Previously, we provided a comparison of the features of Microsoft and Oracle Business Management Systems. In this blog post, we will provide the pros and cons of these two leading Business Management Systems.
Microsoft Business Management System
Pros
- It is an advantage if you are already using Microsoft to run your business, as your team is already familiar with the interface. It saves training time and enables your staff to adapt quickly.
- Full capabilities are at a price point that makes the product accessible for small and mid-sized organizations.
- Built for integration, so it can be linked to Microsoft’s portfolio of solutions or third-party applications depending on needs and preferences. For example, it is possible to synchronize it with Microsoft Outlook to change sales and inventory quotes through email directly. This massive integrated system has an easy-to-understand and straightforward interface.
Cons
- As it is highly customizable, it can be challenging to execute major software releases and updates.
Oracle Business Management System
Pros
- Built to cover all areas of your business, so you should only need one piece of software and have to work with just one vendor.
- Suitable for all business sizes whether you run a small, medium, or large company.
- It can handle a number of large transaction volumes repeatedly and provides a reliable result.
Cons
- Not easy to integrate with other software as it is meant to be a total solution and therefore isn’t built to work well with applications outside of itself.
- The base module is comparable in price to Microsoft but adding modules raises the price significantly.
Conclusion
Oracle NetSuite is a suite solution with modules built to cover your entire business. The modules are well equipped for financials and project management. You can add functionality by purchasing additional modules. The modules will perform best with one another and may not work well with third-party applications.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central offers full business functionality, including manufacturing and distribution capabilities, at an advantageous price point. It is built for integration, so it pairs well with other solutions, including Microsoft products and third-party applications.
At Zooloo, we have built the DSM Suite 2.0 using the components from Microsoft as it is easier to integrate with other world-class providers for an end-to-end solution to the wholesale trade sector.
