Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."I like that all of the student information is in one place."
"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."
"It is strong in integration."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The stability was reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily update and maintain accurate data across all aspects of our operations."
"The system is easy to customize and has user-friendly access. "
"I haven't used it a lot, but the best thing is that the processes are very detailed."
"The solution offers integrations with other software as well. We have integration with Microsoft Office where we can do Word and Excel, etc."
"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications."
"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."
"With payroll, the payroll that they have offers US or Canadian tax. However, here, our tax payments are different from the US and Canada. It is very difficult to put in our tax tables. We need some customization. It should be readily available for any country to use according to their tax implications. The system should know different types of tax regimes around the world so that it can accommodate. It's a little bit rigid on that."
"Dynamics GP could be improved in terms of its usability and modernization."
"It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. "
"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."
"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."
"This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time."
