"I like Microsoft Dynamics' simplicity. The interface is excellent, and it's a highly mature product. You can hardly find any bugs in the product."
"The selling feature is the most valuable."
"All of the features are valuable, depending on where you implement them. I've done implementations in 60 countries, across 86 different companies and groups, and each company has a different reason for why they want to use it. Every single feature that I've implemented has been successful, and for some companies, where they didn't use the functionality, they have moved to external products or they've integrated into other applications."
"It's quite reliable, and there's a good local provider who can adapt the solution for tax issues."
"This is readily available and affordable, as well as user-friendly and simple to use in my opinion."
"The solution's integrations and interface are very good."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central are the dashboards, ease of use, and flexibility."
"The initial setup is not complex. The deployment process was relatively straightforward."

"The solution is parameterized so it naturally has the ability to parameterize, configure, and adapt to various organizational procedures."
"The UI is not particularly user-friendly and the CRM could do with some enhancements."
"The solution's event management can be improved."
"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."
"I would like to improve the tool’s reporting and coding part."
"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."
"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."
"Since it's complex for a layperson user to understand the solution, it would be better if the solution provided some training resources."
"The solution is not best suited for larger-scale businesses."
"The solution does not have a solid, out-of-the-box API architecture that is supported."
"Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management could improve the search functionality. For example, if I was to search for a transaction from last year it would be difficult to accomplish. I have to scroll through to find what I am looking for. The approach should be more similar to Quickbooks where when you search for something it takes you directly to the searched item."
"Its implementation process is kind of complicated. If the person implementing it doesn't know what he is doing, the system can have many issues. Sage X3 is just an accounting system. As compared to Oracle E-Business Suite, it does not cover a lot of functionality. It doesn't have the payroll, lease management, and HR modules. Oracle E-Business Suite is better than Sage X3."
"It is not suitable for corporate or manufacturing companies. For example, it's challenging to use it for a manufacturing company."

Dear Sage Users,
I would like to ask you if you have experienced similar problems with Sage X3 that I have mentioned below. If yes, please advise me how can I fix them.
I am the first customer of Sage X3 in Poland. Since September 2014 there has been an extensive implementation of Sage X3 software in my 120-person company for 60 software licenses. My company has been using Sage X3 since August, 1st 2015. The overall cost of our investment so far amounts to 280.000 EUR.
After one year of my experience with Sage X3 I can say that each day is marked with new defects emerging in Accounting and Finance and Inventory and Warehouse modules.
Unfortunately, the Sales and Inventory Management Modules of Sage X3 possess very serious flaws that have been discovered in August of last year and have not been remediated so far. The most important flaw of Sage X3 concerns the phenomenon of uncontrolled change of prices of goods in different warehouse locations. This defect results in our inability to accurately account the result of the company and provide reliable financial data to tax offices, external financial auditors, banks, and to calculate sales commissions. For example, during transfer of one product of 100 EUR value from warehouse A to warehouse B, Sage X3 unexpectedly and randomly changes its value into 103 EUR or 95 EUR or other value. The values of goods can be decreased or increased without any logical reason. Over the course of last 9 months, there have been numerous attempts of repair. There have been many announcements from Sage Poland that the problem has been eliminated. In reality, the problem continues to exist and is deepening. The issue concerns both old and new deliveries, also two large recent deliveries, each of them encompassing few containers of goods.
Problems with X3 implementation are causing significant financial losses to my 120-personnel company.
Beside malfunction of purchasing prices mentioned above, there are also other problems in Polish version of X3:
Accounting and Finance
• no module fixed assets
• Inconsistent data provided by the various modules of Sage, eg. different statements of the same warehouse in Accounting and Sales modules. Three different statements of the same warehouse, show three different inventory amount.
• In PL version no proper reports of profit and loss account, balance sheet, etc.
• no automatic posting clearing counterparties in this settlement with cash reports
Purchasing Management/Material Requirements Planning
• no automatic integration of data
• values of minimum stock have been entered into Sage X3, but optimal replenishment recommendations not working
Manufacturing Management
• no production module of the working properly and thus no possibility to connect production to accounting system
Sales Management
• incorrect prices of goods accepted for sale
• Sage X3 changes prices of goods transferred from one location of warehouse to another
• customers’ balances mistakes, also incorrect information of debts of the customer 'total balance' and even a few minutes of disappearing balances in SAGE. The program then gives the debt of "0". Bizarre is that the issued invoice can be seen in the Cashier and Sales module only after posting, so it is after 1-3 days.
