Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."One developer is enough to maintain the solution. Microsoft 365 is changing technology. The product is a user-friendly ERP solution."
"The solution's integration between Teams, SharePoint, and Exchange Online is really helpful."
"Has good integration with Power BI."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV is good for smaller-sized companies."
"All of the features are valuable, depending on where you implement them. I've done implementations in 60 countries, across 86 different companies and groups, and each company has a different reason for why they want to use it. Every single feature that I've implemented has been successful, and for some companies, where they didn't use the functionality, they have moved to external products or they've integrated into other applications."
"For me, the main strengths of Microsoft Dynamics NAV are that it's user-friendly and light. These are its major wins. I have used other ERPs and their architecture were a little more complex when compared to the Microsoft Dynamics NAV architecture."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV's most valuable feature is the integration with other Microsoft solutions."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The tool selection is really robust and scalable for multiple scenarios."
"We like the web portal or interface, which is great. The user experience is much better than the current traditional SAP landscape."
"Performs well and can be used with a wide range of devices."
"SAP S/4HANA Cloud provides easy database access."
"The solution is versatile with various integrated tools such as connecting with finance modules, controlling parameters, and creating universal journals."
"Both standard and customized integrations work well with no issues."
"The most valuable features of SAP S/4HANA Cloud are the ease of use from the cloud, CapEx analysis report, and everything being connected together well."
"The solution is not best suited for larger-scale businesses."
"If Microsoft made some of the security setups a little easier to work with, that would be a significant improvement. The warehouse management features could also use some work. We had to buy third-party software to make NAV's warehouse management and security more usable and functional."
"I think Microsoft should improve on the process of how the user decides on a business workflow. For example, there may be some kind of drag-and-drop interface that lets us decide for ourselves how to develop the business workflows that fit our purpose."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV could improve the reporting."
"There is room for improvement in the ability to reverse or correct transactions more easily."
"The solution is stable, but it could improve."

"One aspect that could be improved in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is the visibility and accessibility of communication-related features, such as email integration."
"It's a huge software, and they need to make it look less complex and more user friendly. They need to work on user stories and user experiences."
"S/4HANA isn't ideal for managing contracts and subscriptions. There isn't a feature to notify us when a contract for a service we need is approaching its end or a product is no longer supported. You need a separate solution for that."
"The solution's speed and dashboard could be improved."
"The scalability of the solution could improve."
"The pricing is high."
"The solution’s reporting could be improved."
"The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
