What do you like best about Aptean Discrete Manufacturing ERP?

I like that Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Made2Manage Edition is used for all portions of our business, including production, accounting, and sales. It ties all our processes together. I also appreciate that they are constantly upgrading and making their products better. The inclusion of features like finance, sales, shop floor, CRM, configuration, and purchasing is valuable to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aptean Discrete Manufacturing ERP?

Their customer service is very poor. It takes them a long time to respond. They are not always straightforward with their answers. Too many overseas support. Upgrades always have some pain to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Building the future with Made2Manage"
5/5
What do you like best about Aptean Discrete Manufacturing ERP?

Our company has never operated smoother. As a 20+ year user of M2M, through multiple versions. The SaaS Cloud based 8 is amazing. Users are no longer tied to a say static experience and are able to multitask, utilize multiple monitors and work from anywhere.

Service cases are managed so much better. I enjoy the M2M Technical Team. They are responsive, knowledgeable and tenacious. The Connect area of AppCentral has allowed me to train users to resolve issue, freeing me up for areas outside of IT that are more critical of my time.

I love that fixes and upgrade happen in the cloud - no more patching.

Being able to set user up where ever I can supply internet access has helped us streamline a lot of bottlenecks and free up my employees to be more productive.

Doesn't take a lot of bandwidth or Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aptean Discrete Manufacturing ERP?

The only complaint I have is I'd like to be alerted to new features so we can use them. Because fixes and changes happen seamlessly in the cloud. I forget to look if upgrades have happened and what those are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Richie Oliver of Aptean Discrete Manufacturing ERP

We truly appreciate your loyalty over the past 20+ years and are so glad to hear how the SaaS version of M2M has helped your team work more efficiently from anywhere. It’s great to know AppCentral and our support team are making a difference for you. Thank you for sharing your feedback on feature alerts — we’ll keep working to make sure you’re always in the loop on what’s new!

"Made2Manage 7.5.1"
4/5
What do you like best about Aptean Discrete Manufacturing ERP?

I appreciate how all the databases are interconnected and how the modules are linked together. Being able to use Aptean as our all-in-one ERP makes the workflow between customer service, production, and accounting feel almost seamless.

I'm interestedl to see what the Ai direction takes Aptean as a compant and what it can do for us for the future.

Customer support is very helpful when applying tickets in the AppCentral app. It's nice to see all of the data from the report and get email updates, with photos and videos if neccessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aptean Discrete Manufacturing ERP?

The system can be a bit cumbersome at times because it operates in the cloud, and the speed of the connection can fluctuate from day to day. Custome reports and SQL knowledge classes would be greatly appreaciated for the future as well. (We are still on 7.5.1 and know you'd love us to upgrade to version 8).

Thanks! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Richie Oliver of Aptean Discrete Manufacturing ERP

Thank you for the kind and candid review, Heath. The in-depth and honest feedback you provided is invaluable. We appreciate you taking the time out of your day to leave a review.

"M2M takes business processes to the next level."
5/5
What do you like best about Aptean Discrete Manufacturing ERP?

It is very easy to use and extremely user friendly. It takes minimal work to get it set up and implemented in your business. With the new release of AppCentral it provides seamless integration between all your Aptean products. Allowing you to quickly get to the application you need. I am an everyday user of the M2M system and I rarely run into any problems. Although when I do the Aptean team quickly resolves any issues that arise, usually within the same day. The Aptean customer service team is always professional and works with you to solve any issues you have. The AppCentral insights are a powerful tool gives you accurate, detailed information on your business. Allowing you to stay educated and informed on how your business is running. With the release of their GenAI Query it allows you to get accurate and well explained information quickly and precisely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aptean Discrete Manufacturing ERP?

The only downside with M2M is that it is a little rigid. You have to work with the system gives you and making customizations to suit your business is costly. The GenAi is in the early stages so it doesn't have a full grasp on our business information yet. The insights, while they are great, I've been experiencing a problem with keeping the information up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Richie Oliver of Aptean Discrete Manufacturing ERP

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with M2M and AppCentral! We’re thrilled to hear they’ve made such a positive impact on your day-to-day operations and that our support team has been there when you’ve needed them. Your feedback on customization, GenAI and insights is valuable as we continue to improve and evolve our solutions.

"Easy UI and competitive pricing, but overall experience fell short"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Aptean Discrete Manufacturing ERP?

Easy to navigate UI. Integrations are straightforward with the API and the pricing is competitive. There aren't many ERPs that will compete in terms of timing to go-live and pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aptean Discrete Manufacturing ERP?

Customizability is sometimes not the best and clients require constant support to get things completed. The documentation around customizing their instances is also not detailed in a way that they can learn themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Richie Oliver of Aptean Discrete Manufacturing ERP

We appreciate you highlighting Made2Manage's ease of navigation, competitive pricing and inventory management capabilities. Your feedback on customizability and documentation depth is noted and appreciated. If you need support in the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out to your Customer Success contact.

"Slightly Frustrated"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Aptean Discrete Manufacturing ERP?

Customer support is pretty good. For me ease of use. The cloud is easier to access remotely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aptean Discrete Manufacturing ERP?

It seems to me that made2manage is best suited for smaller companies that do not have a lot of data entry. It used to be good with the keyboard shortcuts. Seems certain functions don't work properly and aren't fixed like notifier. I could probably go on and on. Basically, I wish we had gone to the cloud because I don't think it is ready for "Prime Time" and I'm not sure it's worth the higher price tag. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Transition went relatively smooth. Very few issues."
4/5
What do you like best about Aptean Discrete Manufacturing ERP?

I have been using M2M for around five years now. The features are straightforward and integrate well with each other, making the overall experience smooth and cohesive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aptean Discrete Manufacturing ERP?

It seems like some basic reporting is missing, such as "what we sold to a specific customer report". I can get total amount in $ but I can't run a report telling me what Items we sold them and when. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
