Scale is a primary concern. If the product vision continues to serve small and mid-cap companies, they need to continue incorporating features into the out-of-the-box solution because small-caps typically lack budget for in-house IT organizations to customize and maintain systems. If they want to expand beyond mid-cap and enter the large-cap market, they need to consider balance and provide more customizability. This includes extending process flows through more APIs and building a more modular architecture with granular backend exposed via API. The process layer should allow clients to customize while invoking back-office APIs. The general perception positions Microsoft Dynamics GP in the middle of the market. Systems such as NetSuite and ServiceNow occupy the lower category, providing narrow use cases. Microsoft Dynamics GP offers more breadth and out-of-the-box capabilities at a slightly higher price point. At the top end, SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce offer extensive customizability at a premium price, suitable for large organizations with multiple transactions and customers. Microsoft Dynamics GP currently occupies a favorable position in the middle segment with limited competition.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is an affordable ERP system and rich in functionality, providing good control of processes."
"The three most crucial pieces are the financial modules, the banking module, and the management module."
"I have found the solution has many valuable features such as a user-friendly mobile platform, notification settings, and the ability to do many customizations."
"The tool's usability is straightforward."
"The system is easy to customize and has user-friendly access. ​"
"For a bigger environment, this is the best product to go with for an in-house support team."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily update and maintain accurate data across all aspects of our operations."
"We have gained the capability to control and address various issues within the financial module effectively."
"It is a tried and tested ERP system which if used correctly, is definitely a very good program for managing all aspects of a business from customer sales, and receivables management, to payable management and finance reporting. So, it's super critical for any mid-sized company."
"User-friendly: A key factor for a financial application Helps my company a lot"
"It helps to streamline and automate their accounting processes."
"Customer service is very good and technical support is very good."
 

Cons

"The system has enough controls, but still there is scope for improvement."
"Improvements could be made regarding user-friendliness and transitioning fully to a web version. Features like forex reconciliation and a cash flow planning module could enhance the solution."
"The reporting Module should be improved and a drag and drop functionality should be added."
"The build-in dashboard and reporting customization should be improved."
"The purchase order and processing aspects of the solution should be improved."
"Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications."
"What could be improved is the functionality of Dynamics GP because it requires a lot of development by the programmers and the company in order to integrate into a solution."
"Dynamics GP could be improved in terms of its usability and modernization."
"It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. ​"
"As for room for improvement, they have different modules, project and analytical accounting, but it will be good to have that kind of part in the standard package. To have that additional reporting functionality where you can add an attribute or something, which you can report again. So you can analyze the cost by not just natural accounts but also by a project, without having to go through another module edit on top and then the other module edit on top. The more modules you add, sometimes it doesn't work that well. Additionally, it would be easier to have the solution on the cloud. That's our consideration. We are trying to move all our systems to the cloud, and GP is one of them that we are going to move in the next couple of years. I would rate the solution seven or seven point five out of ten."
"With the exception of the great deal of work we put into customizing the system for our inventory needs, the only suggestion for improvement would be to simplify even further the administration and customization side of things."
"There should also be extra redundancy when posting to modules. We use different sets of books such as CashBook and CheckBooks therefore if I select the wrong one the solution allows the transaction to just pass without warning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is moderately priced. The licensing cost is around sixty thousand USD for annual maintenance. If you're using an application-specific license, it is a little cheaper. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten. Customizations can cost you extra money."
"The price of the solution is fair compared to competitors."
"The solution's price is steep."
"Its pricing and licensing are high. Of course, we all know that it is Microsoft."
"​We evaluated some local products, because of the pricing, but this product has better features and support."
"It is an affordable solution."
"For us, in our local currency, it costs us around 5 million Botswanan Pulas a year. It's quite a lot of money."
"I think the tool is competitively priced and it's more of a one-time investment with a low annual renewal fee."
"In comparison to other ERP systems, the pricing is not necessarily inexpensive, but it can be considered more cost-effective."
"I would say that the pricing is moderate, not cheap, and not expensive. There are many more expensive ERPs than GP, and there are less expensive as well, so it is moderately priced."
