reviewer2765214 - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Sales Support Supervisor at a manufacturing company with 501-1,000 employees
Has required ongoing support and modernization but effectively manages core operations and complex workflows
Microsoft Dynamics AX is a very strong ERP system, applicable for customizations to help companies and organizations streamline their processes. The specific feature I find most valuable about Microsoft Dynamics AX is the applicable permissions. There are many levels of security and permissions for each user to monitor and access specific data relative to their functions. Additionally, the linkage and transition between exploring and moving from window to window, from function to function is valuable. The impact of Microsoft Dynamics AX on managing financial processes is significant. It's a very important element for financial departments as it represents all transactions, references, and records. The adjustments and availability to create more than one virtual company allow large companies, which combined represent one group of companies, to connect and streamline their financials and operations.
MAMUKA KVANTALIANI - PeerSpot reviewer
Pronto Xi Systems Consultant at GUNNEBO AB
Has supported business operations through flexible customization and reliable reporting features
I find Pronto Xi quite robust, fast, and flexible in its use because we can set up any environment and customize it. It covers a wide range of functions, starting from basic finances such as accounts receivable, payable, down to service projects, manufacturing, plant maintenance, and all customer relationships, providing extensive functionality. We utilize Pronto Xi's customizable dashboards in our organization, and it is integrated with the Cognos BI system. These dashboards help us in gaining actionable insights and making informed decisions because they serve visualization purposes for higher-level reporting for top management and senior management. We use them for visualizations for senior management's everyday, weekly, or monthly catch-up with business performance. The advanced reporting capabilities of Pronto Xi improve decision-making because the users of the information understand where the business stands, how it performs, where the pitfalls are, and which branches of businesses are underperforming or doing well. As long as the basic underlying data is correct, they're excellent to use. Pronto Xi's strong emphasis on security and compliance is quite important for my organization because it is strict with multi-layered access and complex password systems. These aspects influence my trust in the platform because we haven't had any problems with Pronto Xi. While there were issues with other systems, Pronto Xi has been reliable, and I would rate my trust level at nine out of ten. The scalability of Pronto Xi is good as my business grows, both in terms of functionality and third-party applications integration.

Cons

"It is not very easy to scale because you have to deal with the partner at the time. You need to spend some effort in order to scale."
"It is being decommissioned."
"The product needs better admin control. There is room for improvement in flexibility, reporting, and dashboards. Artificial intelligence should be incorporated. I have concerns regarding partners, specifically in the implementation and deployment of Microsoft Dynamics."
"Microsoft Dynamics AX can improve system performance and security. The security is basic and needs a lot of improvement."
"It could be more scalable and stable. It would also be better if the interface were more integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem because 2012 is not really integrated."
"There is room for improvement in the licensing model and associated costs of this solution."
"The product is standardised across industries so it is not a good fit for all types of sectors."
"There are so many errors."
"There are a lot of things to be developed in Pronto Xi. I believe we need spool files, better control of inventory levels, and improved distribution capabilities."
"The areas of Pronto Xi that could be improved include its appearance, which is quite outdated, as it does not use modern visualization means of its functionality, and it appears to be from the late 90s."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is stable, and overall, the users are satisfied with it."
"The platform's price offering is good."
"The tool's licensing model is based on user subscription. The pricing needs to be reduced for the Indian and South Asian markets."
"It is $180 to $200 per user per month with a minimum of 20 users, which makes selling the product a bit difficult."
"One license costs $1,000."
"There is an annual licensing cost for Microsoft Dynamics AX."
"The yearly licenses are priced okay."
