Epicor iScala vs SAP Business One comparison

"The accounting, purchasing, and basic ERP functions work well. But they are a little bit older, but they work for us. The inventory management is good and necessary for any company that manages stock for production or services."

"SAP Business One is very stable, and I would rate its performance as ten out of ten."

"The product seems to be quite stable."

"For us, the most useful feature of Business One is Material Requirements Planning (MRP)."

"Technical support is quite good. They are helpful and responsive. We are quite satisfied with their level of support."

"Its usability is the most valuable. It is very intuitive and user-friendly. In terms of functionality, it has all the basic functionalities for ERP, such as CRM, sales, and manufacturing. These are the functionalities that we typically use for all SMEs. In terms of localization, SAP Business One is the best. It has got localization across all countries, which is an advantage. No other solution has such localization."

"SAP Business One is pretty streamlined, with tight integration and standard best practice flows."

"I like the monthly order management features."

"The solution offers a structured view and is useful for the top management. The top management finds it organized and structured. It is stable and gives you fewer headaches as an IT manager."

"We're facing challenges with iScala in the public sector, specifically healthcare. The system doesn't have sufficient support for the complexities of managing payments for doctors, nurses, and other healthcare staff."

"There is room for improvement in stability."

"Security could be improved."

"There are problems with Business One's collection management and reconciliation."

"Lacks an advanced HR model with payroll."

"The standard SAP Business One is sufficient for the Indian region. There is no need for further enhancement as custom solutions can be designed and developed to meet specific needs. For example, HR and payroll is not a standard feature of the solution, but they can be created as a separate custom solution. However, payroll is not a standard function due to the varying norms and regulations across India's 29 states and union territories. Therefore, a standard payroll solution cannot be provided by SAP to add utility and features. Adding it would lead to different versions of the solution and more complexity in managing them. However, it would be useful to have addons to cover the other states which have different regulations."

"The solution could improve by providing HR payroll, quality control, and maintenance. These are the missing features which we have to use add-ons solutions to provide the functionality."

"There are improvements needed. However, they provide improvements over time."

"Our business has grown beyond the capabilities of Business One. We need a bigger ERP solution, and therefore we are moving away."

"Compared to local ERP solutions, it's on the higher side."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"Its price is reasonable. We have about 200 licenses. We have to pay every year for the license."

"The licensing cost for SAP Business One is affordable, and I'd rate it as four out of five. The license covers the software, the configuration, and the services, but if you want technical support, you'd need to pay for that separately."

"I rate the product pricing structure at around six out of ten due to currency fluctuations posing challenges."

"SAP Business One is a cost-effective solution. The price is good and we pay for a subscription annually."

"I rate the price of SAP Business One a seven out of ten."

"The price of SAP Business One is expensive and there is only a standard license."

"Business One is reasonable considering the functionality."
