Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Pricing

David Hatfield - PeerSpot reviewer
ERP Director/Partner at UniverseIT

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a more cost-effective option for entry-level users. Firstly, there is no need to purchase user licenses, unlike GP which costs around $3,000 per user. Instead, Business Central charges a monthly fee of $70 to $100 per user. Although the recurring cost may add up over time, it is not a substantial up front expense like GP.

There are two types of licenses. One is the essential license in which everything is covered, and the next is the premium. If your company is a manufacturing or service management company, then you can go for the premium license because those two modules are the premium ones. You can manage your manufacturing activities and your service activities.

The per user price of $100 a month is better than competitors.

Much of an ERPs cost is in the implementation. The solution takes less time to implement than competitors so that saves on costs. 

For example, the solution takes about five months to implement but a competitor tool might take eight months to a year. That doubles your cost.

Regarding professional accounts, we have the option to purchase six accounts at a relatively low cost.

We are required to pay licensing fees, and when it came time to renew our license, we opted for a five-year subscription.

In my opinion, the fees are reasonable.

The solution is on the cloud and they provide 50 gigabytes of free space on their
Microsoft Drive. The reason for this is that Microsoft is requiring you to upgrade all of your systems to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in order to effectively use the cloud. This means that if you are currently using a different version of Microsoft for a specific purpose that does not require this solution, it can be frustrating to have to spend money to upgrade to this solution just for the purpose of syncing with the cloud. Additionally, even if you do purchase Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, there can still be issues with syncing between the on-premise and cloud clients. This can be especially frustrating as the cloud storage is not free and can be difficult to access even after purchasing.

I rate the price of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central a six out of ten.

The licensing is reasonable. They also provide data management and recovery via backups. I'd rate the affordability seven out of ten based on the costs in the Pakistani market. Local partners will charge for implementation, which could be an extra cost for a company.

The on-premises model of Dynamics NAV is very expensive, hence our plan to migrate to Dynamics 365 Business Central, which appears to fit our needs better in terms of pricing. Compared to competitors, the cloud version of Dynamics is in the middle; not too high and not too low.

The cost is one of the benefits. If you don't want to go for the full-blown finance and operations, the pricing model is a lot cheaper and has now switched to being based on a per-user subscription. So, if it's on cloud, you now have an expense instead of a large CapEx. If it's on-prem, you obviously still have to continue with the licensing model that they have, but if you compare the features and functionality, in terms of the price that you pay, I find it's better than other products. 

My answer on the pricing would be slightly different, depending on the country you're in and the return on investment, based on the size of the company. It's well-priced internationally. I think the new model is priced even better because it's now subscription-based and, if you go for cloud, the return on investment is a lot quicker and if it's expense, you can cap it. If you do take the on-prem version, the licensing is still priced as what it used to be, so that would depend on what country you are in.
