Genius ERP Reviews & Product Details

- easy to use

- dashboards (open order report) is a fantastic higher-level report that shows you so much information with the option to dig into the details.

- we can create our own reports and forms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They try to make it open and flexible, but some modules, like the quoting, do not work for our company. Our quoting process is detailed, and we are not able to fit it into the software.

Some fields are titled in French, which makes it a bit of a challenge for the English speaking people creating the reports at our facility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Genius ERP helped us consolidate modules of information into a single user friendly platform. It integrates our time keeping on the production floor with Accounting, quotations, scheduling, Invoicing, production planning, CRM and Estimates to have a single portal to view all info.

The out of the box solution is very good but we did require customized reports to be developed. If you are to manage customization internally, you will need to learn the use of Microsoft Power BI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scheduling and capacity management modules, CAD to BOM are all excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Difficulties with implementation and training Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having been in ERP space for 30+ years in Manufacturing Environments, I can attest that Genius ERP provides very robust functionality at a very competitive price. From BOM to Engineering Lifecycle to MRP and MPS, it really does it all. Their training is straightforward and their support is excellent! They also have scheduled "talk with an expert" sessions (~2x week) that enable you to get quick responses on issues of functionality.

Being Cloud hosted means you don't have to invest in the infrastructure and sleep at night knowing your data is safe. Their security is as robust or simple as you'd like it to be. Lastly, if you're familiar with SQL databases, they have a very nice interface through their own Analytics Product and Power BI.

Other nice features: Downloads of views of data to excel, Export/Import of major data sources; Robust custom fields; Report export to Excel, PDF, etc..; REST API to enable web based integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being cloud hosted, we have to RDP into Azure (as opposed to a full-fledged html version) to get to a desktop (I believe this is on their roadmap). They do, however, have a Web Shop Floor interface that eliminates the need of the Remote Desktop for shop floor reporting. Lastly, because of the RDP, we have to rely on local default printers for printing (but there are many option for preview->pdf/excel).

No OBC data access, but they do have a nice Power BI connector.

Their General Ledger is servicable, but they tell you that from the outset. And I would never make a manufacturing ERP decision with the quality of the G/L being a major factor. Besides, you can get the data out of Genius via Analytics and/or PowerBI and cut/paste into Excel.

File exchange (through Azure connectors) is accomplished by creating a share on Azure and local company and syncing the two. It's not immediate, but it is relatively timely.

No local admin rights on the desktop, requiring a help desk ticket for any software install or upgrade.

These are all relatively minor inconveniences, when you look at the core functionality of Genius. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Full features software that cover all bases a business need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interface can be laggy and not super responsive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Genius allows us to fully customize our product BOMs by using the Engineering Lifecycle features. We can customize in Genius from preloaded parts or upload them from a CAD2BOM interface. Time and effort have been reduced and keying errors virtually eliminated. We also like the feature tied to the engineering lifecycle that allows us to load preliminary parts to purchasing which the design team knows will be long lead. Previously we would have to track long lead parts outside of the BOM and wait for the BOM to be fully loaded to show the parts bought for the job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are using the integrated genius accounting package. It is not as user friendly as what we used in the past (QB), but it gives us the opportunity to fully link our costs to the product/job, something not possible in QB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

flexibility of customization

convenient dashboards

quantitative demonstration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Inconsistency between some data-entry dashboards with the printable document Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the user-friendly interface that supports a powerful planning and MRP system. We saw a big increase in material consumption control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is there are very few customizations that can be done in the system. There is a helpful tool called GTA (Genius task automation) that alleviates this but it does not show in the user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Support Team respond quick !!!!!!!!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't navigate when a report is open .... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy the ability to easily customize reports and import/export functions in each module. The work flow and task automation have greatly increased the function of our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not having the ability to reverse, edit or undo confirmed tasks makes correcting things difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
