Microsoft Dynamics GP vs SAP ERP comparison

"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily update and maintain accurate data across all aspects of our operations."

"The system is easy to customize and has user-friendly access. ​"

"I haven't used it a lot, but the best thing is that the processes are very detailed."

"It is a tried and tested ERP system which if used correctly, is definitely a very good program for managing all aspects of a business from customer sales, and receivables management, to payable management and finance reporting. So, it's super critical for any mid-sized company."

"The solution is easy to use and not complicated. Also, it is easy to get trained on. Also, there is good information available on the web. The GP community is quite broad and there are many blogs online."

"You can track everything from beginning to end quite easily."

"The solution offers integrations with other software as well. We have integration with Microsoft Office where we can do Word and Excel, etc."

"The solution is easy to use."

"Heavy integration is available with all types of systems, and we use it."

"It's a good ERP system."

"It is a stable solution...Our company has experienced a return on investment using the solution."

"I like the solution's ability to close plans and resource requirements in deals."

"I like SAP's premade workflows for various areas, such as supply chain, procurement, or finance."

"The most valuable features are the ease of installation and the MM functionality."

"The best thing that SAP ERP has is the extensive coverage of processes for every field and business unit such as procurement, inventory, financials, asset management, plant maintenance, and production. We can cover up to 99.9% processes of our organization, which is the best thing about this solution. It also has a very good capability to integrate with other applications. The security and authorization level of SAP ERP is very high. No other solution can match this level."

"The solution has a lot of good integrated modules."

"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."

"Dynamics GP could be improved in terms of its usability and modernization."

"As for room for improvement, they have different modules, project and analytical accounting, but it will be good to have that kind of part in the standard package. To have that additional reporting functionality where you can add an attribute or something, which you can report again. So you can analyze the cost by not just natural accounts but also by a project, without having to go through another module edit on top and then the other module edit on top. The more modules you add, sometimes it doesn't work that well. Additionally, it would be easier to have the solution on the cloud. That's our consideration. We are trying to move all our systems to the cloud, and GP is one of them that we are going to move in the next couple of years. I would rate the solution seven or seven point five out of ten."

"Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications."

"What could be improved is the functionality of Dynamics GP because it requires a lot of development by the programmers and the company in order to integrate into a solution."

"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."

"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."

"It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. ​"

"License fees are too high."

"Functionality could be improved."

"It could always be cheaper. There is no doubt about it."

"Poor ergonomics."

"It needs to incorporate the new features from the SAP S/4HANA release, such as, utilizing data processes, which is quite nice."

"Though SAP ERP's FICO module is a strong part of the product, its integration capabilities can be made stronger."

"In the next release, I would like to see more technical integration for directly designed solutions on behalf of the selling process so that you can design solutions and not have to use ten or more other tools to get the solution for selling."

"It needs a more complete guidance with complete processes. Right now, it only has single transactions."

"I would say that the pricing is moderate, not cheap, and not expensive. There are many more expensive ERPs than GP, and there are less expensive as well, so it is moderately priced."

"Its pricing and licensing are high. Of course, we all know that it is Microsoft."

"I think the tool is competitively priced and it's more of a one-time investment with a low annual renewal fee."

"The solution's price is steep."

"It is an affordable solution."

"In comparison to other ERP systems, the pricing is not necessarily inexpensive, but it can be considered more cost-effective."

"​We evaluated some local products, because of the pricing, but this product has better features and support."

"For us, in our local currency, it costs us around 5 million Botswanan Pulas a year. It's quite a lot of money."

"The solution is expensive and is best-suited for large enterprises."

"It could always be cheaper. They don't have a very easy model of licensing, but large entities would get the upper hand in negotiating the license."

"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. SAP ERP is a costly tool."

"When you have a solution that is stable, reliable, and has a high performance as this solution, the price is going to be expensive. However, when you evaluate the service you are paying for the cost is quite reasonable for this solution."

"SAP ECC is not cheap but I consider it the best system for managing an organization's data and processes."

"The solution is expensive so I rate cost a five out of ten."

"When we talk about pricing it is expensive. On a scale of one to ten, it would rank a two. There are no additional fees but the user licenses are high."

"SAP is a bit on the costly side, but they also provide support and other things. We are paying for licenses and the use of the cloud."
