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 solution's integrations and interface are very good."
"Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is extremely stable as it does not rely on our in-house servers."
"The customer support is good. The first level of support agent in every case was able to solve the problem very quickly."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV is brilliant and it's a different segment when comparing it with Dynamics AX. Dynamics AX is a larger product with much more features and it's aimed at a different segment of the market."
"The most valuable features of Business Central for me are its seamless integration with Power BI and the ability to create customized reports."
"It is easy to use, and it works very well for small-scale companies."
"The platform offers a robust and comprehensive cycle for supply chain and inventory management, with features like minimum and maximum settings, dynamic monitoring of inventory levels, and integration with Microsoft's AI capabilities."
"Microsoft products are very good in general. This product is flexible, easy to use, intuitive, and has good capabilities."
"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"Since it's complex for a layperson user to understand the solution, it would be better if the solution provided some training resources."
"Some of the control aspects such as auditing can definitely be improved. For example, auditing is not very easy, and the user permissions are complicated."
"I would like a more modular and user-friendly interface."
"The UI is not particularly user-friendly and the CRM could do with some enhancements."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV could be improved in terms of exporting income statements and balance sheets. Currently, there is a feature, but you can only have the last three years. I spent some time trying to improve the KPI portion that exports the data, that already calculates the sub forms or subtotals, but they weren't able to break that up into different dimensions. They've now managed to crowd the separate table and you can export that, but it's only for the last three years. So, they could improve this solution by getting the chart of accounts or the account schedules to be exported, where you can go further than just three years with it."
"The Power BI integration could be more seamless."
"The solution is not best suited for larger-scale businesses."
"We need to customize more often than we would like."
