Some legacy platforms try to adapt to change with add-ons, stand-alone databases, or additional software to give their latest software the appearance of being cloud friendly. Acumatica, on the other hand, is a software that is authentically cloud-based, which is the platform of the future.
SaaS, more specifically, has been gaining popularity and demand. Acumatica wanted to find out why so they released an analyst report by Mint Jutras that found the top reasons businesses opted for SaaS. The reports found that:
“50% of those surveyed cited lower total cost of ownership (TCO), 47% also noted lower startup costs. 61% of those already running SaaS ERP said not having to hire IT staff was part of the appeal of SaaS. 42% of respondents included the reduced cost and effort of upgrades as an advantage to SaaS.”

GetApp.com Verified Review:
"Great Cloud ERP"
"We are using the software internally to replace our existing ERP. We are choosing the on-premise model so that we can more easily access the SQL data for reporting purposes. We will be using the core financials and project accounting for time and billing purposes. The interface is a snap to learn, and very customizable. Lots of great UI features like copying transactions, customizing the grid layout when entering data, and more. We were also easily able to import our master records using the built-in import tool. Using sub-accounts and the Analytical Report Manager (ARM) for financials is similar to the old FRx, but better, and also built into the platform.
Pros: Great user interface, easy to add custom fields, some unique features like Attributes, sub-accounts, non-inventory items, Branches good, detailed security model, choice of options of deployment, built-in reporting and report customizations, good drill-down features within the reporting
Cons: The custom report modification tool needs more polish to it. The built-in CRM system could be more robust, compared with a CRM-only system."
