Offers great integration capabilities and allows just the real-time inventory

Dynamics GP improves inventory management by offering real-time inventory tracking, and automated purchase order creation, receiving, and updating inventory levels. It facilitates site-to-site transfers and allocation tracking, enabling efficient stock management across locations. The integration capability of Dynamics GP, combined with Power Platform, has transformed our business processes. We now use PowerApps to enable salesmen to send orders electronically, eliminating the need for order books. Additionally, we developed HR apps to streamline tasks for our staff, leading to automated processes and improved efficiency. Our experience with Dynamics GP reporting and analytics features, particularly Advanced Analysis, has been great. We utilize customized smart lists for purchasing and other functions, allowing for tailored insights over specific periods. Additionally, we have developed custom dashboards for enhanced visibility and support portal integration. I wouldn't recommend Dynamics GP due to its legacy status and impending end of support. However, if integration with the Power Platform is crucial and the company prioritizes modernization, it could still be a viable option. For new companies, I would suggest considering Dynamics 365 Business Central for a more modern solution. Overall, I would rate Dynamics GP as a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature of this solution is it comes as a complete bundle. The solution has effective project, document, and application management. Additionally, the collaboration is fantastic, it is well integrated, and can be customized."

"Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing."

"The most valuable features are manufacturing, and manufacturing costing modules. These are all powerful features of Infor LN."

"It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management."

"It's not too hard to handle the initial setup."

"The best feature of this solution, is that it provides businesses with a way to see information from across different process streams, in one place via dashboards."

"Our clients appreciate the financial part of the solution, which is usually very complex. The Spanish localization is also very good."

"Infor LN is compatible with our company size and is cost-effective compared to other ERP solutions like SAP."

More Infor LN pros

"It's enhanced by a subscription billing add-on, to efficiently automate billing and invoicing, particularly due to our substantial customer database."

"The fixed assets, payroll, the data module, and user-friendliness are most valuable."

"The solution is easy to use."

"Microsoft Dynamics GP has strong out-of-the-box reporting capabilities, and its integration with Office 365, Power Apps, and Power Platform provides great additional benefits, helping deliver better experiences to employees and customers."

"The solution is easy to use and not complicated. Also, it is easy to get trained on. Also, there is good information available on the web. The GP community is quite broad and there are many blogs online."

"The most valuable feature is financial control. The accounting aspect allows us to manage our clients and payments."

"The solution offers integrations with other software as well. We have integration with Microsoft Office where we can do Word and Excel, etc."

"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."

More Microsoft Dynamics GP pros

Cons

"It's not that intuitive."

"From a customers' perspective, Infor LN covers most of the processes in the company, but sometimes, they have to choose other tools because of the functionality or the cost of the Infor solution. It covers the core functions of the company—such as financial, operations, logistics, and so on—very well, but it doesn't cover some parts such as invoices, digitization, etc."

"The interface can be difficult sometimes. I need to apply a bar code system, such as business intelligence and user interface tools. The user has to be a technician sometimes to use it."

"When it comes to planning, it's more challenging to consider the entire structure, such as having a specific SKU and wanting to look at the planning for the whole structure. You must delve into individual item details to plan for it with order planning. Therefore, improvements will allow more comprehensive planning for each SKU."

"One area that could be improved in Omada Access Points is team communication."

"Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."

"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."

"The user interface needs improvement."

More Infor LN cons

"It requires a lot of expertise to implement."

"Dynamics GP could be improved in terms of its usability and modernization."

"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."

"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."

"This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time."

"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."

"Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications."

"There should also be extra redundancy when posting to modules. We use different sets of books such as CashBook and CheckBooks therefore if I select the wrong one the solution allows the transaction to just pass without warning."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."

"Infor LN is a free solution, and everything is included in the package, such as add-ons."

"If you use Infor LN in Infor CloudSuite, there is a need to make an early payment for a license, which is approximately 2,500 EUR."

"The price of the solution can vary."

"The cost is somewhat high."

"The standard pricing is two thousand per year per user. There are no additional costs."

More Infor LN pricing and cost advice

"We evaluated some local products, because of the pricing, but this product has better features and support."

"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."

"In comparison to other ERP systems, the pricing is not necessarily inexpensive, but it can be considered more cost-effective."

"The solution's price is steep."

"For us, in our local currency, it costs us around 5 million Botswanan Pulas a year. It's quite a lot of money."
