Interprise vs other On-Premise All-on-One Soluations

[Switchables]

I'm currently comparison shopping some All-in-One ERP solutions for my business. We currently use Quickbooks, and we're looking to progress.

As of right now, Interprsie and Everest seem the most intriguing. However, the pricing difference between the two is insane. I could get away with Interprise likely for under $10k, while Everest is sitting between $20-30k as a low-end quote estimate.

Are there huge differences between the programs? Stability? Functionality? Scalability? Can I justify spending 2-3x as much for Everest?

I'm hoping to get an unbiased viewpoint of the two solutions, or possibly other solutions that could compare.

Keep in mind we're a wholesale only business with very little manufacturing, so open source mfg programs aren't a great fit for us.

Thanks,

Matt

Have you looked at Evolution (www.darwinproductions.net) yet?

I narroved my search down to Evolution and Interprise.

Take a look and let us know what you think!

Thanks!

My research has indicated that Everest is almost neck-and-neck with Netsuite when it comes to pricing. Collectively, they are top-of-the-range, and really don't appear to understand the needs of small business; they are really more suited to medium-sized businesses.

Interprise is a new one to me.

Have you considered open source ERP+CRM software? You might seriously consider this - it is an area that has come a long way, and gives proprietary software a good run for its money.

Try Google: open source crm + erp software.

I don't know how much research you've put into this to-date, but I found the research required to be _very_ extensive. But, given the kind of $ you're talking about dishing out, it is time both necessary and well spent.
