Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."I like that it's a complete ERP solution from production level to branch level."
"It is easy to use, and it has a great UI. It has very well-structured modules. In terms of setup and configuration, they're logically placed, which makes it easy for any user to pick up information and learn more about the system, rather than just be plain key users of that business operating system."
"The accounting and inventory management features are valuable."
"If anyone is familiar with Microsoft products then they can handle it easily."
"Microsoft Dynamics is very stable."
"The stability is very good."
"The most valuable feature for us is the manufacturing module. It addresses our product costing for tuna canning."
"The most valuable feature is the workflow of the modules."
"The Financial Accounting module, in general, is quite good. It is quite simple but powerful. Similarly, the Manufacturing functionality, including a multiple level bill of materials, is also quite useful."
"The user interface could be better."
"The product is standardised across industries so it is not a good fit for all types of sectors."
"The initial setup can be complex at times and has room for 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."
"We experienced some challenges with the mobile apps due to the insufficient processing capacity to handle the workload effectively."
"It is being decommissioned."
"Microsoft Dynamics AX can improve system performance and security. The security is basic and needs a lot of improvement."
"The solution in general just needs a few quality improvements."
"SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module. One of my clients is a project-based organization, and they're finding it extremely difficult to manage their business using SYSPRO, to the point that they're looking at alternative solutions. The Projects and Contracts module is not a very useful tool. It does project accounting reasonably well, but in terms of putting in proper structures, like a work breakdown structure and so forth, it's actually quite poor. Their design or their architecture for the Projects module isn't good enough. They need to redesign it and redevelop it. They have made improvements. However, the problem is that if you're building on a bad foundation, then your building isn't going to be very strong. That's principally their problem. Any heavy equipment company would have a requirement to keep their equipment available for production. In that sense, SYSPRO has no maintenance management functionality. There's also no functionality for field services management. These two functionalities are critical for places like mines or for heavy equipment manufacturers who service the aftermarket and so forth. From a product perspective, this obviously isn't a good place to be because they are sort of taking themselves out of the market for quite a number of industries. They are constrained to manufacturing and distribution."
