, CRM, inventory, accounting among others The interface for ERPNext is designed to match the needs of all users with simplicity Cons ERPNext has some technical aspects that needs skilled personnel to address them when setting up the app The app is rigid in handling third party integrations Review Source CC Conn C. President Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use, and highly customizable, but plauged by bugs." September 9, 2022 2.0 The product has great potential! I wish the frappe org would focus more on all the technical debt, rather than new features. Unfortunately, they generally get paid for new features by customers, not for fixing bad code. Pros I love the ability to customize forms, while it could be easier, it sure is nice to make changes without code. Cons Bugs. Unfortunately, open source means that some code is not high quality. Another factor is the poor management of Git pull requests. I've created several bug fixes that languished until deactivated by automated robot after a month or two with little response from product owners. Many of these bugs are quite serious, particularly around the payroll module. Many, less serious and obvious issues, exist over major versions without resolution. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/)[Wave](https://www.capterra.com/p/178021/Wave-Apps/) Reason for choosing ERPNext I liked the customization and the project management modules. I extensively use time-sheets and project costing, which doesn't exist or is premium with other products. In the past, I've supported larger products such as MS Dynamics GP, which had a poor interface when compared to ERPNext. Review Source VR Varun R. Director Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An experience using ERPNext in a hardware product startup in the E-Mobility Space" September 14, 2022 5.0 Pros The fact that the software is well integrated with a wide variety of modules. Other ERP systems would end up with us having a multitude of different softwares each handling their own niche, and all tied together by just Single Sign On. Here, I am able to provide everyone in the company with a login to the ERP system and have access to not just ERP features, but also Project Management, a Wiki and a Learning Managment System. Cons The HR and Payroll Module can improve quite a bit. The way incentive payments are handled require external programming to design an automated performance based pay. Leaves are also not mutable if a mistake was made during the Leave Policy Assignment which was realised only half-way through the year. This also doesn't allow for a leave policy for a person to be changed in the middle of the leave policy period. This is quite important considering the constant switching of employees between Work From Home, Hybrid and Remote, each of which will have a different leave policy within the company. Alternatives considered [Odoo](https://www.capterra.com/p/135618/Odoo/)[SAP Business One](https://www.capterra.com/p/214667/SAP-Business-One/) Reason for choosing ERPNext Odoo looked like it had way too many sub-modules which seemed like quite a bit of effort to put together. The monolithic structure of ERPNext looked good at the time, but it seems like ERPNext is going down the smaller app route now. SAP was just out of our reach in terms of Budget. Review Source MS Martin S. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best choice for teams that have some technical knowledge in house" July 28, 2019 5.0 The community is vibrant and fast. There are telegram messenger groups for live communication. There is a super active forum platform. And there is a structured and well maintained github project. If you want to be part of this community, it's easy to get rolling. Pros The extensibility and flexibility of ERPNext is unrivaled. Every field you create becomes instantly available as an API point in the powerful interface of the ERP software. All relevant core features of an ERP system are mature and help you learn to do it the right way as a company. The team is rigid and consequent in making sure, that this streamlined process of creating opportunities, quotations, sales orders and sales invoices is kept intact which is very healthy and keeps customizations sane. Cons ERPNext is not yet easy and straight forward to use. If you have no idea of ERP software and you have no technical skills at all this is not for you. I would love to see the team focus more on the UX of the interface and the ease of use for new and very occasional users. The software feels like it's really made for experts and daily users. That said, we have compared ERPNext with Salesforce and SAP and the open source solution really shines in comparison. But having all the ERP world suck at UX does not mean that this is an unsolvable problem. Also the documentation of ERPNext is not job or use case driven and very technical at times. We have started to try to help this. But it's easy to ask and not so easy to deliver. Work in progress ... Alternatives considered [Salesforce Revenue Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/265484/Salesforce-Revenue-Cloud/)[SAP Business ByDesign](https://www.capterra.com/p/77379/SAP-Business-ByDesign/) Reason for choosing ERPNext ERPNext is very flexible and extesible through the API. We do have technical skills both for DevOp and for software development in house. And working against Salesforce or SAP would have been much more limited. Also the incredibly high licensing costs for our team of 150 people drove us towards ERPNext. We now heavily invest in the community and still save on license costs significantly. Switched from [Salesforce Revenue Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/265484/Salesforce-Revenue-Cloud/) We compared ERPNext and other solutions with our best of breed approach that had and still has a bunch of different solutions. The challenge with this is that data is scattered across multiple systems making it very hard for employees to get the full picture. Trying to tie this together via the APIs of the best of breed solutions was cumbersome and did not really work. So we decided to get ERPNext as our central place for data and single source of truth for structured data. Review Source Wolfram S. Geschäftsführer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product" September 10, 2022 4.0 We have started using ERPNext in v10 in 2016 and have now made a business out of it supplying ERPNext for germany, DACH, Europe and the world. Pros The software is very easy to customize and with a little practice you are able to collect data in a very orderly fashion in now time. Cons Some of the standards are not consistent which can lead to frustrations using the product at times. Alternatives considered [Odoo](https://www.capterra.com/p/135618/Odoo/)[Tryton](https://www.capterra.com/p/146240/Tryton/) Reason for choosing ERPNext The UI works well and the navigation is simple. ERPNext is straight forward to use. Review Source Hardik D. Automation Specialist Furniture Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best Open Source ERP that is better than even paid ERPs" June 28, 2021 5.0 Pros the look and feel of ERPNext is very appealing. it is inline with the present best practices, followed in UI/UX. Cons The software can integrate with some of the open source PLM Tool like Oddo, and open Source MES and IOT tools. this can create a complete opensorce ecosystem for business Alternatives considered [SAP Concur](https://www.capterra.com/p/380/Concur-Expense/) Reason for choosing ERPNext since ERP Next is opensource tool, we wanted to have a try at this tool Switched from [Infor LN](https://www.capterra.com/p/236603/Infor-LN/) despite very costly software, LN is lacking in integrations. thus we decided to use opensource ERP Next, on a smaller scall at division level. now after success in Small scale, we are currently implementing across all dicisions.

