In its favor

Why people choose Exact Globe

The signal that keeps Exact Globe on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.

Industry-specific workflows for manufacturing, wholesale distribution, and project accounting reduce post-implementation configuration time for businesses in those verticals.

Real-time embedded BI tools give stakeholders direct access to data visualizations without requiring a separate reporting layer.

Flexible deployment options — cloud or on-premise — let IT teams align Exact Globe with existing infrastructure and security policies.

Large-database support is cited by mid-market users managing complex Chart of Accounts and high-volume transaction histories.

Multi-currency, multi-country, and multi-language capabilities serve international SMBs with operations across EU and APAC regions.

The mandatory migration to Exact Globe+ ( Exact Globe Next reaches end-of-support end of 2026) forces customers into a disruptive platform upgrade they did not choose.

The browser-based UI is described as outdated compared to modern SaaS ERP alternatives, driving dissatisfaction among users expecting contemporary UX.

No auto-save or automatic data-backup means page crashes or unexpected disconnects result in lost work with no recovery path.

Third-party add-on dependencies complicate both upgrades and migrations — customers must contact each vendor independently to confirm compatibility.

Support responsiveness is rated inconsistently, with some mid-market users reporting slow resolution times for critical issues.

Platform scorecard

Strengths, weaknesses, and where Exact Globe fits

Grades across six dimensions, plus a SWOT-style view of where the platform shines and where it falls short.

SWOT — strengths, weaknesses, and use-case fit

Strengths

Comprehensive ERP suite covering financials, inventory, purchasing, manufacturing, and project accounting in one integrated system.Multi-country, multi-currency, and multi-language support with local regulatory compliance for over 40 countries.Industry-specific modules for manufacturing, wholesale distribution, and professional services reduce out-of-box configuration.Embedded real-time analytics and BI tools provide stakeholder reporting without a separate BI platform.Flexible deployment — on-premise or cloud-hosted — accommodates varied IT governance requirements.

Weaknesses

Mandatory end-of-life of Exact Globe Next (end of 2026) forces customers into a disruptive upgrade cycle.The client-server architecture and Windows-centric UI feel dated compared to modern cloud-native ERP SaaS products.No automatic data-backup on browser crash or unexpected disconnect causes data-loss risk reported in user reviews.Third-party add-on ecosystem creates migration complexity — every third-party vendor must validate Exact Globe+ compatibility independently.Limited public API documentation and lower API rate limits on the Exact Online cloud tier constrain automated migration tooling.

Where it works

Mid-market manufacturers with 51–1000 employees managing complex BOMs, shop-floor inventory, and multi-warehouse distribution in EU or APAC regions.SMBs in wholesale distribution and discrete manufacturing requiring large transaction histories, real-time stock positions, and embedded analytics across departments.Professional services firms with project-accounting needs — tracking time, resource allocation, and billing — within a single integrated ERP environment.Organizations with strict on-premise data residency requirements or IT governance policies that prohibit cloud-only deployment models.Companies with established Windows/SQL Server infrastructure and IT staff experienced in managing DLL-based integrations and custom field extensions.

Where it struggles

Organizations facing the mandatory Exact Globe end-of-life deadline (end of 2026) must coordinate disruptive migrations with no side-by-side run capability.Companies with frequent API-driven integrations — rate limits around 5000 calls/day constrain automated migration tooling and real-time data pipelines.Businesses with large third-party add-on ecosystems face complex migration paths: every third-party vendor must independently validate Exact Globe+ compatibility.Teams expecting modern cloud-native UX — the client-server Windows UI and missing auto-save functionality create a dated, data-loss-prone experience.High-growth companies or enterprises requiring unlimited scalability, extensive public API documentation, or modern mobile-first workflows.

What gets migrated

Exact Globe object support

Object-by-object support for Exact Globe migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.

Accounts (Debtors/Creditors)

Fully supported

Accounts is a core master-data table in Exact Globe. The schema is stable across versions and maps directly to Customers/Vendors in most destination ERPs. We extract via standard export or .NET DLL calls and preserve account type, classification, and balance fields.

Financial entries and entry lines

Mapping required

Exact Globe stores journal entries and their line items in separate but related tables. Entry-level metadata (date, journal, description) and line-level data (account, debit, credit, dimension) both migrate, but dimension structures vary significantly between Exact Globe and destination systems and require explicit mapping.

Invoices and invoice lines

Mapping required

Sales and purchase invoices are split into header and line tables. We extract both, preserving the relationship via invoice number keys. Tax codes, payment terms, and status flags require field-level mapping to align with the destination's invoice schema.

Items

Fully supported

Items (products, services, and variants) are a well-structured master-data object. We extract item code, description, unit of measure, cost price, sales price, and BOM associations. BOM links to production routing require supplemental extraction.

Orders and order lines

Mapping required

Sales orders and purchase orders each split into header and line rows. Order status (open, processed, invoiced) and back-order relationships must be preserved through ID key mapping. Partial shipment logic in the destination may need custom field augmentation.

Projects

Fully supported

Project accounting is embedded throughout Exact Globe's product line. We extract project headers, cost categories, billing methods, and budget data. Project-related time entries are a separate object and require a joined export.

Quotations

Mapping required

Quotations are header-level documents with line items. Conversion status (expired, converted to order) is stored as a flag and must map to the destination's opportunity or sales-order conversion logic.

Human Resources

Mapping required

HR data in Exact Globe covers employee records, compensation, and org structure. Effective-dated changes are stored transactionally, which requires careful sequencing during export to preserve historical state in the destination.

Contact persons

Fully supported

Contact persons are linked to Accounts but have independent records. We extract name, role, email, phone, and address fields. Ownership and lifecycle-stage assignments map to custom properties in the destination CRM.

General ledger

Fully supported

The Chart of Accounts and all posted journal entries are available for export. We handle account codes, descriptions, account groups, and posting history. Locked or reconciled periods require date-range scoping during extraction.

Bills of Materials

Mapping required

BOMs define multi-level product structures with component items, quantities, and routing steps. Exporting BOMs requires recursive traversal of sub-assemblies, which we handle in staged extraction passes to avoid memory exhaustion on deep structures.

Fixed Assets

Mapping required

Fixed asset records include acquisition cost, depreciation method, book value, and asset class. Depreciation schedules must be recalculated in the destination if the fiscal year calendar differs, requiring date-projection logic post-load.

Custom fields on standard tables

Mapping required

Exact Globe allows custom fields (text, long, double, date, bit) on 14 standard tables including Financial entries, Accounts, Invoices, Items, Orders, Projects, HR, and Contact persons. We catalog every custom field, its type, and length constraint during discovery and map them to destination custom properties.

Attachments

Not in this platform

Exact Globe stores file attachments within the database or on local/network paths referenced by the application. Binary blob attachments require file-system access and are not reliably retrievable via the standard export APIs, making document migration a manual post-migration step.
