    It integrates fully with the other Microsoft software we use daily, and this coordination speeds up our work and gives us the agility to run easily. For example, in a purchase inquiry, the customer, after submitting a request, identifies the teams that should work on the project, and if they need further review by other people, they are added to the process, and everything is managed seamlessly rather than the sales process. Get the result as fast as possible.

    It provides a complete real-time solution on the go, if possible. Complete with all the features. I would definitely recommend this
    to other businesses to have in their ecosystem for a complete understanding of
    cloud-based digitization of business operations. Best choice for transforming the cloud-based organization into digital transformation.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • Microsoft Dynamics AX's scalability to meet our regional office needs provide flexibility to the team's requirements.
    • Combined with Citrix Xenapp, the application offers seamless access for users on high latency unreliable network connection to the application.
    • Application maintenance and updates are easy which makes it possible for us to manage remotely considering the servers are located in a remote Asia site.

    • I am pretty much impressed by their unified solution for every problem, workflow-based approach, and real-time optimizing engine in memory.
    • Interference of Ramco ERP is the reason for choosing it.
    • It is a completely cost-effective and reliable ERP solution.
    • The best feature that helps me to keep working on Ramco ERP is that it easily integrated with other existing software very easily.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • MRP can be slow to adapt to changes in actual production or supply chain transactions.
    • Setting up number sequences seems a trivial matter, but these numbers ID transactions once they are in the ledger and are key--easy to miss this point in the implementation process.
    • Bank rec being easily automated and able to quickly plug into a bank back end to get data is not the best.
    • Payment processing can be 'clunky' based on checks, ACH, Wires...as some of these items are not triggered out of the box in AX, bur are easily added --talking ACH and Wires specifically.

    • The biggest drawback I have been facing while using the platform is that there must be no compromise on security. There is a need for a few changes in security and data control which helps businesses to trust Ramco ERP more.
    • Data migration is a bit of hard work along with the reports that are not giving expected results, which need improvements.

    Overall the product does what we need it to do in order for us to function as a company. While there are some concerns over ongoing costs, the belief is, once we have it fully acclimated to our business the cost should settle into alignment with our original expectations. The new features that are consistently being added do add value to the product as they are usually customer request directed.

    I have
    been using this software for some time where I have changed my organization
    setup with the help of Ramco ERP and it leads to being the best choice, as it has
    all the features that are needed to be the best. All the processes are very streamlined, easy to
    use, and the real-time inventory stock update is amazing.

    We use a 3rd-party Microsoft Partner for the system. They are responsive and very knowledgeable. While costs have been mentioned several times in this review they are very aware of costs and have developers who are more economical they use to help offset the level of work required to meet our changes and fix our issues.

    The support team is best in their respective tasks.
    They are very supportive and responsive to the messages, listen to the problem
    carefully, and provide a solution on the go. If it is not possible, they will
    respond after time with the workable solution.

    Some rough spots, but ultimately worked out. The contract didn't appear to be structured to support the level of overlapping facility deployments required to meet timeline commitments. Merging cultures on the program was also challenging. Overall, not an easy implementation by any stretch. Everyone did the best they could.

    • With the robust built-in reporting we were able to drop an external reporting platform that costed about $40,000.
    • API integrations have saved manual entry and reduced having to hire 2-3 people to manage data.
    • Several administrators and developers are required for this which costs about 200-300 thousand in employee costs.
