Microsoft Dynamics GP is one of the ERP products in the Dynamics family.
This is the original Great Plains product acquired by Microsoft in 2001, and has strong financial management and HR capabilities.
Customers tend to be professional services, finance and public sector companies.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/mv/Dh/1TTNUV8GTFL7.pngMicrosoftSmall Business Friendly2019-07-18T02:50:13.951ZWe use Dynamics GP in our accounting/finance department. It is used for processing payroll, payables, invoicing/receivables, and reconciling our bank statements. It is convenient to have the software all in one application, and to not have recurring subscription charges.,The W2 printing at the end of the year is very easy. I love that it also prints out all those pesky health insurance tax forms!
Employee management is made very simple with all the information you can store in GP.
Processing payables is very easy with GP. It's perfect for multi-person processes, too. The AP clerk can input the invoices into the systems, and then the comptroller can approve & print the checks.,There's so many options and buttons that sometimes a simple task can seem very complicated.
It is not very intuitive at first. It takes some digging and messing around with before you know what you're doing.
You can have so many modules (HR, payroll, etc), and while they should talk to each other, sometimes the data gets out of sync.,8Anna MorganBest Accounting Software2019-07-12T21:42:50.488ZWe use Microsoft Dynamics GP for our accounting requirements.

The Sales, Sales Development and Sales Ops Department were using it. IT was great to organize leads, campaign, and stay on top of opportunity.

Microsoft Dynamics GP has easy to use built-in and custom reports, minimizing the need for outsourced reports generating software.
As our company grows, so do our needs. After 5 years, we see ourselves outgrowing the software because of bar-coding integration for inventory locations and production.,BatchMaster and Sage 500 ERP,Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Certify, SlackFRANCISCO OLIVEIRADynamics GP for Lease Accounting2019-02-11T15:47:42.431ZDynamics GP is currently being used by a few people in our organization to track the accounting for our business. It does a great job of recording leasing, repossession, and sales, along with our payroll and organizational expenses. Through the use of third-party software, we are able to integrate it into our leasing software and it does most of the accounting work for us.,Integration with other products.
Recording of leasing, repossession, and sales transactions.,I have not used a lot of accounting software in the past, just QuickBooks years ago, so as far as my knowledge goes is it easy enough to use and does the job it is intended to do.,8,Most of what goes into Dynamics at our organization is done automatically through other programs. It has been great for our general accounting needs, which can get complicated with the types of transactions we have.
It has been very useful in reporting specific metrics used to show company value to prospective investors.,QuickBooks ProAlan TillmanNew Hope GP Review2019-02-02T03:35:14.915ZA single group of 6 financial staff uses GP 2016 on a daily basis for GL data entry and processing.

Extremely complex table structures
Version upgrade complexity,3,Have had table issues that were very expensive for our Microsoft GP partner consultant to correct.
Was late on a maintenance/retainer payment deadline resulting in a substantial increase in annual payment that became locked in indefinitely.
In 2017 Microsoft raised their GP support incident rate from $169.00 to $499.00.
Cloud or externally hosted GP is extremely expensive and not cost effective for many businesses.,Sage 50 AccountingMike BiscegliaGP is good until it is no longer supported2019-07-11T22:40:20.628ZMicrosoft GP is used for all accounting and finance bookkeeping and processing. Only finance uses GP but the other departments use another medical billing software that gets imported into GP. GP access is limited because it is not necessary for nurses and staff to use outside of Finance. The problem it addresses is consolidating our financial records for reporting and audit purposes. GP is the foundation of financial record keeping and works well. My team would keep GP if we could but Microsoft is no longer supporting so we are switching in 2020.,Easy to navigate.
Recording transactions is clear.
Smart list feature is perfect for reporting.
Easy to switch to other entities.,Does not always communicate with other valuable programs.
The program can glitch and will sometimes freeze from time to time.
Is not supported in the future, so long term use is not an option.,9,Efficiency has been good for what it does include.
Easy navigation keeps it organized.

