Excellent experience
Excellent experience. Software is complex but does what it does very well. Excellent support too.
Pros
Solid in performance. Functionally-rich
Cons
Lack of integrations with pre-press systems
Absolutely awful ERP option even for print/packaging companies
Software is archaic from an architecture standpoint, easily two decade-old technology, the core “radius” product receives few updates but EFI produces “new” products that integrate with the core software and sells it at outrageous prices, rather than including it in the core licensing…great for EFI’s bottom line, horribly expensive for the companies who use this software. Don’t; forget the nearly 20% annual licensing fees to get support and those few core product updates. Absolutely awful ERP option even for print/packaging companies.
Pros
Really nothing, obviously there are features specific to print and packaging but this in no way brings the solution back to a positive.
Cons
Core Radius product built on decades old technology and architecture, "new" features are not part of core system, they must be licensed as new software with additional ~20% annual maintenance fees, support is poor, software is buggy.
Radius ERP Review
Nothing is streamlined. Whoever created this program seems to need to get themselves in check.
Pros
nothing.
Cons
nothing is streamlined.
It tracks a lot of data... almost to a fault
It performs like any other MRP system but like any other MRP system, they are all built for manufacturing widgets. Although this system claims to be built for the print packaging world, it does not customize very well to more specialized operations.
Pros
It tracks a lot of data....almost to a fault. If you like numbers and trends, this is heaven.
Cons
Customization to specialized operations would help. Ability to remove much of what I do not use for my business.
Constant disconnect issues
Constant disconnect issues. Counting is not accurate. Interface is not very simplified and streamlined . Not a very good system for anyone. You have to go to ten different things to find one thing. Who ever wrote this software is a moron.
Pros
Nothing.
Cons
Everything.
