ERP Next - open source on AWS
Vantagens
Very very low cost if you can implement and host it yourself. We have hosted it on AWS and for the price of just the AWS infrastructure you have a world class system at your beck and call.
We have been using it for the last 2 years and run our small company (20 people) on this system for everything from purchase-to-pay, order-to-cash, accounting, payroll and HR, inventory etc.
It is also available as SaaS for a very reasonable price/seat.
The system is comprehensive and very thoughtfully designed and actively developed. It addresses country specific requirements for the most part (please check for your country).
Desvantagens
The upgrades are a bit difficult for someone who is non technical.
New feature requests usually are addressed but needs external funding/support as it is open system and developed by the community.
Best way to use it after evaluating if viable for your business (by trying the 30 day trial on the cloud) is probably as SaaS.
The best choice for teams that have some technical knowledge in house
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.
Vantagens
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.
Desvantagens
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 ...
Most Efficient ERP
Vantagens
Free and Open Source
Being a FOSS lover, the best part I see with ERPNext its a truly fully open souce, you will get all the modules available, unlike other companies claim to be open source but they arn't.
Communication
Tracking of communication of internal team and clients was a big challenge for our organization, the way this is handled in ERPNext is so simple and intuitive.
Dynamic Customization
One need not to wait for the application developer to change the layout of screen, add or change new fields in transactions, designing of print formats and layouts, all such stuff is managed dynamically.
Payment Gateways
Using this facility we have noticed an increase of 10% in payment collection from the customer, we use razor pay payment gateway with ERPNext so after creating an invoice one can send payment request to customer and after the customer paid the invoice your account gets updated.
Desvantagens
With FOSS projects, its natural to have more support issues, and there is not guarantee of time that when your issue will get addressed.
Review
Get your work organized in a cost effective way
Vantagens
This software has a search field which is so powerful in assisting the user to get to the setting he or she wants simply by typing it
Desvantagens
New to the market so many companies don't trust it fully.
Resposta do Frappe Technologies
Thank you for the honest review! As for the trust factor, we are slowly but surely getting there. Frappe Technology, as an OEM for ERPNext, is working with Enterprises to create high value and build a stronger brand which users can identify with.
As for the product itself, it is now close to 10 years old (Frappe just celebrated its 11th anniversary) and now has a visible presence in the market as a cost-effective ERP solution especially when compared to giants like SAP, Oracle, and Dynamics.
An affordable feature packed customisable ERP Solution.
Automate everything. Take it all online. Go paperless. I've been able to achieve these with relative ease.
Vantagens
#1: FOSS. The biggest reason I like FOSS is not because it's free. It's because the entire ecosystem becomes more efficient. College grads don't need to go through expensive training. Documentation is more complete and can be supplemented through forums where people are more responsive because they feel like they are a part of a community.
It has most of the features that you require.
Desvantagens
The fact that is has so many features built in takes a while to get used to. But I don't think that's a con. If there was anything that could use a little improvement, it's the Website module. Not super easy to use for a non-technical person.
Powerful tool
Vantagens
Free, easy to use and deploye, web based
Desvantagens
There is lot of possibility enhance features like contribution and custom app.
Great Product Thanks for the hard work !
Vantagens
Open source, very modular, developer friendly, user friendly
Desvantagens
Poor user portal, leak of deep dev documentation especialy for the js (client) side
ERPNext the best
I feel proud that I selected a feature rich product at value for money. But still I fear about fewer service providers. Reliability of service providers is high so the successes of implementation depends highly upon their service. Also we faced a critical threatening problem (data got deleted automatically).Luckily overcame as our partner was supportive.