Vendor management,,Microsoft Dynamics 365 (formerly Microsoft Dynamics CRM), Experlogix CPQ, Microsoft TeamsVerified UserDynamics GP Can Be a Useful Accounting/GL Solution2019-07-12T01:40:34.101ZOur company started to use Dynamics GP as a supplemental General Ledger software to coincide with our POS software Horizon Retail Solutions. We had a nightly feed sent from Horizion into Dynamics GP to track our accounting in our general ledger. Unfortunately, Horizon did not have a complete set of journal entries, so we have moved on from Horizon and Dynamics GP. Currently we are still paying license fees to have access to historical GL detail, but we will probably not continue that indefinitely.,As it's a Microsoft product, it's integrated closely with Excel. Every report can be easily exported to Excel.
Dynamics GP has a broad suite of options. You can use it as a complete ERP system if desired.
Lots of programs have native integration with Dynamics GP.,There's initially a high learning curve for the software. The user interface is not very intuitive.
I recommend hiring a consultant to help with integration and ongoing services. It's not a stand-alone product.,8,Dynamics GP gave us the visual look we needed into our Fiscal performance.,Epicor Eagle N Series,Epicor Eagle N SeriesVerified UserMicrosoft Dynamics Review: Pretty Dynamic!2019-07-11T21:40:51.245ZIt was used by my department as a way to track invoices and get rid of paper approvals, saving us time, money, and making the office more efficient. This is great because it used to slow things down a lot having to print off forms and track signers down, or possibly have the papers get lost in the shuffle.,It keeps invoice tracking in one place.
It allows you to get signatures and track who needs to sign next.,There is a lot of clicking around and it's not super intuitive at first.,6,I think it's been a positive impact for saving us time, money, and creating a more efficient process.,Oracle CRM,BannerFlow, Skype for Business (formerly Lync), Smartsheet, MicroStrategy Analytics, Webex Meetings, Microsoft 365 BusinessVerified UserGreatPlains is well suited for medium to large businesses2019-05-24T22:26:44.202ZIt is being used across the whole organization—HR module, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Accounting/Finance, Management Reporter, etc.,It integrates really well with other software products such as CRM, Qlik Views, etc.
It has the ability to process a high volume of data, which can then be pulled up in useful reports through Smartlist or Management Reporter.
It makes processing a high volume of data easier through import templates and API/integration connectors to other programs.,From an audit perspective, it would be useful to be able to drill down from batches to individual transactions on all levels—especially sales postings. This is a large limitation with GP.,8,It has assisted in the merging of several entities to the same platform and therefore made consolidated reporting easier.,QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions,QlikView, Tableau DesktopVerified UserSturdy General Ledger2019-01-23T18:43:21.077ZMicrosoft Dynamics GP is used SOLELY by my company's accounting department. We primarily utilize the software's general ledger function/capabilities. Additionally, we utilize the purchasing/AP, fixed assets, bank reconciliation, and other modules. We leverage the solution in populating/maintaining our books (accounting) for our entire company. Similar to other general ledgers, MS Dynamics GP allows us to customize our chart of accounts to fit our business needs. Note, the software offers many modules that were are not currently using.,The solution we use is housed on our internal servers. As a result, we are capable of accessing the underlying tables via MS SQL Server. This allows us increased visibility to the data we have populated over the years.
I doubt this sets MS Dynamics GP apart from competitors, but the ability to "batch" journal entries for approval is very easy and straight forward.
Our independent consultants were able to build a "paste from MS Excel" integration, which we use to easily populate journal entries.
If there are ever any network "hang ups" during the posting of batches/journal entries, the system has safeguards in place to ensure that your books aren't sacrificed.
The Smartlist function is an easy way to build ad hoc reports.,The fact that the software is housed on internal servers could be seen as a "con". These days, moving to cloud-based solutions feels like the right move.
The reporting feature could use some updating.
Not sure if this is due to outside influences (our network), but the solution can run rather slow at times. It feels like it is slowed down the most when all users are currently active. Once again, this may be of no fault to MS Dynamics GP.
The ability to troubleshoot issues usually requires help from COSTLY independent consultants.,7,MS Dynamics GP has serviced our company well as a very sturdy general ledger.
We were not impressed with MS Dynamics GP's inventory/ordering capabilities. We were forced to shop for an outside solution, from which we batch/upload data into MS Dynamics GP.
