Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."The response time of the solution is very good."
"Microsoft Dynamics is very stable."
"Supply Chain Management is an excellent feature."
"Flexibility is the best feature. Because we have the source code, we can develop our ideas. It enables us to develop new functions."
"The most valuable feature for us is the manufacturing module. It addresses our product costing for tuna canning."
"If anyone is familiar with Microsoft products then they can handle it easily."
"I am impressed with the tool's vendor collaboration. It is also easy to connect with third-party applications."
"It is flexible and cost-effective."
"The Financial Accounting module, in general, is quite good. It is quite simple but powerful. Similarly, the Manufacturing functionality, including a multiple level bill of materials, is also quite useful."
"Microsoft could provide more flexible hardware requirements that can scale with the volume of data being processed rather than providing only a minimum requirement."
"There is room for improvement when handling various currencies within the current Microsoft Dynamics AX system."
"It needs better financials and reporting from the system, not through Excel."
"The product must be made accessible online."
"The database requires a huge CPU and memory resources."
"Microsoft Dynamics AX could be improved by having more features available. We are going to 365 now, to use all the modules, because we found that there weren't many new things we were able to develop with AX. There were a lot of things that weren't available, so we are moving and integrating other things. The customization of upgrades should also be faster. We would also like to see more security features."
"From a consultant's point of view, I recommend an enhancement in terms of detailed documentation for the products on the website."
"The on-premises and desktop versions are not user-friendly."
"SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module. One of my clients is a project-based organization, and they're finding it extremely difficult to manage their business using SYSPRO, to the point that they're looking at alternative solutions. The Projects and Contracts module is not a very useful tool. It does project accounting reasonably well, but in terms of putting in proper structures, like a work breakdown structure and so forth, it's actually quite poor. Their design or their architecture for the Projects module isn't good enough. They need to redesign it and redevelop it. They have made improvements. However, the problem is that if you're building on a bad foundation, then your building isn't going to be very strong. That's principally their problem. Any heavy equipment company would have a requirement to keep their equipment available for production. In that sense, SYSPRO has no maintenance management functionality. There's also no functionality for field services management. These two functionalities are critical for places like mines or for heavy equipment manufacturers who service the aftermarket and so forth. From a product perspective, this obviously isn't a good place to be because they are sort of taking themselves out of the market for quite a number of industries. They are constrained to manufacturing and distribution."
