"Warehouse management purchasing/sales"

4/5

What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?

I think the dashboard is simple but well done. We can scan products quickly and thanks to our external handheld the data transfer works perfectly. We can see in the report how much of each product is available. We can also track sales and see the status of transactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can optimize the stock management and thanks to the analyses we can see exactly which products need to be reordered and when.

"32-Bit only Windows Office 365 Support Only Acctivate Workaround is a Significant Security RISK"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?

The Software cost is reasonable. The on-boarding process is very well supported. The Server and workstation software install is trivial as the on-boarding support person fills in most of the blanks. The knowledge base is large and answers most questions. Support is excellent. The support for QuickBooks is great but see my dislikes if you plan on using this software. I don't think Acctivate understands much about State and Federal Compliance Regulation and they should since this is a business financials driven application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?

If you are using Office 365 (the 64-Bit version) it is not supported, email does not work (in App) to send invoices from the Acctivate App to your customers. The Acctivate suggested Workaround is to install an SMTP Relay. This is a SERIOUS SECURITY VULNERABILITY, if you setup an SMTP Relay you will be sending customer account information in a clear text email which anyone can read, so invoices with account numbers can also be read BY ANYONE. I sent a very long worded email to an acctivate rep about this on April 7th and have received no response, today is April 12th. https://hub.acctivate.com/articles/sending-email-with-office-365 is the Link from the acctivate Knowledge Base on their Website support page which discuses the 64-Bit workaround. The only way to fix this issue is to build an SMTP Relay and add an SSL/TSL certificate which will cost ~$400.00 for 5 years. If you install the certificate it likely wont fix the issue unless you also configure an IIS server, so you need a web server to fix an email issue. Additionally, Acctivate does not even hint at installing a security certificate in their support guide. The current version of Acctivate is 11.0 SP1 which was just released and is only a 32-Bit application, so if you have a large organization that will be using this Application your going to run out of memory on your host server at the 4GB ceiling, 32-Bit apps have a 4GB memory limit no matter how much memory your server has installed. Microsoft deprecated Office-365 32-Bit in September 2018. Not Supporting 64-Bit Office is an issue, suggesting a workaround that does not meet current State and Federal Compliance Regulations is an even bigger issue.

Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:

Make sure you are using a 32-Bit Version of Outlook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?

This has solved incoming and outgoing inventory availability and wholesaler inventory availability review very well. Acctivate integrates great with quickbooks and only really has one flaw that I can find. Acctivate is not a 64-Bit application which causes some feature failures. It also has memory issues due to its 32-Bit code base. Most Software vendors are not going to invest in 64-Bit code upgrades unless customers force them to do it. They'll wait till they are forced to do so by the Server/Client OS 32-Bit compatibility requirements, which are coming fast. If they wait too long you'll be stuck in a compatibility loop. You wont be able to upgrade a server because the application your business depends on is not 64-Bit compliant. Additionally, 32-Bit software is more vulnerable to security exploits. This is a financial based software, Cyber Security is not negotiable with this in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good inventory management software"

4/5

What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?

Inventory control all in one place, ordering, receiving, invoicing, and being able to see the inventory in real time. Additionally, it syncs with QuickBooks. Furthermore, such support could be quickly and easily received from a competent support team. I really like that a lot of information can be stored and accessed in reports in widgets and through quick searches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?

The callback times for support have increased. It will often freeze in continuous cycles and the program will shut down. I wish this had a function to synchronize data between QB in the background and thus also be able to fix synchronization items without calling support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:

The system seems to be more oriented towards a store-based company that also has online sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it to link Quickbooks and manage all the inventory. Before Acctivate, we didn't have a system at all, which was a nightmare. It helped us get organized and manage them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
