The system is good for a smaller company. As our company has grown it has become difficult...
Reviewed on 2/4/2018
As a smaller company it was pretty easy to get around. I have felt the upgrades have made significant difference.
Pros
It's basic set up isn't too hard to use ONCE you have had some training. The set up of projects versus general ledger is pretty user friendly.
Cons
The reporting piece is pretty limited without customization. We have had to rebuild the general ledger and projects. If we didn't have an EXCELLENT internal support employee we would be in great trouble.

Dynamic SL accounting
Reviewed on 23/1/2017
This is a great product for accounts receivable, accounts payable and general ledger. Not quite great for fund accounting, we have to twist it to work for us to manage the project, fund etc.
Pros
Easy to use, works very well with Microsoft excel. You can copy/paste from Excel to Dynamic for some of the data entry which is so convenient. Customer service staff are very experienced and helpful.
Cons
Reporting is a weakness. I have to work between Dynamic and Excel to manually generate financial statements.

Dynamics SL Review
Reviewed on 25/7/2014
Pros
We love the flexibility of Dynamics SL and being able to customize it if necessary. Working with SIS has been great, and their team is very knowledgeable about SL and writing code.
Cons
Like any software, it has some quirks that one has to figure out, such as the attachment functionality. If you copy a JE that has an attachment, it brings the attachment to the new JE. However, if you delete the old attachment from the new JE, it also deletes it from the original JE as well. There's just quirky stuff like this.

This system is very easy to use in a menu driven sort of way. It has good features and not so good features. Hopefully, they are working on a fix for the not so good.
Pros
Menu-driven, easy.
Cons
Reports need to be customized, not able to do some year-end reports so you have to do those manual.

Pros
It does a great job of job costing and recording all the detailed transactions
Cons
To many extra processing steps, example, after you have entered a cash transaction, then you have to release the cash transaction, then you have to release it from the GL, then you have to post to the GL.

Pros
Microsoft Dynamics SL has a very user friendly AP/AR/GL data entry system. It is very easy to figure out and makes data entry a breeze. They have great customer service!
Cons
There is still a lot of manual work to produce your monthly/quarterly/yearly financial reports. You are able to export the data into Excel to get the reports you need but there is not an easy/automated way to get those reports.

Big Fan of the Functionality
Reviewed on 31/10/2016
As a PM manager of a coffee shop, professionalism and communication is key. This program allows us to introduce and share a number of thoughts, maintain finances (such as projects on a budget), assign tasks where needed, and much more. These are important concepts that many other programs lack (in sum). I have been extremely satisfied with all Microsoft products, and this only affirms that appreciation for their quality.
Pros
Better budgeting options, assigning/creating specific tasks that allow others to be engaged and the business to grow.
Cons
More options regarding inventory would be a helpful addition to the program.

MS Dynamics Review
Reviewed on 9/12/2016
My experience has been mixed with this platform. It does the GL accounting part fairly well. IT has limited functionality in terms of effective project management. The system reports are very basic requiring extensive external data manipulation and custom report writing. It's a reasonably priced solution.
Pros
- Low Total Cost of Ownership
- Ease of implementation
- Reasonable GL accounting module
Cons
- PM capabilities are very limited
- Canned system reports are limited
- Multi-currency financials are challenging requiring third party solutions.

Review of Microsoft Dynamics SL

Great ERP system, used it for project management and reporting finance. Amazing for for cost allocations, markups, and pricing. It has a strong independent Users Group. Customization is very easy and contains a lot of otions for the same. Ability to Copy/Paste into Dynamics SL has always been a strength- especially from Excel. Documentation needs some improvement though (you can find more details online, that is always there!).

Have used Dynamics SL for around 8 years. Very comfortable with it and pretty easy to get use...
Reviewed on 9/1/2018
Using them daily, I understands many ins and outs. I've been cross trained over the years in many of the modules. I understand there will be an upgrade coming in the near future and look forward to seeing a preview of it.
Pros
Reporting is great. I use reports weekly for time sheets when entering in payroll, for commission data. All of the look up screens are simple and give great information-- such as in the modules for Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Purchasing, and General Ledger.
Cons
Different modules do not speak to one another. You have to go to several different modules to complete a task, so multiple windows must be open at a time. It tends to slow down our servers and sometimes crashes when you are in the middle of something.

SL may be a legacy product but provides solid value
Reviewed on 25/1/2020
It has been in use at my company for 14 years. While lacking a modern UI, it has been a good value for the investment.
Pros
The ability to develop custom software modules using their tools. We created three robust modules that integrate with core financial, project and distribution modules.
Cons
Microsoft doesn’t seem to put much investment in the product any longer. The legacy VB.Net Windows client is dated.
