"Microsoft Dynamics NAV will be replaced with Office 365 in the future."

"The solution is not best suited for larger-scale businesses."
"There is room for improvement in the ability to reverse or correct transactions more easily."

"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"Analytics could be improved."
"The solution is expensive. That can be an issue for clients."
"SAP S/4HANA Cloud's customization can be improved."
"The pricing is way over any of the other ERPs, and the bank integrations are not perfect. There are a lot of costs for other implementations and integrations with Salesforce and other systems. Rather than being a fully-fledged system on its own like most of the other ERPs, it relies too much on developed integrations by the implementation partner."
"The solution’s reporting could be improved."
"The proposition by SAP does not match the value realization."
