Unanet AE ERP Reviews & Product Details

It has AP AR Project Management HR and Time and Expense sheet entry all on one platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unanet needs to have one platform – cloud based. Having some things updated in one platform and not the other (budgeting for instance had to be enhanced to be the same) is frustrating.

Resource planning is clunky and not user friendly for high level planning. Our PM’s will continue to use excel until the system is more user friendly (ie can add in multiple ODC items that represent different budgeted items – right now they have to all be combined in 1 line item), also being able to have a comments section next to a labor or ODC item for planning / budgeting purposes would be super helpful, and being able to list out the same class of staff (ie senior scientist) for the same phase is truly a budgeting must have because often a phase needs 80 hours in a week by 2 senior scientists and as the system is now I have to enter one line of a senior scientist for 80 hours which for resource planning isn’t accurate).

Also, several small requests have been made for a while now that just keep getting kicked aside because I guess they aren’t AI or cool enough. They are as follows: 1. Add a 3rd box in PA Bill Review for permanent notes. Currently there is an Invoicing box for the invoice and a second box for PM Instructions to biller that clears out when the G/L period rolls over for the next month's comments. Please just add a stationary box so we can put comments in like “Invoice the 26th of each month.”

The other comments I have heard are that every time someone wants to move a transaction in PA review, we have to click the button to move TX, then select Project Code bc it always defaults to project name (when moving transactions you almost always have to use the code). It either needs to have Project Code as the default or allow the user to select a default that will stay. Also when reviewing an automated invoice, EVERY TIME I open the document to view it I have to change it to whole page bc the default leaves it reduced in size and the pop-out not full page. Nobody can read it that way. It’s the small fixes that don’t get done that make me not like it. User useability experience should be as important as new abilities and functions. This is also true of setting set in the desktop that don't translate to the web based platform.

Also it would be nice if invoice templates were easy to build and alter and a separate consultant OAS module and training wasn't necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the contracts module needs improvement, particularly in providing a more detailed funding breakdown by task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unanet is designed with features uniquely tailored to the needs of professional services firms in the A&E space. Customer support is extremely responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unanet struggles to anticipate the needs of the end users. I frequently submit feedback to Unanet about why newly launched functionality does not meet our needs in Accounting and Finance. Customer support frequently is unable to resolve issues raised in a timely manner. When Unanet's AP automation features are not meeting our expectations, we don't have an alternative to consider because Unanet doesn't interface to Bill.com or the big fintech companies who are automating Accounting.

easy to use and less expensive than others in the market Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reports can not be easily manipulated to get the results wanted. Billing templates are limited. A/P reports are stock and can't get like unpaid consultants by project on AP and reports and can't increase font or zoom on the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The migration team has been helpful and very thorough in assisting my company with transitioning to Unanet AE ERP. They laid out a detailed transition plan from the start and have walked us through each phase of the transition. It has been a very smooth process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For heavy users, it's annoying to have to switch between the desktop and web versions to access certain feature. I wish they mimicked each other and had the same feature available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unanet has a variety of ways to use it, including web access, desktop application, and a mobile app. The modern UI is simple, clean, and easy to use, which is a priority with a user based experience. Unanet was very easy to switch to from my previous software, and I use it pretty much every day. Additionally the support team is quick to respond to emails from my experience, and generally it's been easy to integrate to Unanet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Considering how little time I've spent with Unanet at this point, this should be taken lightly, but the only downside I've experienced so far is that I cannot create my own timesheets, my HR team has to do that for me, but that's mostly a personal issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of tracking projects and running reports and historical information, as well as drilling down to details if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are SO many different aspects of the system. And when our team implemented, we only brushed the surface. It's now been so long since implementation and doing it the "basic" way that as we try to bring in more complexity, it's a challenge of changing processes for the team. But also so many aspects that now we are adding some but not all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unanet AE ERP is a good system to use in the accounting sector. Using this software I have built out processes of tracking the profit of projects, easier to generate AR statements, and automated invoices has been a good added touch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Unanet AE ERP is really good, it's not perfect. There are a lot of pro's the only cons for me would be it's not 100% user friendly. Some tasks are unnecessarily more time consuming to complete than they should be Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We initially chose AE ERP because of the cost but quickly learned the product's value was an excellent investment. The software has helped us create efficiencies within our office. I also like that AE allows you to request updates within the support center. Users (across the country) can vote on the items listed by users, which the development team uses to prioritize updates.

There are options to pull in data fields throughout the software, but I have found that it would be helpful if additional tables were drawn into the options menu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to manage projects, time, finances, and more all in one convenient place. One bonus part is that it talks to the CRM. Our staff uses it every day. We were able to work with their supportive team to migrate from another program to Unanet AE within a short period of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do believe the desktop version is outdated looking and not very user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
