We performed a comparison between Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Microsoft Dynamics GP based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Microsoft products are very good in general. This product is flexible, easy to use, intuitive, and has good capabilities."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution makes everything organized for my organization or enterprise. It makes workflows more than clear."
"The tool covers most of the business requirements that most companies have, especially financial institutions."
"We like the manufacturing and case management modules."
"It is a scalable solution. There are more than 5,000 end users in my organization."
"It is easy to use, and it works very well for small-scale companies."
"We use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central as CRM."
"I haven't used it a lot, but the best thing is that the processes are very detailed."
"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."
"You can track everything from beginning to end quite easily."
"The stability was reliable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is financial control. The accounting aspect allows us to manage our clients and payments."
"It is strong in integration."
"Any request that had come from the website had to go through an e-form which was then plugged into Microsoft Dynamics NAV. There was no direct data capture. That was the pain point, where clients had to build e-forms, and that caused delays in transactions and getting information."
"One aspect that could be improved in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is the visibility and accessibility of communication-related features, such as email integration."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV could improve the reporting."
"I would like to have more frequent updates."
"The product should improve work optimization."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV will be replaced with Office 365 in the future."
"I am hoping there is more integration with other platforms, more features, and customization in the next release."
"I wouldn't say that Microsoft Dynamics is very scalable."
"The issue we're encountering is that it's primarily designed for independent installations and not initially structured as a cloud-based solution, which has led to challenges with connectivity."
"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."
"The purchase order and processing aspects of the solution should be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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."
