Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily update and maintain accurate data across all aspects of our operations.""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.""You can track everything from beginning to end quite easily.""The solution is easy to use.""The most valuable feature is financial control. The accounting aspect allows us to manage our clients and payments.""It's enhanced by a subscription billing add-on, to efficiently automate billing and invoicing, particularly due to our substantial customer database.""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."

"If I put myself in the customer's shoes, it's easier to use. Reporting would be a very valuable feature.""It's pretty easy to set up."

Cons
"It requires a lot of expertise to implement.""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.""Many of our customers are migrating to the cloud rather than staying on-premises.""Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications.""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.""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.""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."

"An area of improvement could be around automation and predictability.""The licensing of the solution should be adjusted. The policies aren't ideal. They should make it easier to understand. Right now, it's too confusing."

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."

  • "If the value proposition is clear for the customer, they won't see it as an expensive solution. A solution becomes expensive when it doesn't do what it promises."
