ERPNext

Best Open Source ERP that is better than even paid ERPs

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

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.

ERPNext

Comments: 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.

Easy to use, and highly customizable, but plauged by bugs.

Comments: 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.

This is a fantastic ERP system that offers a lot of flexibility.

Pros:

ERPNext uses many effective methods used globally and offers established ways to manage common business tasks like creating invoices, monitoring payments, and handling returns. Our company relies on ERPNext to store all our business information, and we don't use any spreadsheets.

Cons:

Although ERPNext is a global system, it may not include all the features specific to your country. For instance, if you're from Germany, you may find that some features are missing, which could make your work more convenient. However, ERPNext is still valuable and continues to be updated regularly.
