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."

"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is all the functionality of the modules together. It is a full-featured solution."

"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is the ability to manage your entire business with one software package."

"The solution is user-friendly in comparison with Oracle."

"The most valuable features of the solution revolve around the fact that it is easy to deploy and scalable and is not resource-intensive."

"One of the biggest advantages of SAP Business One, especially in the public cloud, is that many features are standardized, which reduces the need for customization."

"Sales CRM and Financials are most valuable."

"We bought all licenses for the whole package in the very beginning, and now we're just paying for 404 licensed maintenance. It's a standard fee. Of course, we still pay partners for implementation."

"We have been happy with the command line interface of SAP Business One."

"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."

"Overall, the integration and the reports can be better."

"SAP Business One consumes a lot of network resources and bandwidth, especially when accessing the web solution, B1 Web Access."

"There are a lot of good improvements coming out in every version. They release a new version every quarter, with all new up-and-coming things on each one. However, it might be lacking specifications for the specific verticals. However, SAP Business One is a generic tool. It's very widely used, and I understand why it's not into each vertical. There are solution partners available out there to give it those extra areas of what it needs, but this is depending on what kind of business you run."

"The user interface could be improved with drag-and-drop functionality that it currently lacks."

"Something which would be helpful to management and, from our vantage point as a user, would be to see a simple reporting tool."

"Business One's production module has room for improvement."

"The solution's CRM module can be made better."

"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."

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

"The price of SAP Business One is not expensive for the features and the benefits it provides."

"Business One is reasonable considering the functionality."

"We recently acquired the license, so we are using the latest version."

"This solution can work with a very small company, but the price may not be the right, it may not be the right fit for them. We can't help with this because we have to really understand the market, the target audience, and we have to position the product accordingly. The price is not a very big concern because if the customer is finding value or the dealer, distributor, or implementation partner can show real value in the solution, then the price will not be a question at all."

"We feel that the licensing fees are a bit on the higher side."

"The price of SAP Business One is high for smaller businesses to afford. The currency plays a large part in the fluctuation of the solution's price when we convert the USD to our local currency. $1,400 is for a limited license and $3,700 is for a professional license."

"In terms of price, it's fair, but the problem is with AMC."

"We are on a perpetual license for SAP Business One and the price it should be less expensive when comparing it to other solutions."
