Microsoft Dynamics NAV Reviews

What is our primary use case?

We have the standard NAV and we also have a vertical that's developed for the auto dealership business industry. Both of them are based NAV but the vertical is also based on Dynamics NAV. It has simplified a lot of the issues in product selections and the like. The reseller is certified on their platforms, and we obviously use the product. We have quite a strong partnership with Microsoft.

What is our primary use case?

I would suggest that organizations planning to move to MS NAV should focus on MS Business central instead. Overall, I would rate the solution…

What is our primary use case?

We use Microsoft Dynamics NAV for everything that the software has to offer. Some accounting, financing, a little bit of CRM, order processing, marketing sales, and ERP.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise potential users to get whatever data is needed to implement this. The partnership should give you whatever you need, according to your experience. Just ask what's the requirement and follow the partner's guide. It's already a step-by-step process. It's not going to be very difficult to follow. They will explain what's required of us as the customer and what data we should put there. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft Dynamics NAV an eight.

What other advice do I have?

If I was going to rate the solution in terms of global positive effectiveness, I would give it an eight out of ten. However, if I was going to rate it out of the sum of features and functionality, then I would rate it a four or five. Overall, I rate Microsoft Dynamics NAV a six out of ten.

What is our primary use case?

What other advice do I have?

My advice to those wanting to implement this solution is to train and educate their new developers and in-house staff about the solution. I rate Microsoft Dynamics NAV a ten out of ten.
