The product is very user-friendly, has an easy-to-use interface, and ROI can be achieved in less time

Analytics could be much better. The solution must provide a lot of options so that the analytics dashboard looks much better. The vendor must bring in more analytics features. Currently, the analytics features are decent but not great. The production modules and HR components must be improved. Production planning and detailed warehouse management features must be improved. While migrating to AWS, we faced certain issues with the API integration and the configuration of the add-ons. We thought changes wouldn't be required, but some changes were required. We also faced some challenges with the compatibility of the patches. The additional functionalities must be more flexible and scalable.

High stability, reasonably priced, and important for digital transformations

Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation. SAP as a legacy system is missing that flavor. The solution is not a traditional ERP software so should be used as a digital transformation tool. That is the story to project to customers, partners, and sales teams. This will help the solution grow faster than GCP, AWS, or Azure. In fact, Google Cloud Platform is now collaborating with SAP for digital transformation. The solution should offer affordable modules that are customized to startups with 50 to 500 employees. Most people think of SAP as being only for big enterprises but it could be very useful for smaller companies. There are 40,000 to 50,000 startups in APAC each year and that is a large volume. Many of the solution's modules could be used by those startups. Google is targeting this market with chat boards and automation tools at a reasonable price or with six months of free usage. SAP should come up with this kind of module and include sandbox so providers can play with a few of the POCs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I believe the solution is very stable."

"The production and planning processes of the solution are very good."

"The most valuable features of SAP Business One on AWS are the CRM and the sales module."

"With the tool, there is no shutdown or breakdown time my company experiences."

"It is well-established and caters to our user base efficiently."

"The modules, like the accounting and procurement modules, especially the finance and accounting modules, are quite impressive in the solution."

"Setting up Business One is straightforward. It took us about three months to deploy Business One on AWS."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

More SAP Business One on AWS pros

"What I like the most is that we can convert databases into a proper multi-dimensional model, and then we can project with the integration with Power BI."

"We have a wide range of use cases for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud. These include production planning, materials management, sales management, treasury, finance, appliance maintenance, real estate, and warehouse management."

"Traditionally, SAP worked with Oracle databases, but SAP is getting rid of the other databases and promoting its own. SAP will stop support for other databases around 2026, so everyone is moving to SAP S/4HANA for the performance and because it's the preferred database for SAP. S/4HANA has new features from the front-end or application feature perspective. The idea is to move toward future-ready technology."

"This solution is as good as any other S/4HANA SAP solution. The continuous support we get is very valuable."

"The processes and the way we take advantage and use assistance are good."

"The interface is easy to manage."

"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."

"It has significantly streamlined our operations."

Cons

"It would be better if the solution was on a cloud infrastructure."

"It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines."

"There is some room for improvement with the scalability and the pricing of the product."

"It is hard for the customers to get the product from the market. Improvement-wise, it can shorten its time to reach the markets."

"There are limitations of SAP Business One. It's a complex topic, and exploring options like SAP HANA is challenging at the moment. Understanding the limitations of ERP requires thorough research. I suggest conducting some preliminary investigations into ERP products before making a decision. We chose SAP Business One as it caters to SMEs like ours, acknowledging and accepting its limitations. While a larger product exists, switching would entail budget considerations due to the ongoing implementations. Therefore, the current situation with SAP Business One is not a matter of concern."

"The look-and-feel of the system is quite outdated as compared to a lot of other products out there."

"The solution has a feature that shows you the purchase order that you put on a project and requires you to approve it to be applied to the project, but it doesn't let you move the purchase order to another project. That would be a great feature to have, because if you don't approve it, you have to delete everything and make it again."

"I feel that these vendors must be well trained so that they can deploy this solution."

More SAP Business One on AWS cons

"They should probably offer more cloud services. Most of the cloud infrastructure providers we have make everything pretty transparent, you know what you're getting, you have all these metrics and measurements and everything in the dashboard. Here you have to go through the contracting negotiations and all those things."

"Perhaps minor changes to the enterprise structure could be made, but the rest is fine."

"The only thing that could be improved is the cost."

"It’s a common challenge with applications like Microsoft and SAP that they tend to rely on engineers rather than human resources personnel for knowledge and implementation."

"The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data."

"This product is not mature enough at this point in time."

"It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance."

"I would rate the stability a four out of ten. It's an area that could use improvement"

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of SAP Business One on AWS could be lower, it is expensive."

"The price of the limited version is about 70,000 Pesos ($2,900 USD), and the professional version is about double at 140,000 Pesos ($5,800 USD)."

"Pricing for me, it's not very interesting. I think it's priced at a normal level."

"The product is moderately priced."

"The price of SAP Business One on AWS is reasonable for what we use it for."

"There is an annual licensing fee, and it changes once you add or remove users. The solution is on the upper-end side and expensive."

"The product's license is expensive. It could be cheaper."

"We have an annual cost for licensing and storage in AWS."

More SAP Business One on AWS pricing and cost advice

"The product itself is relatively expensive."

"SAP may not be the most cost-effective option, but it does offer a comprehensive set of tools and features. When you have the right information, structure, and dashboard in place, it can provide excellent value. Additionally, competition with Oracle might be a factor to consider."

"The licensing of the solution is on a yearly basis. The normal price of the solution is quite high, but I received a special discount by making a purchase near the end of the year."

"The price is expensive compared to the competition."

"The solution could be less expensive."

"The price is high compared to other databases, which is why HANA is still not widely used. Some enterprises prefer Sybase, Oracle, or other traditional databases because HANA is a little pricey. Cost is one factor SAP needs to work on to make it more competitive with other databases. Otherwise, they'll never be able to develop a mass customer base."

"The solution's cost is reasonable."

"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
