Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Dynamics GP
Our company started to use Dynamics GP as a supplemental General Ledger software to coincide with our POS software Horizon Retail Solutions. We had a nightly feed sent from Horizion into Dynamics GP to track our accounting in our general ledger. Unfortunately, Horizon did not have a complete set of journal entries, so we have moved on from Horizon and Dynamics GP. Currently we are still paying license fees to have access to historical GL detail, but we will probably not continue that indefinitely.
- As it's a Microsoft product, it's integrated closely with Excel. Every report can be easily exported to Excel.
- Dynamics GP has a broad suite of options. You can use it as a complete ERP system if desired.
- Lots of programs have native integration with Dynamics GP.
- There's initially a high learning curve for the software. The user interface is not very intuitive.
- I recommend hiring a consultant to help with integration and ongoing services. It's not a stand-alone product.
- Dynamics GP gave us the visual look we needed into our Fiscal performance.
We moved from Epicor Eagle N Series to Dynamics GP as an accounting solution for our new POS system. I believe Dynamics GP has more options to create and present financial statements for a large company with many regions and districts. However, because of the weakness of our POS software, we decided to switch back to Eagle N Series. Eagle does have the option to integrate into Dynamics GP, which I hope is something I can integrate in the future.
