More Infor VISUAL Pros →

"I haven't used it a lot, but the best thing is that the processes are very detailed.""It's enhanced by a subscription billing add-on, to efficiently automate billing and invoicing, particularly due to our substantial customer database.""The solution is easy to use and not complicated. Also, it is easy to get trained on. Also, there is good information available on the web. The GP community is quite broad and there are many blogs online.""We have gained the capability to control and address various issues within the financial module effectively.""You can track everything from beginning to end quite easily.""The solution is easy to use.""The fixed assets, payroll, the data module, and user-friendliness are most valuable.""The most valuable feature is the ability to easily update and maintain accurate data across all aspects of our operations."

Cons
"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."

More Infor VISUAL Cons →

"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.""Many of our customers are migrating to the cloud rather than staying on-premises.""It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. ​""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.""What could be improved is the functionality of Dynamics GP because it requires a lot of development by the programmers and the company in order to integrate into a solution.""There should also be extra redundancy when posting to modules. We use different sets of books such as CashBook and CheckBooks therefore if I select the wrong one the solution allows the transaction to just pass without warning.""The purchase order and processing aspects of the solution should be improved.""This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time."
