Provides end-to-end accounting and finance module at reasonable pricing
365 Business Central integrates with Office 365 to streamline the invoice approval process. This allows businesses to manage and approve invoices efficiently within a unified system. Our organization plans to transition to the Dynamics 365 environment, where various functions will be centralized. We will consolidate everything into one system instead of maintaining multiple databases for each country with local data. Dynamics 365 is fully integrated, which should address many of our challenges when we migrate to this new environment. We look forward to seeing how it performs in practice. The project is progressing well overall, though integrating it with other tools and ensuring Dynamics 365 operates smoothly can be challenging. Dynamics 365 is user-friendly and effective. However, a deeper understanding of its technical capabilities and architecture might be necessary to optimize its use fully. The software landscape is evolving, and achieving the best reporting and functionality with just a click can be complex. A clear vision of what you want to achieve with Dynamics 365 is essential. Proper preparation and configuration are crucial to achieving the desired outcomes. This principle applies not only to Dynamics 365 but to all software packages. Understanding the system's flexibility and adaptability based on your specific business needs is key to its successful implementation. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

AI automation saves time and simplifies financial processes
The data entry process is very time-consuming. Without using options like ODA, manually entering data in the GLS screen or Oracle invoices is a time-consuming job. The screens could be improved, as a lot of mouse clicks are required, and multiple fields need to be entered. Although it has a workaround with spreadsheets, the screen interface could be better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's quite reliable, and there's a good local provider who can adapt the solution for tax issues."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible, and customizable."
"We are getting more features after switching to Microsoft 365."
"The selling feature is the most valuable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The initial setup is easy - because it stands on Microsoft offerings, it's simple and intuitive to use."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV is brilliant and it's a different segment when comparing it with Dynamics AX. Dynamics AX is a larger product with much more features and it's aimed at a different segment of the market."
"The platform offers a robust and comprehensive cycle for supply chain and inventory management, with features like minimum and maximum settings, dynamic monitoring of inventory levels, and integration with Microsoft's AI capabilities."
"I like the tool’s financial and human capital management features."
"The solution is user-friendly with a good integration layer."
"I find that the overall framework and database structure is quite comprehensive."
"The embedded AI is very beneficial for automations, and it provides a lot of help to customers."
"It provides our management a real-time view of operations."
"It fosters adoption of a shared services center model."
"The best part of Oracle ERP Cloud is that everything can be found in a single place."
"Oracle has proprietary cloud technology and provides high levels of technology and security."
 

Cons

"There is a need for improvement in consolidation and multi-country master data management."
"The Power BI integration could be more seamless."
"In the next release, I would like to see a quality check module - Navision doesn't have one, and the industry very much requires it."
"I work in Pakistan, and many people want desktop solutions. They don't want to work on the cloud. They want a strictly on-premises solution."
"If Microsoft made some of the security setups a little easier to work with, that would be a significant improvement. The warehouse management features could also use some work. We had to buy third-party software to make NAV's warehouse management and security more usable and functional."
"The tool needs to work on reporting issues and user interface."
"The UI is not particularly user-friendly and the CRM could do with some enhancements."
"The reporting tool has room for improvement."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP's interface needs to be improved."
"The Oracle ERP Cloud accounts payable could be improved."
"UI is not very presentable for a cloud solution."
"You need a lot of knowledge to set up Oracle ERP Cloud."
"I would like to see an improved approach to pulling data with VDI."
"The database is outdated and quite rigid."
"The data entry process is very time-consuming."
"There are two main areas for improvement. First, the licensing and pricing model confuses customers, especially after going live. Different components like EPM, ERP, and OIC are charged differently. Second, the manufacturing functionality needs more maturity, especially for non-process-based manufacturing. We've raised this with Oracle, and they've acknowledged it. They might address it in future patches."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license changes every year. Sometimes it's for fixed users, and sometimes it's for concurrent users."
"The tool’s licensing is yearly. The solution is cheaper compared to other ERP products from Oracle or SAP."
"We have a perpetual license to use Microsoft Dynamics NAV."
"The per user price of $100 a month is better than competitors."
"I give the solution a seven out of ten for pricing."
"There is an annual cost of using Microsoft Dynamics NAV. The cost is approximately 140,000 INR."
"The price of the solution could be reduced to improve their offering."
"I think the pricing is the best; it's cost effective for sure."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither expensive nor cheap."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is not a cheap solution."
"The pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud is on par with other top solutions."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP is reasonable and recommended for medium-sized enterprises. It might be a bit expensive for smaller businesses, but it is a good product if they have sufficient users."
"In a developing country such as Bangladesh, Oracle ERP Cloud is expensive compared to on-premise solutions, so the turnover is very low. Customers become more comfortable using on-premise services because of the high subscription costs of Oracle ERP Cloud."
"The product pricing is based on a per-user model. It is expensive."
"For an ERP Cloud, the pricing is relatively high."
"It is too costly."
