We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It's enhanced by a subscription billing add-on, to efficiently automate billing and invoicing, particularly due to our substantial customer database.""The fixed assets, payroll, the data module, and user-friendliness are most valuable.""It is strong in integration.""The stability was reliable.""The solution is easy to use.""The system is easy to customize and has user-friendly access. ​""The most valuable feature is the ability to easily update and maintain accurate data across all aspects of our operations."

Cons
"It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. ​""It requires a lot of expertise to implement.""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.""Dynamics GP could be improved in terms of its usability and modernization.""This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time.""As technology changes, I would say probably in the area of chart up account needs improvement because chart up account is a string. So if they make it more flexible.""Many of our customers are migrating to the cloud rather than staying on-premises."

"I would like to see more flexibility in the customization for us to be able to customize it based on the client's requirements.""Reporting and analytics features must be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Its pricing and licensing are high. Of course, we all know that it is Microsoft."
  • "​We evaluated some local products, because of the pricing, but this product has better features and support."
  • "For us, in our local currency, it costs us around 5 million Botswanan Pulas a year. It's quite a lot of money."
  • "The solution's price is steep."
  • "I think the tool is competitively priced and it's more of a one-time investment with a low annual renewal fee."
  • "I would say that the pricing is moderate, not cheap, and not expensive. There are many more expensive ERPs than GP, and there are less expensive as well, so it is moderately priced."
  • "In comparison to other ERP systems, the pricing is not necessarily inexpensive, but it can be considered more cost-effective."
  • "It is an affordable solution."
