Featured Reviews

Carlos  Cardona - PeerSpot reviewer
Operations Manager at Visual K
Powerful accounting functionality, easy to implement, and same day support response
There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible. In a future release, if they could add a CRM incorporated into the core of the solution that would be awesome. Additionally, a more flexible project model. They have a project model, but it's very challenging to set up values.
Osama Nabih - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Executive Officer at Easy Touch
Improved manufacturing processes have supported flexible dimensions and strong integrated workflows
I think the integration capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics AX need to be enhanced. There are many features for integration, such as APIs and connectors, but I need more ready APIs that link directly. I think it would be better to make APIs for each module in Microsoft Dynamics AX, so integration can be easier directly. For example, sales orders, sales quotations, and GL entries should each have direct APIs to facilitate linking to other systems, making the integration stronger. Real-time analytics is not strong unless I add a Power BI tool. In finance and operations, the new version of Microsoft Dynamics AX is very good, even excellent, but in previous versions, it needs to be linked to a Power BI tool to have strong real-time analytics. There is a gap for improvement in support. Microsoft support can be very hard to reach and often does not provide proper support for general issues, with responses sometimes being too detailed and not addressing the core issues quickly, which leads me to sometimes solve problems myself.
