Centage provides strong customer service and the product has been terrific value for our organization.

User friendly interface and reports. Good drill down to get to source documents.

Difficult to set up for the first time. Very limited when you have to export to Excel because all data is exported as text format.

I love the analytics maestro, and this software is a good fit for SMEs.

When Planning Maestro came out, we had the option then to move to something else but we stayed with Centage as PM is a solid budgeting and planning tool. It has good functionality and good support.

Budget Maestro was recommended to us by Syspro. It works well and enhances our ERP system and provides greater reporting capability.

Not sure as we have not researched lately other options.

My only complaint is the amount of formatting I have to do when exporting a report to a spreadsheet.

Our budget is now more secure and robust, and due to the product's user friendliness it was fairly easy and quick to set up.

The product provided a very friendly user interface that was easy to navigate - even for people who did not receive formal training. The reports were clean and easy to follow.

I do like the preview of the expense and how it will look like on the P&L. It really helps me make sure that my spread method is correct.

I love the way this product is so easy to use and track all of my spending. I don't know what I would do without it.

Ease of use is super important. Reporting is good and I love the dump into Excel for more slicing and to import.

We greatly appreciate the flexibility Budget Maestro offers our nimble team to make changes on the fly and seamlessly integrate with our ERP system to ensure financial data is accurate and up to date.

Too business support management even when someone lacks with a bit in attention to detail allowing for easy corrections and edits.

We have been using the software for about 7 years  and it has been extremely helpful for our reporting.

Their support team is always available to help you through any questions or difficulties you encounter.

I like the ease of use and the ability to eliminate my dependence on Excel.

Overall it has been widely accepted within our organization and has helped improve the efficiency and accuracy of our budget process at DEA.

Participate in any demos the software company provides of its software then get them to show you how their software would handle your situation, your unique or most difficult budgeting issue.

It takes anywhere from 1-3 minutes to run any report. Also, the inability to create a version and it to show up in all plans.

Also impressive is their what-if scenarios, the robust capabilities of their driver functionality, and Analytics Maestro (their Excel plug-in for user friendly desktop reporting).

I would recommend budget maestro to other organizations as a useful budgeting tool.

Good integration with many ERP and account systems. Accessible anywhere through an internet connection with any browser-based device.

They are only interested in selling the Numbers of Licenses. No monitoring from Microsoft even on cheating cases disputed cases by their Chanel partners.

I have enjoyed working with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business central ,it's easy to use and  the APIs which have made it easier to customize it with our needs.

My experience has been very good, I think that you must consider this option and better if you're on a Microsoft environment.

I use it daily to send invoices, correct price errors, correct PO numbers.

Once again, if you buy this product you a damning your co workers to years of mental anguish and some might genuinely start hating their job so much that they quit.

It is great to have and keep our customer's database updated.

I appreciate the ability to put notes on each quote, order, and invoice.

NB the products were acquired by taking over other companies and them re-badging to look alike - Nb the integration is poor.

It is good and i recommend it for automated daily media buying activities.

It's frustrating trying to navigate the tool, it's counterintuitive to use. There's no feature to import from Excel.

That NAV is customize able but at an extremely high cost to you. Microsoft is little to no help with subscription issues and questionable subscriptions.

Seamless integration with Microsoft's Flow, PowerApps, Outlook, etc work very well.

Pretty easy to navigate, but the screen formatting needs adjusted.

ClickDimensions as a marketing tool is hard to navigate.

Our asset management is now on point. The human resource management especially the payroll management bit is awesome.

I found it to be more thorough than Quickbooks. Very easy to do journal entries across multiple companies and reconcile every month.

The usual error came in this product is table lock.

Our employees love the clean and self explaining GUI of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 which integrates into the Microsoft world perfectly.

Great flexibility combined with easily projectable cost.

Some of the features as well are a bit complicated and irritating to use. There are also some times where it lags and is a bit slow which makes it really irritating.

Still a great solution for dynamic job management.

Here are some of the specific benefits I've experienced since using Dynamics 365:• Greater productivity and profitablity• Improved forecasting and analysis• Effective monitoring of inputs and outputs.

The program is very easy to learn and use for sales team, customer service team, accountants and warehouse team.

We can provide better customer service because everybody finds their needed information faster and more secure. That is a big advantage for all.

As a technical consultant, who installs and implements Microsoft Dynamics Business Central I find the integrations with all Microsoft's Azure applications a big plus.

Var and global dimensions etc. In 2007 I joined Gulf Capital KSA the company management recommended NAV at that time tec.

I completely like how it's handles Financial Management with great charts of Accounts. The reporting is very accurate and timely with decision making.

Together, it's a great solution, allows us to manage all aspects from accounting to leasing to reporting. We use it on a subscription base.

Microsoft has always been a great service that our company enjoys using. This service continues to strengthen the brand of Microsoft.

Software times you out after a few minutes and does not autosave. Information fields do no flow properly between functions.

There were some cool features like the filter capabilities. The dashboard was customizable which was nice.

I liked that the software was user friendly and easy to get trained on.

The software is very easy to use and intuitive. I use on a daily basis, and pulling reports is great.

A great tool for everyday accounting processes: reports, invoices, and managing different outlets within the company.

Ridiculously expensive and not even close to what any other software company charges for basic accounting.
