Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Dynamics AX

This is the main ERP system of the company.

All departments of the company use Microsoft Dynamics AX, including Sales, Sales Operations, Sales Planning, Logistics, Accounting, Finance, Production.

  • Microsoft Dynamics AX can export data directly from the system to an Excel spreadsheet just by a click.
  • Microsoft Dynamics AX allows us to switch entity while still keeping our customized view of display.
  • Microsoft Dynamics AX is easier for FX conversion.
  • Microsoft Dynamics AX has all data, however, converting data to a report needs to go through via another solution. We used Sales Cube (very slow and not user friendly in settings), then we switched to Anaplan.
  • Bringing new fields into the current data set is sometimes confusing.
  • It would be better if we could schedule some daily refresh data saved automatically from Microsoft Dynamics AX to the public drive by end-users themselves.
  • Microsoft Dynamics AX helped us to get data faster then with our old ERP
  • Microsoft Dynamics AX's ability on getting reports might need to improve
  • Getting data cross-department is not that easy, i.e., we want to exclude sales tax in the credit hold report from a Sales Department's point of view.

Microsoft Dynamics AX is more user friendly compared to our old ERP system.

With the growth of the company, the old way to generate from the old ERP system is too slow and not competent enough.

We need to get the data as fast as possible.

We need to get the consolidated data in an easier way.

That is why we switched to Microsoft Dynamics AX.

In the past we used ADS as the company's ERP system, the data extract was super complicated.

It is saved on a public drive, as a txt file, and then needs to be cut manually.

With the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics AX, it is so easy for us to get the raw data extracted just by clicking Ctrl+G.
