    Dynamics NAV is perfect in tracking the overall organization stock, but it is not reliable as it seem to have a specific implementation strategy.

    Pros

    I liked the ability of Dynamics NAV to track stocks across the organization. Again, it is flexible to build product range that suits the company.

    Cons

    Poor performance and too many workarounds that are required to match products to the specific requirement.

    Pros

    It works fairly well, we are however a manufacturing company and this is made for product on the shelf. It provides all the information that I need.

    Cons

    At times I feel that I need to look in several spots to find the information that I need. I use the Query button the most so that I am not missing information.

    I like Microsoft Dynamics NAV since it is easy to install and set-up. Microsoft Dynamics NAV is the best tool for any growing business since it has all the features for the capabilities of sales and marketing tracking.

    Cons

    Although this is the best software for financial obligations, it is not free to get a genuine version. It would be much better if they would reduce the total cost.

    Everything with this system is so wonderful. Like stock inventory, quotations, invoicing, Credit notes

    Cons

    The only thing that isn't so superb with this system is that it needs someone skilled to train others. You cannot teach it yourself

    I have used the software for almost 9 months, and have found it to be very user friendly, with excellent presentation. It is normally quick, software does not crash often and it works well for many different type of industries.

    Pros

    Very user friendly
    Good presentation
    Excellent layout - easy to search for whatever you need
    Good use of headings and sub-headings
    Being able to import from Excel, and transfer any journals into Excel easily

    Cons

    Maybe not the best for reporting purposes, or hard to find a way straight away
    Could be a more efficient way to import transactions from Excel

    Pros

    It is very easy to follow and has got a lot of features to offer, but they are to be added based on the companys needs

    Cons

    if you have inhouse IT specialist then this isnt a problem but if you need to source externally it may take a while to have new features set up and you only understand what you need additionally once you really understand the software.

    Microsoft NAV is easy to use and navigate, performs well and being in HR the functions I need are easy to get to

    Cons

    Not sure if this is a function selected in the implementation process but the only part I don't like is that payroll does not have access to the employee profiles and only HR can update their information

    Looks ok but does not do half the things that other systems can do, the sales man lied very well in the sales pitch

    Cons

    The product is set up for accounting and does not work properly in a production environment, traceabilty is very poor, work orders are unbelievable bad, the MPS and MRP does not work in a lean environment.
    I would strongly recommend anyone to stay away from this software.

    Avoid this one.

    Pros

    This product was relatively inexpensive for an enterprise... Migrations to newer versions were problematic and ended up requiring developer support.

    Cons

    Upgrades always broke things. Need a dev to add new fields. Not an intuitive application. Support for it from MS is non-existent.

    Pros

    Cons

    Everything has to be entered exactly correct or items will not ship. It is overwhelming and overly complicated. Impossible for those not experienced in computers.

    Hopefully it works better than the setup for access to training

    Pros

    We haven't even been able to access the software yet, we are stuck trying to get into the training videos. I have heard great things.....but so far very dissapointed

    Cons

    the service provider is directing our users to gain access through the software company, who keeps sending us instructions that are not working. Simply put, our accounts are registered but they will/can not provide our usernames with passwords....worked with many different companies and nothing has been this difficult before

    Pros

    I've evaluated NAV for other roles and now I have been using the product I am convinced that it is a very powerful product when configured correctly. It has options for many roles and the ability to configure the system exists but is limited by design.

    Cons

    Very high cost support and difficult nature of upgrades is a real turn off. Each version upgrade is treated as a new deployment. Lacks the ability to make even the most basic changes without partner assistance or developer licence. While the product has a lot of potential I would be reluctant to upgrade an old version as I feel there are other products out there which can do the same job with a much more reasonable price tag.

    Value for money is the main reason I have marked this application down.

    It's easy to run reports, since all the information you may need is in the software and its easily to customize it.

    Pros

    We use it for all our accounting process, to generate invoices, customer's database, and sales report. It's easy to use, you'll be able to customize the info you want to have it on hand.

    Cons

    Some times it can run slowly, if there are too many process at once. It will take a lot of practice to fully manage this software.

    Accounting, G/L/ Receivables. Fairly straightforward and easy to use. Use from time it was GP 10. Standard reports were easy to use.


    Cons

    Glitches from time to time, we only had a certain amount of users accounts purchased and at times had more people trying to use so couldn't log in, but that isnt a software con. Just a con that you have to purchase a number of users.

    Keeps all our business data in one spot. Very easy for everyone do to their own paperwork.

    Attach PDF's of invoices, PO's right to the entry. Keeps all ERP data in one spot. Can work from any device. All of our guys can work in the field and we have yet to hire an administrator.

    Cons

    Report creation requires a developer to help set up. Support costs can be high if you don't have a computer savvy person in your company.
