Dynamics 365 Business Central vs. NetSuite

In a bid to tap into the soaring demand for cloud-based ERP solutions, Microsoft launched a cloud ERP solution called Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, also referred to as Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central has attracted several customers who were using legacy applications such as SL, GP and NAV. However, Dynamics 365 Business Central is not the sole cloud-based ERP solution in the market. NetSuite is another popular alternative.

Business Central-vs.-NetSuite

Both Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and NetSuite are designed to help small and mid-sized organizations scale and grow their businesses. Therefore, organizations often find it difficult to select one that would cater to their needs.

This blog highlights the various aspects where Dynamics 365 Business Central edges out NetSuite.

How is Dynamics 365 Business Central Different?

Here’s a simple analogy to help you understand how Dynamics 365 is more suited to business needs than NetSuite.

A single phone line is being shared among multiple users. In such circumstances, it is difficult to:

  • Keep personal information private on a public line
  • Assure that you do not lose phone access because of someone else’s blunder
  • Manage upgrades without everyone being on board

Thus, a public phone line makes business operations clunky and confusing.

NetSuite’s multi-tenant software is more like these public phone lines. The resources are shared by many users simultaneously. Dynamics 365, on the other hand, is completely opposite. It is a single-tenant solution where every user gets a unique environment to work.

Business benefits of using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central over NetSuite.
