	Microsoft Dynamics GP
Considered Both Products	Microsoft Verified User Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP Microsoft Dynamics GP is obviously superior to the other platforms I’ve used simply in its robustness and GAAP compliance features, but with far less usability and even in someways less usable reporting. Incentivized Helpful? Ray Wong, CPA, CMA Consultant in Information Technology at Archerpoint (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP Business Central wasn't out then. Nav, the predecessor, was out, but its user interface was dated until 2009, when the role-tailored client came out; it was much better afterwards. If your company has manufacturing, then Business Central is the way to go. It's unfortunate that … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP It is more powerful in features and ease of use as Microsoft GP provides an intuitive user interface leading to quicker adoption. Incentivized Helpful? Lacey Davidson Office Manager in Human Resources at JumBurrito (Restaurants, 51-200 employees) Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP Xero is easier to use, closer to Quickbooks. Most of the background GL is automated, where as in GP it is not. Incentivized Helpful? Johanna Moyer OBrien Payroll Administrator in Finance and Accounting at PatientMatters (Accounting, 51-200 employees) Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP Due to the size of our company Microsoft Dynamics GP works better for us than Quickbooks because of the reporting capabilities. However, the NetSuite demo proved to be much more user-friendly with more reporting capabilities. Incentivized Helpful? Michael Bartlett President in Information Technology at Brandyhill.net, Inc. (Information Technology and Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP Because GP doesn't do CRM we have looked at D365 Customer Engagement for our field service, and F&O as a replacement. Vaporware, no direct upgrade path, and if you want to continue with GP for your back office and just use Field Service it's an insanely complex integration … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP Quickbooks, SAP, and Netsuite. We are a small-sized business so Dynamics GP is better for our business. Incentivized Helpful? Jason Conner Productivity Coach in Sales at KWPhilly (Real Estate, 11-50 employees) Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP There are more features and products overall in the Microsoft package at a better price point. Overall, Salesforce has a much sleeker and more user-friendly design. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP We moved from Epicor Eagle N Series to Dynamics GP as an accounting solution for our new POS system. I believe Dynamics GP has more options to create and present financial statements for a large company with many regions and districts. However, because of the weakness of our … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP They both accomplish the same thing, I think Oracle was what I first learned and thus making the change to Microsoft Dynamics GP just took a little bit of time to learn the technology. After you get the hang of it, it becomes much easier and I taught my coworkers how to use it. Incentivized Helpful? Renaud Renvoye Sales Rep in Sales at Varonis (Computer & Network Security, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP I did not pick Dynamics over Salesforce, my company was using it and eventually switched over to Salesforce. I would say that Dynamics is user-friendly and the interface is quite easy to understand. I really like the reporting capabilities as well. Once again, the aesthetic … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP GP is more robust than QuickBooks bar none. Incentivized Helpful? FRANCISCO OLIVEIRA Assistant Controller in Finance and Accounting at Flavor Materials International (Food & Beverages, 51-200 employees) Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP At the time of purchase, Microsoft Dynamics GP seemed more appropriate and more in sync with the needs of our company. The software was more responsive, user-friendly and it allowed for more flexibility with the way it was intended to be used. We were also promised better … Incentivized Helpful? Alan Tillman Process Engineer in Engineering at OTR Leasing (Automotive, 11-50 employees) Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP My recollection of QuickBooks Pro isn't great, and it was over 10 years ago. Obviously many things have changed in that time frame, so any comparison would likely not be relevant. Incentivized Helpful? Mike Bisceglia Director of Information Technology in Information Technology at New Hope Treatment Centers Inc (Mental Health Care, 501-1000 employees) Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP Cannot provide comparison Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP The only product with have shopped was Sage Intacct. It is somewhat unfair to compare the two solutions, because Sage Intacct is a cloud-based solution. That said, Intacct appears to advertise better reporting/business intelligence capabilities. MS Dynamics GP should be aware … Incentivized Helpful? Guillermo Villamizar Enterprise Products Chief in Information Technology at CELISTICS (Logistics and Supply Chain, 501-1000 employees) Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP Microsoft Dynamics GP is one of the best ERP's for a medium or small business in the market today. When we were looking for the right software, it had already a connection developed with our 3rd party logistics system, so the decision was pretty easy since the logistic / supply … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP Dynamics GP is much more flexible and enterprise-oriented than QuickBooks Pro or similar software. It can support many more users and scenarios. However it requires more dedicated infrastructure (such as servers and databases) and more dedicated IT resources to maintain and … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP I love Dayforce for payroll. It has been configured to meet all our needs, is user-friendly and the customer support is fantastic. We originally moved from MDGP payroll to Ceridian Insync payroll due to the issues we had. We upgraded to Dayforce and are very happy with the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP Learning GP with so many resources from the GP community has been easy. Someone always has the answer or suggestions to point me in the right direction. I've had very few instances where the systems caused an error that required research in order to fix the glitch. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP We looked at several general ledger software packages. We had excellent customer service and implementation guidance through a third party. Having a knowledgeable consultant is critical to a successful implementation. Incentivized Helpful? Jay Moore CIO in Information Technology at The National Beta Club (Non-Profit Organization Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP QuickBooks Pro and GP are not on the same playing field. GP is a full account system adhering to GAAP, while QuickBooks is designed for the small business market. While starting out with QuickBooks is easy, if you plan to grow, you will soon outgrow it. Incentivized Helpful? Brad Price Corporate Controller in Finance and Accounting at AgaMatrix (Medical Devices, 501-1000 employees) Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP Microsoft Dynamics is a good, easy to use product for entities that do not have advanced manufacturing. If I were to go into a distribution or service type business I would highly recommend it. If I were to go into an advanced manufacturing environment I would not consider GP. Incentivized Helpful? Gio Lima Chief Financial Officer in Finance and Accounting at Starboard Management Group (Restaurants, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP More user friendly in certain areas and much more cost effective to manage and support Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP TechSoup had great privcing, I had experince with GP in previous companys and there are a lot of staff accountants who have relevant experience.

