This information allows me to staff appropriately by making sure I have people in place where they are needed. ----- ### "If you are manufacturing you can do it even better with QAD\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jarosław** | *21 July 2017* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: ERP from QAD (in the past MFG/Pro) is providing great MRP functionality for more than 20 years now. Today this strong MRP is supported, surrounded and integrated with all key modern ERP features and functionalities. It will do its best to support you production processes but will be as well great tool to help you in finance/accounting and logistics. > > **Cons**: If you would like to imagine an ERP software which can support every business in every process, it does not exist (yet?). QAD is for manufacturers and some distribution companies of right size (medium and big). For some processed maybe you will find even better support with external applications (like Advanced Production Planning, Product Life Management, Shop Floor Control). Theirs functionality will be integrated to QAD and you can decide what you really need. > > QAD is the software which needs to be considered seriously when its about manufacturing. ----- ### "In two words: Stay away\!" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *4 March 2020* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can't think of anything. Sorry. QAD failed in every criteria: value, technology, User Interface, feature list... > > **Cons**: Nothing is trivial or intuitive. A lot of room for confusion. Lacks basic functions such as consignment RMA (It is handled as a negative quantity sale) Some basic features are considered add-ons and require additional annual licensing fee. The program looks and feels like it came with a time machine from 1985. The screens are based on a 80 character by 20 line display and you will be hitting Next, Next, Next buttons constantly because of that. Sometimes you have to 'Back' a few times as part of the normal operation procedure. Some field sizes are 8 character (username) or 24 character (product description) because, I suspect, the program was developed around the year 1980. Some functions (For example importing a report design), will cause the system to hang forever and require a restart. Error message look like this: "Error: 90101" - And good luck to you figuring it out. > > I am guessing that QAD was developed by 1000 developers with 1 week experience each and no architect whatsoever. What qualifies me to say that? 1. I have been a software architect/developer/integrator since 1983. (\!) 2. I have experience with other ERP systems, accounting software, warehouse management, and manufacturing software. 3. I never wrote a review on any product or software but in this case I feel it is my duty to warn people. If you are in the market for ERP, this is not one you should consider. 4. If someone from QAD would bother to ask me, I can back up with evidence and unresolved support tickets, these claims and many other issues users are facing. ----- ### "My experience with QAD has been positive. While it is not visually appealing, it gets the job done." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *10 July 2018* | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a no nonsense software that can be edited to run the exact reports you are looking for. Once trained it is very easy to use. It also runs very fast. We use it to ship our customer orders so if the software stops, the money stops, and it has been very dependable for the last few years. > > **Cons**: It's not pretty, sometimes the screen can look a little busy when you're only using one field. There are no indications when you have reached the end of your flow through so when you are training it can be difficult to know when you've completed your task. > > Simple, quick, and easy to train new employees. It has made moving inventory very easy. ----- ### "QAD ERP" — 4.0/5 > **Stevenus** | *19 November 2018* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: easy to search for functions, you can just type what you want to use on the search bar and it gives you some options > > **Cons**: You would have to call them for just adding a simple function and you know when you give them a call it will cost you a lot of money. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2057050/qad?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2057050/qad) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
