Crystal vs. Epicor Propello

All of our applications server in the new company that we bought are windows based, despite that there are other alternative to build the report and dashboard, it is something that has worked wonder for us, apart from it is only available in Windows and indexing data that might eat the resource, I still see the application as one of the major player for reporting

Epicor Propello is incredibly user friendly from both a front-end user and a back-end user. Cashiers have an ease in learning the software and everything they need is on the screen in front of them. This means that even if they were to forget how something works, it is present on the screen if they look for it. Back end is easy to work with also. We have slowly progressed to using the different features this offers including tracking and maintaining supplies, new goods and donations. They are straight forward on how to use, and the support team has always been there for us when we have had any questions. They are rolling out a BETA this mid-year to allow companies to build out their own data-based reporting platform that I am really looking forward too.

We tried to explore other options but we didn't explore other options too long as it will risk our business process and business outcome, as what we want from the processes in both reports and dashboard are giving us a satisfactory result, so familiarity is why we still using it till today and some foreseeable future

Clover is a nice system for a small one or two location enterprise, but with Epicor it is full service and the credit card processing fees are much more affordable as well.