Vantagens
1.Easy to understand modules
2. GREAT FEATURES
3. Easy to implement once deployed.
4 Suitable for MSME
5. API feature
6.Auto email
Desvantagens
1. POOR DOCUMENTATION
2. FEW SERVICE PARTNERS
3. DIFFICULT TO DEPLOY
4. CRITICAL PROBLEMS NOT RESPONDED BY VORE TEAM

very good
amusing
Vantagens
stability and updates and fixing bugs always
Desvantagens
lack of business in every modules compare with other software
ERPnext for small business
Overall my industry used it a few years, because it is not good for large manufacturing industry ,we recorded our transaaction data, which was reliable method and good form while importing and uploading to another ERP. useful for small business and tacts.
Vantagens
Open source, any feature can be customized, valid and complete devolpment documentation is available, easy in use, remotely access. easy installations. Graphics and GUI is really awesome,accouting and purchasing was better.
Desvantagens
All modules are not pre build, very complex and tough work to build and integrate with other module, either its documentation is available but still a special dedicated devolper is required to run and customize process, less controlling over transactions. like approvals etc.
Made for resourceful entrepreneurs of any scale!
Very active community, any feature you need can be requested on github issues and as per the importance and other priorities your issue/feature request will make it to core product eventually. Whole community, core team, service providers and ERPNext Open Source Software Foundation, India are aligned to resolve issues / requests posted on github.
Vantagens
Free and Open Source
Foundation and Community backed ERP
Easy Web UI
Actively developed.
Quick release cycles (follows semantic versioning)
Extendable
Allows connection with micro-services, acts as OAuth 2.0 Authorization server and resource server. Making it easy to connect devices, apps and gadgets to your Frappe / ERPNext server
Desvantagens
No proprietary dependencies can be put into core product. Not suitable for anti-free software companies.
Rolling release, No LTS. Not suitable for organisations that cannot adapt to regularly updated ERP system.
e.g Some organizations still need FoxPro based systems, not suitable for such organizations.
Review of ERPNext
Vantagens
1. Ease of implementation
2. Ease of use
3. Since it is cloud based, it can be used anywhere in the world
4. Economical
5. Excellent support
Desvantagens
The only drawback that I feel is that it is not 100% customisable.
Well designed, easy to use ERP and surprisingly easy to customize
Better purchase, inventory and production management. Better interoperability between different departments- Sales, Accounts and Production. More importantly better adherence standard BOMs.
Vantagens
- Based on the Frappe framework, it makes it easily customizable
- Neat and responsive UI
- Great for manufacturing with Multilevel BOMs, managing multiple production departments
- No vendor lock in. The software 100% open-source. It provides great security to small scale businesses.
- Community driven and transparent approach to development
Desvantagens
ERPNext user manuals should cover more number of use-cases. They typically cover the standard use-case.
Compared to products like Tally or SAP awareness of ERPNext in India is still low, end-user confidence and acceptance has to be essentially be established with trials.
ERPNext
I have been using ERPNext in my business very effectively to track inventory (and serial numbers) across multiple warehouses. I appreciate the ability to repack and to maintain delivery and installation information.
Vantagens
The Team is constantly improving this software and listening to their user base. I can almost always find an answer to my questions in the community forums. I look forward to new features.
Desvantagens
Some functions are designed to address specific needs in foreign countries. It isn't always obvious how to adapt a function to meet your own criteria. Some features are lacking, especially if you are accustomed to batch processing.
One of the most customisable ERP in the market
We needed an ERP that can be molded to our needs and to our customers' needs. After searching for dozens of alternatives, I conclude that ERPNext is the only software that can do that. The open source nature and well written architecture are the reasons that full customisations are possible.
Vantagens
Very-very customisable to suit the needs of the business.
Great integration with other software through API.
One of the easiest ERP to use.
Great flexible reporting options. We can create custom reports on the fly.
Runs on reputable cloud providers. Can be set up with a minimal infrastructure budget to start with.
Desvantagens
Installation can be confusing for first timers. It was not a big problem for us as we are software development company, there was enough information from the community.
Probably most powerful software ever made
Vantagens
- Extremely flexible engine. You can define any process in the world without knowing any programming. My team which has implemented this does not know programming at all. We were able to manage entire implementation only through customisations.
- Doctype concept they have used is extremely powerful and flexible.