Technology Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "ERPNext - you name it and you have it - almost all the functionalities in a single application" September 21, 2022 5.0 Its an all-in-one application. Just go for it! Pros The ability to customize the ERP as per the need. Cons Documentation can further be optimized, on which the Frappe Team & active contributors are constantly working.

Finance Manager Writing and Editing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Good ERP for Growing Teams" July 11, 2026 4.0 Overall, my experience with ERPNext has been quite positive. As a regular user, I've found it to be a reliable and efficient tool for managing our business operations. Its user-friendly interface and robust features have saved us a significant amount of time and effort, making it an invaluable asset to our team. Pros ERPNext has been a pretty solid choice for our small business. We like its user-friendly interface and the flexibility to customize workflows. It's worked well enough for our team, even with some initial setup challenges. Cons We've had some minor issues with the reporting features, which took a bit to figure out. Also, the mobile app could be more polished, but it's not a huge deal for us. Review Source GJ Gupteshwar J. Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "World Class Truly Open Source ERP" September 12, 2022 5.0 This is a first hand experience with any ERP for the business apart from Accounting Tools we used to have before we made a complete shift. So, far this has been a very first class experience overall. This has not let us down for anything, some of the missing things might bother for sometime but weren't critical so we had easy decision to move on with options. Pros 1\. Simplicity 2. Best of the Market experience. 3. Touches all aspects of the business needs, 4. Wherever short have possibilities to extend and expand, Customisable. 5. Does it pretty well what it offers. Cons Some of the features/modules are still in enhancement and development modes. 1. Project Management. 2. CRM Review Source SA Sayed A. Project Engineer Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ERPNext " April 21, 2023 5.0 9/10, only cause of crashing and customer service please improve it and you will be number 1. Pros The most amazing feature that worked best for us is that its a python based application. saves our time and efforts. Accounting ,Asset management, Customer relationship management (CRM), Human resource management (HRM), Payroll, Project management, Purchasing, Sales management, Warehouse management system, Website there are so many options that we can enable and that actually segregates the work and makes our life and work more easier. Cons The only draw back is that's its python based might not be feasible for other companies. Also the customer support isn't great and also the server keeps crashing most of the times. Review Source LT Laxman T. Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Most Efficient ERP" August 28, 2020 5.0 Pros Free and Open Source Being a FOSS lover, the best part I see with ERPNext its a truly fully open souce, you will get all the modules available, unlike other companies claim to be open source but they arn't. Communication Tracking of communication of internal team and clients was a big challenge for our organization, the way this is handled in ERPNext is so simple and intuitive. Dynamic Customization One need not to wait for the application developer to change the layout of screen, add or change new fields in transactions, designing of print formats and layouts, all such stuff is managed dynamically. Payment Gateways Using this facility we have noticed an increase of 10% in payment collection from the customer, we use razor pay payment gateway with ERPNext so after creating an invoice one can send payment request to customer and after the customer paid the invoice your account gets updated. Cons With FOSS projects, its natural to have more support issues, and there is not guarantee of time that when your issue will get addressed.

Accounting is straightforward. Inventory management is totally adequate. We are on version 11, though version 14 had been released. Pros Able to integrate fairly easily with API access. Uses standard db technology. Can be self-hosted or managed hosting. Cloud or in-house. Open source. Cons Not tailored for NA markets, implementation and upgrading is tedious. Poorly implemented tools such as accounts reconciliation if compared to Quickbooks for example Alternatives considered [NetSuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/135757/NetSuite/)[Dynamics 365 Business Central](https://www.capterra.com/p/212111/Dynamics-365-Business-Central/) Review Source GH Graeme H. Responsable de Production Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fully featured and customisable ERP system" September 14, 2022 5.0 Pros The ease of use of the web interface is excellent. It's easy to see the status of a document at a glance and to move it to the next step of the process. Information entered in one area is automatically available elsewhere, such as contact information, shipping addresses, etc. It's all so well integrated. As well as being integrated it's also very customisable. Fields can be added to any document for any purpose. Custom scripts can be added to perform automated tasks. Cons I found it quite a steep learning curve for setting up the system; creating and importing all the details for the component parts we use and creating the Bills of Materials. But once it's done (correctly!) it's a breeze to use. Using the system to calculate how much of a product it is possible to manufacture and for what date is not straightforward. This area of the system needs some attention from the development or documentation teams. In some ways the flexibility of the system is a disadvantage. There can be many different ways to accomplish the same thing, but they will have slightly different effects on other parts of the system. There does need to be a "recommended" and "standard" method of doing certain things which is given in the documentation.

Integrations of different modules provide visibility & velocity that ultimately reduces variability which is what today's business utmost requirement. Pros It has topnotch customizability that gives excellent ease to its users & more importantly it is neither an expensive product to acquire nor it requires massive infrastructure to run. Cons Since it is a very customizable product & needs to build as per business requirements that is a quite challenging task in itself. Reason for choosing ERPNext An Ideal ERP Suit for small & middle-scale businesses that fulfill business requirements. Review Source DD Devang D.

The software 100% open-source. It provides great security to small scale businesses. - Community driven and transparent approach to development Cons ERPNext user manuals should cover more number of use-cases. They typically cover the standard use-case. Compared to products like Tally or SAP awareness of ERPNext in India is still low, end-user confidence and acceptance has to be essentially be established with trials.