We were not impressed with MS Dynamics GP's business intelligence tool. We decided to purchase an alternative tool. Fortunately, we were able to EASILY integrate the outside tool with MS Dynamics GP via MS SQL Server.,Sage Intacct,Vena Solutions, Expensify, Pipedrive, ADP TotalSource, DocuSignVerified UserGreat entry level ERP for your small/medium sized business2018-12-17T17:25:08.749ZWe use Microsoft Dynamics GP for our complete logistics / supply and chain process for one of the group's companies. It is fully connected with the financial module and it automatically creates a journal entry for every transaction that affects the general ledger. With the help of the Management Reporting, you can also create your own reports in a very simple way.,All the modules are connected. A document you post on the sales or purchase modules gets an immediate journal entry on the finance module.
The system is very adaptable, it can be integrated with other systems.
The reporting is user friendly. With Management Reporting you can customize your own reports.,Some functionalities of the system could be improved on a better time frame.
Getting support for the system can be expensive sometimes.
The cost of each user license is not the cheapest on the market.,8,We have the system integrated with a 3rd party logistic system, and we can know when the items have been delivered so we can initiate our invoicing process.
Microsoft Dynamics GP greatly reduces the time of communication between the departments in the company.
The users can spend more time analizing important information, and less time on routine tasks.,SAP Business One and Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne,Microsoft Dynamics 365 (formerly Microsoft Dynamics CRM), Microsoft Dynamics AX, Microsoft 365 BusinessGuillermo VillamizarMicrosoft Dynamics GP: Solid, respectable and cautious. Just like your accounting team!2018-12-12T22:56:52.930ZWe use Dynamics GP across our organization for finance and payroll. We have multiple entities (separate tax IDs) and users throughout the U.S. and Canada. It handles multi-company transactions, payrolls, and multiple currencies with ease. It is very flexible and has a robust library of third-party add-ons that can extend functionality. It also integrates well with outside systems, such as CRM or HRIS.,Multiple currencies
Flexible account structure
Multiple users,This is an on-premise application that requires enterprise database (SQL Server).
Client-server model can make it challenging to deploy across networks or geographies without additional technologies.
User interface is very functional but can appear dated at times.,9,Positive - consolidated financials save thousands annually
Negative - upgrades can be complicated and expensive. Plan for $20-$30k (or more) in time and materials from a reputable partner depending on the complexity of the upgrade and the size of your environment.
Positive - robust user community provides answers to many common questions, for free.,QuickBooks Pro,Mimecast Secure Email Gateway, F-Secure Protection Service for BusinessVerified UserGP is Generally Passable ;)2018-02-19T15:29:29.466ZWe use GP to manage our GL, AR and AP. We don't use it to its full potential as we use a home-brewed system to do our invoicing, which integrates to GP. We are currently looking to use it more fully to solve some problems (spreadsheets!) that we are facing.,Generally things flow pretty logically - if you don't have previous experience with GP you can figure it out.
Rock solid - we rarely have errors or unexplained weirdness pop up.
Handles our multicurrency environment just fine.,Might be a limitation of our older version, but it only allows us to run and have open one report at a time. Seems like a pointless limitation.
The documentation in some areas is less than clear. Thankfully, answers can usually be found with enough Googling.,7,Frankly, we haven't leveraged it properly, so this is a difficult question to answer. I'm sure our ROI could be much stronger.,XeroTravis Campbell, CPA, CAMicrosoft Dynamics GP is not my first choice2018-04-12T19:35:57.929ZMicrosoft Dynamics GP (MDGP) is being directly used by our accounting department for all our financial reporting. MDGP is being indirectly used by our Parts Department, Sales Department, and HR Department by having the information flow through exports into GP for all costing and customer billing purposes. I use it to input journal entries for payroll and journal entries for project costing twice weekly.,It doesn't allow for easy access as it has restrictions placed on users. This allows for inputted information to retain it's integrity.
It can be scheduled to import or export information from other systems cutting down on time spent configuring data.,It is not very user-friendly.
Very costly especially for customer support.
