(1-5 of 5)Very good value for money product
- GP’s native integration with Microsoft Office, and other commonly used business tools like SharePoint and Outlook, makes it easy for businesses to further centralize their tasks
- The platform can also be deployed in a number of ways, giving businesses flexibility when it comes to how they choose to store their Dynamics data and how they access the system.
- it’s a proven product, having been in use since the early 2000s. It also has the benefit of Microsoft’s trusted name, and the familiar look and feel of other Microsoft products.
- Server maintenance costs and hardware costs of Dynamics GP are very high.
- We do not get advanced features such as data analysis and mobile accessibility
- We do not get warehousing and budgeting functionalities

Decade long user of Microsoft Dynamics GP
- 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.
- search functionality could be improved within native GP functionality - we use Rockton Smartfill to improve search capabilities.

- We have used GP for 10 years which is significantly longer than we most software tools.
- Bank rec, EFT for payables and Smartfill have significantly reduced processing time for our accounting team.
- Safepay reduces our fraud risk
5 people within the Finance team use GP for all general ledger activities and for Receivables and Payables.
An additional 20 employees use GP to review time and expense billing to our clients.
- Simplicity of exporting smartlists directly to Excel in order to quickly analyze data
- Ability to quickly import large journal entries as well as other data using integration manager
- Printable manuals make it easy when you want to look for how to do something specific
- Reporting and the ability to export reports to Excel; like a historical AP or AR aging; inventory reports
- Regarding inventory management GP is only adequate to support a distribution type of business or the most basic high level manufacturing
- It cannot be used in an advanced manufacturing environment; our company currently uses a third party inventory and planning module and will be searching for a replacement; as controller of the company I cannot defend the opinions from our Operations group that GP cannot handle our business without requiring a third party interface

- It's a good basic easy to use software and we are pushing it to our Hong Kong and China business units (the entities that don't 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.