User Testimonials
	Microsoft Dynamics GP
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics GP is well-suited for our environment, as we pay a diverse group of employees, including on-the-road drivers, shop employees (some in other locations), and office employees. It easily tracks time off, taxes, pay, etc. The reporting allows us to verify with our drivers how they are paid each week, whether it be through mileage or stop-offs. Incentivized Brent Hanson Sys Admin Read full review
Pros	Microsoft Great Plains started as back office/accounting, and that is still it's strong suit. SQL and the GP programming language, Dexterity, provide a robust, scalable, and stable platform with well documented maintenance and repair procedures. Relatively easy to manage, tune, and support. Microsoft support for GP verges on "particularly well". Doesn't quite get there but good enough once you know what you're doing Strong partner network, including the GP User Group (GPUG) Incentivized Michael Bartlett President Read full review
Cons	Microsoft With respect to the allocations, once the expense is entered into the allocation account, you lose the ability to run any detail on just the total of the expense. It would be nice if you could run a trial balance on the allocation accounts the same way you can with regular accounts. I've always thought security set up could be a bit simpler. It actually has gotten better through the years. Specifically, with eight separate entities, it would be nice to have a "master" setup where you could call up one group entity, assign the users rights, and then be finished. Currently, whenever I have a new user, I have to call up each individual entity and select all of the features I want the user to have. That means I have to do eight steps for each user. Incentivized Candi Southall Director of Finance Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Microsoft Due the economic challenges that Puerto Rico is having, the company has had to merge some companies in order to be more efficient. It has been easy in GP to process those merges, even thought we had to spend days to accomplish that the process was smooth and accurate. In addition we were able to streamline the purchasing and sales process and the organization is confident to keep renewing GP for the future versions. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Usability	Microsoft Though it is a basic accounting package, I believe some users do not find the old style menus and navigation options intuitive. There is also a great lack of training resources in the market, so users have to learn the product without guidance a lot, resulting in inefficient workflows and misuse or misunderstanding of many features. Incentivized Constance Quigley Owner Read full review
Support Rating	Microsoft The rating is directed to the thrid party serive provider that we use. I do not now how good the Microsoft direct support is. Incentivized Brad Price Corporate Controller Read full review
Implementation Rating	Microsoft Basically the challenge with this implementation was the Business Portal, too many errors and even the aplication is up and running the users are still having issues. We will start planning the migraton to GP 2015 soon. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft I come from a strong background of using SAP. SAP doesn't have the flexibility of GP, an example would be SAP doesn't allow core mods, if they catch you, you lose support. Microsoft doesn't really care about mods, but they will be quick to have the vendor you used support your issue if it is caused by those mods. With SAP your company adapts to the software, where with GP you adapt the software to you. Incentivized Eric Mereen Application Systems Analyst Read full review
Scalability	Microsoft The functionality that GP and related ISV solutions offer and the ease of integration of GP to other systems makes it an extremely scalable solution Incentivized Tricia Wolfe Jarvis CFO Read full review
Return on Investment	Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics GP allows my clients to move from a paper or spreadsheet based company to an integrated, electronic, streamlined business. I love being able to help clients gain efficiencies through the use of Microsoft Dynamics GP. Microsoft Dynamics GP allows for better customer service because everything is at our fingertips. If someone calls questioning an invoice, we can easily look it up. If someone calls stating they paid an invoice with a certain check number, we can quickly run a query to find that particular check number to see where it was applied. Having everything on a single platform provides ease of use for upgrades, backups and end user training. There is only one software to learn! Incentivized Melissa Brown Consultant Read full review
