### "Unnecessarily complicated and expensive to implement reports are terrible. "

March 24, 2022

2.0

Terrible. I have been used at least 3 other systems and all of the others have been more intuitive. This product is a mess. Worst decision we have made with our startup is selecting this software.

Pros

It is not a bad looking interface. That is the only positive thing I can say about this software.

Cons

The software is not at all intuitive, very little is possible to do out of the box, everything requires expensive consultant time to set up, and even simple reports are hard to generate. Way, way too complicated to do basic things. It leaves us with little functional reporting and a lot of frustrating headaches. By the time you realize you have made a mistake implementing its way too late.

Reason for choosing Dynamics 365 Business Central

We were told it was good by a consultant who (surprise), installed the product for us and charges us a boatload to do it.

### "my Microsoft dynamics NAV by pmx review"

September 12, 2019

4.0

it is good and i recommend it for automated daily media buying activities.

Pros

it makes our day to day media buying process as it automates the process for better efficiency and saves time.

Cons

the software doesn't make room for recall especially in situations where the initial data has been modified.

### "Full of unrealised potential"

March 20, 2018

3.0

Pros

I've evaluated NAV for other roles and now I have been using the product I am convinced that it is a very powerful product when configured correctly. It has options for many roles and the ability to configure the system exists but is limited by design.

Cons

Very high cost support and difficult nature of upgrades is a real turn off. Each version upgrade is treated as a new deployment. Lacks the ability to make even the most basic changes without partner assistance or developer licence. While the product has a lot of potential I would be reluctant to upgrade an old version as I feel there are other products out there which can do the same job with a much more reasonable price tag. Value for money is the main reason I have marked this application down.

### "Needed an upgraded accounting system"

February 27, 2022

4.0

Pros

This system offers a lot of reporting options. It helps us keep track of multiple businesses in one system.

Cons

The initial set-up and use of this system was a little difficult. The training was not as thorough as it could have been by the BC team. Once we received actual system use it was easier to kind of train ourselves on the system features and the best ways to make the system work for us.

### "Pretty easy to navigate, but the screen formatting needs adjusted"

September 19, 2019

4.0

We use the collections module, sales, purchasing, service cost, job cost, subcontractor module, and more. We use purchase orders and 3 way matching and use dynamics for a wide range of use.

Pros

You can easily adjust titles to be in red or have distinctive features to stand out, but it is not always easy to do on the financial module and you cannot do it when using features like smartlist.

Cons

The inability to generate certain reports (you have to set them up yourself) which can be VERY time consuming.

### "AZZURE-IT as our implementation partner in the UK have hidden the renewal process to charge us more"

June 28, 2022

4.0

The software is very powerful, the support from AZZURE-IT has been awful, slow, not transparent and very misleading.

Pros

With Azzure-IT implementation was costly and long

Cons

When all implemented, we need to downgrade our license, we told them, they knew but then they hid the new terms so just for 1 day we got caught into another full year license with users we didn´t need and getting charged for ir. Totally inmorale.

### "dynamics 365"

December 1, 2022

4.0

It was beneficial and helped with standing up our isolation/quarantine site and being able to keep processes smooth and effortless.

Pros

having a system that our providers were able to use to store information during COVID isolation and quarantine. Helped the team with making sure they stuck to the proper workflow

Cons

Sometimes it was hard to create queries of reports. You would really need to know how to sort the information to get the data needed.

Good ERP for Small to medium enterprises

Pros

If you get the right partner- developer it a highly customizable product Great compatibility with MS Office Suite As an accounting or Financial Management ERP it is function rich, from the custom reports- account schedules, intercompany to navigation functionalities

Jobs lacks proper integration with Financial Management The number of updates or releases are just overwhelming

### "Account and financial record needs"

January 18, 2018

3.0

Pros

Accounting, G/L/ Receivables. Fairly straightforward and easy to use. Use from time it was GP 10. Standard reports were easy to use.

Cons

Glitches from time to time, we only had a certain amount of users accounts purchased and at times had more people trying to use so couldn't log in, but that isnt a software con. Just a con that you have to purchase a number of users.

### "Great software, if you're not afraid of customization"

November 27, 2018

4.0

Great software for small and midsize businesses.

Pros

One of NAV's biggest strengths is the fact that it's a Microsoft product, so the ease of use factor is high, given the fact that virtually all employees are familiar with MS ribbons, icons, etc. NAV is also customizable (with the help of a consultant). The fact that it is customizable, yet easy to up-gradable, is a huge factor.

Cons

There are some basic items that are only available through customization. I would like to see MS make these accessible as items that users can configure, vs. having to pay for customization.

### "365 business "

March 30, 2023

3.0

So so not very impressed I think it’s all I have to work with

Pros

Office ability to send emails and collaborate with others and it did offers choices but all add on cost

Cons

Sell businesses full version not starter style and charge for every add on we are using this for our benefit

March 30, 2021

5.0

Overall experience with this software is great haven't had any problems.

Pros

I would say almost everyone in the front office use office 365. For the needs we have for it the software works great.

Cons

Don't really have anything I like least about it. We are mostly Mac-based computers and it still works out great for compatibility.

### "Great Product"

October 23, 2019

5.0

Microsoft has always been a great service that our company enjoys using. This service continues to strengthen the brand of Microsoft.

Pros

The thing i like is that the interface is easy to use. The setup requirements are better than the normal setup ideals.

Cons

I did not like how it is difficult to add users into our system. Not everyone has had a positive experience with this software.

### "Not worth it"

March 16, 2019

2.0

Horrible! Cannot wait to get rid of it!

Pros

Honestly, there is very little I like about this software. The potential capabilities of the newest product line are great. It just costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to get it programmed and even more to keep it up to date.

Cons

Too expensive to update as needed. Way too expensive to have it front loaded. Too complicated for an in house team to set up. This is the most complicated and finicky software I have ever had to use. I cannot wait until we are using our new ERP system. Software times you out after a few minutes and does not autosave. Information fields do no flow properly between functions.

### "Maybe Wonderful IF You're an Accounting guru"

April 11, 2017

2.0

As a Project Manager, MS Nav is more of a hassle than it should be. No fields automatically fill and you are often entering the same information multiple time. For example, even though you Login with your Username and Password - You must fill in Who you are, What Division you work for, What Sub Company you Work for, List your manager, the Date - All just to write an order. Also, each line item in a PO requires the date to be entered 3x and the job number to be typed after each item. Unacceptable when it comes to productivity and user friendliness

Pros

It better than paper...

Cons

### "Easy system to use"

July 10, 2018

5.0

Pros

Microsoft NAV is easy to use and navigate, performs well and being in HR the functions I need are easy to get to

Cons

Not sure if this is a function selected in the implementation process but the only part I don't like is that payroll does not have access to the employee profiles and only HR can update their information

### "BC is the best of the Dynamics ERPs"

December 23, 2022

4.0

Pros

Microsoft took all of the best parts of Dynamics NAV and turned it into Business Central. It's a full fledged ERP with all necessary functionality to run any SMB.

Cons

Customizable reporting is very weak. You need a 3rd party solution.

### "Property Management for Dynamics NAV is a great solution for Real Estate Companies "

May 26, 2017

4.0

Better collaboration, higher transparency, less redundant data and work.

Pros

With PMX Property Management we can manage almost our entire operations with this solution. We especially like that the solution provides a very stong and flexible accounting base with a lot of reporting tools available.

Cons

As with every integrated solution people have to adapt to the fact that all information is in one data base afterwards. The learning process for everybody that one's actions / entries influence all others takes some time.
