Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Includes a lot of modules, all standard, in one package. Easy to install and set up on your own. Startup manual takes you through setup and implementation set by step. Great price!! To keep the cost down, support is email only. Reply time is very swift. Software NEVER crashes. As with any database, if you get disconnected from the server, it does need to be restarted. Running as a server/client, speed is very good. We have almost 1,000 items logged, a pretty large BOM, and the system runs without missing a beat. Running reports or data modules run fast. We are a ISO certified (13485 & 9001) company, and this software supports us through all quality audits. You can run stand alone, client/server, or client/client if you don't have a dedicated server but have several PC's on the same network. New version runs multiple companies. I think this is really cool; they have a 'Beta' system you can install that you can practice on before making a mistake in the live system. ie, copy your current database to the 'Beta' directory. Perform your process that you want to practice. Once you're satisfied you have the hang of it, go back to the live system with confidence. Administrator has a lot of control over user priviledges. Lastly, it has the full accounting module if you want to use it. Or, use DBA to track your company, and run it alongside the accounting software of your choice. BTW, it does export, although I can't vouch for it because I've never used that side of it. Cons Interface may not be appealing to all. It is the last of the non-browser based interfaces. Only runs in Windows, including Windows Server. If you have a server other than Windows, it will not run (I mention to those that may be running a -nix server). Customizing forms can be complicated. There are a few extra templates, but be patient if you want to do any personalizing...the third party software that controls form editing is not very friendly. Does not track user activities. ie, if someone makes an inventory adjustment, it tracks date and changes made, but not the user. Part Rev does not show in all forms.
