Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Dynamics GP

Dynamics GP was great when it was implemented, but the base works, but the chart of accounts vs. the dimensional chart of accounts. The user interface is dated. The new ones in Business Central and other modern ERP systems are much more modern and easier to use, with a streamlined user interface. The end of life for Dynamics GP is a major issue due to updates and security patches.

Pros

  • Management Reporter.
  • Accounts Payable.
  • Accounts Receivable.
  • Fixed Assets.
  • Purchase Order.
  • Sales Order.
  • Inventory

Cons

  • Chart of accounts.
  • Manufacturing.
  • User Interface.
  • No AI analysis.
  • Great accounting software but dated.
  • Semi accurate financials.
  • Year end closing is ok.
  • GL to subledger reconciliation they know it's an issue they created a report for.
Oh, it's a great product for that time period; it just works, but there are lots of minor issues and improvements that modern ERP systems do much better. From user interface to dimensional accounting to dashboards and cloud-based systems. It's end of life, so I don't recommend implementing this product anymore or using it, and get off of it soon!
Business Central wasn't out then. Nav, the predecessor, was out, but its user interface was dated until 2009, when the role-tailored client came out; it was much better afterwards. If your company has manufacturing, then Business Central is the way to go. It's unfortunate that Dynamics GP is end-of-life. So, time to switch to Business Central.

Would you buy Microsoft Dynamics GP again?

No

The chart of accounts structure is outdated. It's using a flat, perpetual structure. Log in is using SQL logins, not Windows authentication. There's a lot of GL to subledgers, eg, accounts payable, accounts receivable, fixed assets, and inventory that go out of balance easily. There are data issues because it uses batch-level posting, which can be interrupted. It doesn't work well over a VPN network.
