A good product with wide customisations

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Dynamics 365 Business Central from other similar products?

The level of customisations that Dynamics allows the customers is amazing. It has all the features and runs smoothly. It has never crashed and is pretty fast compared to other GLs.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Whenever a record of any type be it invoice or bill is created or a payment is made and we ran into some errors, it would suggest the recommended approach to resolve the error and also has the option to apply the recommended approach which is really super smart and an amazing feature. This actually helps save a lot of time.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The documentation doesn't contain all of the details and How It Works page isn't much helpful. I would say initial integration will take a bit time to research and come to completion.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This is a pretty amazing software for all of cash flow needs and a great product with so many features.

Pros

Helps Innovate
