SAP Business One Reviews

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

We use SAP Business one as a basic solution for purposes of finance. We have done integration with property management, the system and HR.

We use another system and integrate with the solution. The property, real estate management, is an additional requirement for our business.

The solution is user-friendly in comparison with Oracle.

When it comes to HR B1, there should be a standard solution for SAP itself. This issue is why we contemplated going with a different solution.

In respect of HR, we are talking about something basic. Systems should have all the functionality required for SAP functioning and this should be part of the standard module. The localization should be addressed. As we are in the Middle East, they should be familiar with our needs. We found this to be lacking.

While the setup and masters is fine, we occasionally find the templates to be confusing. I cannot say that the problem lies with SAP, but with how things are approached by them from the mandate side. So far so good. They study us and provide us with the details we need concerning how to set up the master.

Much staff is needed for deployment and maintenance. More manpower is required in a more proper manner.

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

An issue could arise for one who is not technically capable and capable of independently creating and developing certain reports, accompanied by many graphs, as seen with a dashboard framework.

At present, I don't feel we have the tools at our disposal which are available to the user himself, or the access for their creation.

We have been using SAP Business One for more than a year.

As we have yet to make full use of the solution's functionality, I am not in a positioin to comment on its stability.

The solution addresses most of our needs.

We plan to use it extensively.

We are currently using JD Edwards Oracle and are in the process of trying to shift from that to SAP.

So far so good. They study us and provide us with the details we need concerning how to set up the master.

We made use of integrators or consultants for the deployment, but preparations were made based on the requirements of the SAP.

Much staff is needed for deployment and maintenance. More manpower is required in a more proper manner.

Getting a returnt on our investment is our goal. We are expecting, at present, to see operational efficiency, something which cannot be qualified.

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

I do not have the information in my possession concerning the licensing costs.

The solution is user-friendly in comparison with Oracle.

We are both users and integrators of the solution.

While the solution is not meant for such a number, we currently have 11 users who are making use of it. For the moment, we are in a trial phase with a company that is running tests. Based on these findings, we will consider moving into multiple companies.

The solution is straightforward and I don't see any issues in this regard.

I would advise others to do thorough testing before implementing the solution.

I rate SAP Business One as a six out of ten.

Sales CRM and Financials are most valuable.

It is limiting in terms of the in-between communication for manufacturing. We are suffering from a lot of issues in production. We are now considering S/4HANA, and we are also looking for some customized tools to integrate with SAP Business One.

It should have SCM and the payroll process for workers.

I have been using this solution since 2018.

SAP's technical support is average. They are not too good but also not too bad.

We were working with legacy Oracle Customize.

Its initial setup is easy. It is not too complex.

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

A big sales organization that is not into manufacturing can use SAP Business One.

I would rate SAP Business One a six out of 10.

We use SAP Business One as a back-office role for information on products. We use SAP APIs to connect directly to our financial systems and in the cloud and for customers. It supports SMEs. We have between 10 or 20 clients using ERP.ERP is used for food resource management and vehicle car sales business. The ERP system allows control, tracking, and reporting via analysis reports. It is also useful for sales reports and historical reporting, in addition to current productivity reporting.

SAP holds more data and traceable information. Information on any issues is saved, and SAP can recreate errors on the NCP portal. Solutions to issues are also available. You can find SAP features on Android with Samsung phones.

Accounting is a good feature, hence why we use SAP Business One. We use a single application to handle and control our resources. We also leave it overnight to process our purchasing tasks. All this is held in one secure database. The system provides information on products sent out to the customer. The system holds data and AI voice data. It also includes accounting control. So there are a lot of features included with the ERP system. We support SAP as we have a lot of experience within the team.

SAP could improve the performance of the business alignment with other products.

We have 10 years of experience with SAP Business One.

Overall, the ERP solutions are stable, but it is more complicated and is not always stable for some customers. It helps to understand the product so you can manage it.

SAP is scalable, as the versions of HANA are constantly being updated. They are currently up to version 6.

Technical support is very good.

Setup is okay generally, but not so easy with integrated products such as Microsoft 365.

Implementation is often complicated on the manufacturing side, as it requires integrations with .net. It usually involves using highly skilled SAP consultancy. It is often difficult for the implementer to integrate add-ons and customization, which deviate from a standard installation. I often work with the implementor, and this helps my learning curve. It isn't easy to learn at the beginning. Sometimes, while the implementation occurs, people use Excel and other control documents as a workaround until the system is ready.

We compared the Microsoft solution with Oracle NetSuite, as they have a price decrease. It is, however, not that much cheaper, and the price is comparable to SAP.

We have considered using an add-on to the pack using Oracle NetSuite. They don't have a simple method of using the console or for the implementer to create an add-on. They said it was difficult to communicate on the cloud. There were also some defects when they tried to control everything on their contact form. So it didn't work very well.

It is simple for users to use, but we can design and understand how to customize the menus for technical staff. It takes a lot of experience to technically understand the environment, especially when you need to integrate other systems such as the HANA database. We need to have more Linux and freedom experience, but not as much as with Microsoft SQL Server. You also need network knowledge, which is something you can compare the HANA database to. 

I would rate SAP at about 8 out of 10.

Our primary use case of the product is for creating sales orders, checking inventory, creating searches, things like that. We are resellers and implementers and I'm a senior consultant. 

I like this solution because it's fully integrated which means everything is connected. When we raise a sales order, everything is there so we don't need to go back to the purchase or finance departments to get what we need. They've made lots of improvements on the visuals and the usability in this latest version. The dashboards, interface and security are all amazing. 

