Inclusion of aggregated emotional response ratings in the areas of service, negotiation, product impact, conflict resolution, and strategy and innovation create a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and its product from the software users’ point of view. SoftwareReviews calls this insight the Net Emotional Footprint.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance earned a Net Emotional Footprint score of +79 and top product for nine of the 22 features and capabilities. The vendor did particularly well with users for its strategy and rate of improvement. Oracle ERP Cloud, with a Net Emotional Footprint score of +86, took top product in five of 22 areas, including supply chain management. Unit4 ERP earned a Net Emotional Footprint score of +84 and top product for three areas, including customer relationship management. Oracle NetSuite ERP, with a Net Emotional Footprint score of +77, did consistently well across all features and capabilities, particularly in accounting and financial management. Acumatica Cloud ERP earned a Net Emotional Footprint score of +77 and took top product for accounting and financial management. FinancialForce ERP, with a Net Emotional Footprint score of +82, did consistently well across all features and capabilities, particularly job and project management. Ramco ERP Suite earned a Net Emotional Footprint score of +79 and top product in two areas, including governance, risk, and compliance. Sage X3, with a Net Emotional Footprint score of +76, earned top product for business intelligence and performance management.
ERP software users were most satisfied with vendors’ accounting, financial, and procurement management features – and most dissatisfied with the availability and quality of training.
“Your business needs an ERP that meets the challenges of efficiency and cost effectiveness,” said Robert Fayle, research director at Info-Tech Research Group. “Leveraging data from the category report coupled with Info-Tech Research Group’s ERP selection methodology can help create an accelerated and informed evaluation process.”
