SAGE MAS 200 Vs. Microsoft Dynamics GP (Formerly Great Plains)?

Question

Can anyone tell me the pros/ cons of these 2 software packages. My organization is about to choose between them as their core financial and sales systems and we are looking for some users to give us their opinion. Please be a user of either if responding..

Answer 1

I'm a consultant who has implemented both. Frankly, there's not a lot of difference in functionality. Both have been around a rather long time, and are pretty stable. If I had to choose right now, I would go with the Microsoft product, simply because of their name ... lots of good 3rd party packages are being written for it ... moreso than MAS 200.
