What do you like best about Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Made2Manage Edition?

I like that it takes forever to load and pull up our inventor parts list. This gives me a chance to do nothing for a little while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Made2Manage Edition?

I dislike the interface, the lack of ability to locate unused part numbers other than to scroll down a long list looking for missing numbers, I dislike the icons for command buttons, I dislike how you have to use a separate program (Vertance) to make up for the lack of useful functions in M2M. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Made2Manage Edition solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it to manage our parts, inventory, and sales orders. It does the job, but you can cut down a tree with a swiss army knife too. It's just not a good way to go about doing it. Just as there are better tools for cutting down trees, there has to be a better ERP system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Made2Manage helps us track our labor hours and inventory fairly accurately on a standard cost system.

Recommendations to others considering Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Made2Manage Edition:

This software is geared Towards a Job Shop Type of environment; keep that in mind the software has been out for a long time and as such is probably less buggy than others that don't have the longevity.

Pay for the training as it helps and if you can afford it have a team ready to help implement it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Made2Manage Edition solving and how is that benefiting you?

We upgraded the M2M, because it made more sense for us to do the upgrade than to switch ERP's completely,

Our users were used to M2M, so training went pretty quickly.

We were able to update all our endpoints to Windows 10, and the new M2M will future-proof us.

The SQL database is much faster and more robust than fox pro was.

No more slowdowns when retrieving info.

we were stuck at Win 7 till we upgraded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Made2Manage Edition?

M2M lends itself to great nicknames - Made to Damage, Made to Mangle, Hard to Manage..... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Made2Manage Edition?

There is zero 'drill-down' functionality in the Accounting package Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Made2Manage Edition:

If you are looking for solid Accounting functionality along with the ERP tracking, I would suggest looking at other products. You cannot 'drill down' from one screen to the next. Also, all inquiries are 'reports' instead of 'screen lookups.' It takes a long time to analyze/troubleshoot issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Made2Manage Edition solving and how is that benefiting you?

Inventory management works well, but following the 'cost flow' is cumbersome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
