"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution is easy to use and not complicated. Also, it is easy to get trained on. Also, there is good information available on the web. The GP community is quite broad and there are many blogs online."
"It is a tried and tested ERP system which if used correctly, is definitely a very good program for managing all aspects of a business from customer sales, and receivables management, to payable management and finance reporting. So, it's super critical for any mid-sized company."
"It is strong in integration."
"The stability was reliable."
"The solution offers integrations with other software as well. We have integration with Microsoft Office where we can do Word and Excel, etc."
"The solution is flexible, has a lot of functionality, and has the ability to deliver more security than other comparable solutions."
"I have found the user interface very modern and it has simplified many user jobs, such as the embedded logistics. They have introduced central finance which has been a benefit."

"I can verify and provide the overall financial aid report and also the management report."
"This tool helps us to manage business in a faster and smarter way."
"The processes have been reduced from almost 10 steps to four or five steps. It's really been simplified."
"I like the user experience and usability of SAP Fiori, which is one of the main features that we are using."
"As for room for improvement, they have different modules, project and analytical accounting, but it will be good to have that kind of part in the standard package. To have that additional reporting functionality where you can add an attribute or something, which you can report again. So you can analyze the cost by not just natural accounts but also by a project, without having to go through another module edit on top and then the other module edit on top. The more modules you add, sometimes it doesn't work that well. Additionally, it would be easier to have the solution on the cloud. That's our consideration. We are trying to move all our systems to the cloud, and GP is one of them that we are going to move in the next couple of years. I would rate the solution seven or seven point five out of ten."
"The issue we're encountering is that it's primarily designed for independent installations and not initially structured as a cloud-based solution, which has led to challenges with connectivity."
"It requires a lot of expertise to implement."
"Many of our customers are migrating to the cloud rather than staying on-premises."
"This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time."
"What could be improved is the functionality of Dynamics GP because it requires a lot of development by the programmers and the company in order to integrate into a solution."
"As technology changes, I would say probably in the area of chart up account needs improvement because chart up account is a string. So if they make it more flexible."
"Dynamics GP could be improved in terms of its usability and modernization."
"We are always looking for a better user experience. We would like to see more consolidation in SAP S4HANA because of all the financial compliance and regulatory changes."
"When we want to raise a ticket on the SAP portal, the process takes a longer time, and there are many selections that confuse the user."
"It's an expensive solution"
"Every year, when a new version is released, it comes with a very thick booklet of 300 or 400 pages and it is a little difficult to comprehend."
"While the solution contemplates a competitively priced model, its pricing could be cheaper."
"The solution could be more user-friendly for regular users and developers."
"The solution could improve by making customization easier. The on-premise version is a lot more flexible."
"We would like to see more DevOps capabilities in the future."
