"The fixed assets, payroll, the data module, and user-friendliness are most valuable."
"You can track everything from beginning to end quite easily."
"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"Many of our customers are migrating to the cloud rather than staying on-premises."
"It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. "
"Dynamics GP could be improved in terms of its usability and modernization."
"The biggest problem with GP is that it's not cloud based and it doesn't lend itself to subscription licensing. But Microsoft wants everything in the cloud and licensed on a subscription basis.Even tThough GP can be deployed on a cloud server, but basically, it's a Windows based product. It uses the older model and companies purchase the program and pay a 16-18 sixteen- eighteen percent annual renewal fee but Microsoft wants everybody to pay monthly or annual renewal fees on a subscription basis."
"It requires a lot of expertise to implement."
"With payroll, the payroll that they have offers US or Canadian tax. However, here, our tax payments are different from the US and Canada. It is very difficult to put in our tax tables. We need some customization. It should be readily available for any country to use according to their tax implications. The system should know different types of tax regimes around the world so that it can accommodate. It's a little bit rigid on that."
"Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications."
"There should also be extra redundancy when posting to modules. We use different sets of books such as CashBook and CheckBooks therefore if I select the wrong one the solution allows the transaction to just pass without warning."
