Allows customization for production and has good sales, distribution, and quality management features
Previously, we were using a very small ERP called Visual Udyog. Visual Udyog is a very cheap solution. For a startup company, it's useful. It's not an elaborate ERP, but it gives at least 25% of what IQMS gives. It can give 25% or even close to 50% of what IQMS can give and at 10% of the cost. Initially, for the first five years of the company, where it has only one million turnover or two million turnover, it is enough. Once you want to scale up, you have to go to SAP or IQMS. I also worked with SAP. I would say that IQMS and SAP go hand-in-hand.

Integrated academic workflows have transformed how our institution manages courses and results
For Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, every time we need to make an adjustment, we must make a payment, which is slightly expensive for us as an organization. There are certain modifications we'd like to make, and those come with a cost. The licensing is also very expensive, so if the prices could be revisited, especially for educational institutions, that would be really helpful. Otherwise, it has proven to be a very good tool for us as an organization. I chose a rating of nine for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central because it has been very useful for us as an organization, but there are still a few improvements that need to be made. Sometimes we experience glitches when generating certain reports, and every time we need to make a modification, we have to pay for that. Thus, I will not give it a ten because there are a few areas needing improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution has all of the features you need: sales, distribution, supply chain. It has logistics and production management capabilities. It has so many modules, which were integrated using our expertise."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is cloud accessibility."
"The appeal of NAV was that it's all-inclusive, so we didn't need 15 different programs to keep the business running."
"The initial setup is easy."
"For people who want to start using Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, it's a far easier system to use than any other competing ERPs in the segments because it's very easy to configure."
"Customer service is excellent."
"We are very dependent on this solution, we manage almost all of our business processes, and it has helped us a lot."
"The solution's integrations and interface are very good."
"One developer is enough to maintain the solution. Microsoft 365 is changing technology. The product is a user-friendly ERP solution."
 

Cons

"Setup is very complex."
"It was very complex, which is why it took us so long."
"Some people might be disappointed to find that NAV isn't a turnkey solution."
"Since it's complex for a layperson user to understand the solution, it would be better if the solution provided some training resources."
"The reporting tool has room for improvement."
"The product should improve work optimization."
"There are some aspects of the solution that is complex."
"It would be nice, in Microsoft Teams, if we were able to type more information into the chat."
"I would like to improve the tool’s reporting and coding part."
"The solution can improve by having better integration with Microsoft PowerBI and reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid about 20% with the purchase order. Six months later, we paid another 20%, and then another 20% after another six months. We paid the remaining 40% after 18 months."
"I give the solution a seven out of ten for pricing."
"The price of the solution could be reduced to improve their offering."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"I think the pricing is the best; it's cost effective for sure."
"The per user price of $100 a month is better than competitors."

What needs improvement with Microsoft Dynamics NAV?
The only thing that could be improved is integration with WhatsApp, which I can see for Microsoft that it has to be available, and that becomes a challenge sometimes. Everything else is perfect.
