Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Metasfresh

  • Cloud hosting is charged separately from user licences at EUR 299 per month on monthly billing or EUR 249 per month on annual billing
  • The EUR 79 per user per month annual rate requires minimum user quantities that depend on company size; monthly billing costs EUR 99 per user per month
  • The mandatory starter package covering setup, customisation, project management and training is priced individually on request
  • Standard support is email only during business hours; a 24/7 SLA is a separate contract on request
  • All published prices exclude VAT
  • Projects larger than the L size starter package require an individual quote

Tyler Enterprise ERP (Munis)

  • Implementation is a one to two year project with data conversion and chart of accounts redesign, and the professional services cost regularly exceeds the software cost in the first years.
  • Nothing is published, and pricing varies substantially between jurisdictions of similar size, so buyers should compare quotes with peer authorities and cooperative contract pricing rather than negotiate blind.
  • Tyler is steering customers from perpetual on-premise licences to cloud subscription, which converts a capital purchase into a recurring operating cost that many jurisdictions have not budgeted for over a ten year horizon.
  • The user experience is generational and module-dependent, with parts of the system still reflecting older design, so occasional users such as departmental approvers need repeated training.
  • Tyler has acquired heavily and its product portfolio overlaps, so a jurisdiction can find itself running two Tyler products that do similar things with an integration between them rather than one coherent system.

Source
Tyler Enterprise ERP (Munis): Can we stay on-premise?

Tyler is directing new business to its cloud offering. Existing on-premise customers are being encouraged to migrate, so model the subscription cost before assuming the old licensing continues indefinitely.

Fund accounting, encumbrances, GASB reporting and state-specific payroll rules are the reason. Corporate ERP requires heavy customisation to satisfy a government audit.
