"One of the valuable features of the solution is how easy it is to use."
"It is easy to use, and it has a great UI. It has very well-structured modules. In terms of setup and configuration, they're logically placed, which makes it easy for any user to pick up information and learn more about the system, rather than just be plain key users of that business operating system."
"AX is nearly a Tier One product, so implementations are long, but there's a lot of flexibility. Also, the ability to handle different issues found in larger organizations."
"We're using the solution for financial modules, specifically focusing on consolidation, financial configuration, management reporting for warehousing, sales. Most of the features of Microsoft Dynamics AX are good. The overall structure and functions are great. The solution is stable. The initial setup is straightforward."
"Technical support is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics AX is material planning."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics AX are ease of use and performance."
"It is flexible and cost-effective."

"It could be more scalable and stable. It would also be better if the interface were more integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem because 2012 is not really integrated."
"There is room for improvement in the licensing model and associated costs of this solution."
"The user interface could be better."
"There should be the capability for users to enhance the application by using a low-code or no-code product from the Microsoft family."
"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."
"It is being decommissioned."
"There is also slowness in database backup."
"The product is standardised across industries so it is not a good fit for all types of sectors."
