Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."NAV covers everything from purchasing and selling items to invoicing. Everything is within NAV, so it's all very neat."
"The most valuable features of Business Central for me are its seamless integration with Power BI and the ability to create customized reports."
"The most important feature of Microsoft Dynamics NAV is that it lets us centralize all our information so that we don't need to rely on any other software outside of Microsoft."
"One developer is enough to maintain the solution. Microsoft 365 is changing technology. The product is a user-friendly ERP solution."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible, and customizable."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV's most valuable feature is the integration with other Microsoft solutions."
"It is a stable solution."
"Microsoft Dynamic 365 has everything we need, like Teams, Outlook, Excel, etc. I do a lot of data visualization, so I work a lot with Power BI. I bring in tables from Oracle and use Power Bi to manipulate and visualize the data. I handle all the stats and track everything that goes in and out of the company. We use all the modules, but I work primarily with Power BI, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams. They are all equally important and work together."
"We have gained the capability to control and address various issues within the financial module effectively."
"The system is easy to customize and has user-friendly access. "
"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 is strong in integration."
"The solution is easy to use."
"I haven't used it a lot, but the best thing is that the processes are very detailed."
"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."
"The stability was reliable."
"Customization and costs could be improved."
"The UI is not particularly user-friendly and the CRM could do with some enhancements."
"I would like a more modular and user-friendly interface."
"The solution is not best suited for larger-scale businesses."
"Since it's complex for a layperson user to understand the solution, it would be better if the solution provided some training resources."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV will be replaced with Office 365 in the future."
"Its task scheduling and manufacturing models need improvement."
"As our company grew we had to switch from Microsoft Dynamics NAV to a solution that was suited for larger-sized companies."
"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."
"Many of our customers are migrating to the cloud rather than staying on-premises."
"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."
"This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time."
"It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. "
"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."
"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."
"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."
