Dynamics 365 Business Central Erfahrungen

Sehr gut,....und sehr teuer

Kommentare: Man sollte sich im Vorfeld schon ziemlich genau mit Business Central beschäftigen. Ausserdem sollte das Budget anfangs sehr großzügig ausfallen. Die Auswahl eines guten Systemhauses ist unabdingbar.
Wenn alles gut läuft, bekommt man dann aber eine Software, welche im täglichen Einsatz voll zu überzeugen weiss.

Vorteile:

Mit dem passendem Systemhaus, guten Nerven und einem üppigen Budget lässt sich ein begeisterndes ERP zaubern. Anpassungen und Optimierungen sind nahezu keine Grenzen gesetzt,...für mehr Produktivität bei allen Abläufen. Wir konnten in allen Bereichen enorme Zeitersparnis erzielen. Die Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit ist ebenfalls überragend. Darüber hinaus arbeiten wir wesentlich präziser. Kunden, Lieferanten und Partner sind begeistert.

Nachteile:

"Out of the box" geht hier gar nichts. Nahezu alles muss angelegt, eingerichtet und definiert werden. Darüber hinaus fällt es anfangs sehr schwer, den Umfang und die Systematik von Business Central einzuschätzen. Wir kamen von einem "geschlossenen" System, bei dem man nach Eingabe der Stammdaten eigentlich direkt loslegen konnte. Dies funktioniert hier nicht. Im Ergebnis führt das zu viel Stress und hohen Kosten für die Entwicklung. Die ersten Wochen und Monate nach dem "live" sind echt nicht lustig.

ERP-System mit Stärken und Schwächen

Vorteile:

Die Benutzeroberfläche ist modern und sehr intuitiv - so wie man es von Microsoft gewohnt ist.Das erleichtert die Implementierung und Akzeptanz bei den Usern.Es handelt sich um ein integriertes System, d.h. sowohl die Buchhaltung, Lagerverwaltung u.v.a. befindet sich in einem System.

Nachteile:

Wir sind ein sehr produktionslastiges Unternehmen. In diesem Bereich offenbaren sich doch einige Schwächen. So gibt es beispielsweise im Standard keinen arbeitsgangbezogenen Ausschuss und die Zeitwirtschaft ist nahezu nicht vorhanden.

A review of Dynamics 365 Business Central

Kommentare: Overall very satisfied with the service and want to continue this in future as the interface is very cinvenient to use.

Vorteile:

The best option available in Dynamic 365 business central is very flexible planning and forecasting. Fast, consistent and very smooth access to the data and assigning it to the team is very easy.

Nachteile:

At sometimes it losses the connection with server and got stuck but I think in updated versions this will be sorted out.

Best ERP software so far

Kommentare: The procurement process has been made easier.
Our asset management is now on point.
The human resource management especially the payroll management bit is awesome.

Vorteile:

Dynamics 365 BC has a variety of tools including the procurement module, human resource module, and the finance module. It has a interface that is user friendly and easy to use. It's workflows are outstanding and carrying out an activity from one end to another is made easy. With the workflows, at least a track can be made on the movement of activities carried out in the system. The ability to generate reports is a plus which is also easy. Another good feature is that it can be customized to accommodate the user needs. It is also compatible with Microsoft Excel such that one can export and import data between the two.

Nachteile:

At first, you will need some practice on how to manage it to avoid messing up with your crucial data. Another issue is that running many processes at once can slow it down and this will force you to wait longer.

Kommentare: I have worked in the supply chain for 5 years now and have experience with 3 different ERP's. Our old ERP was limiting, though it was also fairly straight forward. The biggest issue seemed to be how incredibly date sensitive how ever without requiring dates at the same time. This pushed the change to a new ERP and Microsoft NAV was chosen through their partner company Just Foods. A truly bizarre system, the flow of documentation through the program makes little sense and over complicates what would normally be easy transactions. For instance Purchase Orders follow this document flow - First the purchase order is created once you receive your order, a warehouse receipt document is created and received in. However, once it is received in the warehouse, the receipt document disappears and becomes a posted receipt document (both have completely different document numbers that don't connect to each other). At this point your original Purchase order has been changed to reflect what ever was received in, and you have to have a second column to view what you originally ordered. Otherwise, figuring out if you over or under received is difficult at best. Now once the invoice comes in and is posted against the posted warehouse document, your purchase order disappears. The only place your purchase order exists in its original form is the in Purchase order Archive, which was never mentioned to us during implementation, forcing us to call Just Foods later on and pay for their customer service. This same, strange flow of documents, that are essentially intermediary documents only existing to complete a transaction, over complicate what should be a straight forward shipping and receiving process. There are some other basic functionality issues, like figuring out what day you actually shipped or received an item. The easiest way to figure that out seems to require access to the warehouse functionality, which you may or may not want people to have. We get a lot of errors where the tables are locked with other users, and you are just stuck until the report or other person finishes up. The Dimensions on lines can mysteriously disappear, even though the G/L Code and Department code show as filled out in the order. Our MRP has never worked correctly, so in general, we are forced to use Excel to put together our production schedule. All in all, its a sub-par program that you can tell is 5 or 6 different original programs that have been slapped together to try an resemble an ERP system. Now having said all that, obviously I am looking at this from a supply chain perspective as it is what I do. Perhaps on the accounting end it has some ease of use, but due to how difficult it is to understand on the operations end, the accounting rarely comes out correct due to faulty information in the system. On the positive side there do seem to be a million different ways to do the same thing in NAV, and many of the built in reports are extremely useful assuming that the information in the system is correct.

