Integration and flexibility deliver outstanding business experiences with innovative platforms enhancements
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.

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 fixed assets, payroll, the data module, and user-friendliness are most valuable."
"I haven't used it a lot, but the best thing is that the processes are very detailed."
"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 stability was reliable."
"It is strong in integration."
"Microsoft Dynamics GP has supported our compliance with industry regulations completely."
"The solution offers integrations with other software as well. We have integration with Microsoft Office where we can do Word and Excel, etc."
"The most valuable feature is financial control. The accounting aspect allows us to manage our clients and payments."
"Odoo is widespread in a lot of different industries, and the most powerful feature of Odoo in the manufacturing industry is the forecast."
"All modules in Odoo are integrated together, providing seamless transitions across various functionalities."
"It allows us to organize and improve portfolio management."
"I like the helpdesk module, and I like the simplicity of integration among their modules. All the modules are very well integrated, and you can move among the modules in an easy way."
"Odoo is a cost-effective tool for performing core ERP functions, such as inventory management. It's also good for manufacturing use cases."
"Odoo is flexible and serves us quite well. Its interface has improved."
"The most advantageous aspect is that with minimal customization, a company can be automated within a span of two to three months."
"Odoo's setup phase is easy."
 

Cons

"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."
"Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications."
"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."
"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."
"The purchase order and processing aspects of the solution should be improved."
"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."
"The user interface is not the best."
"The solution lacks local API support. Also, it lacks some database integration platforms. In short, it lacks an API integration platform."
"The tool needs to improve its scalability."
"They could add more features and details regarding the business details and some extra modules for business features."
"Odoo's automation and workflow design tools could be better. It has some limitations compared to other ERP solutions like SAP. You should have the option to design workflows in order using BPM diagrams and tools that make it more versatile in terms of adapting to any workflow through low code."
"Odoo's documentation needs improvement, as there are areas that are not well-documented."
"The most valuable feature of Odoo is the fingerprint feature."
"There is room for improvement in Odoo, especially in enhancing its reporting capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an affordable solution."
"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."
"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."
"​We evaluated some local products, because of the pricing, but this product has better features and support."
"Its pricing and licensing are high. Of course, we all know that it is Microsoft."
"For us, in our local currency, it costs us around 5 million Botswanan Pulas a year. It's quite a lot of money."
"Odoo is cheap compared to competitors."
"The cost is expensive but cheaper than some other competitors."
"The solution's licensing costs are low compared to its competitors."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one means high price, and ten means low price, I rate Odoo's pricing a five or six out of ten."
"I would rate this product on pricing as a six. If it is a SaaS solution, it is fixed. It is reasonably 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."
"The price of the solution depends on the use case. However, it can be expensive and we are paying annually."
"I would rate the price as a one out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
