Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Dynamics GP

We use an older version of Microsoft Dynamics GP in our org for the bookkeeping and accounting aspect by our accounting team. One of the problems is that our maintenance is out of date, and the renewal fees are outrageously expensive for the small companies like ours. Since we are a smaller company we are able to make the software work for us, but there are many manual processes that would make things like updating our product prices easier and reporting automated if we were able to update our back maintenance.

Pros

  • Accounting Reports
  • Tracking of product sales and orders
  • Shipping packages and invoicing
  • tax reporting

Cons

  • Microsoft Dynamics GP could use some improvement on the fees it charges for maintenance or purchasing new licenses
  • Providing updates to older versions to allow for integrations and importing updates
  • The outdated maintenance does not allow us to easily bulk import price increases without using specialty coding provided by our engineers to complete these increases on the back end
  • Positive impact is that even though our maintenance is out of date we are still able to submit all the necessary tax forms
  • We can still run our required reports
  • It is a bit more difficult to customize reports
  • A negative impact is the fact that only our coder can bulk update our product prices, otherwise they all have to be done individually
Overall usability of the older model is not quite so user friendly for the basic bookeeper, but at an accountants level we can generate all the necessary reports and create Sales Orders, Purchase orders and invoices - though it is a bit redundant to enter the sales and purchase orders separately instead of being able to convert a sales order directly to a puchase order by applying a price book like the newer versions can.

Do you think Microsoft Dynamics GP delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Microsoft Dynamics GP's feature set?

Yes

Did Microsoft Dynamics GP live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Microsoft Dynamics GP go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Microsoft Dynamics GP again?

No

For our company specifically we are able to workaround the imports using trained coding technicians, but if you are not a larger corporation the maintenance fees year over year can be quite expensive
