Directory

Every ERP worth considering, scored the same way

Published weights, no paid placement, and our own product in the list ranked below several competitors. If it were not, you would know the method was decorative.

How to use a directory like this without being misled

A single score is a compression of six weighted criteria into one number, and compression loses information. The score is useful for excluding products that are clearly wrong for your size, and close to useless for choosing between two that are within half a point of each other.

What actually decides it is the pair of lines under each product — the strength and the thing to watch. Those are written to be specific enough to disagree with, which is more useful than a number nobody can interrogate.

Use the score to shorten the list. Use the “watch” line to choose.

Three things the score cannot capture

  • Your industry. A distributor and a consultancy at the same revenue want almost opposite things. Start from the industry guides, not this table.
  • The partner you end up with. For Acumatica, Dynamics, Sage, and NetSuite this frequently matters more than the software. The same product implemented by two firms produces two different outcomes, and no product score can express that.
  • Where you will be in three years. A product that fits today and has no path to multi-entity is a two-year decision dressed as a five-year one.

Why our own score is 7.5

We score well on time to value, implementation risk, and extensibility, and poorly on support and ecosystem — our partner network is small and the talent pool for our platform is a fraction of NetSuite’s, which is a real risk to a buyer and is weighted as one. We are absent from manufacturing and warehouse management entirely because we do not build them.

Sage Intacct and NetSuite both score above us. That is the correct result under these weights for a young product, and publishing it is the only reason to believe anything else on this page.

What is not here yet

Vertical-specific systems, non-US products, and the long tail of accounting tools are not covered. We are adding categories as we can assess them properly rather than padding the directory with products we have never seen implemented.

Questions

About the directory.

Can vendors pay to appear or rank higher?
No. There is no ad product, no sponsored tier, and no paid placement of any kind. The directory takes no vendor revenue, which is why that answer is one word long.
Why is your own product in the list?
Excluding it would be a different kind of dishonesty. It is scored on the same weights, it ranks below several competitors, and its weaknesses are stated in the same format as everyone else’s.
How often is it reviewed?
Quarterly at minimum, and immediately when a vendor ships something that changes a scored dimension. Every entry carries a last-reviewed date in the dataset.
Can I get the underlying data?
Yes — scores, weights, and review dates are published as an open dataset under a permissive licence. You can check our arithmetic or use it in your own analysis.
What if you have something wrong?
File a correction. Factual errors get fixed and dated, with a note saying what changed. Disputed judgements get the vendor’s position published alongside ours rather than replacing it.

Two or three products, not ten.
