Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."Flexibility is the best feature. Because we have the source code, we can develop our ideas. It enables us to develop new functions."
"The production is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics AX is customization."
"One of the valuable features of the solution is how easy it is to use."
"It is flexible and cost-effective."
"The performance is good."
"It is stable, suitable for businesses, and covers all business needs."
"This solution's most valuable feature is its workflow for purchase orders and inventory."
"I believe Penta costs less than SAP"
"There is room for improvement when handling various currencies within the current Microsoft Dynamics AX system."
"AX does take some time and maintenance."
"If I had to add something in the next release, it would probably be a mobile application for a sister application of Dynamics 365; not the ERP but the Dynamics 365 HR solution. It would definitely help if we could have Microsoft or a Microsoft partner introduce a mobile application for it."
"There is also slowness in database backup."
"There is no Arabic interface in Microsoft Business Central, which is a big weak point."
"There should be the capability for users to enhance the application by using a low-code or no-code product from the Microsoft family."
"I sometimes put in wrong data that needs correction, but I cannot change it or approve it without withdrawing it. It will then take time for me to go back in and edit it."
"Microsoft Dynamics AX could be improved by having more features available. We are going to 365 now, to use all the modules, because we found that there weren't many new things we were able to develop with AX. There were a lot of things that weren't available, so we are moving and integrating other things. The customization of upgrades should also be faster. We would also like to see more security features."
"However, the production guys tell me that Penta is not suitable for mass production. If we build a hundred cars per day or more, then we'll have problems. At the same time, I can't say whether the issue is Penta or our process. In other words, maybe we have too many manual projects in it."
