Pros
"It's pretty easy to set up.""If I put myself in the customer's shoes, it's easier to use. Reporting would be a very valuable feature."

More Microsoft Dynamics SL Pros →

"The solution is parameterized so it naturally has the ability to parameterize, configure, and adapt to various organizational procedures.""The initial setup is not complex. The deployment process was relatively straightforward.""The most valuable feature of Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management is the business intelligence module. Additionally, report consolidation, cloud access, and analysis are useful.""The accounting part and the procurement part are most valuable. It is a very good system with workflows and notifications."

Cons
"An area of improvement could be around automation and predictability.""The licensing of the solution should be adjusted. The policies aren't ideal. They should make it easier to understand. Right now, it's too confusing."

More Microsoft Dynamics SL Cons →

"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.""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.""The solution does not have a solid, out-of-the-box API architecture that is supported."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "If the value proposition is clear for the customer, they won't see it as an expensive solution. A solution becomes expensive when it doesn't do what it promises."
  • More Microsoft Dynamics SL Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is very cheap. There are no additional charges, but the problem is that you have to acquire an additional supporting system such as a budgeting system. You will have to implement the integration and maintain two systems. So, you need to pay for the license of that budgeting system and this one. You also need to pay the license for the payroll and integration. There are all these integrations that you have to pay for."
  • "The solution delivers the same capabilities of SAP or Oracle at about 30% to 40% of the cost."
  • "The price of this solution is expensive. However, it depends on the number of branches used. The price can be upwards of $40,000 annually."
  • "The cost is not expensive."
