Great to see Dynamics 365 made it to #1 this year! Couldn’t agree more about the D365 VAR market. Lots of VAR who try and implement in industries they don’t really know well at all.
I wish there was more talk about customer service and technical support. That should be even more a key thing than what the functionality and scalability of an ERP product. The end user experience, how easily can an end user can use the product and learn to use it. A transition from one ERP system to another should be well.. painless as possible.
Once again thanks for great content, it would be great to see a review of hybrid Finance/ERP/MES systems for small manufacturing businesses , having worked in Dynamics, SAP, SAGE, Netsuite and Syspro environments the main thing they all have in common is they are typically skewed towards Finance and IT and requiring significant compromise from the manufacturing operations (usually fixed by addons, other systems and excel). As an Operations professional, I have seen a few Operationally biaised MES systems which offer connectivity to traditional Finance systems e.g. Proshop ERP which links to Sage or Quickbooks or Plex
Thank you Eric for the content .Could you make a video to advise system integrators to be able to further assist customers during their implementations?
Thanx, very informative. I am surprised about D365 as I had some experience recently in setting up and navigating D365 Finance. I found the navigation very cumbersome and not intuitive.
Great Digital Transformation Content. @ Eric Kimberling I downloaded the 2021 report, it doesn’t seem to correlate with the ranking on this TH-cam video. Am watching the Top 10 2022-2023 ERP systems video published on July 12 2021. Is the 2022 report available?
Looking at both Acumatica and D365 I realize this was made several months ago and just wanted to get your opinion for a primarily eCommerce business with a customer site which would be your choice?
Great to have your quick views, would it be possible to share a video on Functional aspects & Key/Critical Features comparasion for SME & Emerging/Large enterprise org.
Microsoft D365 Finance and Operations system is powerful and agile. There are a lot of parameters that you can use to set up to map your business requirements.
im going with odoo for my manufacturing company, the new pricing makes it a no brainer to get started, it should take us a long way to standardize our business as a first step from paper/excel/endless files on a shared drive etc.... we currently use quickbooks enterprise and just added fishbowl inventory last yr. that isnt a real good manufacturing solution. so i do need a database sync from fishbowl to odoo for transition
Don't, I have worked with Sage, MAS, Dynamics 365, NetSuite, SAP, Epicor, etc, etc, and that system sucks more than any ERP I have ever ran across ( I do not consider QuickBooks or Xero to be manufacturing, but Xero wins on the accounting). I have been implementing ERP systems for over 20 years, and unless you are a VERY small marketing, law or other firm, stay away, the upfront costs "seem" low, but absolutely nothing works in their system, I am shocked they put it #8. Their own "implementers" cannot fix the disparate apps that were "open source" and not based on a relational database, which is kind of important in an ERP. No ability to audit, no ability to set permissions for your users, etc. We spend upwards of $5,000/month to do the simplest things like unbuild a manufacturing order at the same costing it was built at. Had to write of $10K in inventory one month because it does not work. I just spent money because it "auto" stock moved parts during a website upgrade an no one at the company can figure out how to reverse it. They don't understand Sales to one client is Purchasing to another, so you have blanket PO's, but not blanket SO's, you have Customer Deposits, but not Vendor Pre-payments, stay away. Honest review. Try Epicor, MRP Easy or something else, or realize you will pay around $7K/month for four users with zero insight and zero reporting! If we weren't such a small company, we would have dropped them after 3 months, but we just don't have the bandwidth or money to start over, so we are literally pulling data out, painfully, and basically creating an ERP with task management and spreadsheets, unreal!
@@jillthomassian7510 Hi Jill, thanks for input. so confusing, i hear great stories about manufacturing implementation and then some real doozies like yours! Did you use a third party consultant? they seem to be better than some, what must be several new hires for a growing odoo, overseas.i had good demo and bad demos, we went to fishbowl for quickbooks instead of odoo inventory based on a bad demo from corporate. but fishbowl is fishblow. lol. confusing for sure. yes, we get and give blanket POs then issue SO's against them. we do take customer down payments on projects, id think that is a no brainer in accounting.
Hi Eric, this is informative. What are your thoughts of combining 2 or three different ERPs to implement? In this video, you extolled on the strengths of the ERPs you listed. So for the sake of example, what advise can you give if my company were to purchase the supply chain management module of a certain ERP (because that is their strength) and buy another module from another ERP for financials?
Brilliant video and content, as always. Thank you. I've had some recent exposure to Microsoft Dynamics and I have to say, I found it really tough to use. I believe they've recently changed everything over to the power platform, which is fine, but in my somewhat limited experience, it's a mess. Some configuration in old Sharepoint 2010-style pages, some in the Microsoft admin centre, some in pop-ups, others squirreled away in on-screen flyouts ... configuration felt like I was trying to traverse a maze. And don't get me started on the security model! That needs a masters degree in computer science just to get your head around it. I will be honest, it surprised me that D365 was number one.
Ah… Sorry David… That seems like it is not the ERP product. That is the Dataverse platform. The CRM Platform that is more a HPAPaaS product. The different UX is most likely a result of the rapid evolution of the platform. Got to make sure you’re backwards capable with so many customers using the product. 😏
Iam a CRM dev, It is complicated to implement, why people like it is highly customisable and many ootb features. Also, It is cheap compared to oracle, sap. Mega caps prefer customization over ease of use.
If enterprises decision makers wisely ignore software vendors' branding factor irrelevant to ERP software systems' qualities and focus exclusively on the chances of successful implementations and overall cost of purchase/cloud tenancy + implementation + maintenance of various ERP products/cloud services, I recommend the near zero risk, flexible, incredibly simple, lightening fast, low cost PostERP I design that allows cloud subscribers to switch to on-premises solution any time when your businesses grow from SMB to global giants.
From my experience Sage was horrible for ERP and accounting products. The customer service and tech support was horrible. Do not expect an immediate response for end-user support. You'd be sitting around for two or more days to get an answer or solution.
It is really unfair to put Business Central (formerly Navision) and F&O (formerly AX or Axapta) in same position. They need to be ranked separately. It reviewed just like SAP S/4 Hana vs By Design vs Business One, and also Oracle Cloud ERP vs Oracle NetSuite. There is no way Business Central would make the top 10 list.
Visual Manufacturing hides everything. You literally cannot teach yourself through help files or videos. They want to charge for everything. "Questions - FREE" "Correct answers - $1000"
Would be much more engaging if you had product screenshots and interactive usage to accompany the verbal overview
Great to see Dynamics 365 made it to #1 this year!
Couldn’t agree more about the D365 VAR market. Lots of VAR who try and implement in industries they don’t really know well at all.
Thank you Eric for the helpful information! You’re a value to your organization!
Glad it was helpful!
Another great review and great advice. Thanks Eric
There's so much work done here! Thank you very much

Gracias Eric ¿Este es un video con recomendaciones profesionales o se trata de una publicidad encubierta?
Love D365, so far so good.
Great overview 👍. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
What are your thoughts on SAP byDesign? We're looking at both Acumatica and byDesign.
Great overview Eric, thanks!

Which one would you recommend as far as initial tech support for implementation to get up and running?
Great stuff Eric. Could you do one on HCM Cloud software , please ??

From my experience Sage was horrible for ERP and accounting products. The customer service and tech support was horrible. Do not expect an immediate response for end-user support. You'd be sitting around for two or more days to get an answer or solution.
PeopleSoft didnt make the list?
It was merged with Oracle I think.
