Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like that all of the student information is in one place."
"The stability was reliable."
"It is strong in integration."
"The fixed assets, payroll, the data module, and user-friendliness are most valuable."
"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."
"We have gained the capability to control and address various issues within the financial module effectively."
"The solution is easy to use."
"I haven't used it a lot, but the best thing is that the processes are very detailed."
"The most valuable feature is financial control. The accounting aspect allows us to manage our clients and payments."
"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"Dynamics GP could be improved in terms of its usability and modernization."
"It requires a lot of expertise to implement."
"Many of our customers are migrating to the cloud rather than staying on-premises."
"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."
"This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time."
"The biggest problem with GP is that it's not cloud based and it doesn't lend itself to subscription licensing. But Microsoft wants everything in the cloud and licensed on a subscription basis.Even tThough GP can be deployed on a cloud server, but basically, it's a Windows based product. It uses the older model and companies purchase the program and pay a 16-18 sixteen- eighteen percent annual renewal fee but Microsoft wants everybody to pay monthly or annual renewal fees on a subscription basis."
"With payroll, the payroll that they have offers US or Canadian tax. However, here, our tax payments are different from the US and Canada. It is very difficult to put in our tax tables. We need some customization. It should be readily available for any country to use according to their tax implications. The system should know different types of tax regimes around the world so that it can accommodate. It's a little bit rigid on that."
"The purchase order and processing aspects of the solution should be improved."
