SAP Business One has been used in my organization to make life easier for us accountants to implement our financial statements, create our AR invoices, and our general ledgers.

SAP Business One has improved the way we work because we used to have to enter manually, such as filling in invoices. Using SAP Business One has made our accountant's work a lot easier. All the accountants worldwide use the SAP software because they can create financial statements with a click of a button. It's amazing.

The most valuable features of SAP Business One are that it has plenty of features and an easy general ledger entry. Additionally, we have an internal team that supports the solution and they provide is good. The solution is easy for us to support.

SAP Business One could improve by automatically inputting exchange rates in the software. We currently have to enter them manually to find the appropriate exchange rates from a website. If it could be done with one click it would be helpful and more straightforward.

We have one person in our IT department that does the maintenance and support of this solution.

I have been using SAP Business One for approximately eight years.

I had been working with SAP for ten years.

I would rate the stability an eight out of ten. There is room for improvement in stability.

I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten. There are more than 1000 people working with this solution in our company.

The initial setup is easy.

Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten.

The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is the dashboards.

The extension of dashboards into mobiles is something which SAP Business One has to improve on.

It's very difficult to talk about improvements in an ERP because every ERP has a focus. For example, if you pick Oracle, it goes well with finance. There is a lot deeper you can get in. However, SAP Business One has made everything more balanced among all the different functionalities of a medium-level company. Starting from CRM, the service module, project management, inventory, and distribution management it has a perfect blend of features. Whereas if you only asked about the functionality, there are hundreds of functionality you can add. There is no end to it.

I have been using SAP Business One for approximately six years.

SAP Business One is stable, it is fantastic.

I have found SAP Business One to be highly scalable.

The service support is fabulous. There are a lot of knowledge bases available, white papers, and technical articles. Everything is available. Additionally, there is training available, SAP is providing a fantastic knowledge base.

I'm working only on two products, SAP Business One and SAP Signavio Process Manager. SAP Signavio Process Manager was a recent acquisition of SAP.

The initial setup is straightforward. However, it is important to know about the business process.

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.

People have to really look at the product they are wanting to use. Today with a lot of automation and additional features people jump on the bandwagon and have features they do not need. There is digital transformation, business transformation, digitization, these are many buzz words out there on the market. 

My advice to the clients is to look back to your drawing board to understand your business processes. Once you document them properly, then you can find which transaction can be automated. You then need to look at the right tool that will be the right fit. I would not suggest selecting the prescription model, whether it is Oracle, Microsoft, or SAP they are all good. Everything is good as long as it meets your requirements. No one other than you can define what exactly are your requirements. This is what exactly I'm helping the customers with.

I go into the customer's business or location. I set up the whole expectations as well as the requirements and business processes model using one of the tools, such as Visual Paradigm or Signavio. Then the customer will be able to understand which will be the right fit, whether it's Microsoft, SAP Business One, Oracle, NetSuite. I'm not a prescriptive model person, I'm a consultative selling person. My advice to the people who are looking for an ERP is to please don't look at ERP as a magic wand. It is not going to solve your problems unless you are clear about what your problems are. Automating a wrong process is not going to give you any sort of productivity increase. Automating a wrong process is going to give you more unwanted information.

I rate SAP Business One a nine out of ten.

I am a partner for SAP Business One and I have implemented more than 30 customers. My primary use is as a reseller. The customer's primary use varies but the product is primarily used in the automation of business functions. The specific use depends on the customer's needs.   

The features that are most valuable will vary depending on the client. Turkey is a multi-currency country. Although we have Turkish Lira as our own currency, most of the trade is going on with Euro or US dollars because of the high inflation rate or because the unit pricing is in Euros or United States dollars. But Business One can handle this multi-currency situation very well. The financial model is good, so the financial piece is a nice feature for our users in Turkey at least.  

The searching of documents is also a very good feature that most of my customers like. With it, they can find documents that they are looking for very easily. Also, there is a Yellow Arrow (i.e., Golden Arrow) linking feature to establish connections between the documents and accounts, the business partners, or events. The clients appreciate this feature for simplifying document management.   

These two features are the ones that first came to my mind as being most mentioned by clients.  

This product could be improved the most in the user interfaces. Most of the new generation users are looking for drag-and-drop functionality, which SAP does not have. Also the SAP WEB Browser access is limited to some functionalities. It would be better if a higher portion of the software is compatible with web browser.   

