Dynamics GP

The lack of support has been frustrating. We have to jump through hoops to get help on any issue that arises.

this is litterly the worst software application I have ever used (by far). There is not one single redeeming quality. It gives me significant stress on a regular basis. It is EXTREMELY slow. The screens are not intuitive and contain extra clicks. Often times questions to “answer” with only one option. It will LOSE the information you put in often requiring extra work. I can’t say enough bad things about this.

very useful easy to use

expensive

We got the solution up and running on our servers and it is working very well for us with no complaints

It’s costing me a fortune and it feels like the system is overkill. The sophistication is beyond what I need

Dynamics GP! the best ERP solution on the market. We have been using this platform in our corporation to perform some critical operations ranging from financial management, accounting, sales to service management. I would recommend businesspersons to try this platform if they have the quest of fulfilling some of the obligations like payroll, human resource, and reporting.

I’ve been using this system since 1993 and it is great for producing financial statements for small professional services companies like mine.

We have 35 databases and in order to provide reporting we need to bring them into 4-5 databases which is costly. It lacks a strong budgeting package

We aren’t happy with the support we get with the solution and we aren’t happy with their customer service in general.

I think that the front end of the application and user interface is not that friendly. It doesn’t feel like it is logical to use and you have to use a lot of steps to do something. It doesn’t provide the kind of accountability and information we need and it is not that easy to use.

Honestly, we are currently a third party user of Intacct. The vendor we chose offers the same accounting software and it was easier for us to stick with it. But, the software itself is very robust and offers a lot of customization and reporting options. In addition, our vendor offers the ability for us to offer view only to our directors up to a certain amount at no cost. Also, the pricing with our vendor was within our budget range.

Our company uses this software to track hours worked by salaried employees.

We haven’t gotten the product yet to use but we selected it mostly for integration with our current software and it was the most robust system

It seems when Microsoft created Great Plains, they realized they were really good at accounting but needed help with other functionalities from 3rd party providers. Great Plains is stable but not as flexible with its capabilities compared to our 3rd party manufacturing program. It is a good program for those that like the out-of-the-box feel of a program.

Dynamics GP handles all of our accounting functions across our department to include A/R, A/P, Gen Ledger, and reporting. In conjunction with Management Report, we’re able to close timely and produce well-designed and consistent reports for all stakeholder needs.

Difficult program to navigate in. Need a lot of support to have the system perform the functions unique to our business. Not as user friendly as we would have preferred.

Not fully integrated yet as we are still in the process of doing it yet. However, the biggest freedom is the name-brand. We are familiar with the name and received a recommendation from someone I worked with for quite a while. We feel in good hands, and the hold up on implementation has really just been due to a lack of manpower.

Just getting set up on it. Still in the stumbling stage.

There are things we like and dislike. It was quite tough for us to implement, that was the most important bad quality we found. We still don’t use the full capabilities of it. We kind of scaled back some of our operations, so we do not have good or bad to say about.

Too early to tell. Still in beginning stages and building reports. The fact that you can customize things the way you want it is key for us as a company. That is all I know right now, I am hoping to more to come in phase 2 as we get customer information uploaded.

There are a lot of features in GP 2016 that make sense. For example: entering AP, Invoices that are dated the previous month are not allowed to be entered into a closed period. We have to okay two windows to get past this. Not a huge problem, but should not even be an issue in AP. It can be fixed, but at a price. Kind of crazy to be charged for something that should not happen (common sense, invoices can be from previous months). Also, two functions that were added, ($), you have to have authorization to use unless you are management or above. Other “under management” need to access reports and enter Journals. Should be a high level access unless the company requires and then the individual company can implement on their own.

We upgraded to GP2013. The process was simple for us. A couple areas I thought were going to be tricky (migrating to Management Reporter and Econnect) were not as painful as I thought they would be.

We use Dynamics GP primarily for its Finance and Purchasing functions, but it can offer so much more. It is a truly dynamic software in every sense of the word, and can integrate with a multitude of other software programs. This will surely take your accounting system management to the next level.

MS GP allows for customization, integrates with our system though various plugins, reporting is overly complicated. This can be over come if you have programmer to write reports, or purchase reporting software to simplify the process. Reconciliations are ok as long as it is a bank account only, forget credit card and other financial tools that one would typically need to reconcile. This too is over come by an expensive add on.

The software will reduce our time and increase our accuracy for financial reporting by holding greater amounts of information and increasing our reporting capabilities.

On the downside, the ease of attaching backup documents directly to journal entries does not appear to be a slick process.

Dynamics GP is a full-featured accounting suite with so many customizable modules it will make your head spin. Once you get everything the way you like it, its a fantastic application that will speed up your accounting department and decrease human error.

Moved from QuickBooks to GP without conversion of most of our history. Our Vendor made the conversion smooth and setups, with their help, were easy and smooth! Reports are extremely easy to setup and allow greater control over financial position. We are now reporting not only for our locations, but departments within our locations across the state. Great step for us!

We just implemented the software December 2nd. We haven’t fully gotten involved with all it will do but am “LOVING IT” so far. We were using a very old and outdated system previously.
