Acumatica
by Acumatica (EQT)
Acumatica is a cloud ERP for mid-market companies with editions for distribution, manufacturing, construction, and retail. Its consumption-based licensing (pay for resources, not per user) makes it attractive for companies with many casual users. Sold and implemented entirely through partners.

Integrations
Moderate ecosystemAcumatica Marketplace. Moderate: roughly 260-300 pre-built certified integrations, with 50+ new ISV apps added in 2025.
Notable integrations
API quality: Contract-based REST API plus a read-only OData feed, but the OData layer doesn't support $count, $search, or $batch despite being marketed as "OData-compliant," and metadata isn't available for all entities.
What doesn't connect cleanly
- — Rate limits aren't self-service. Increasing them requires contacting Acumatica directly, a real problem for e-commerce real-time pricing lookups
- — No deep native Salesforce connector: actual connectivity runs through Celigo/iPaaS, not a first-party bidirectional sync
- — Support runs through third-party VARs; G2 analysis found ~70% of support-related reviews negative and 75% unhappy with implementation timelines/costs
- — Native reporting/BI is weak enough that most organizations supplement with third-party tools
