"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics NAV is its simplicity of accounting and receiving reports. The solution is similar to Microsoft Excel, and that similarity is good. All the functions of Microsoft Dynamics are user-friendly."
"Microsoft products are very good in general. This product is flexible, easy to use, intuitive, and has good capabilities."
"We like the manufacturing and case management modules."

"There are workspace issues, like the limitation on model sizes."
"Anaplan should come up with flexible options to connect to a data warehouse rather than an Anaplan hub."
"The formulas in Power BI could be simpler. Sometimes, it's difficult to figure them out, but I am part of a lot of communities that work with us, so we help each other."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV could be improved in terms of exporting income statements and balance sheets. Currently, there is a feature, but you can only have the last three years. I spent some time trying to improve the KPI portion that exports the data, that already calculates the sub forms or subtotals, but they weren't able to break that up into different dimensions. They've now managed to crowd the separate table and you can export that, but it's only for the last three years. So, they could improve this solution by getting the chart of accounts or the account schedules to be exported, where you can go further than just three years with it."
"There is room for improvement in the ability to reverse or correct transactions more easily."
"We need to customize more often than we would like."
"I would like to improve the tool’s reporting and coding part."
"The performance and virtual machine backup is not good with this solution and need improvements."
"In the next release, I would like to see a quality check module - Navision doesn't have one, and the industry very much requires it."
"There is a lot of improvement needed in the top model, such as better integration with logistics, quality management, and data modeling for all revenue types."
