Has required ongoing support and modernization but effectively manages core operations and complex workflows
Microsoft Dynamics AX is a very strong ERP system, applicable for customizations to help companies and organizations streamline their processes. The specific feature I find most valuable about Microsoft Dynamics AX is the applicable permissions. There are many levels of security and permissions for each user to monitor and access specific data relative to their functions. Additionally, the linkage and transition between exploring and moving from window to window, from function to function is valuable. The impact of Microsoft Dynamics AX on managing financial processes is significant. It's a very important element for financial departments as it represents all transactions, references, and records. The adjustments and availability to create more than one virtual company allow large companies, which combined represent one group of companies, to connect and streamline their financials and operations.

"The system has enough controls, but still there is scope for improvement."
"Improvements could be made regarding user-friendliness and transitioning fully to a web version. Features like forex reconciliation and a cash flow planning module could enhance the solution."
"The UI has room for improvement and can be more user-friendly."
"The product needs improvement in procurement planning. It also needs to include a production scheduling feature."
"There is room for improvement in the licensing model and associated costs of this solution."
"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 no longer supported from a security perspective, so it is not getting updated."
"Where different programmers have been let loose the product has a number of view inconsistencies and there are still issues that were in 4."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten. Customizations can cost you extra money."

"It's too expensive for customers to take this on themselves. As partners, we will buy this on behalf of the customers and then charge this value for each project."
"Microsoft Dynamics AX is expensive."
"The product's license is expensive. My company is located in a region where we have to pay the most for the tool due to our currency and inflation scenario."
"Licensing is stable, and overall, the users are satisfied with it."
"One license costs $1,000."
"The platform's price offering is good."
"The price of the solution is high."
