  ### 2. Eclipse meet most of our needs

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Martina S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2025

**What do you like best about Epicor Eclipse?**

Moving to the cloud and adding some features is great.  Creating end points so we can manage custom things easily.  Solar has nice features that make it easy to customize but I would like more information on best practices.  They are changing the integration environment to be easier.

**What do you dislike about Epicor Eclipse?**

Eclipse software is becoming more progressive but in the past they did not have a lot of functionality we needed so now we are in the predicament that we have some custom code.   The support is also challenging and they not communicate very well.  They also focus heavily on getting product needs from the user groups which is sometime good but for us being very innovative and ahead of others in our industry the things we would like them to focus on are usually not in line with some less innovative users.

**What problems is Epicor Eclipse solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Capturing our enterprise data

  ### 3. Efficient Tool for Inventory & Order Management

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Logistics and Supply Chain | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2025

**What do you like best about Epicor Eclipse?**

Epicor Eclipse is great because it’s fast, reliable, and makes inventory and order management much easier.

**What do you dislike about Epicor Eclipse?**

The interface feels outdated at times, and some processes require too many steps.

**What problems is Epicor Eclipse solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Epicor Eclipse helps streamline inventory control, order processing, and pricing accuracy. It reduces manual work, minimizes errors, and makes daily operations faster and more organized.

  ### 4. Good but not Great in the 21st Centruy

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 08, 2025

**What do you like best about Epicor Eclipse?**

Basic functions are solid and fulfill 90% of the daily tasks needed.

**What do you dislike about Epicor Eclipse?**

Behind other modern ERP Systems in terms of flexibility and integration options.

**What problems is Epicor Eclipse solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Epicor Eclipse solves the day to day counter / location traffic for order generation and warehouse processing.   We have built external integrated applications for mobile devices over the last several years that do what Eclipse could not at the time.   

Epicor is now showing that integrations are a priority and showing a road map to key functions as automated AP Invoice process, Automated order process, better mobile order entry, etc.     This will be great for certain size organizations.   However, Companies of our size have already developed and committed to technologies for these needs due to the Epicor Eclipse slower response.       Short Version:  Eclipse does not present a TRUE argument for a Strategic Advantage in todays world.

  ### 5. Flexible and Configurable, but slow on new development

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tamara F. | Sr. Ecommerce Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 08, 2025

**What do you like best about Epicor Eclipse?**

I love the flexibility and configurability

**What do you dislike about Epicor Eclipse?**

I don't like how all of the new features and acquisitions go to other software before Eclipse and the least amount of development time seems to be spent on Eclipse. With the new developers hired, though, I hope that helps.

**What problems is Epicor Eclipse solving and how is that benefiting you?**

My role is eCommerce. Having the Eclipse API's certainly is helpful and benefits us versus our previous ERP. They are fast, work consistently and since they are in Eclipse it eliminates the need for a third party, which causes issues.

It is an ERP and WMS that is used by majority of companies in our space - this means that outside 3rd parties typically can integrate and are familiar with the platform.

**Reviewed by:** Erik H. | Office Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 10, 2018

**What do you like best about Epicor Eclipse?**

It is so easy to use and learn even if you have never worked in it before. Almost as simple as a windows based system to use, but not quite.

**What do you dislike about Epicor Eclipse?**

Biggest dislike is that creating reports is not as simple as it should be and changing banks in the system apparently can't be done without contacting Tech Support, which no one knew and it isn't a readily known issue.

**Recommendations to others considering Epicor Eclipse:**

Opt for the windows version, called SOLAR

**What problems is Epicor Eclipse solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Epicor Eclipse has solved various business problems for us such as Inventory management of over 12,000 items. Easier and more accurate tracking of discounts, sales and all functions of accounting.

  ### 11. Solid ERP for medium-sized distributors, lacks true cloud-native version

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nick S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 22, 2024

**What do you like best about Epicor Eclipse?**

The Eclipse software generally performs Mars' business functions well, and is fairly intuitive to use.  Epicor listens to customers and works to implement feature changes and requests when feasible.

**What do you dislike about Epicor Eclipse?**

Eclipse, being built on a 20-year-old codebase, lacks a true, cloud-native application, and this increases the complexity and cost for running Eclipse in the cloud.

**What problems is Epicor Eclipse solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Epicor Eclipse is enabling more integrations with our customers' and vendors' systems, which helps to create a "sticky" relationship with them.

  ### 12. Epicor Eclipse - THE solution for Branch-based Distributors

Finding the way to do what you want to accomplish is a bit of a tricky task. Documentation helps, but it is vast, so it's not as easy to find things at times.

We are able to track our orders and purchases,ensuring accurate information is conveyed to our Customers and Vendors to make us successful.

Eclipse runs everything relevant to our customers, vendors, inventory and finance.

Eclipse has a vast report writing options, and allows customization options within those reports. With the addition of I descriptors, reports can be narrowed down to specific pinpoint data.

**What do you dislike about Epicor Eclipse?**

The complaint I hear most is the user interface, the majority of my company uses Eterm and not solar, so the Dos based interface can be challenging for people expecting a new fancy GUI.

**What problems is Epicor Eclipse solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our entire company leverages Eclipse, so the problems I solve are all related to business practices accross the company. I use Eclipse to figure out how a process is done, and then how to use the program for the most practical implementation.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kevin J. B. | Pricing Specialist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2022

As a Pricing Specialist and Data Analyst, being able to mine data for advanced analytics has been a solid benefit to the ERP in our price management.

