Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Reviews

We use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central for office productivity.

From an end-user's perspective, it's really nice to have all the technologies consistent. The solution's integration between Teams, SharePoint, and Exchange Online is really helpful.

The solution's event management can be improved. If there are more than 3,000 people, the event quality decreases rapidly. That is something which can definitely be improved.

I have been using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central for three years.

I rate Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central an eight out of ten for stability.

The solution’s scalability is not a problem. Around 1,500 users are using the solution in our organization, and we have plans to increase the usage.

We previously used Cisco Webex.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

We use TerraForm code to deploy most of the things and normal site security configurations.

You have to pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution.

I would recommend the solution to other users because it is easy to set up, easy to use, and it has a very intuitive user experience.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central a nine out of ten.

We use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central as our platform for drafting and reading documents.

This is readily available and affordable, as well as user-friendly and simple to use in my opinion.

The stability could always be improved.

I work with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a stable solution.

I would rate the stability of the solution an eight out of ten.

There is always room for improvement. 

There are some tools that I am not able to use very efficiently.

It's not particularly scalable. In my opinion, when attempting to expand usage to a larger number of individuals, it becomes more complicated.

We have approximately eight users.

I have never contacted technical support.

Previously, we used Gmail.

We made the switch because it was a more convenient option. Additionally, many other companies like ours, including SMEs, also use Microsoft. We became aware of this and decided to adopt it as well.

In my opinion, the initial setup is straightforward.

The deployment process was incredibly fast, taking only two minutes to complete.

I was able to complete the deployment myself.

The process is very straightforward and widely used. If I encounter any issues or have questions, I can easily find solutions by searching on Google.

I have computed the return on investment, but since Microsoft is essential software that we are required to use, I didn't factor in a significant return on investment.

Regarding professional accounts, we have the option to purchase six accounts at a relatively low cost.

We are required to pay licensing fees, and when it came time to renew our license, we opted for a five-year subscription.

In my opinion, the fees are reasonable.

I would rate Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central an eight out of ten.

We are using the E5 license. So everything across the E5.

The security feature, particularly the encryption, which still builds sensitivity, is one of the most valuable features. 

There is room for improvement in terms of compatibility. Compatibility with Mac is not there. Many functionalities are visible on the Windows version that are missing on the Mac.

We have been using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central for one year. So it's the most efficient version we get.

It is a stable solution. 

It is a scalable solution. There are around 50 to 100 users in our organization. We plan to increase the usage with time. 

The initial setup is straightforward. But it takes time based on need because we are growing too. So it's not like we fully set up at once.

Five to ten technical staff members are enough for the integration and maintenance. 

You need to pay for a license, but the monthly cash flow option is affordable.

I would recommend the solution. Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

We use the solution for our inventory management.

The solution has helped streamline our orders so we can receive the order, and track the delivery in one solution.

The selling feature is the most valuable.

The reporting tool has room for improvement.

I would like to have automatic information input to avoid manual entries in a future release.

I am currently using the solution.

I give the stability a six out of ten. We had a bug that required a third party to fix the issue.

I give the scalability a five out of ten with our current version which does not support further scaling.

We have 50 people using the solution in our organization.

Technical support sometimes takes longer to resolve the issue.

Neutral

I give the initial setup a seven out of ten. We had some difficulty when setting up the solution. The deployment took one year to complete.

The implementation was completed by a third party.

I give the solution a seven out of ten for pricing. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is cheaper than some others. In addition to the license, we pay for third-party support.

I give the solution a seven out of ten. The solution does not meet all our requirements and does not support advanced features.

We are using almost all the facilities which Microsoft 365 offers, like SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and normal email.

The tool runs all the areas of our organization. We were using a normal standalone before that, but it is better now. We can see that Microsoft Teams is giving us more services. We were able to conduct meetings on it during the pandemic. Working from home turned out to be good for us.

Right now, we don’t have any issues. We had some network issues happening before. Sometimes we face problems with security.

I think they should make it more secure with signature security, zero-trust, or something else. It will be even better for us as we get some phishing mail from a phishing server.

