  • Hi Eric, Seeing this video again and again!! Thank you to share your knowledge with us. Unfortunately, we miss some brands in Brazil to have more competition in our market. Deacom (not available) -Epicor (not available) -Quickbooks (not available) -Salesforce (not available) -Odoo (Perfect in my opinion) -Oracle NetSuite (too expensive) -Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (available just in October 20) -SAP Business One (too expensive) -Priority Software (not available) -Sage ERP (it is a good option) Keep sharing this with us. Have a great day.

    Hi Eric, what are your thoughts on Sage Intacct as an ERP system? And thoughts on an ERP system for Healthcare services. Thanks.

    This video is very valuable. I am going to be a regular follower. Your explanations are highly professional
  • @mwright1978
    Hi Eric, I know you were talking about odoo open source, but how does that compare 202 enterprise which doesn’t require the same amount of resources on the IT side?
  • Hi Eric, nice job, thanks. Just finishing a market evaluation myself and happened to discover a new competitor in this space that seems very tech modern, fast, customizable and with a complete suite of ERP functionality, unlike some of the solutions you mentioned: Brightpearl, out of the UK, with a US office in Austin. Have you had a chance to look them over?

  • @peterlim4650
    Hi Eric, thank for sharing. can u share about Monitorerp ?
  • I wish you take it into account for services companies, I have an AV company and the only company that supports that industry specifically is i point. It’s ridiculously priced and not affordable for the small company in the market, by far is the right answer I’m trying to find the CRM easily later

    Hello Eric, Why is SAP Business ByDesign not considered among the top 10 products for midsize ERP ?
  • @jp_india554
    Hi Eric, I am Jasmin Patel from India. Thank you for the detailed review of top 10 ERP solutions for small and mid size organizations. I have also watched your NetSuite vs ERP Business One video. We are in to manufacturing, Supply, Installation and After sales services of Elevators. I am little confused in between Net Suite and ERP B One. As Net Suite seems more expensive in terms of AMC compared to ERP B1. So, Could you please help me out to choose most appropriate ERP for my organization? Your suggestion will really help us to take decision. Thank you Sir.

    Thanks for the good information. Can you please confirm where Acumatica cloud ERP stands in the ERP ranking. Many places i compared the acumatica with the one which has been listed in top-10 and i found Acumatica features has more higher rankings.
  • @AMEENHAI
    Hi Mr. Eric, how do you think about making a video about pros & cons of ODOO ERP system? i am eager to listen to your advice on this system. regards

    In my observation, availability of resources like availability of skillful consultants, internal IT and support from community are huge factors to choose among the ERP systems in Africa. Sage, SAP and MS Dynamic are popular in Ethiopia.
