Aptean Compiere ERP Pros and Cons

Support and capability to customise easily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learning Curve is steep making it difficult Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's Java based architecture makes it very extensible and out of the box it comes with a complete set of features. Also it has a somewhat powerful platform to make some improvements without the need of coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compiere is somewhat obsolete. It has a strong but peculiar architecture, and devs need to learn it from scratch in order to make changes and improvements. Also on large scale scenarios its performance decays. Adding new modules is possible but is not the easiest and there are other more modern options that are more suitable for this.

The director was happy that it gave him a good way to track gross profit per sale Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting in Compiere wasnt great. Not sure if it was the way the administrators controlled or programmed things or if it was the program itself. At one stage my Balance sheet didn't balance which shouldn't happen in an accounting program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its simplicity & ease to use the application.

Even create complex reports with the help of stored procedure's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can be little more friendly for new developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The screens and navigation are very simple to follow. There aren't a ton of drop down menus needed to get to the information you need, like SAP or NS. Once you use the system for a couple of hours, you can do 90% of your job without more training, making it easy to train others.

Even when you've been using the system for years, there's always more shortcuts and workarounds to learn to make things more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compiere doesn't have an inventory tracking system that I can tell. Also, the green check mark and big red x buttons have annoying quirks like not being able to hit enter to activate them, instead hitting spacebar when selected does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
