First, M1 runs on an elegantly designed SQL database. The database structure makes it easy for everyday users to gather and parse data to make good business decisions.
Second, the on-premise software can be customized without compromising the integrity of the core product. This makes it extremely useful for unique business environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Layout is simplistic, easy to maneuver through each area Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some fields are limiting to the information added in them. It seems like every time we need a change, there is a modification fee Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
M1 is very customizable which makes mining the data out of it very easy. It makes everything very transparent and movement between departments is so much easier with this program than the multiple programs we used before. I love that everything can also be paperless. It makes life so much more simple! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For our company we don't currently have anyone who knows how to write code so we have to pay for the customizations we get. Our company does entire sales orders as jobs so that can also be a bit cumbersome for clocking in and out of jobs for shop floor entry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Having changed ERP systems several times, I understood all too clearly the amount of software modifications we would need to make to accommodate our needs. ECI M1's beautifully designed relational data base, easily accessible and complete data dictionary, Design Studio for both forms and code, ease of making additions and changes to tables, and--when you get in trouble--access to software support made the change as painless as possible. Data Manager, which allowed us to download date from files in our old system to excel files, then upload that data into M1s table configurations, virtually eliminated the task of data transfer. We made the transfer over a weekend and were up and running on Monday! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Upgrading from version 8 to version 9 proved to be much more complicated and time consuming than expected. While the pure M1 changes upgraded without issue, much of the customized tables and code required a lot of time to repair and return to the same level of functionality. Many customized forms and reports failed; some of these needed to be rewritten entirely. The change to a .net framework scrambled forms that had been set up to optimize workflows. While version 8 was supported by thorough and complete user guides; version 9 was not. Forms flow changed totally without support of tutorials showing how to restore the customized forms to your preferred settings without giving up access to many of the desired features of the new framework.

We loved our implementer as well as the support we continue to get from ECI for the past 5 years. Software encompasses all of our business from quote to payment. The software is easily customized which makes it taylored to our unique business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like that they took away the red button in V9 or that the pop up messages stopped in V9. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The must helpful is how the software is customizable and let the administrator develop/adjust new managerial tools: forms, grids and reports analysis.
Help us to accomplish the must important tasks in the supply chain.
user friendly and intuitive.
M1 helps to track the flow product in the entire supply chain, from the purchasing to the shipping passing by inventory, production and scheduling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Too much customization can be harmful at the same time, especially when doing a migration. it has to be well managed and need closed support by M1 specialists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
