Focus 9 Reviews

Comments: We had to go live with an ERP [comprising of Finance, Procurement and Budget Modules]. Focus was able to go live within 60 days from the project start and managed the incremental functionality upgrades in a smooth manner.

Pros: 1. Simple and Easy to use, with limited or no training required
2. Highly customizable core modules, and easy to integrate with any other solution
3. Shorter go live period/upgrade and patches
4. Excellent resources for implementation and support
5. Finance integrated, easy to use budget module

Cons: not any feature in particular, most of what functions we required had worked well.

Comments: I won't say it was great. But it is not bad.
Designing should be such that implementation should be quick and flawless.

Pros: Easy to use
Import and export from excel was possible.

Cons: Limited to the number of company to which the service is offered. It is required that the service is offered for any number of companies and across all verticals.
The architecture seems to be faulty. We noticed it during GST implementation. While others completed their implementation within a month after GST was announced, focus required almost 6 months for smooth functionality.
Sometimes the native reports also show up with some bugs. Needs to be fully tested before implementing at customer place.

Comments: We are managing different processes in different countries by customizing the workflows

Pros: Flexibility, customization, Ease of use, supportive team

Cons: Not having the Financial consolidation module

Pros: Its customization configuration, report design tool and Cloud based with SAAS.

Cons: Slow performance in cloud based application. It shows "Not secured" in address bar as its server has not SSL certificate.

Comments: OVERALL GOOD, BUT YOU HAVE TO REVIEW YOURSELF THE CHANGES MADE ARE REFLECTED IN EACH AND EVERY REPORT AND OTHER LINKED DOCUMENTS ELSE YOUR REVISION OR CHANGES TO VOUCHER / DOCUMENTS WILL PUT YOU IN PROBLEM AS WRONG DATA WILL BE THE RESULT OF MINOR MISTAKES IN FORMULA .
