Offers great integration capabilities and allows just the real-time inventory

Dynamics GP improves inventory management by offering real-time inventory tracking, and automated purchase order creation, receiving, and updating inventory levels. It facilitates site-to-site transfers and allocation tracking, enabling efficient stock management across locations. The integration capability of Dynamics GP, combined with Power Platform, has transformed our business processes. We now use PowerApps to enable salesmen to send orders electronically, eliminating the need for order books. Additionally, we developed HR apps to streamline tasks for our staff, leading to automated processes and improved efficiency. Our experience with Dynamics GP reporting and analytics features, particularly Advanced Analysis, has been great. We utilize customized smart lists for purchasing and other functions, allowing for tailored insights over specific periods. Additionally, we have developed custom dashboards for enhanced visibility and support portal integration. I wouldn't recommend Dynamics GP due to its legacy status and impending end of support. However, if integration with the Power Platform is crucial and the company prioritizes modernization, it could still be a viable option. For new companies, I would suggest considering Dynamics 365 Business Central for a more modern solution. Overall, I would rate Dynamics GP as a seven out of ten.

Integration across functionalities has streamlined business operations and improved cost efficiency

Odoo's documentation needs improvement, as there are areas that are not well-documented. Additionally, some underlying technologies need refactoring to more modern structures. Although it's not immediately necessary since the system works, changes to the architecture would be beneficial. From the transition from version 17 to 18, it appears they are aware and have begun addressing some of these concerns.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily update and maintain accurate data across all aspects of our operations."

"It's enhanced by a subscription billing add-on, to efficiently automate billing and invoicing, particularly due to our substantial customer database."

"Snowflake's ability to handle large queries efficiently is very beneficial, unlike other databases which can take a significant amount of time for similar tasks."

"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."

"The solution is easy to use."

"The system is easy to customize and has user-friendly access. "

"Microsoft Dynamics GP has strong out-of-the-box reporting capabilities, and its integration with Office 365, Power Apps, and Power Platform provides great additional benefits, helping deliver better experiences to employees and customers."

"It is strong in integration."

More Microsoft Dynamics GP pros

"Odoo is a cost-effective tool for performing core ERP functions, such as inventory management. It's also good for manufacturing use cases."

"With Odoo, being open source is advantageous because we have access to the source code for whatever we develop. This gives us the flexibility to make additions, deletions, or modifications according to our needs without any restrictions. There are no predefined formats that limit our customization options."

"I find the financial module, along with the integrations of projects and the HR human resource module, to be the most valuable aspects of Odoo."

"Odoo is open source, so we can develop it and adjust it to our requirements. It's easy to work with."

"It's convenient that we have an all-in-one holistic solution."

"The most advantageous aspect is that with minimal customization, a company can be automated within a span of two to three months."

"The product is stable...The product is scalable."

More Odoo pros

Cons

"The issue we're encountering is that it's primarily designed for independent installations and not initially structured as a cloud-based solution, which has led to challenges with connectivity."

"This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time."

"At times, navigating the user console can be challenging, particularly when trying to find account information."

"Many of our customers are migrating to the cloud rather than staying on-premises."

"The biggest problem with GP is that it's not cloud based and it doesn't lend itself to subscription licensing. But Microsoft wants everything in the cloud and licensed on a subscription basis.Even tThough GP can be deployed on a cloud server, but basically, it's a Windows based product. It uses the older model and companies purchase the program and pay a 16-18 sixteen- eighteen percent annual renewal fee but Microsoft wants everybody to pay monthly or annual renewal fees on a subscription basis."

"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."

"It requires a lot of expertise to implement."

"As technology changes, I would say probably in the area of chart up account needs improvement because chart up account is a string. So if they make it more flexible."

More Microsoft Dynamics GP cons

"The sales model is not the best, and it lacks certain features."

"Odoo could improve its newsletters and social media campaign features, which currently feel a bit weak."

"It has been difficult to adapt to continuous changes, you have to understand what is new and what is changing in less than twelve months. You can take advantage of the new features, but you have to research them to be able to implement them."

"There is a lack of resources for specialized Odoo professionals."

"The solution's reporting could be improved."

"I'm uncertain because each year they release a new version with improvements. However, one area that needs significant enhancement is the website, particularly the modern core website. While there's an approach similar to WordPress, it is quite basic at the moment. Besides that, particularly with the POS solutions, we identified potential security issues. This is due to the storage of information on cookies or similar sessions. In cases of Internet-related issues, there's a vulnerability where data might be compromised. The system uses temporary storage until the internet connection is restored, and then it pushes the data to the server or database. This poses a risk, especially in point-of-sale systems, where there could be vulnerabilities for data modification or alteration by unauthorized individuals."

"Odoo lacks a complete dashboard, and the reports are basic. The reporting could be improved by adding some graphics."

"The reporting and the interface could definitely be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Its pricing and licensing are high. Of course, we all know that it is Microsoft."

"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."

"The solution's price is steep."

"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."

"The pricing is quite affordable, especially when compared to other products, making it a cost-effective choice."

"I would rate the price as a one out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."

"Its pricing is well-received in Latin America. They sell by the user. In October 2022, they changed the way they sell Odoo. They commercialized Odoo. They now sell by the user. The cost of a user is $13.5 five per month for Latin America, which is lower than other ERPs."

"I would rate this product on pricing as a six. If it is a SaaS solution, it is fixed. It is reasonably expensive."

"The cost is expensive but cheaper than some other competitors."

"They offer three packages – free, standard, and custom."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Odoo's pricing a six out of ten."

"Currently, we pay around 5000-6,000 USD per month, though I am not sure. We have to pay additionally for maintenance and support."