We have been using Microsoft 365 for around a year.

We are in a remote area where there is some network issue. The remaining aspects are all good. So from the office side, we can give it a ten out of ten.

Around 300 people in our organization use Microsoft 365.

We didn't face any issues from that side. We are still in contact with a local vendor. When the issue comes, we get instant support from them.

We were using a standalone. We are getting more features after switching to Microsoft 365.

It's simple. We were using a standalone. We switched it with the login and didn't have a hard time with that one.

We have one consultant, but right now the contract is going to finish.

We do recommend the product. If the network issue gets to a normal level, we can rate it around an eight out of ten.

We use all the Office tools that come with 365. I don't know how many people use it here or what kind of deal we have, but we're a large enterprise.

Microsoft Dynamic 365 has everything we need, like Teams, Outlook, Excel, etc. I do a lot of data visualization, so I work a lot with Power BI. I bring in tables from Oracle and use Power Bi to manipulate and visualize the data. I handle all the stats and track everything that goes in and out of the company. We use all the modules, but I work primarily with Power BI, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams. They are all equally important and work together.

The formulas in Power BI could be simpler. Sometimes, it's difficult to figure them out, but I am part of a lot of communities that work with us, so we help each other.

We began using 365 at my company about a year ago.

I rate it eight out of 10 for scalability. We just got it, and we're still working through it. I don't know what's missing at the moment. 

I rate Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 10 out of 10. I love 365 and recommend it to others. 

Our company is a partner with Microsoft and we sell the solution to customers. 

The Power Apps are very good for developers. 

The solution's integrations and interface are very good. Many options are included such as different IPs, APIS, and Azure SQL Database. You can interface with handheld machines and other products. This makes things easy on developers and saves time.

The dashboard very user friendly and the best we have seen in ERPs. You can see KPS, sales, and customers in a virtual front desk. With one click you see what you need because Power AI sends everything to the dashboard. 

Information changed in Excel or another integrated tool automatically pushes to the solution. 

The solution could include the retail tool in the native version. Currently, it is sold as a separate product.

I have been using the solution for two years. 

The solution is the most stable business ERP available. Changes in development, processes, and integrated apps does not affect the stability. 

The solution is scalable. 

Technical support is good and there are three levels available. For level one, customers work with support directly to resolve issues. For level two, we step in to assist customers. For level three, we determine an error or issue is difficult and call Microsoft directly for assistance. 

The setup and implementation are good. Implementations take a bit of time because clients define the process and they sometimes struggle with that. Mexico also has some different laws and tropical-sized invoices so the process takes time. 

It takes about four months to fully deploy which is a short time in comparison to other ERPs that could take eight months to a year. 

I rate setup a nine out of ten. 

We implement the solution for clients. 

At the start, we have three to five consultants on the team. One or two consultants join the team to cross-implement to call centers. 

It will take at least six months from the up-front investment to start to realize ROI. It really depends on the customer's environment and how much they automate through the solution with regard to inventory, products, and sales. 

The per user price of $100 a month is better than competitors.

Much of an ERPs cost is in the implementation. The solution takes less time to implement than competitors so that saves on costs. 

For example, the solution takes about five months to implement but a competitor tool might take eight months to a year. That doubles your cost. 

The solution is a good, smaller sized ERP but its reach is big. It is not expensive like Oracle Business Suite. The price is good for the client and the per-month price is good for users. The solution includes tools for manufacturing, retail, finance, and warehouse. 

The solution's biggest competition is Oracle Business Suite which is more expensive and uses products unfamiliar to the typical Office user. 

The solution is easy to use. The user experience is similar to other Microsoft products like Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Power AI. It is much easier to use than Oracle which has different products and uses colors. 

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

I am impressed with the tool's user authentication, compatibility , and policies. 

The tool needs to work on reporting issues and user interface. 

I am using the solution for two years. 

The product is stable. 

The solution is scalable. We have two customers for the solution. 

The tool's setup is straightforward. The solution's deployment took about two weeks to complete. 

We did the tool's deployment in-house. 

We have an agreement with Microsoft and pricing is okay for us.

I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.
