Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's enhanced by a subscription billing add-on, to efficiently automate billing and invoicing, particularly due to our substantial customer database.""The fixed assets, payroll, the data module, and user-friendliness are most valuable.""It is strong in integration.""The solution offers integrations with other software as well. We have integration with Microsoft Office where we can do Word and Excel, etc.""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.""The stability was reliable.""You can track everything from beginning to end quite easily."

"It is the best solution in the class of ERP products.""Good customization features.""The most valuable features of SAP ERP are the general operations. It has a good way to manage a business and do financial reporting. Overall we are happy with the robustness of the solution.""SAP is more reliable in terms of data quality than other systems.""ERP is stable. The outcome is clear to us as far as the design goes.""The solution is very mature.""It automates transactional processes.""It is a stable solution...Our company has experienced a return on investment using the solution."

Cons
"Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications.""It requires a lot of expertise to implement.""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.""It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. ​""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.""This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time.""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.""Many of our customers are migrating to the cloud rather than staying on-premises."

More Microsoft Dynamics GP Cons →

"In the next release, I would like to see more technical integration for directly designed solutions on behalf of the selling process so that you can design solutions and not have to use ten or more other tools to get the solution for selling.""There will always be something within our business that it won't fit.""The user interface isn't as nice as SAP HANA's.""The reporting feature could improve in SAP ERP. It could benefit from being more flexible.""Sometimes the cost is not reasonable, such as in the case of budgeting.""SAP ERP's initial setup phase needs to be simplified.""SAP ERP was not very user-friendly.""The speed to build and the speed to deliver could be better."

  • "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."

  • "It is an affordable solution."
