The sales and distribution modules are robust, and reliable, and seldom encounter issues
In GP, there are certain features like financial reporting that aren't part of the core GP package. Users might need to install additional components for these features. For example, there's a reseller product called Management Reporter, but many users would prefer to have the reporting capabilities integrated within GP itself, rather than relying on external tools. The manufacturing module in GP is quite basic, and those who require more advanced manufacturing capabilities often turn to third-party modules or tools. Additionally, you might be aware that in 2028, GP is expected to reach its end of life. Microsoft has already ceased selling GP to new customers. It's essentially the same product, but this marks the final year for GP's availability.

AI automation saves time and simplifies financial processes
The data entry process is very time-consuming. Without using options like ODA, manually entering data in the GLS screen or Oracle invoices is a time-consuming job. The screens could be improved, as a lot of mouse clicks are required, and multiple fields need to be entered. Although it has a workaround with spreadsheets, the screen interface could be better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Dynamics AX provides a lot of functionality."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics AX are ease of use and performance."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics AX is customization."
"Dynamics AX is very simple to use."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics AX is material planning."
"The product's most valuable features are its day-to-day operations, Power BI-driven workspaces, and homepage."
"I am impressed with the tool's vendor collaboration. It is also easy to connect with third-party applications."
"Unlike traditional ERPs, where adding a column is customization, personalization is in the tool. OTBI is built-in, providing many pre-delivered reports and dashboards. It's cloud-based, so it's OpEx instead of CapEx. Oracle Integration Cloud Services offers pre-delivered APIs for easy integration with systems like payroll and Salesforce."
"I find that the overall framework and database structure is quite comprehensive."
"The solution is highly configurable"
"I find the most valuable feature for the solution to be the company is always evolving by making the product better with continual updates."
"The scalability is very good."
"It fosters adoption of a shared services center model."
"Oracle has proprietary cloud technology and provides high levels of technology and security."
"The solution is user-friendly with a good integration layer."
 

Cons

"The product needs better admin control. There is room for improvement in flexibility, reporting, and dashboards. Artificial intelligence should be incorporated. I have concerns regarding partners, specifically in the implementation and deployment of Microsoft Dynamics."
"It is being decommissioned."
"The integration could improve for the future."
"Microsoft could provide more flexible hardware requirements that can scale with the volume of data being processed rather than providing only a minimum requirement."
"There is no Arabic interface in Microsoft Business Central, which is a big weak point."
"Change management could be better."
"The product needs improvement in procurement planning. It also needs to include a production scheduling feature."
"Microsoft Dynamics AX can improve by having a more modern user interface. It should be more modular and dynamic. Additionally, the solution could be easier to connect with APIs with other technologies."
"There are two main areas for improvement. First, the licensing and pricing model confuses customers, especially after going live. Different components like EPM, ERP, and OIC are charged differently. Second, the manufacturing functionality needs more maturity, especially for non-process-based manufacturing. We've raised this with Oracle, and they've acknowledged it. They might address it in future patches."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"The solution should implement improvements with AI technology. Specifically, in the realm of ERP tools, this can be particularly beneficial, not only for cloud-based systems but for all types of tools. Additionally, a highly desirable feature is the ability to work offline."
"I would like to see an improved approach to pulling data with VDI."
"The interface could be improved in future releases."
"One disadvantage is that we don't have immediate access to evaluate or fix data that is not in the app until we own the database."
"The data entry process is very time-consuming."
"The data entry process is very time-consuming."
