Dynamics AX vs. Alternatives in 2024

The main competitors for Microsoft Dynamics AX are SAP and Epicor.

Epicor provides an ERP solution which is built on service oriented architecture and is modular based. Its core features include financial management, human capital management, sales management as well as CRM. There are additional modules that address supply chain management, scheduling & planning, and service management. The product can be customized to business needs and includes support for global ERP requirements. Epicor is also available as an on premise, hosted or cloud based solution.

Microsoft Dynamics AX on the other hand supports similar requirements but also addresses large enterprise manufacturing, retail & POS operations along with public sector undertakings and service industry requirements as well. It includes features for demand forecasting, e-commerce & e-procurement as well as budgeting & planning. There is also a business process modeler to support workflow automation and analytics for information discovery and business decision making.

SAP provides a similar ERP solution but also includes its proprietary SAP HANA platform. This in-memory technology improves application performance and quicker analytics querying for data discovery. Additionally the product supports mobility solutions with secure access control. Another important difference is its management of operational sustainability by managing both environmental impact and worker safety issues.

Microsoft Dynamics AX on the other hand can complement a SAP ERP implementation. This is done by maintaining SAP as the administrative core, but providing Dynamics as the functional interconnection to manage enterprise operations. This allows companies to leverage on their existing investment while still benefiting from the Dynamics product offering.
