Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."The system is easy to customize and has user-friendly access. "
"The solution offers integrations with other software as well. We have integration with Microsoft Office where we can do Word and Excel, etc."
"The fixed assets, payroll, the data module, and user-friendliness are most valuable."
"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."
"I haven't used it a lot, but the best thing is that the processes are very detailed."
"It is strong in integration."
"We have gained the capability to control and address various issues within the financial module effectively."
"It's enhanced by a subscription billing add-on, to efficiently automate billing and invoicing, particularly due to our substantial customer database."
"I believe Penta costs less than SAP"
"It requires a lot of expertise to implement."
"It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. "
"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."
"This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time."
"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 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."
"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."
