Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Dynamics GP

We 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.
  • Frankly, we haven't leveraged it properly, so this is a difficult question to answer. I'm sure our ROI could be much stronger.
The product has enough modules and third-party add-ons that you can pretty much fit it to fit any use case. However, having used cloud-based Xero accounting for another task, I have come to appreciate the functionality and convenience of a well-executed cloud solution. My understanding is that GP's cloud solution is to have your instance hosted by someone else, which strikes me as a bit pointless.
