Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."Microsoft Dynamics NAV is good for smaller-sized companies."
"It is easy to use, and it works very well for small-scale companies."
"It's quite useful for our production line, and it's easy to configure to our requirements."
"NAV covers everything from purchasing and selling items to invoicing. Everything is within NAV, so it's all very neat."
"The vertical covers all aspects of functionality and integrates easily with the existing Office products."
"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."
"We like the manufacturing and case management modules."
"Its most valuable feature is the user interface."
"I believe Penta costs less than SAP"
"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."
"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."
"The formulas in Power BI could be simpler. Sometimes, it's difficult to figure them out, but I am part of a lot of communities that work with us, so we help each other."
"Its task scheduling and manufacturing models need improvement."
"The solution is not best suited for larger-scale businesses."
"The solution could include the retail tool in the native version."
"There is some network issue."
"It could be more stable."
"However, the production guys tell me that Penta is not suitable for mass production. If we build a hundred cars per day or more, then we'll have problems. At the same time, I can't say whether the issue is Penta or our process. In other words, maybe we have too many manual projects in it."
