TORONTO – April 27, 2021 – SoftwareReviews, a division of IT research and advisory firm Info-Tech Research Group, has published its2021 Enterprise Resource Planning Data Quadrant Awards, naming five vendors as gold medalists.

“We are at the crossroad of a global pandemic and its potential recovery path. As businesses prepare to match their current tools and processes to transform business models to drive innovation in the new normal, ERP will emerge in the forefront. What was once a backend solution considered tough to renew and change may be viewed as a gamechanger as integration with AI, cloud, and mobile will take over more than ever. 2021 and beyond could be the new era for ERP and the experience delivered by these solutions involving flexibility to match disruption and speed to market will be critical for users.”
“The global pandemic has accelerated the digitization of the enterprise and that has exposed the weakness of many legacy systems including ERP. Getting started on replacing your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system can be intimidating. ERP is a critical pillar of any organization’s operations, so there’s a lot riding on this decision. As the ERP market becomes commoditized, use our data quadrant to help identify the top vendors for you, and carefully review your business needs to ensure the vendor you choose is able to meet your organization’s particular needs,” said, Robert Fayle, research director, Info-Tech Research Group.
What makes the SoftwareReviews Data Quadrant different?
The study involves gathering intelligence on user satisfaction with both product features and the experience with the vendor. Aggregated emotional response ratings are included in the areas of service, negotiation, product impact, conflict resolution, and strategy and innovation to create a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and its product – all from the software users’ point of view. SoftwareReviews calls this insight the Net Emotional Footprint.
Sage Intacct, with a Net Emotional Footprint of +88, scored top product in many areas, exceeding user expectations in quality of features. Oracle ERP Cloud, with a Net Emotional Footprint of +88, ranked strongly on availability and quality of training. Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP, with a Net Emotional Footprint of +81, excelled in breadth of features. Acumatica Cloud ERP, with a Net Emotional Footprint of +82, performed well on BI and performance management. Unit4 ERP, with a Net Emotional Footprint of +82, scored high in customer relationship management.
In general, Enterprise Resource Planning software users were most satisfied with accounting and financial management features, which include general ledger, accounts payable, and accounts receivable- and were most dissatisfied with the lack of analytics and reporting features.
