It's a software suite for managing company finances, but can do way, way more if you keep slapping bullshit on it. You can run a retail operation through it, for example.
It's a big, irritating "do anything financial for any type of business" app, and like most "all in one" tools is horribly over and under designed.
Working with it is brittle, stupid, complicated and expensive.
The company I used to work at paid for me to get two certifications on Dynamics. Once I left there and got another job, I didn't put th3 certifications on my CV so I wouldn't be called to work with this.
I see Microsoft Dynamics 365 and would like to introduce you its little brother: Microsoft Dynamics NAV. The language is C/AL, offshoot of Pascal, code editor does not support multi-line selection (let alone any features like highlighting or navigation), and source code control is managed by locking files.
is it really that bad compared to other things on the market? I did some Salesforce and some hubspot stuff and I wanted to off myself with those too lmao
There was this one time where I took down the accounting department by accidentally DDOSing the SQL server. MS Dynamics is such a piece of garbage that it will crash if the database takes more than a minute to respond.