Complete, robust and adaptable to your country

Kommentare: My experience has been very good, I think that you must consider this option and better if you're on a Microsoft environment.

Vorteile:

This is a complete and robust ERP that brings adaptability to start working based on your BI.

Nachteile:

Not adding common thing as a default feature, things that you must develop to keep the things running.

Pretty easy to navigate, but the screen formatting needs adjusted

Kommentare: We use the collections module, sales, purchasing, service cost, job cost, subcontractor module, and more. We use purchase orders and 3 way matching and use dynamics for a wide range of use.

Vorteile:

You can easily adjust titles to be in red or have distinctive features to stand out, but it is not always easy to do on the financial module and you cannot do it when using features like smartlist.

Nachteile:

The inability to generate certain reports (you have to set them up yourself) which can be VERY time consuming.

A good alternative to organize and grow your business.

Kommentare: Here are some of the specific benefits I've experienced since using Dynamics 365:• Greater productivity and profitablity• Improved forecasting and analysis• Effective monitoring of inputs and outputs.• Easy to use interface that can be accessed from anywhere, anytime• Optimized workflow• Easy access to customer data

Vorteile:

I like Microsoft Dynamics since it synchronizes very well with the office suite, it has helped me increase productivity and profitability. It offers analysis and reporting tools to make forecasts, as well as the ability to monitor the inputs and outputs of the projects I am in charge of.Dynamics 365 allows me to get the requirements from my clients as well as my supplier partners with ease and has helped me create a perfect wokflow for my business. Additionally, Dynamics 365 allows me to onboard new clients, collect and save their data, and easily access it when I need it.

Nachteile:

A negative point is its price, it is expensive. And synchronization with other platforms is dificult, from my point of view it should be more open for better interaction with other software.

Dynamic 365 business central review

Kommentare: We had some problems due to wrong setting, after the intention by the customer service, we went through a training process, then when could handle and management the software to drive the business with more effectivity.

Vorteile:

It is perfect solution for small scale business management.Based on it cloud option, we can link operations for more effectiveness and performance.The software have a limited trial versionThe dashboard can give all statistics and the final income or loss at Anny moment Allez powerful management of the stocks

Nachteile:

To customize the software s not easy at all. Tables cannot me modif.Cloud need to be updated ,it takes too long handle the way to Link operations.

Full of unrealised potential

Vorteile:

I've evaluated NAV for other roles and now I have been using the product I am convinced that it is a very powerful product when configured correctly. It has options for many roles and the ability to configure the system exists but is limited by design.

Nachteile:

Very high cost support and difficult nature of upgrades is a real turn off. Each version upgrade is treated as a new deployment. Lacks the ability to make even the most basic changes without partner assistance or developer licence. While the product has a lot of potential I would be reluctant to upgrade an old version as I feel there are other products out there which can do the same job with a much more reasonable price tag. Value for money is the main reason I have marked this application down.

AP Clerk

Vorteile:

Very user friendly. Very easy to learn and master. Also great reports.

Nachteile:

There were many times the servers were down and I would lose 1-3 hours of productivity.

Keeps everything in once place.

Vorteile:

Dynamics allowed me to stay organised. as D-365 has many tools , with all the variety of plug-ins, setting up automation and communication takes some work but it is really easy to see how my pipeline is working and have a single view of the company in one single dashboard.

Nachteile:

it would have been great if it had a bit more features . i think that the reporting is the Achilles heel of the platform, it's a time-consuming task and not very straight forward as done in other platforms

Best Modern ERP Solution

Vorteile:

