Scaled up with a startup

It's positive, but ultimately we could get more out of the system, our implementation partner was poor, but with a better partner we are realising the benefit of the software.

Pros:

It is a scalable product. We started out with a team of 5 and now at a team of 60 worldwide, this product is ready and available to scale when you are.

Cons:

It requires someone with a developers background to get the most out of it, we were sold on it being a flexible system which it is, but only in the right hands.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

I has been using Dynamics for almost a year now, and i can say i an pleased. We use it to keep the records of flights times, arrival and departures, the amount of passengers in and out every day. But the one i like the most is to document what facilities we use for each flight. We have other use for it, like purchasing and invoicing department and others.

Cons:

If you are not very savvy at technology you may have some.hard times, but when you get used to it, you will be good to go. After you acquire the software you can not make more adjustments or personalize it without contacting the customer service.

Reasons for switching to Dynamics 365 Business Central

The company wanted to integrate few tools in just 1, as well standardized the tools each department was using.

A Let-Down for Microsoft

We had high hopes for Business Central transitioning off QuickBooks, but found BC to be pretty limited and difficult to use for the majority of our users. We find that normal functionality out of an ERP system often requires customizations in Business Central. We are overall disappointed with the product.

Functionality

Pros:

Being a Microsoft product has innate ease for sign-in and organizational management. I also like how there are many add-ins available as well. Beyond that, there aren't many things we like about the product.

Cons:

The reporting functionality is very limited, as it seems like any reporting that we need is custom functionality. I also don't like how BC isn't natively integrated with other Microsoft Dynamics products and requires third-party connector tools.

Reasons for switching to Dynamics 365 Business Central

We were hoping to get a more robust ERP system that could link directly to a CRM system (Dynamics 365).

Good finance solution for non-profits

Functionality

Pros:

Business Central provides all our needs as a small / medium sized non-profit, managing complex approval processes for purchase orders and invoices, and giving budget holders access to real time information.

Cons:

The setup of the approval processes can be complex (we worked with a partner to deliver the solution) and the licencing structure takes some work to ensure you're not overpaying - although the non-profit discounts are good.

Sage was an on prem solution - we wanted to move to a cloud based one, and have standardised on a Microsoft platform.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 is questionable

Very costly. It took a very long time and expensive too to convert a client from QBO to this program. Considering my experience is extensive in this field it took a very long time to learn this program.

Pros:

It supports a robust inventory. Has multiple functions

Cons:

Functions are not clear and not supported by accounting standards. It is difficult to navigate. Modules don't relate to accounting principles. Very convoluted. The support is costly. Support does not have accounting knowledge.

The client had a high level inventory that they felt QBO could not support.

Overall, D365 has been a great resource for our organization. As a Sales org, the ERP capabilities with D365 are exactly what we need. The trainings available are also incredibly helpful, especially with updates and when training new hires. While some of the customization impedes the efficiency of the platform, we've found ways to mitigate this while still having the system meet our needs.

Pros:

D365 is a great ERP packed full of features for mid-sized companies. We use the across all of our locations, including US and Canada. The support we receive from Microsoft is also amazing.

Cons:

D365 has a lot of capability, but we've found that when customizing too much, it can lead to lag with the platform. Recently, we've scaled back the customized features and have noticed an improvement in experience.
