"I am impressed with the tool's user authentication, compatibility , and policies."
"The vertical covers all aspects of functionality and integrates easily with the existing Office products."
"Has good integration with Power BI."
"Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is extremely stable as it does not rely on our in-house servers."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is its ease of use, data customization, and smooth integration."
"Microsoft Dynamic 365 has everything we need, like Teams, Outlook, Excel, etc. I do a lot of data visualization, so I work a lot with Power BI. I bring in tables from Oracle and use Power Bi to manipulate and visualize the data. I handle all the stats and track everything that goes in and out of the company. We use all the modules, but I work primarily with Power BI, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams. They are all equally important and work together."
"I find the financial module, along with the integrations of projects and the HR human resource module, to be the most valuable aspects of Odoo."
"Odoo's setup phase is easy."
"Odoo is user-friendly. It's the first solution we tried, so we find it easy to use."
"The scalability is very good. There are over 100+ end users in our company."
"We find manufacturing and stock quite useful, as well as the CRM to be the most valuable features."
"What I find the most valuable about Odoo is its simplicity."
"Odoo operates on a subscription-based model, ensuring access to the most up-to-date version at all times."
"Odoo is highly scalable."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV could be improved in terms of exporting income statements and balance sheets. Currently, there is a feature, but you can only have the last three years. I spent some time trying to improve the KPI portion that exports the data, that already calculates the sub forms or subtotals, but they weren't able to break that up into different dimensions. They've now managed to crowd the separate table and you can export that, but it's only for the last three years. So, they could improve this solution by getting the chart of accounts or the account schedules to be exported, where you can go further than just three years with it."
"We need to customize more often than we would like."
"There is room for improvement in the ability to reverse or correct transactions more easily."
"Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central has been buggy in my experience and they should improve in this area. Additionally, there are too many updates. The updates involve a whole bunch of applications as part of the package, such as the Edge browser. The updates are too broad across the whole package of applications."
"There is a lot of improvement needed in the top model, such as better integration with logistics, quality management, and data modeling for all revenue types."
"As our company grew we had to switch from Microsoft Dynamics NAV to a solution that was suited for larger-sized companies."
"The solution is stable, but it could improve."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV could improve the reporting."
"It has been difficult to adapt to continuous changes, you have to understand what is new and what is changing in less than twelve months. You can take advantage of the new features, but you have to research them to be able to implement them."
"The price of the solution could be reduced to improve the overall offering."
"There is room for improvement in Odoo, especially in enhancing its reporting capabilities."
"Currently, the regional office is in Dubai, and I believe it would be beneficial to establish a regional office in Pakistan to enhance support and accessibility for users in our country."
"They could thoroughly study the market dynamics of different regions and connecting areas."
"I'm uncertain because each year they release a new version with improvements. However, one area that needs significant enhancement is the website, particularly the modern core website. While there's an approach similar to WordPress, it is quite basic at the moment. Besides that, particularly with the POS solutions, we identified potential security issues. This is due to the storage of information on cookies or similar sessions. In cases of Internet-related issues, there's a vulnerability where data might be compromised. The system uses temporary storage until the internet connection is restored, and then it pushes the data to the server or database. This poses a risk, especially in point-of-sale systems, where there could be vulnerabilities for data modification or alteration by unauthorized individuals."
"There is room for improvement in Odoo's technical support."
"Odoo can invest in improvements, considering areas like AI and ML, where there are shortcomings."
