"GP is a functional product, but the user experience is not the best"
Pros: The software is relatively easy to use. The biggest advantage of GP is probably it is a Microsoft product, meaning GP works well with other Microsoft products, such as the Office suite. The learning curve is also not that steep if users are willing to learn through various blogs, videos (especially YouTube), and through Microsoft web site. The price is very competitive, comparing to leading-edge solution such as Intacct or NetSuite.
Cons: I am a big fan of anything on the Cloud. Our controller spends lots of time to upgrade GP through different version over the years (GP is hosted either on premise or through third-party vendor's server. Of course the upgrade or any troubleshooting is not that bad with the right support from a third vendor. However, this is not value-added function in accounting/finance. If I have a choice nowadays, I will go with Intacct or NetSuite. With a Cloud solution, users will have very little downtime. With an on-premise solution, at least in our experiences, we have lots of downtimes. Also for some reasons the software requires us to reboot the backend server from time to time due to software bugs.

"Dynamics GP High end accounting software thats usable"
Comments: Great product, huge upgrade over SBM, but could be so much better if they streamlined the processes, and made it easier to find help in setting everything up. typical microsoft where user friendliness is a concept they simply dont understand
Pros: Can do most everything you can think of, workflow makes sense, cheque writing and invoice entry features are easy to use, once youve got the report functions figured out, can customize them to your needs for the most part
Cons: way too many keystrokes to perform the entries you need to make, some reports such an income statement are incomplete with no way to create them the way you want, error messages are pretty much useless unless youre an experienced user, even then, they can be difficult to cipher, looking for answers for how to do things is very poor, and because they keep updating/changing the interface without warning, many of the steps shown are out of date, thereby useless

"ERP with a familiar MS Office feel"
Pros: Microsoft Dynamics GP does a great job of integrating into the other mainstream Microsoft productivity applications many organizations implement, and it offers some great familiarity that helps someone new to the software feel more comfortable with using the application. Because it is a Microsoft product, there is also healthy mainstream/community support via online forums. And, of course, logical access is simplified thanks to integration with Microsoft's Active Directory but you may also opt for SQL Server database logical access as well.
Cons: Microsoft Dynamics GP is very light on Customer Relationship Management (CRM) features. Customer accounts and details can be stored in the software for invoicing and other accounting functions, but much is left to be desired. Microsoft instead points you to buying additional software, such as their Dynamics CRM product which integrates nicely with Dynamics GP but adds on additional licensing costs.

"Very Powerful Tool that can be Difficult to Use"
Pros: Overall, Microsoft Dynamics GP is a powerful and complex accounting and financial management tool. My favorite parts of the software is that the reports are customizable, and there is a lot you can do with them. Another positive is that the forms and records offer a tremendous amount of detail. An important feature of MS Dynamics GP is the multiple dashboards available, though they can be overwhelming. One of the more useful ones is the Business Analyzer, which gives multiple options of which KPIs and other bits of data are shown and displayed in separate windows. These can be re-sized and moved around on your monitor so that what you need to see can be seen when you need to see it, if that makes sense.
Cons: The main negative is that it can be difficult to use. The processes for doing thing are not intuitive and are unlike other similar systems. The entire user interface feels like something from the early 2000s. Compared to some of the similar products, I believe Dynamics GP would require a bit more training for the general user.

"Great Program"
Comments:
Very good program
Functionality is better than any program I have used
Pros:
Extremely easy to use for a variety of situations. Never had any unexpected errors as we did with other programs. Used it for 23 Branches and 15 program areas.
The ability to design your on statements with the report writer was great
Cons:
Pricey
Needs its own budget program.
We had to design one and import/integrate the numbers in which was a headache

"GP Dynamics"
Comments: I have been using Great Plains product for over 25 years. It was one of the first companies to offer flexibility for company growth without limitations.
Pros: I love the security , and reports that can be created and exported to excel. Works great with Microsoft office suite since it is Microsoft owned
Cons: Learning curve getting use to. Very detailed setting up. Requires partner to install and support.

"Complex"
Pros: The internal controls are great. It overs security for the company because every step is tracked. It's also a big enough program for larger companies.
Cons: It is very difficult to navigate through and get the reports you want. We're always having to use other software programs to get the financial reports we need.

"Use Great Plains for our Accounting needs"
Pros: Microsoft has developed and maintained a great product to help businesses with accounting. Easily integrates into our point of sale system. Also with a great history, it is easy to find resources to help in any need.
Cons: For us we only scratch the surface of the software. It would be great if they had a scaled down version.

"Great Package"
Pros: I have used GP in several companies and I find it to be one of the easiest packages to use and to train employees on.
Cons: Canned reports not very user friendly. Too many "bolt-on" packages and not enough "built in" functionality, but this improves with every release.

"Consultant perspective of Microsoft Dynamics GP"
Pros: Microsoft keeps adding more and more features to Dynamics GP. Between the use of the GP Web Client now, as well as opening up other integration options, getting data in and out of the application is becoming much easier.
Cons: It takes a lot to stay on top of the newest features, but that is more of just making sure we as consultants keep up on our skills to best suit our customers' needs. The loss of Business Portal is a slight setback; using the Web Client enhances some features, but it has become expensive again for customers that want to have an employee portal.

"Excellent Enterprise Software With Dynamics GP!"
Pros: Microsoft Dynamics GP has been a great tool for us when working with our enterprise clients. It seems like this is one of the biggest stumbling blocks for companies when really growing. Dynamics GP is the tool to manage your accounting and financial management!
Cons: The training process to get all your staff accountants will be the biggest time investment. However, once everyone is trained up it's a smooth process!

"Best to know an expert on this product"
Comments: Microsoft GP is an interesting program to say the least. This product is wonderful for separating job costs and applying expenses to the appropriate job. As far as reports, it is near impossible to get high quality reports without extremely modifying the program. To the average user, this will be impossible. For a trained veteran that has years of experience, these reports can be made but it will still require an immense amount of work. Still you may have to hire an outside expert to get the reports where you need them.
Pros: It says Microsoft on it.
Cons: This product is very difficult to learn, especially for someone that is new.

"Absolutely infested with bugs"
Comments:
This has been a living hell. Please never decide to use this software.
Selecting the time period you are reporting isn't just a date toggle of the starting period. Saving a timesheet results in a timesheet you can't submit later. Error, error, error. You already have a session error. You have selected march as your time period, so the application decides you must mean march of next year.
It is just awful. PLEASE DONT DO IT.
Pros: Not one thing. This application couldn't have more errors if that was the goal in the first place.
Cons:
The amount of errors
Non-intuitive interface
