The honest half

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about BatchMaster.

  • Per-user licensing model can increase total cost of ownership for organizations with many users accessing the system
  • Smaller user community compared to tier-1 ERP systems may limit support resources and third-party integrations
  • Mobile app capabilities are optional add-ons that increase overall deployment cost
