Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Dynamics AX

We use AX as our main system to manage logistics, purchasing, sales, accounting, reporting, controlling, production and quality. AX is our main system because all the company processes are traced inside. We create orders, trace production; accept material for quality point of view and we generate invoices and manage general accounting transactions.
  • Has an easy interface for users so training and learning is fast
  • The module organization allows an easy integration between processes
  • It's easy to be customized both on the interface and in adapting the processes to business needs
  • Self-reporting for users - the available report seldom fits the users need and often needs to be customized
  • Definition of standard process workflows - this implies there is too much flexibility
  • The available documentation, manuals or instructions are very rare and not well designed
  • MRP run time is too high
  • Improved supplier aging visibility
  • Improved financial and controlling visibility
I found a smaller cost in AX and higher flexibility in process definition and in features customization
Well suited in an organization with a clear set of internal processes already mapped and consolidated. You cannot count on the well-defined preset processes in the system. AX is flexible and if a company doesn't have clear processes there is a risk of losing control.
