What makes Microsoft a Xero.
Upgrade your business, simplify your life.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a strong competitor to Xero due to its comprehensive business management capabilities, scalability, industry-specific solutions, advanced features, and integration with Microsoft tools. It is an excellent choice for businesses looking for a versatile and adaptable business management solution.

Xero
- Integration available but users report synchronicity between multiple platforms.
- Difficulty in scalability, causing performance and instability with high volume transactions or complex processes.
- Lacking in features such as project management and time tracking.
- Basic reporting capabilities, lacking in customisation and depth leading to more manual effort.
- Users report customer support falls short in providing immediate and comprehensive solutions, particularly due to the lack of direct phone support and reliance on email-based assistance.
Scalability
Sage: Sage ERP has scalability limitations including performance issues with increasing data, limited quality controls leading to user errors, complex initial setup and steep learning curve, and limited mobility requiring an add-on for remote data access.
User Experience
Business Central: Offers a modern, intuitive interface with extensive customisation options. However, due to its vast array of features, the learning curve can be steep.
Xero: Xero’s user experience can be challenging for new users due to its extensive features that require familiarity and practice. Additionally, it lacks built-in receipt capture, and some users find its invoice and report customisation options restrictive, and its interface less visually engaging than its competitor.
Integration
Business Central: Seamlessly integrates with other Microsoft products (e.g., Office 365, Azure) and various third-party applications, providing a cohesive ecosystem.
Xero: While Xero can integrate with multiple third-party apps, improper integration can lead to errors that waste time to fix. Additionally, the setup complexity, cost, training needs, data security, and reliance on stable internet connectivity are also challenges when integrating Xero with other platforms.
Customer Support
Business Central: Provides comprehensive support options, including detailed documentation, community forums, and direct support channels.
Sage: Sage’s customer support has been criticised for its slow response times, with support tickets often untouched for extended periods. Additionally, the lack of a user community forum for self-service and problem-solving has been noted.
