Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."I like that all of the student information is in one place."
"Support is really good."
"Almost all of the features that we use are efficient. Live master planning successfully handles all of our company's requirements."
"The most valuable feature I've found is the UI functionality."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics is very stable."
"It is flexible and cost-effective."
"The product is easier to use and has more efficient workflow management features than other vendors."
"If anyone is familiar with Microsoft products then they can handle it easily."
"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"It needs better financials and reporting from the system, not through Excel."
"Microsoft Dynamics AX can improve system performance and security. The security is basic and needs a lot of improvement."
"The implementation was completed within one month."
"They should include some modules related to solving customer problems or resolving support tickets from our customers — like a help desk for ERPs."
"Change management could be better."
"The product needs improvement in procurement planning. It also needs to include a production scheduling feature."
"If I had to add something in the next release, it would probably be a mobile application for a sister application of Dynamics 365; not the ERP but the Dynamics 365 HR solution. It would definitely help if we could have Microsoft or a Microsoft partner introduce a mobile application for it."
"The older version of Microsoft Dynamics AX that we are using is not as scalable as the newer version."
