Senior Engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees

Tracking orders is easy and it is intuitive. Sometimes when the load gets too much, it's a little slow.

It has a very good user interface. It makes my life easy, because I am from the quality testing team, so it's easy for me to track any order. Since I am from Target, I need to track orders; tracking is very easy through the IBM Order Management System. It is extremely intuitive.

ERP Administrator at CACC Cargolinx

Has supported financial operations effectively but reporting and dimension features need improvement

Microsoft Dynamics is my comfort zone in the application in the finance module. I am familiar with analytics features such as Microsoft Power BI. Regarding sales forecasting, we mainly use Power BI in our analysis for sales, not the application reports. It's a limitation only in the reporting because Microsoft Power BI is excellent for creating reports or customizing dashboards; Microsoft Dynamics focuses on functions, not reporting. In Egypt, we haven't used the AI features yet, so it's too soon to judge this feature. The pricing structure is clearly defined, but it's just too expensive. So far, there are no specific issues regarding the cloud. Even with businesses in sectors that can afford it, retail solutions in Microsoft Dynamics are not as strong compared to LS Business Central. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Microsoft Dynamics a 7 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Out of the customer relationship tools that I have used, I feel OMS has more capabilities."

"There are lot of features which are the best but to point to a couple, the Global Inventory Visibility and Sourcing and Scheduling."

"I give the scalability of the solution a nine out of ten."

"AX is fully integrated between modules, reduces time, gives perfect control for inventory costs and it is very easy to use by users."

"The modular approach to how Microsoft Dynamics is being deployed is what drove us to use it. You find that an organization would have, for example, only finance and HR, but in the future, they want to scale up the supply chain. They will later want to add procurement. The modular aspect is what was beneficial to us and influenced our decision to use Dynamics 365 on the cloud."

"It has ability to control the management of all processes in the company, allowing good communication throughout entire departments."

Cons

"Maybe the performance needs to improve. Sometimes when the load gets too much, it's a little slow."

"The technical support and timely update on the PMRs needs to be improved."

"Customer service needs improvement."

"There should have been a way where customer support is supported. This would ensure that the users can more easily find errors while dealing with their software activities."

"The initial setup of Microsoft Dynamics requires some expertise. The process is not user-friendly for beginners. If you know your way around Microsoft Dynamics, it's something you'd find intermediate. It's not easy but not difficult."

"The current report is too broad and generalized to meet the needs of customers who require more detailed information."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"There is a license required to use this solution. The prices can vary, depending on your setup and the number of users you have."

"The software is a bit expensive and some startup companies will be unable to use it despite its effective usage in management. This should be catered for and looked upon since it greatly affects some users who want to use the tool."

"The cost of Dynamics NAV is a bit expensive. Most service packs cost thousands of dollars. However, it is a good software for managing your business activities and gives good results."

"I give the cost a two out of ten because it is an expensive solution."
