Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Made2Manage Edition Review
M2M is very unfriendly to use, hard to navigate
Cons
hard to use and find what needed
- Internet Software & Services
- 11-50 employees
- Annual revenue $1M-$10M
Everything in M2M is 10-steps for a 2-step process
Everything in M2M is 10-steps for a 2-step process. Support is argumentative and even after you prove a bug in the system, they say, “that’s a customization; pay $$$$$ and we will fix it.” System is based in FoxPro, and although they will claim they have transitioned to .NET (v7.5+), there is still FoxPro and it is slow, antiquated, and poorly implemented.
Pros
Nothing
Cons
Design; Support; Implementation; Aptean corporate attitude.
- Professional Services
- 1-10 employees
- Annual revenue $0-$1M
It is incredibly painful to setup
It has a lot of good features. But - the support to get things actually working for something you’ve paid for is expensive and very time consuming. Response is painfully slow. $250/hr for anything you want accomplished, on top of licensing.
I’d recommend looking at other products. M2M is well suited for manufacturing. It covers all aspects of the business, but I think if you had a couple of software packages to cover specific areas you would have less of a headache.
Pros
It has everything related to the operation of the company within one software package.
Cons
It is incredibly painful to setup. We have employee names that are hardcoded into some database with no way to edit except paying $250/hr.
- Industrial Conglomerates
- 11-50 employees

Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Made2Manage Edition Review
I like a lot of the things that it does, we don’t use it to the full capacity, I don’t like the support, the cost, and the fact that the upgrades crash, and it’s not very user friendly at this point. I’m not sure it was ever installed correctly
