Microsoft Dynamics AX has been a trusted ERP for organizations worldwide. With its numerous features like financial management, employee management, supply chain monitoring, sales and marketing, and project management, Dynamics AX has been the market’s favorite for over two decades.

Dynamics AX users enjoy numerous benefits, yet, there are drawbacks as it has become a legacy product with outdated features. Microsoft has dropped support for Dynamics AX since 2018 and rebranded it to Dynamics 365 Finance (formerly named Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations).
