SAP Business One Reviews

We use the product to manage our inventory, finances, work order, and purchase order system.

Overall, it is a good product. It solves our purpose. It has customization features as well.

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

I have been using SAP Business One on AWS for 12 years.

I rate the stability of this product an eight out of ten.

I rate the scalability of the product a seven out of ten.

We contacted the technical support team a couple of times. The experience was good.

The initial setup is manageable.

The product is moderately priced. Initial costs are good, but maintenance is usually higher. They reduce the yearly license renewal cost by two to three percent.

It is a good system. I would rate SAP Business One on AWS an eight out of ten.

We are a system integration company that specializes in integrating SAP Business One. SAP Business One on AWS is suitable for those who prefer not to host their network infrastructure on-premises. This may be due to limited space or the inability to maintain the network infrastructure effectively. Therefore, migrating to AWS would be a better option for them.

The maintenance is a significant advantage as it is supported by the international community rather than the local community. This maintenance support for their system makes upgrades much more convenient than relying on a local vendor. 

I haven't yet seen the cost-benefit of being on AWS. I'm not able to compare the monthly costs, so the pricing could be improved.

I would like to achieve better integration with AWS so that it becomes more interconnected with the SAP system. If a company already has an existing HRMS system and another inventory system, integration between one on-premise and the other on AWS might pose difficulties. Integrating one system on the cloud and another on-premise seems challenging, and I can't imagine how it would work seamlessly. Perhaps it could be possible if both systems were migrated to the cloud. For example, if they move the HRMS to the cloud and ensure that the two systems can integrate with each other in the cloud.

I would like to have additional party modules available with SAP Business One. If additional accounts are available, customers can also subscribe to other supplementary products alongside SAP Business One, thus creating a package.

I have been using SAP Business One on AWS for two years.

I would rate the stability of SAP Business One on AWS as seven out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of SAP Business One on AWS as six out of ten because I am uncertain about how effectively we can copy the database or handle different sizes.

The technical support is good.

We used to utilize Oracle and Sage before transitioning to SAP Business One, which is much more robust. Once SAP Business One is configured, we no longer encounter errors even after a few months, unlike other systems where bugs and discrepancies tend to occur even after configuration. However, with SAP Business One, 99 percent of what we configure is precisely what we get.

The initial setup is straightforward and takes approximately two to three months to complete. The most time-consuming aspect of the deployment is collecting all the business requirements to properly configure some of the existing workflows.

I would rate SAP Business One on AWS nine out of ten.

The on-premises version of SAP Business One requires one engineer and two developers for maintenance.

SAP Business One is a more robust and established solution compared to the others.

It is a stable accounting system used for basic accounting like accounts payable and accounts receivables. It is very flexible. But the flexibility depends on the setup. One has to rely on a good ERP tool for certain specifications and requirements.

Consistency is the most valuable feature as it is a very rule-based application, so if you stick to the information, it is very reliable and accurate. The accounting packages are user-friendly.

The reporting can be improved. Also, it is an expensive solution, and you need consultants for new interfaces as it's very rigid otherwise. One can train themselves to do the basics, but when you have a system, you are bound to go for a new interface. The openness for the APIs is very weak. Creating interfaces afterward also becomes very expensive.

I have been using SAP Business One on AWS for two years.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution depending on how the setup was done. We did not face any scalability issues with volumes. Around twenty users are using the solution.

The technical support team is good. Also, it depends on who is providing you with the support.

The initial setup is not very difficult, but one needs to have the data and know their requirements before setup, as once it is set up, then one has to continue with that. So the better you know the data and know your specific needs, the better. I was not there during the deployment, but They went live on the first of March but were only actively processing only from the first of May. So the first two months were just so generalized from the previous application.

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.

One needs to understand their company and their requirements before choosing the solution. They should be clear as to why they are migrating from their current solution. The needs are accommodated from the gate code as subsequent adjustments. It is not always very difficult, but it is easy either at times. But depending on how your needs change, you might actually do a reinstallation.

I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

We use the solution for daily data transactions and market data.

The automation on offer is very good.

The solution is stable.

The pricing isn't too bad.

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The solution only scales a little. 

We have about 30 users on the solution currently.

At this point, we do not have plans to increase usage.

The initial setup is a bit complex. It is not extremely straightforward. It took us about a day or two to deploy the solution. 

I'm not that technical and therefore don't have many details about the general setup.

We had some outside assistance to help us with the initial setup. 

It is my understanding that we pay for a perpetual license. You just pay for it once and then handle maintenance. It is not too expensive.

We have been looking into other options as well. 

I am using an older version. It may be version four or six. 

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

Our organization has been using SAP Business One as an ERP software for overall company management, which includes production, sales, inventory management, and purchase management.

We have continued to use SAP Business ONE due to its add-ons and customization options, but there are still some areas that could use improvement.

My advice is to be ready to implement your ERP. Before selecting an ERP and starting the project, you must have a conversation with your users and clearly define your requirements. You need to familiarize them with the concept of an ERP so they can help you implement the project.
