Making an informed choice: on-premises versus cloud deployment

On-premises Deployment
Cloud deployment

Functionality

No out-of-the-box integration with M365, Teams or Power Platform.
Embedded capabilities across Outlook and Teams increase user productivity and improve customer experiences.

Remote Access

Desktop and web client available when on-premises. Additional work required to provide access externally.
Desktop and mobile applications, web-based interface available on any device.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Not available.
Built-in AI features help you accelerate automation of repetitive tasks, improve customer service, anticipate business challenges, and enhance decision making.

Upgrades

While some versions of NAV are still covered by extended support – which provides limited product enhancements and bug fixes – the upgrade path is to move to Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Industry-leading product roadmaps. Microsoft releases two major updates to Business Central in April and October each year, plus monthly minor releases. These updates include new capabilities, performance, platform, and security improvements.

Reduce upgrade expenses. All releases are automatically updated; however, the customer can schedule the time when the update should take place.

User Interface (UI)

Dynamics on-prem solutions have an outdated interface and user experience.
Business Central has a modern user interface, including personalized dashboards, built-in reports, clear navigation, and a natural language search option. It’s also available through the web and mobile devices.

Power Platform Integration

Requires manual integration.
Easily develop custom line of business applications with seamless integration to Business Central data. Build once and deploy apps in one click across iOS, Android, Windows, and Web.

Connectivity

Dynamics is predominantly an on-premises solution with limited connectivity.

Built on the common data service and easily integrated with hundreds of out-of-the-box solutions available on AppSource. API connectivity available to support HR/Payroll and other integrations with non-Microsoft products.

Reporting

Standard reporting tools such as Excel integration, queries, smart Lists, and management reporter.
Extensive insights and reporting capabilities with embedded Power BI reports, plus full Excel integration.
