Quoted from http://www.mibuso.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5874:

mibuso.com • View topic - Weakness of Great Plains

Well, I don't call it a weakness, moreover, there are some differences from Navision that I will state:

1-GP is a better solution when it is used off the shelf, while Navision on the other hand offers higher customization.

2- GP is not partner dependant, on the other hand, Navision and when it comes to customization, you will be more dependant on your partner

3- GP is more user friendly, and this is one of the reasons it is more spreading in Africa regions.

4- NAV has CRM as one of its modules, while GP on the other hand is fully integrated with CRM 3.0.

5- Report writer in GP is very rigid, but on the other hand, it links to crystal reports via sql server 2000.

I hope that others will give you additional info

Take Care