I joined AL FANAR Electricals Co. KSA -in 2003, it has been decided to replace ERP system with NAV, Tec.Support was provided by AL FANAR IT an affiliate company who became golden partnership with Microsoft later and provided the system if Gulf Market, the implementation was very successful, early versions of NAV in 2003 was famous as (Navision Attain) at that time, the system provided a splendid AR, AP, and inventory reports and controls, was helpful in regional trading credit controls and manufacturing process, in 2006 the company upgraded the software to NAV5 and we learned a lot about setup requirements, Posting groups, general business posting groups, sales and system generated transactions setup accounts and matrix, Exr. Var and global dimensions etc..., in 2007 I joined Gulf Capital KSA the company management recommended NAV at that time tec. support provided by (NEWWAY) and I was assigned as a project manager, later in 2009 I joined ROTANA Media Group who recommended same ERP as well. now new versions of NAV are available with business intelligence tools and some additional great features, I expect this fast positive evolvement of MS Dynamics will make them first Market Choice in a short time. I used several softwares before and after NAV like (Dolphin, Oracle, Klipper, and others..) from my experience what I like most in NAV and make it remarkable are the following : - SQL Server which provides flexible opened platform allow users to move to any information details and jump between templates they want from anywhere in the system to get information rather than closing screens and reopening another, other systems cannot provide this Dynamic feature. - Reasonable and Logical controls of the system over transactions complying with exact financial requirements, other systems have nonsense controls in useless areas and gaps in other critical areas, and stand hopeless needing customization for an axiomatic small things. - Easy and Smart setup requirements and users profiles access. - Huge bank of ready reports provided by global MSD teams and partnership - Friendly user = easy training - Easy setup of financial reporting BS, Income statements , cash flow , Budgeting and variances any other because it leaves to user to choose , items lines name , tagging accounts, dimensions needed cost centers or business units , even user can add the equations of some financial statements lines ! - Easy customization and easy editing of all tables screens - High Compatibility with Excel MS Office. - Reasonable cost with complete business solutions package and including project management, Human resources, Cash Management etc..

Nachteile:

No Disadvantages or defaults in my opinion if implementation requirements are clear and correct and finance knows exactly controls, processes outputs they need. everything is there in this system.

Great ERP software with great integrations

Kommentare: I have been working with Dynamics NAV and Business Central for almost 4 years now, as a technical consultant. I install and implement BC on regular basis.
Also I support customers with technical issues around Business Cental, which I love to do.
The possibilities with BC are endless.

Vorteile:

As a technical consultant, who installs and implements Microsoft Dynamics Business Central I find the integrations with all Microsoft's Azure applications a big plus. Seamless integration with Microsoft's Flow, PowerApps, Outlook, etc work very well.

Nachteile:

There USED to be some disadvantages of Business Central, because for a long time Microsoft wasn't clear what course they would go. But now the course is set to the cloud (Azure) and I think that is the only way to go.

Power the growth of your business with "Microsoft Dynamics 365 business central"

Kommentare: I have enjoyed working with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business central ,it's easy to use and the APIs which have made it easier to customize it with our needs .The customer support is amazing both on call and in person.

Vorteile:

Microsoft Dynamics 365 business central is a very great product , it's easy to use since it has a great user interface .The deployment is easy and took a very short time .It has inpremises and cloud based functionality which has enabled work flexibility.

Nachteile:

The initial purchasing cost is relatively high mostly to the small enterprises.The system keeps on freezing whereby delaying our customers.

Thomas Review

Kommentare: It does what we need it to do, but there are a lot of improvements that could be made.

Vorteile:

It has all the accounting functions that we need, and does have the availability for consolidated accounting

Nachteile:

It's not a very user friendly product. There are multiple gaps like requiring me to redesign reports if we add new chart of accounts. You can't run consolidated AR and AP reports. Microsoft needs to give it some attention to make it more competitive as I believe sooner or later we'll switch.

Needed an upgraded accounting system

Vorteile:

This system offers a lot of reporting options. It helps us keep track of multiple businesses in one system.

Nachteile:

The initial set-up and use of this system was a little difficult. The training was not as thorough as it could have been by the BC team. Once we received actual system use it was easier to kind of train ourselves on the system features and the best ways to make the system work for us.

Property Management for Dynamics NAV is a great solution for Real Estate Companies

Kommentare: Better collaboration, higher transparency, less redundant data and work.

Vorteile:

With PMX Property Management we can manage almost our entire operations with this solution. We especially like that the solution provides a very stong and flexible accounting base with a lot of reporting tools available.

Nachteile:

As with every integrated solution people have to adapt to the fact that all information is in one data base afterwards. The learning process for everybody that one's actions / entries influence all others takes some time.

Navision....not a platform you want to work with

Kommentare: Avoid this one.

Vorteile:

This product was relatively inexpensive for an enterprise... Migrations to newer versions were problematic and ended up requiring developer support.

Nachteile:

Upgrades always broke things. Need a dev to add new fields. Not an intuitive application. Support for it from MS is non-existent.

No-vision

Vorteile:

It creates elaborate reports. It’s similar to excel. So if you’re an excel addict and want excel on steroids this is for you.

Nachteile:

It can’t seem to add and subtract correctly when you edit quotes. It changes prices mysteriously. Wish it was more reliable.

Used this daily for years

Vorteile:

Navision has tons of options and features making it very easy to get specific reporting in almost any way imaginable.

Nachteile:

It could take a while to learn how to use it. There are so many different ways to do things that it can become confusing at first.
