Strengths
Business Central has number of strengths, but there is one advantage that really stands out: VALUE. Here are list of Business Central strengths:

Business Central Powerful Reporting Feature
Business In terms of reporting, here what we have found:
- Ability to provide data access permission to different users
- Order entry reports to see operational person performance analysis

- Use a web - based reporting portal
- Enhanced reporting capabilities with Power BI product
Consistency
The share codebase between Dynamics 365 Business Central and Dynamics NAV ensures complete consistency and ease of transition for users between on - premise and cloud versions.
Weaknesses
However, due to deployment model, the on - premise option has fewer data security benefits, requires more frequent attention by internal IT team, and more cost in long - run. It makes sense, because the users have more control of the application when using this deployment model.
Organisation will spend bigger cost upfront with this model as they are going to pay for own servers, plus a proper server management in place, power backup plan and separate payment plan for proprietary updates and upgrades.
Despite the weaknesses mentioned above about on – premise deployment, but it still has the same audit trail and data permission functions, it still works fine and do improve your internal security.
