Powerful, Microsoft flavoured, and priced accordingly. Performance dips at month end when everyone hammers the same ledgers. Teams embedded approvals mean directors sign off from their phones.
Pros
Scales without replatforming
Cons
Heavy screens for warehouse work

Our partner in Bloemfontein ran the implementation in four months and we went live without missing a shipping day. Teams embedded approvals mean directors sign off from their phones. Every module posts to one ledger so the numbers agree by construction.
Pros
Proper inventory costing methods; monthly updates, no upgrade projects
Cons
Implementation is a real project

Good system that keeps reminding you it is licensed per user. Premium versus Essentials forced a decision we did not feel equipped to make. Purchase approvals carry limits per role, so the buying discipline enforces itself.
Pros
Scales without replatforming

Very capable once configured, and configuring took longer than promised. The out of the box reports are average, Power BI is where reporting actually happens. Some screens feel heavy and a warehouse clerk notices the clicks.
Pros
Power BI reads live data natively; strong SA partner channel
Cons
Licensing model takes study

We moved our distribution business off Pastel Evolution and Business Central has been a level up in every direction. Reporting via Power BI replaced a full time spreadsheet job.
Pros
Proper inventory costing methods

Rand billing through the CSP agreement keeps procurement calm. The AppSource marketplace had a payroll connector and an EDI add on ready to go. New starters know Outlook and Excel already, so the learning curve is gentler than the last ERP.
Pros
Power BI reads live data natively

We run 70 users across three branches and month end consolidations take a morning. Dimensions replaced our old cost centre hacks with something the auditors actually praised. Reporting via Power BI replaced a full time spreadsheet job.
Pros
Proper inventory costing methods

We are happy on it, though the total cost of ownership needed explaining to the board. Premium versus Essentials forced a decision we did not feel equipped to make.
Pros
Dimensions beat cost centre hacks; one ledger across finance, stock and sales
Cons
Customisations need testing every update

After 10 years the verdict is positive with real footnotes. Performance dips at month end when everyone hammers the same ledgers.
Pros
Team Members licences for light users; two way Excel integration
Cons
Out of the box reports are average

As a manufacturer, the production orders and BOM costing fit how our floor actually works. Recommended to every FD who asks, and they ask often.
Pros
Dimensions beat cost centre hacks
Cons
Licensing model takes study

After 2 years the verdict is positive with real footnotes.
Pros

A genuinely strong ERP that demands respect during implementation. The licensing matrix took our IT manager a weekend to truly understand.
Cons
Partner hours are part of the cost

We are happy on it, though the total cost of ownership needed explaining to the board. Getting SA specific bank integration working needed a third party connector. New starters know Outlook and Excel already, so the learning curve is gentler than the last ERP.
Pros
Two way Excel integration; appSource marketplace for add ons

The product is excellent, the journey to it is a project with a capital P. Partner hours are part of the running cost, ours bills every month for something. Uptime has been effectively perfect for 3 years.
Pros
Monthly updates, no upgrade projects

The finance team lives in Excel and the two way integration means they never fight the system. The audit trail is complete enough that our year end queries halved.

The finance team lives in Excel and the two way integration means they never fight the system. Reporting via Power BI replaced a full time spreadsheet job. Purchase approvals carry limits per role, so the buying discipline enforces itself. Our operations finally run on one version of the truth.

It does everything, which means deciding what it should do took months. The licensing matrix took our IT manager a weekend to truly understand. Every module posts to one ledger so the numbers agree by construction.
Pros
Strong SA partner channel
Cons
Customisations need testing every update

The sales demo and the delivered reality were distant cousins. Simple changes need a change request, a quote and a fortnight. A partner developer left and took the knowledge of our customisations with him.
Pros
Approvals inside Teams and Outlook
Cons
Budget overruns with shared blame
