Considered Both Products	Microsoft Dynamics GP Verified User Anonymous 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 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 Anonymous 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 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? JM Johanna Moyer OBrien Payroll Administrator 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 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 Anonymous 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 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 Anonymous 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 Anonymous 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? RR Renaud Renvoye Sales Rep 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 Anonymous Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP GP is more robust than QuickBooks bar none. Incentivized Helpful? FO FRANCISCO OLIVEIRA Assistant Controller 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 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 Chose Microsoft Dynamics GP Cannot provide comparison Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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 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 Anonymous 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 Anonymous 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 Anonymous 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 Anonymous 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 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 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?

User Testimonials
	Microsoft Dynamics GP	PixelPoint POS
Likelihood to Recommend	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 BH Brent Hanson Sys Admin Read full review	PixelPoint is easy to use and trains staff with its functions. It is easy to add/delete menu items for managers Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	User friendly interface Able to be extended into multiple areas of your business One feature we have been using for a few years is EFT for payables - it has significantly reduced the time spent paying vendors and reduced our check printing and mailing costs. It is very easy to setup and use. Incentivized Tricia Wolfe Jarvis CFO Read full review	easy to use intuitive menu customizable Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Supply chain management is adequate but not exceptional, and there are challenges tying the product to a website front end. These features are present and work fine in many environments but are often lacking for customers who need more robust systems. Reporting tools often require consulting expertise or an internal business analyst to develop. Many smaller companies don't have this skill set, so it can be costly to upgrade to GP from a smaller packages like QuickBooks. Some features that are available in competing products are still not present in GP, such as full copy-paste functionality and more intelligent workflow/batch processing functions. Incentivized Constance Quigley Owner Read full review	The labor tracking can improve to better track overtime and spread pay. HR tracking would be great. Take mobile payments. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	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 Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	Menus are generally quite difficult to navigate, user-friendliness is lacking, platform can at times be unstable (crashes, etc), reports tha would seem to report one thing do not actually return that data. Usability is probably the biggest weakness of Microsoft Dynamics GP. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	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	No answers on this topic
Implementation Rating	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 Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	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 import/export. D365 F&O is a huge implementation cost, and without a direct migration path every bit of data has to be custom imported. There really is no straightforward way to stack up GP against these programs currently. Again, the future of GP is in some doubt. Incentivized Michael Bartlett President Read full review	We selected PixelPoiny of because of the ease of use and the price. I think for what we needed (a POD for PixePoint) fit in well for our needs. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Scalability	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	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	We have never missed a payroll using Great Plains. We have the ability to fix any issues that come up quickly. It streamlines our departments that handle money into one unified system. This gives accounting and finance the overall picture in one system. With Integration Manager we have to worry less about taking time to hand key transactions. This cuts down on entry time and increase efficiency for our clerks. Incentivized Eric Mereen Application Systems Analyst Read full review	Cheap reliable system The labor module has caused some heartburn because of the overtime issue Would like a more open credit card processing system Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
