Visión general
This page provides a high level summary of product performance within the Enterprise Resource Planning – Midmarket category, comparing some of our top value metrics. Products are ranked by a composite satisfaction score (Composite Score) that averages four different areas of evaluation: Net Emotional Footprint, Vendor Capabilities, Product Features, and Likeliness to Recommend. The Net Emotional Footprint Score measures user emotional response ratings of the vendor (e.g. trustworthy, respectful, fair). Use this data to get a sense of the field, and to see how the products you’re considering stack up.
Vendor Capability Summary
SoftwareReviews examines 11 core vendor capabilities common across all Software Vendors. These capabilities represent table-stakes expectations for any software vendor, and are critical to driving a strong, long-term relationship between a vendor and a customer. This page provides definitions of the 11 core vendor capabilities that have been measured.
Business Value Created:
The ability to bring value to the organization. Software needs to create value for employees, customers, partners, and, ultimately, shareholders. This data expresses user satisfaction – or lack thereof – with the product’s business value.
Breadth of Features:
The ability of the software to perform a wide variety of tasks. Users prefer feature-rich software that enables them to perform diverse series of tasks. This data expresses user satisfaction with the diversity of the product’s feature set.
Quality of Features:
The ability of the software to perform at or above industry standards. Feature quality is just as important as quantity. Use this data to determine if this product will do what you are purchasing it to do, easily, intuitively, reliably, and effectively.
Product Strategy and Rate of Improvement:
Purchasing software can be a significant commitment, so it is important to know if your vendor is serious about the need for constant improvement and deliberate strategic direction. Vendors who do not stay on top of emerging needs and trends will not enable you to meet your business goals. Use the data in this section to separate innovators from imposters.
Usability And Intuitiveness:
End user learning curves cost the organization money. Pay attention to your end users’ technical ability to determine how important UX is in your purchase. This data captures how quickly your users will be able to adopt and leverage the platform.
Vendor Support:
The ability to receive timely and sufficient support. The importance of vendor support will vary for each organization depending on internal capabilities, but there will always be issues that only the vendor can resolve. Use this data to identify which vendors will be there when you need them.
Ease of Data Integration:
The ability to seamlessly integrate the solution with your other applications. Use this data to determine whether the product will cause headaches or make data integration easy.
Ease of Administration:
Administrative interfaces shouldn’t be clunky or unintuitive. Use the data in this section to determine which vendors make administration easy so that your IT personnel can resolve issues and perform configurations efficiently and effectively.
Ease of Customization:
Out-of-the-box functionality often isn’t enough, especially for niche or industry- specific software, and the reason you’re buying rather than building is to save time and money in the first place. Don’t get bogged down in a difficult customization; use the data in this section to make sure you can easily achieve the functionality you need for your particular situation.
Availability and Quality of Training:
Effective and readily available training enables users to get the most out of the software you’ve chosen. Use this section to make sure your vendor’s training programs and materials measure up.
Ease of Implementation:
Choosing the right software is only the first step. Successfully implementing the new solution is necessary in order to realize its full value and promote end user adoption. Use the data in this section to determine which software is easy to implement, and which may jeopardize your goals by causing trouble in this stage.

This page summarizes user satisfaction with a variety of product features. While strong and consistent performance across the feature set is preferable, you may be willing to tolerate low scores on features that don’t impact your primary use case or core objectives. Use this high-level data to help plan and structure your product evaluation.
Strategy & Innovation
Your vendor’s attitude toward innovation is important; if they aren’t at least keeping pace with market directions and trends, they certainly won’t be enabling you to get ahead. Use the data in this section to gauge whether your vendor appreciates the need to innovate and the extent to which they’ll support you to do the same.
Product Experience
Software needs to reliably enable your performance and productivity. Use the data in this section to see which vendors will propel you forward and which will be deadweight you’ll need to carry.
Negotiation & Contract
Negotiation doesn’t have to be adversarial. Both parties are always looking to get the best deal, but finding a vendor who will work with you rather than against makes it more likely you’ll both be happy with the results. Use the data in this section to determine which vendors will negotiate pleasantly and in good faith.
Conflict Resolution
Disagreements are inevitable, but knowing your vendor will handle them reasonably, fairly, and amiably can give you peace of mind. Use the data in this section to understand which vendors will behave professionally when conflict arises.
