Offers great integration capabilities and allows just the real-time inventory

Dynamics GP improves inventory management by offering real-time inventory tracking, and automated purchase order creation, receiving, and updating inventory levels. It facilitates site-to-site transfers and allocation tracking, enabling efficient stock management across locations. The integration capability of Dynamics GP, combined with Power Platform, has transformed our business processes. We now use PowerApps to enable salesmen to send orders electronically, eliminating the need for order books. Additionally, we developed HR apps to streamline tasks for our staff, leading to automated processes and improved efficiency. Our experience with Dynamics GP reporting and analytics features, particularly Advanced Analysis, has been great. We utilize customized smart lists for purchasing and other functions, allowing for tailored insights over specific periods. Additionally, we have developed custom dashboards for enhanced visibility and support portal integration. I wouldn't recommend Dynamics GP due to its legacy status and impending end of support. However, if integration with the Power Platform is crucial and the company prioritizes modernization, it could still be a viable option. For new companies, I would suggest considering Dynamics 365 Business Central for a more modern solution. Overall, I would rate Dynamics GP as a seven out of ten.

Integration across functionalities has streamlined business operations and improved cost efficiency

Odoo's documentation needs improvement, as there are areas that are not well-documented. Additionally, some underlying technologies need refactoring to more modern structures. Although it's not immediately necessary since the system works, changes to the architecture would be beneficial. From the transition from version 17 to 18, it appears they are aware and have begun addressing some of these concerns.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is strong in integration."

"It's enhanced by a subscription billing add-on, to efficiently automate billing and invoicing, particularly due to our substantial customer database."

"The solution is easy to use and not complicated. Also, it is easy to get trained on. Also, there is good information available on the web. The GP community is quite broad and there are many blogs online."

"You can track everything from beginning to end quite easily."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily update and maintain accurate data across all aspects of our operations."

"The fixed assets, payroll, the data module, and user-friendliness are most valuable."

"It is a tried and tested ERP system which if used correctly, is definitely a very good program for managing all aspects of a business from customer sales, and receivables management, to payable management and finance reporting. So, it's super critical for any mid-sized company."

"Microsoft Dynamics GP has supported our compliance with industry regulations completely."

More Microsoft Dynamics GP pros

"The most advantageous aspect is that with minimal customization, a company can be automated within a span of two to three months."

"It is a comprehensive tool containing a lot of applications integrated together by nature. It is easy to use and has a nice interface that is easy to learn and teach your employees."

"Odoo is a cloud-based SaaS system, which is better than having the program on the desktop."

"Odoo is highly scalable."

"The product is stable...The product is scalable."

"The scalability is very good. There are over 100+ end users in our company."

"Odoo's setup phase is easy."

"I find the financial module, along with the integrations of projects and the HR human resource module, to be the most valuable aspects of Odoo."

More Odoo pros

Cons

"At times, navigating the user console can be challenging, particularly when trying to find account information."

"As technology changes, I would say probably in the area of chart up account needs improvement because chart up account is a string. So if they make it more flexible."

"As for room for improvement, they have different modules, project and analytical accounting, but it will be good to have that kind of part in the standard package. To have that additional reporting functionality where you can add an attribute or something, which you can report again. So you can analyze the cost by not just natural accounts but also by a project, without having to go through another module edit on top and then the other module edit on top. The more modules you add, sometimes it doesn't work that well. Additionally, it would be easier to have the solution on the cloud. That's our consideration. We are trying to move all our systems to the cloud, and GP is one of them that we are going to move in the next couple of years. I would rate the solution seven or seven point five out of ten."

"The purchase order and processing aspects of the solution should be improved."

"The issue we're encountering is that it's primarily designed for independent installations and not initially structured as a cloud-based solution, which has led to challenges with connectivity."

"It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. "

"It requires a lot of expertise to implement."

"What could be improved is the functionality of Dynamics GP because it requires a lot of development by the programmers and the company in order to integrate into a solution."

More Microsoft Dynamics GP cons

"The solution lacks local API support. Also, it lacks some database integration platforms. In short, it lacks an API integration platform."

"Odoo's documentation needs improvement, as there are areas that are not well-documented."

"Odoo provides their apps on mobile, but it is not good enough, especially for my clients."

"The reporting and the interface could definitely be better."

"The tool needs to improve its scalability."

"It's too early to make a definitive statement about Odoo as we are currently in the implementation stages. Once the implementation is complete and the system is up and running, we'll be able to provide feedback on its effectiveness and suitability for our needs. The implementation is very straightforward, and the system is easy to operate, similar to working with a spreadsheet. If there's one thing that could significantly enhance the system, it would be incorporating more AI capabilities."

"There are features that cannot be opened in the community edition and from a user perspective."

"They could thoroughly study the market dynamics of different regions and connecting areas."

More Odoo cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In comparison to other ERP systems, the pricing is not necessarily inexpensive, but it can be considered more cost-effective."

"I think the tool is competitively priced and it's more of a one-time investment with a low annual renewal fee."

"For us, in our local currency, it costs us around 5 million Botswanan Pulas a year. It's quite a lot of money."

"Its pricing and licensing are high. Of course, we all know that it is Microsoft."

"It is an affordable solution."

"The solution's price is steep."

"I would say that the pricing is moderate, not cheap, and not expensive. There are many more expensive ERPs than GP, and there are less expensive as well, so it is moderately priced."

"We evaluated some local products, because of the pricing, but this product has better features and support."

"Odoo is an open-source tool. I don't have to pay for it."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Odoo's pricing a six out of ten."

"The cost is expensive but cheaper than some other competitors."

"Currently, we pay around 5000-6,000 USD per month, though I am not sure. We have to pay additionally for maintenance and support."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one means high price, and ten means low price, I rate Odoo's pricing a five or six out of ten."

"I would rate this product on pricing as a six. If it is a SaaS solution, it is fixed. It is reasonably expensive."

"Its pricing is well-received in Latin America. They sell by the user. In October 2022, they changed the way they sell Odoo. They commercialized Odoo. They now sell by the user. The cost of a user is $13.5 five per month for Latin America, which is lower than other ERPs."

"The pricing is quite affordable, especially when compared to other products, making it a cost-effective choice."