Processes are complex with too many steps for completion.,5,Ceridian Dayforce,Ceridian Dayforce, Microsoft Office 2016Verified UserMicrosoft Dynamics GP2018-01-29T18:35:58.292ZWe primarily use the Financial, Sales, Purchasing modules. We easily integrated Microsoft Dynamics GP with our in-house equipment rental and event reservation system to speed up sales invoicing and PO processing to ensure accuracy. We rely on GP for all of our financial reporting, fixed asset management, and project job costing. We've been using GP since 2014.,Integration with Microsoft Excel for reporting and analysis
Easy to navigate
Great tools to pull and review financial information,I love that they're starting to listen to the users more and incorporate changes based on what we ask for.
There are a few quirky things but nothing that stands in the way of getting the job done.
I would love to be able to control the size of the text within the entry windows.,10,Efficiency from easy integration with other systems
Reporting and budgeting have improved,mas90, solomon and QuickBooks Pro,Paychex Accounting OnlineVerified UserDynamics GP for Manufacturing2018-01-22T17:34:49.699ZWe use Dynamics GP mostly as an accounting software to count for our raw materials and finished good products that are made and sold. We capture the cost of goods, customers, goods sold, etc. We utilize the system for manufacturing orders as a way to capture the cost of goods. Our customer service team places orders in GP through customer accounts. We also use a lot of custom reports to get additional information about goods and materials we have on hand and for planning for manufacturing and material ordering.,Supply chain management - keeps track of materials and goods on hand and the demand planner is simple and easy to use.
Manufacturing - material requirements planning is always keeping tabs on the inventory and what may be needed; bill of materials is easy to use; manufacturing order processing gives us an easy way to track materials consumed.,Certain areas can only be accessed by one individual at a time (Material Requirements Planning) which can cause some issues when an individual leaves the screen open and then another person is unable to work on something if needed.
Reporting is not intuitive. It can be difficult to find what you are looking for in a report.
When updating items (ex: if you discontinue an item) you have to go through several different screens to actually have the item discontinued and removed from planning.,6,Positive impact - it empowers our users to research inventory and dig deeper to find information
It is not intuitive and difficult to use until you have learned the system over several months.,Microsoft Dynamics CRMVerified UserMicrosoft GP for your financial needs2017-12-12T18:32:47.701ZWe use Microsoft Dynamics GP to manage all finances, payables and receivables, for every department and company. It helps us maintain a clear and concise location for all accounting information, as well as enables us to research financial items and examine our spending trends and anomalies.,A really nice user interface that allows individuals who may not be familiar with financial platforms to easily learn processes.
Catches mistakes made in payables and receivables uploads so you can correct them before they become a problem.
Quick access to uploaded journal entries so you can look into problems quickly.,At times, GP slows down because of a large upload that is occurring. It would be nice if there could be a way to fix this.
A way to void payments and transaction entries at the same time so there are less steps.
A clear way to see who entered what in transaction entries and JE's so we don't have to run an IDS every time.,8,We've been able to track travel expenses to see where we are overspending and cut costs.
It is the sole way we record all financials and has really been a fairly simple interface to use.,KiSSFLOW,15,3Catherine MillerMicrosoft Dynamics GP - Great for Small Businesses!2017-11-08T20:17:37.750ZIt is used across the entire organization. One of the problems that I have experienced is that it does not allow for users to delete previous entries into cards in direct deposit, and other areas like deductions. The accounts or information just shows as "inactive".Also, it does not allow users to delete previous supervisor names and we are left with a list of names of managers that have been promoted, moved to a different department or are no longer with the company.,I like that I can switch between employees when there are different windows open.
I like that I can run various reports and save them for future viewing.
I like the customization of GP and how it fits our organizations needs.,The tax data entry is unnecessarily difficult.
Having to click save and enter hire date and reason for change after each entry is very time consuming.,7Verified UserMicrosoft Dynamics GP - Improved information2017-08-24T19:07:17.701ZMS Dynamics is primarily used by the accounting department. It is a huge upgrade from our previous Green Screen DOS based software. Smartlist and the Excel button are some of our favorite features.,Get information out though Smart List -- super easy.
Import large data such as purchase card detail.
Copy and paste short journal entries.,Sometimes system gets hung up and takes a while to troubleshoot.,10,It has increased accuracy and efficiency because of the ease of import and export.
It has improved audit papers.
We feel that GP was a great investment.,,ProphixVerified UserGP - Solid, Scalable, Secuirty2017-03-21T15:50:02.320ZMicrosoft Dynamics GP is our accounting platform.
