Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Dynamics AX

Microsoft Dynamics AX is being used as our ERP system by order entry, production, finance, procurement and other departments across the whole organization.
  • It is a stable software that generally performs well.
  • It is integrated well with Microsoft Excel with relative ease of downloading tables, reports, and queries into Excel.
  • Adaptable to meet business needs.
  • Item master is comprehensive.
  • Our current version (2009) has a complex security setup.
  • Our older version lacks some in innovation and features.
  • Our older version cannot share reports and queries across companies.
  • Positive impact based on a consistent ERP system across our companies
  • Positive impact based on improved processes.
  • Positive impact based on a shared chart of accounts and other dimensions to assist in streamlining accounting and reporting.
Microsoft Dynamics AX is well suited for a comprehensive ERP system for a small to mid-size organization. It is a solid, base core system with well-designed architecture. From the overview of the upgrade, it contains additional functionality and features. It may be less appropriate for very large, complex organizations. I would not recommend for use as a reporting and/or analysis software.
