Find that my company is Process Manufacturing I would like to have a comparison of some ERP software. I use tool at TEC to compare SAP, Oracle E-Business Suite and Microsoft Dynamic Axapta. But remember that the result is based on functionality, technical and business criteria. It does not cover cost-benefit (ROI). So the highest score could be have lower ROI. Please do not 100% rely on the result as final decision in selecting proper ERP software since there are some other related components you must evaluate with.
You will get a questionnaire consist of 9 questions. You have to answer all of them so that the tool can establish right comparison.
Here are answers I supplied to the questionnaire:

- Other ERP Acquisition Option : we want to consider having a completely custom system developed
- Manufacturing environment
- Continuous process
- Make –to-order
- Make-to-stock
- Time frame for implementation : 7 – 12 month
Once it finished, the tool will display some graphs. Below is overall performance comparison of those ERP :
