The D365 Business Central vs. Netsuite ERP systems comparisons are going to be asked for years to come as they make themselves known as the main competitors in the SMB market. The two ERPs are different in many ways. Some of those differences are more obvious than others. The following compares the two software systems.
Dynamics 365 Business Central (NAV)
Designed for small and mid-sized companies, Dynamics 365 Business Central (formerly known as Microsoft Dynamics NAV) is available in the cloud. It helps streamline businesses by enhancing its operational processes. It boasts a roster of more than a million registered users worldwide. It’s very user-friendly and easy to implement and customize. Dynamics 365 Business Central also operates across a wide range of functionalities.
NetSuite
The ERP platform NetSuite was made for medium and large companies. It was made for such industries as retail, manufacturing, nonprofit, healthcare, media and publishing and financial services. NetSuite features a dashboard and some out-of-the-box reports.
Which is Better, Dynamics 365 Business Central or NetSuite?
Dynamics 365 Business Central is easy for developers to work on since they can get easy access to all of the system’s source codes. And since it’s used more by small and midsized businesses, it’s generally more advantageous to entrepreneurs who aren’t looking for anything fancy in an ERP system. The Dynamics 365 Business Central is a natural steppingstone for companies moving from Quickbooks. Many of the modules and features in NetSuite are not applicable to small businesses who are moving away from the QB products.
What’s more, despite NetSuite’s dashboard and reporting capability, its customization abilities and reporting engine are limited. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central provides users with business intelligence and reporting tools so they can design reports without any tech assistance whatsoever. Moreover, since NetSuite is a hosted solution, it naturally has limitations in its ability to adapt to the changing business environment.
