I have been using Dynamics NAV for a few months and this is my first experience with business/enterprise solutions so I am not really able to evaluate it or to compare it to other ERPs…
Can anyone tell me what are the pros and cons of Microsoft Dynamics NAV ???

MS Navision comes with add on tools and Nav utilities to support existing modules and options for better functionality. MS Navision too has easy to use interface like with an extra facility of hiding, removing extra fields from the screens which are irrelevant for any user. MS Navision provides role tailored or role centers where user gets tools and function which are required by him and other facilities are hidden to avoid confusion and quick understanding. This facility is an advantage with MS Navision in comparison to other ERP. Better integration with other Microsoft tools like excel and office also makes it easy to use by people with minimum IT skills