  ### 39. Very useful distributor tool; Old program but still the most relevant

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Warehousing | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2022

**What do you like best about Epicor Eclipse?**

It is basically fully customizable if you learn the insides and outs of the program.

**What do you dislike about Epicor Eclipse?**

It is an amalgamation of the data that has been input by many different people over a decade or two of time. Because of human input, there is potential for "ugly" data or just incorrect data in general.

**What problems is Epicor Eclipse solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We solve all sorts of problems with Eclipse.  The main problem we solve is the problem of maintaining inventory with sales orders, purchase orders, and returns. It also makes it easy to find out who did what work with log features. This allows us to clear up any confusion that may have been caused by errors in receiving or errors on the clerical side of things.

**Reviewed by:** Brian A. | IT and Purchasing Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 01, 2019

**What do you like best about Epicor Eclipse?**

The user-interface and how interactive it is. The online community and Epicor support site are good tools to take advantage of. 

**What do you dislike about Epicor Eclipse?**

The Eclipse team does not have many people on their staff who have been involved in my industry, or else they have left. 

**Recommendations to others considering Epicor Eclipse:**

When you decide to implement, make sure your installer is someone who is familiar with your industry, regardless of where they live. Take advantage of everything within the community. Join the Users Group, attend Insights, Encounter, and any on-site trainings Epicor has to offer. Explore using a 3rd Party resource such as Zerion for consulting or advise. Network within the Eclipse community . 

**What problems is Epicor Eclipse solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Inventory control has improved, pricing has improved. Purchasing is improving due to the resources within.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kaylynn A. | Inside Sales Specialist, Manufacturing, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 04, 2019

**What do you like best about Epicor Eclipse?**

How it you can access the same information from one main screen and I personally think that we will love this new system. It is just very user friendly. Also, the easier we can gather information from orders to apply that information for our customers the better we will be. I see how the system will be easier with my warehouse as well, they now will not have to wait to pick orders/process orders. I am really excited to see how this new system will affect how we do business.

**What do you dislike about Epicor Eclipse?**

Nothing so far. I really like the new system. I haven't really discovered any issues with this system.

**Recommendations to others considering Epicor Eclipse:**

I would advise to learn how to find all of the shortcuts and create so many different shortcuts to do process orders, run reports, find information from processed orders, choose shipping methods and prepaid amounts. 

**What problems is Epicor Eclipse solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are now able to process orders without having to jump through so many different issues with our old system. This makes entering orders and finding out information easier. This makes thing way easier for us as a company to do our daily jobs.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Building Materials | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 01, 2019

I love that the system is customizable out of the box on every level if you just find the Control Maintenance Record and do some research, and if you can't find it, the staff and support are knowledgeable.

Over the phone support is sometimes hard

**Recommendations to others considering Epicor Eclipse:**

It takes some time to adjust, but it really is  a wonderful and intuitive program.

It is our only software that supports so many things and has the ability to incorporate with many Companion Products as well as other 3rd party integrations.

  ### 44. Eclipse feels like the after-thought product of Epicor.

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jordan W. | Training Supervisor, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 17, 2019

**What do you like best about Epicor Eclipse?**

I like how relatively simple the user interface is, especially with Solar. I like how widgets and views are easy to setup. 

**What do you dislike about Epicor Eclipse?**

- RF equipment is extremely dated!
- Change log doesn't show ALL receiving activity (only direct putaways)
- Confusing naming of "Warehouse In Process Status Queue" and "Warehouse in Process Queue"
- Not everything is ported over to Solar from Eterm
- RF software feels like we're going backwards towards Eterm, especially once we've pushed everyone to Solar
- Training material feels dated and outright missing in some examples
- Training website feels disjointed and agendas can be hard to find
- Help page could be more pronounced on Solar homepage (question mark icon)
- Widget dimensions/edits are different depending on which screen you access from
- I'd like to see more warehouse management tools
- Running reports on RF Warehouse could use explainers to prevent me from running the wrong report with the wrong details....I do this all the time : (

**What problems is Epicor Eclipse solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Inventory Management. 

  ### 45. User friendly product with rich features

Using Eclipse for products/industries outside of its usual use can be difficult; lumber, etc...

There are many features in Eclipse that are under utilized. Not sure of the best way to discover them other than reading user manuals or speaking with other companies.

Eclipse is better for some industries than others, but the customization makes it a solid product for any.

**What problems is Epicor Eclipse solving and how is that benefiting you?**

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2019

**What do you like best about Epicor Eclipse?**

The processing of orders, the controls with pricing and the  visibility of inventory is top notch

**What do you dislike about Epicor Eclipse?**

It is based on a very outdated technology platform.  Current technologies are left to third parties which require integration.  Support for functionality others take for granted are not available in Eclipse, such as integrated credit card processing for international customers  (ie not American)

**Recommendations to others considering Epicor Eclipse:**

Investigate their functionality fully to determine if it is a good match.
There is a lot to be impressed with.
Some not so impressive.
Like many other packages

Ship notification for our customers. I want to avoid them having to call to get details of their penidng orders. Tryting to acomplish this with Startship, but the cost to send the e-mail field from Eclipse to Starship is very, very expensive.

The DTS (Direct Through Stock) function is very difficult to use and needs some work.
