We performed a comparison between Microsoft Dynamics GP and SAP S/4HANA 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."The system is easy to customize and has user-friendly access. "
"It's enhanced by a subscription billing add-on, to efficiently automate billing and invoicing, particularly due to our substantial customer database."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It is strong in integration."
"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."
"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."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the SAP Fiori application."
"The processes have been reduced from almost 10 steps to four or five steps. It's really been simplified."
"In terms of its most valuable feature, I would say the finance module."
"It is a very scalable solution. We have enterprise-level businesses using this solution."
"From a technology standpoint, the theory and analytics are fascinating."
"SAP S/4HANA is the preferred database because of its scalability, faster accessibility, compatibility, and other well-suited features for large data sets."
"SAP S4HANA has good performance and has allowed us to combine our systems."
"The performance of the solution is excellent."
"This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time."
"There should also be extra redundancy when posting to modules. We use different sets of books such as CashBook and CheckBooks therefore if I select the wrong one the solution allows the transaction to just pass without warning."
"Many of our customers are migrating to the cloud rather than staying on-premises."
"It requires a lot of expertise to implement."
"It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. "
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The integration could be made a little simpler in terms of design and implementation."
"It is simple to implement SAP S4HANA. If you are already in this type of environment, then the transition is not very complex. However, if you do not then it can be difficult."
"Planned Order List needs a change of screen."
"Their yearly licensing is expensive. Improvements are needed on the user experience level and digital work."
"The migration to SAP S/4HANA is hard."
"Items that impact the TCO should be improved because the solution is very complex to integrate and keep running."
"The product's use of resources could be improved, as it is quite intensive at the moment."
"The Capex and Opex could be improved."