- Quite a detailed documentation with ample videos and webinars (also available on youtube).
- Extremely strong accounting background.
- Same can be used for as many user roles you want. Can be used by start-ups as well large organisations.
Desvantagens
- Bank integration missing
- Scope for improvement on CRM like Zoho. Though existing CRM data management is very strong.
Fast setup, catering for all standard business needs and ready to use from day one!
Great ERP software for small and medium businesses which cater for quite a number of business processes. Support should be more readily available rather than 'pushing' customers towards blogs for help in sorting out issues and/or understanding them.
Vantagens
Ease of setup and intuitive navigation through the system. Most standard business processes are already catered for. Changes in look and feel, including overall business template setup relatively easy to set up. Available help through manual and videos are very helpful.
Desvantagens
Hard to trace back minor glitches/bugs. Support not really catering for these small issues, which sometimes take time to understand the cause. Support often not very friendly in explaining the issue/bug but still rectify them.

With this comprehensive package everybody internally and externally can interact and add information to allow better communication, reporting and supervision.

Vantagens
Easy to use, open source
Desvantagens
Some functionalities are not ready yet, but with the community support, contributions will fill the gap quickly
A Great and true Opensource ERP Application
ERPNext is the great and true opensource,community-driven ERP App out there.It includes the maximum possible modules in a traditional ERP App and had a huge options to customize it with minimal effect.
Vantagens
A great product, we have used for 1 years without almost any down time. The software has progressed through that time to its now broad spectrum suitable for almost any small to medium size. I recommend this product without reservation.
Desvantagens
Little bit tough to learn,when we need complex customization. Perfect ERP system for smaller companies at a very competitive price. Free up to one users. Has all functionality needed by smaller companies. Easy to use. Perfect
The best ERP for small and medium size companies
In overall, ERPNext is an amazing product, I use it every day and I feel so good with the platform
Vantagens
Open Source
Easy to use
A lot of modules available inside the platform such as Education, Non Profit, Agriculture, etc
Growing community
Active forum to discuss any issue
Desvantagens
As an active Open Source project a lot of times We face a lot of features requirements that are not so great to have in our system. Also, the permission system is a little bit complicated
ERPNext great experience
This is one of my favorites products and i recommend it 100%
Vantagens
- The easy way of use. ERPNext is a great product that is really easy to use for all users.
- How easy is to modify/expand its functionality with custom apps or directly in the core.
- We have a great community always helping with any question.
- Always evolving
Desvantagens
- Still having some little issues sometimes but the great part is that the community who will help us with all of this.
Robust ERP
With ERPNext we have a good HRMS and an employee intranet portal. Our large scale accounting system is powered by ERPNext. ERPNext coupled with frappe framework has offloaded a lot of our time and effort that would have gone into building such a system from scratch and helped us focus on our core business challenges.
Vantagens
Most of the business requirements available out of the box.
Ease of configuration to suit business needs.
Desvantagens
Upgrade issues with customized versions.
Best Open Source ERP
Vantagens
Opensource: today is a must for an ERP
Web-based: the only way to be used by everyone, everywhere
Solid: even if it is a rather new software, it has already reached a good level of stability
Big community: look on github
Desvantagens
Too fast updating: Unfortunately, an ERP is a complex system and its most important capacity is to be able to adapt to different scenarios (each company has its own characteristics). AGILE and open source development pay the price of continuous updates that must be managed carefully, especially if you made low-level customizations.
Best ERP software in the market
Very fulfilling, since i started deploying this system, am very happy
Vantagens
Very heavily packed with features and very easy to use that any person willing to learn they can learn very fast
Desvantagens
Manufacturing section of the manual needs to be more expounded especially on the bulk production of items
Excellent for small businesses with limited resources. Probably good for medium sized businesses as well as there are several mid sized companies (< 10 million t/o) also using this as figured out through the forum.
There is a very active forum and a very good team of active developers.
Would recommend the product purely on its stable functionality, ease of use and comprehensiveness.
