The product may be fine, our partner experience certainly was not. Go live slipped twice and the fees for the slippage landed on us. A partner developer left and took the knowledge of our customisations with him.
Cons
Partner dependency with no easy exit. Per user pricing stings at scale

The product is excellent, the journey to it is a project with a capital P. Getting SA specific bank integration working needed a third party connector. The out of the box reports are average, Power BI is where reporting actually happens.
Pros
Dimensions beat cost centre hacks; strong SA partner channel
Cons
Premium versus Essentials is a hard call

The finance team lives in Excel and the two way integration means they never fight the system. Our partner customised the sales order screen without breaking a single update since.
Pros
Two way Excel integration; proper inventory costing methods

For our size the overhead never justified itself. Go live slipped twice and the fees for the slippage landed on us. The per user cost at 18 users makes the CFO wince quarterly.
Cons
Budget overruns with shared blame

Power BI dashboards read the live data, so our exco pack builds itself overnight. The Excel integration is two way, edit a journal in a sheet and publish it back. Reporting via Power BI replaced a full time spreadsheet job. It is the last ERP decision we plan to make for a decade.
Pros
Monthly updates, no upgrade projects
Cons
Out of the box reports are average

As a manufacturer, the production orders and BOM costing fit how our floor actually works. Our partner customised the sales order screen without breaking a single update since. Every module posts to one ledger so the numbers agree by construction.
Pros
One ledger across finance, stock and sales; scales without replatforming

Our IT manager appreciates that patching and uptime are Microsoft's problem now. Recommended to every FD who asks, and they ask often.
Pros
Proper inventory costing methods; strong SA partner channel
Cons
Heavy screens for warehouse work

The product is excellent, the journey to it is a project with a capital P. The licensing matrix took our IT manager a weekend to truly understand.
Cons
Partner hours are part of the cost

Powerful, Microsoft flavoured, and priced accordingly. Updates are monthly and mostly smooth, but our customisations need testing each time.
Pros
Strong SA partner channel; team Members licences for light users
Cons
SA bank feeds need connectors

After 4 years the system has absorbed every growth spurt we threw at it. Dimensions replaced our old cost centre hacks with something the auditors actually praised. Our operations finally run on one version of the truth.
Pros
Proper inventory costing methods

As a manufacturer, the production orders and BOM costing fit how our floor actually works. Multi company means our two entities close in the same afternoon. For SA mid market businesses the shortlist should start here.
Cons
Customisations need testing every update

The VAT setup was handled by our partner and the returns have reconciled cleanly ever since. Bank reconciliation with imported statements is quick and the matching learns.
Pros
Proper inventory costing methods
Willem Botes
Warehouse Manager

A genuinely strong ERP that demands respect during implementation. The out of the box reports are average, Power BI is where reporting actually happens.
Cons
Licensing model takes study
Rashida Viljoen
Systems Administrator

The VAT setup was handled by our partner and the returns have reconciled cleanly ever since. The audit trail is complete enough that our year end queries halved. Every module posts to one ledger so the numbers agree by construction. Worth the project, worth the licences, worth the change management.
Pros
One ledger across finance, stock and sales; monthly updates, no upgrade projects
Megan Moodley
Financial Controller

Good system that keeps reminding you it is licensed per user. The licensing matrix took our IT manager a weekend to truly understand.
Cons
Premium versus Essentials is a hard call
Francois Johnson
Financial Manager

Team Members licences at a fraction of the price cover all the approve and view users. Uptime has been effectively perfect for 2 years. Recommended to every FD who asks, and they ask often.
Anele Abrahams
General Manager

We moved our distribution business off Pastel Evolution and Business Central has been a level up in every direction. Multi company means our two entities close in the same afternoon. For SA mid market businesses the shortlist should start here.
Cons
Premium versus Essentials is a hard call

It does everything, which means deciding what it should do took months.
Cons
SA bank feeds need connectors
Michael Rikhotso
Financial Manager

Very capable once configured, and configuring took longer than promised. The AppSource marketplace had a payroll connector and an EDI add on ready to go.
Pros
Power BI reads live data natively
Cons
Heavy screens for warehouse work

We bought an ERP and inherited a consulting relationship we cannot exit. Simple changes need a change request, a quote and a fortnight. Training the floor staff took months longer than the plan admitted.
Cons
Per user pricing stings at scale
