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.

The amazing, robust framework with unlimited scalability earns its #1 status

The solution is not ready for the current e-commerce environment. Its was built for large enterprises who need to predictably optimize their human, material, and financial resources. ERP has evolved and businesses are changing. There are not many large corporations. Most are small enterprises with the capabilities of large enterprises through networking and platform integration. Some companies promote products but get things done with other enterprises as a network. Companies do not want to create new capacity but want to leverage existing capacity with innovative products. They do not want to spend resources on duplicating capacity or facilities. I do not think any ERP product is ready to support this environment so ERPs as a whole might end up being used for back-office functions only. It is not easy to evolve an ERP product because its intent is to integrate functions and processes within an organization. Whereas, in the new business model, processes are not limited to one's own enterprise but cut across different enterprises. There is no enterprise solution as this point in time for the current e-commerce environment so companies must integrate with many solutions.

More Infor LN pros

"Microsoft Dynamics GP has supported our compliance with industry regulations completely."

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

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

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

"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily update and maintain accurate data across all aspects of our operations."

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

More Microsoft Dynamics GP pros

Cons

"The price is challenging in the market."

"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 tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."

"The user interface needs improvement. They should add more automation to reduce the number of clicks per operation."

"The user interface needs improvement."

"Infor LN has customer support in India, but service could be improved. So, basically, they prioritize agreements, and the number of tickets closed within a certain timeframe, not necessarily the quality or resolution of the tickets themselves. They just open and close them, sometimes without even understanding the issue. That's the biggest problem."

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

"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."

More Infor LN cons

"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."

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

"The purchase order and processing aspects of the solution should be improved."

"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."

"It requires a lot of expertise to implement."

"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."

"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."

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

More Microsoft Dynamics GP cons

"Poor ergonomics."

"Their support should be improved. Instead of giving a general solution, their consultants should first try to understand the problem and then resolve the same. They should properly investigate the issue before providing the solution."

"SAP ERP is scalable. We have some five to ten thousand SAP ERP users."

"The initial setup was challenging initially. People did not understand much about what SAP could do."

"Presently, the solution's interface is not intuitive."

"ERP could use better integration with other systems."

"SAP ERP needs to be more innovative when it comes to areas like mobility and the internet."

"SAP ERP was not very user-friendly."

More SAP ERP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other high-end ERP software, Infor LN's cost of ownership is lower. The difference isn't huge, though."

"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 tool’s AMC and support are given on a yearly basis. You need to make monthly payments for support."

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

"The cost is somewhat high."

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

"The price of the solution can vary."

"I would say that Infor's pricing is competitive compared to other ERP solutions available in the market, such as SAP and Oracle."

More Infor LN pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"It is an affordable solution."

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

"Its pricing and licensing are high. Of course, we all know that it is Microsoft."

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

"The solution's price is steep."

"I think the tool is competitively priced and it's more of a one-time investment with a low annual renewal fee."

"There is a license needed to use this solution."

"I don't know the price, but I know its licensing is on a yearly basis."

"The product has high pricing."

"SAP ERP is an expensive tool."

"We pay annually for the use of this solution."

"The licensing costs are slightly on the higher side. They need to make it more competitive."

"The solution can cost approximately $1 million a year for maintenance for a small-size company and can grow from there. Approximately $1 million is needed for a good-size company."

"The solution has moved from a licensing model to a rights-based, subscription model in the cloud."