I have been using SAP Business One for five years now.  

I think that Business One is very stable.  

Scalability is good. It is really easy to add new users or new departments or new branches. I have gone up to 220 users without any problems. So, I think it is good at scalability in increasing the number of users.  

Our customers range is broad from the smallest to the largest of our clients. But even if the number of users in a company is small — like, for example, 20 or 25 users — I also have customers who are some of the largest 500 companies in Turkey. These companies are not creating millions of transactions. But if you look at the revenue, then all of the clients — from the smallest that we service — are larger financially than the typical small and medium-sized enterprises.  

Our technical support representative is located in Hungary and he is the perfect man for providing support. On the other hand, I know that my friends in Italy have suffered from having poor technical support. So, from what I know, I can say that the quality of support is dependent on the support team and employee you are working with.  

I have worked with different solutions. The one I worked with the most was Netsys and that was for about 10 years. Netsys is a local ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system.  

The initial setup is simple. It usually takes only a day or so.  

I think the price of Business One is reasonable considering the functionality.  

As a reseller, we evaluate various solutions. In the medium to large companies, we mostly shortlist SAP S/4HANA and SAP Business One. The clients try to decide between S/4HANA and SAP Business One. This causes some confusion sometimes because there is a huge price difference between the two products. Of course, there are big differences in functionality. The question becomes whether the functionality of SAP Business One is enough for the customer's needs or not. I try to help them in making these decisions by providing clues about how the products differ and how they could fill the customer's needs.  

My advice to people considering this tool has to do with how to use it. The result is definitely very important and often people focus on that. But if you score a successful project out of 100%, a good software may be only 40% of that. Another 40% is the team of implementers, and their knowledge and experience. This is very important. The remaining 20% is the customer. You have to know if the customer ready for this kind of project. You have to know if the customer knows what he wants to have after this project is complete. Sometimes the customer does not know what he is looking for. In that case, the project can never get finished. Yes, it is important to have a good software, but it is also important to have a good team doing the project and also have a very good understanding of the project from the customer side. All of these things together are very important.  

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Business One as an eight-out-of-ten. The additional features I would like to see to make it score higher is increased functionality supported for web browser access and more user-friendly forms and UI templates.  

It's used for process automation across various business departments. For instance, in manufacturing, it manages tasks such as raw materials and sales orders.

We primarily use it for finance and invoicing. So, it has streamlined our operations.

The reporting is sufficient for our needs, assisting significantly in decision-making.

I like its simplicity and integration capabilities, especially regarding its user interface.

I like its ease of use. Moreover, it is easy to integrate it with other solutions due to available APIs, though challenges may arise if the third-party system lacks them.

It's user-friendly and comes with specific manuals. So, it is easy to learn to use SAP Business One

In its licensing model and the offering of a pure SaaS solution, which would interest many customers today.

Our customers often request concurrent licensing, which is not available with SAP Business One. Adding this option would be beneficial.

In future releases, I'd enhance its capabilities to handle point-of-sale transactions, which is currently not available.

I have been using it for three years now.

It's a stable product, on the market for more than 20 years, continually evolving and supported with upgrades.

In my region, there are around 450 customers.

The installation isn't difficult but requires about three to four months on average as it's not plug-and-play.

It's not cheap but offers good value, particularly for medium-sized enterprises. We suggest a minimum budget of around 30,000 dollars.

My recommendation depends on your current setup. If you're starting from scratch, SAP Business One is highly recommended. If you already have an established system, it would be considered an upgrade.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. In terms of usability and industry fit, I find that a lot of customers are able to get at least 80% of their business needs addressed by the solution.

I was using this solution for small to medium-sized businesses.

The solution has helped customers because it is more user-friendly than the SAP ERP.

The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is its user-friendly and useful business module.

The solution could improve by having better integration with other systems and reporting.

The solution can be improved by allowing customers to move to the cloud. Additionally, more support can be provided on the web client end.

We have been using the solution for a year and are currently using version 10.

The solution is scalable. There are currently six users utilizing the solution.

The initial setup is not difficult for on-premises but difficult for cloud. Implementation took approximately six months.

I rate the solution a six out of ten. The solution is good but can be improved by providing options for the solution to be moved to cloud.
