Implementing LS-NAV always went smooth. The latest developments are a real addition to LS-NAV.
The ease of use makes the difference!
Pros
It has a lot to offer out-of-the box and on top of that it is really easy to customize for that demanding customer. The help that is available from LS (academy, consultancy, help-desk) was a bit unknown to me, but since we got in contact it is that "+1" for me.
Cons
It can be a bit overwhelming for first-time users, but also for junior consultants. But at the same time it is easy to learn.

LS Central
We implemented Call center module which saved ton of cost and improve speed of customer service and delivery
Pros
Data director is the most amazing feature with seamless functionality. It works really great in data replication.
Cons
Reporting, I really hope they can improve on the reporting part. For example There should be industry standard report like Daily Sales report for Hospitality. Every customer asks for it.

LS Retail for Supermarkets
Pros
I do not know of any product that comes close to LS Retail when it comes to super/hyper markets. It can be setup as online or offline cash registers. Synchronization with HQ is extensive. Promotions and offers are extensive. User interface is fully customizable. It's an end-to-end solution that works on top of Microsoft Dynamics NAV which makes everything seamless. No interfaces or integration with the problems that come with them are needed.
Cons
Support resources are scarce and hardware requirements are high if you are planning for an on-premise setup
