Which one is a True SAAS system, how long will your vendor be around and how secure is their site to trust with your data. NetSuite does have all their customers hosted so I would trust the secure there a lot more they these fly buy night partners. Why is Microsoft trying to re develop their software applications as SAAS solutions now, way behind the eight ball I would say.

But that’s only partly true, while NetSuite is strictly a SaaS application, Microsoft Dynamics GP can be configured either on-premise or on-demand-expertly hosted by a Microsoft Partner.

Mark, we all need to get up to date when comparing accounting software. Outsourcing the enhancement of SL is irrelevant. The issue is Microsoft’s commitment to their ERP Dynamics products, including SL and GP. As Microsoft’s statement of direction for SL said last year: “The current release of Microsoft Dynamics SL– 7.0 – is our first installment in this wave of investment and is the base of new technology on which we will build over the next several years.”

Also, see Kirill Tatarinov, a VP of Microsoft Business Solutions, state their long-term commitment to SL:

I’m sure with this focus on SL, there is the same commitment to innovation with GP. NAV and AX being the whole future just isn’t true.

Mark – nice to hear that old rumors never die. I think the first time I heard about SL’s demise was on version 4.21, that was six versions ago (technically seven, if you count 4.51 and 4.50 separately). As for the development of SL being outsourced, SL is being developed by the very same people that were doing development prior to Great Plains purchasing the product. If you want to split hairs that these people are paid by a separate company (Plumbline out of Findlay Ohio) as opposed to collecting a check from Microsoft, so be it. But the fact is the future of SL is being written by the same people who worked on the product back when Solomon was an independent company.

Mark – Certainly you are entitled to your opinion and we won’t delete comments that show different points of view. I am sure you are familiar with the idea of VAR’s joining together to provide educational content online – since I know you do the same thing with a group of Sage partners. (bit of the pot calling the kettle black I would say). As for unbiased advice, I notice that you recommend readers to look at the systems that you happen to sell, is that unbiased? No, but it is honest. All of us choose to sell the products that we feel are the best. Personally I feel that all of the Dynamics products have their place and none should be put down – it is just not true that Dynamics SL is no longer enhanced and Dynamics GP is in maintenance mode.

I’ll give the blog creators here credit. At least they don’t delete posts that aren’t drooling over GP .

Clearly this is a GP based site with a GP biased trying to drum up search engine based results for people looking for software.

Thats all fair and its better to do it this way than black hat SEO tactics.

That being said, anybody reading this site thinking they are getting unbiased answers is mistaken. For example, the articles on why GP is better than MAS90 are full of mistakes, exaggerations, and data from 10 year old versions. Sage has scientifically refuted the ‘research’ which was 100% funded by Microsoft.

Not only that, but the real future Dynamics products to Microsoft are Dynamics NAV (Navision) for distributors, and Dynamics AX for manufacturers.

SL isn’t even enhanced by Microsoft anymore. It’s all outsourced and GP, similar to MAS90, is in “milk the maintenance mode.”

If you want software that has real future path look at solutions like Dynamics NAV, AX or SAP Business One.

David, it’s great to see someone as passionate about NetSuite as we are about Microsoft Dynamics GP. And you’re right, this site was founded by a group of Microsoft Dynamics partners, with the intention of educating business decision makers researching options for an accounting or ERP system. Visitors to the blog can find our company bio’s in the ‘Members’ section of the site.

Men and women who want reliability and ease of use should consider Microsoft Dynamics GP. Boys and girls, talk to David.
