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..

Switched from [Odoo](https://www.capterra.com/p/135618/Odoo/)[Tryton](https://www.capterra.com/p/146240/Tryton/)[Dolibarr](https://www.capterra.com/p/159500/Dolibarr-ERP-CRM/) The modules and the integration tools it has. 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 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 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 ...

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 SM Salim M. Owner Consultant Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ERPNEXT honest review" September 9, 2022 5.0 Overall experience has been very impressed since I have the dynamics nav background and can compare the two Pros That it is open source and has all the features of a proprietary ERP like dynamics nav. Is ease to implement, support and customize due to the fact that it uses only open source code , python js etc Cons I think the documentation can be improved but it has come along way since inception and they are on a good path of updating docs Alternatives considered [Odoo](https://www.capterra.com/p/135618/Odoo/)[SAP Business One](https://www.capterra.com/p/214667/SAP-Business-One/)[iDempiere](https://www.capterra.com/p/176654/iDempiere/) Reason for choosing ERPNext Simply revolutionary software in one package , open source and open culture.

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.

System Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ERPNext can be a very beautiful app to manage your business " October 6, 2022 4.0 It was good at the beginning but later we are having second thoughts about it Pros It's super user-friendly and customizable and they provide easy to use administration option, deployment is also really easy once you get the hang of it Cons Performance once database and simultaneous user request increase and sometimes the report generation is really slow and it can not handle large company requirements Alternatives considered [Odoo](https://www.capterra.com/p/135618/Odoo/) Reason for choosing ERPNext They were more user friendly and matches more with the business requirements Switched from [PrismERP](https://www.capterra.com/p/147399/PrismERP/) Prism wasn't able to cope up with business needs Review Source HF Hisham F.

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.

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 MM Mohammed M. Virtual CFO Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ERPNext Software Review" October 23, 2021 5.0 After a failed attempt to transition from Tally ERP to Odoo software due to our complex business process, we were able to successfully integrate ERPNext software into our organization. ERPNext has been in use at our company for the past two years, and we recommend it to small and medium-sized enterprises that need to use project, inventory and production modules frequently. Pros \- Simple and easy-to-use interface. - Open-source ERP software, no licensing cost required. - Customization is simple and requires no coding. - Simple to configure according to business needs. - Simplified reporting system. - Well-maintained and actively supported. Cons \- Big enterprises are not recommended. - The software is not suitable for anti-free software organizations. - Still a newcomer to the market, and has yet to earn the trust of businesses. - Customized versions have upgrade issues. - Complex setup for roles and permission management. - The documentation can be further improved. 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.

Deputy Manager (SCM) Consumer Goods Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Cost Effective & Flexible" January 28, 2022 4.0 It is a cost-effective ERP system with all the features in place that give seamless & effective business operations. 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.