This is a relatively expensive solution and the cost should be reduced, especially now that there are competitors coming into the market. I'd like to see some advanced HR model with payroll, because it's lacking in this area. 

I've been using this solution for five years. 

This is a stable solution. 

The solution is scalable up to 150 users which is fine for us because we're a relatively small company. Depending on the time of year, we have a maximum of 30 users. 

We haven't had direct contact with technical support but some of our clients use them.  We tend to provide the support for clients in our region. 

We're implementers, so the initial setup is easy for us.  

We have a permanent license with an annual maintenance contract. 

I would recommend this product but it's important to take your budget into account. 

I rate this solution a seven out of 10. 

We use it for finance, warehouse, and sales.

All parts for inventory control, project budget, accounting, and business information are valuable.

It is very friendly to obtain information. It is also very easy to make the changes that we need. We have a developer with us, and he can make the required changes or rules.

There should be a portal so that our providers can give us their invoices. This is something that it is missing currently. SAP provides such a portal with SAP ERP, but it is not available with SAP Business One.

I have been using this solution for two years. We implemented it in 2019.

It is stable. When you're using a public cloud, it can be a little slow, which depends on your cloud provider. In the beginning, it was very slow. We then switched to Amazon, and since then, we haven't had any problems.

I haven't used their technical support. We have a developer for any help.

Its implementation is really easy. The hardest part is to change the process flow of the company.

We evaluate every solution very closely before purchase. It gives us what we need, and we are using all the features that we need. We haven't had any problems.

It is very important to go for a contract that doesn't include paying your public cloud provider's company for development. It will give you the possibility to make your own changes without having to pay your public cloud vendor. You need to check the contracts to ensure that you can make changes without requesting the support of the public cloud vendor.

I would rate SAP Business One a nine out of ten.

The solution is pretty straightforward to set up and gets easier over time.

Technical support has been quite good.

We've found the stability to be very good.

We aren't overly satisfied with the solution. We are moving away from it.

The solution needs to be implemented properly, otherwise, a company will not be able to get the full benefit of the product.

They need to do more with, budget planning within the solution, in terms of financial budgeting. Right now, we can only input values at our sales target, however, we can't input numbers. The solution also needs to look at the monthly balance. There will need to have some type of maintenance in there. Yet, there is no model for maintenance. If you buy it you need to go and find another solution for your maintenance however, if they can do a maintenance solution within this solution that that would be a wonderful thing.

I've been using the solution for seven years or so. It's been a while. I've spent a lot of time on it.

The stability is very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash and freeze. It's very reliable in terms of performance.

Our business has grown beyond the capabilities of Business One. We need a bigger ERP solution, and therefore we are moving away. We're looking at SAP S/4 HANA since we already use other SAP products.

We currently have 101 users. In the future, we'll be looking at 130 to 150 users.

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

We are actually going to move over to S/4HANA. We looked at Oracle, however, we decided on SAP as we already had SAP products. I've worked with a lot of ERP and other products, including other SAP products.

The initial setup is not overly complex. It's pretty straightforward. However, at the outset, when we were fresh users, it seemed to be a bit complex. Over time, you get more and more comfortable with the process.

The price of the solution itself is not the issue, however, the cost of the licensing is strange. No other ERP that concurrent licensing. As I have what will be a hundred users at the time to use it, doesn't matter whether Samuel or George come on, SAP requires an individual attached to a license. That means even if a person is no longer a user, we have to untie the license so nobody can use that license. I need to fill it with a different person.

I am a customer and end-user of the product.

I'd recommend the product to others. Anyone who wants to use SAP Business One should do so. It's a good solution. They need to get a good implementer, however, as if it's not implemented well, you will have issues. 

I'd rate the solution at a six out of ten. At first, we really liked it, however, as of now, we need to change as it no longer meets our needs.

I work in a small college. It is a small to medium-sized enterprise, with few requirements. We are in the service sector and this product works for us.

We have done some integrations with our operational software. We are doing the billing, warehouse management, and inventory management.

We are doing financials.

We also do a full end-to-end procurement from purchasing.

It's simple to use and very direct.

I like the simplicity and that it's not very complicated.

I would like to see some shortcuts. Sometimes, you find that you have used some ERPs and other systems that make use of external data from applications such as Excel. If you have some information in Excel and you want to easily customize it for entry for SAP then this is an area that is a problem. If you want to do this then it becomes difficult. I know that there are avenues where it can be done, but it becomes difficult. It is much more difficult when you compare it with what I have experienced with some other systems. 

I am not sure if it has an HR and Payroll functionality, but it would be helpful and make it a more complete ERP if they could put the HR and Payroll functionality in it.

I have been worked with this solution for six years.

It's a stable solution. We haven't had any limitations yet.

We have approximately 50 users.

We haven't contacted technical support through SAP.

We have a local support partner here. When we have some small issues, we are able to go through them and they help us.

The initial setup was straightforward. It wasn't very difficult.

We don't require a team for maintenance.

We feel that the licensing fees are a bit on the higher side. If there is a scope for reductions, it would be very welcome.

The price could always be reduced.

I would recommend Business One to someone who is the in the scale of what we do. It's a pretty stable system. That said, there is always room for improvement in any product.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use it for all business processes such as finance, CRM, banking, treasury management, inventory, and purchases. We use all the modules in the suite.

I like analytics, dashboard, and KPIs a lot. It is very helpful when I need to check balances and financial statements.

We would like a mobile version of this for sales exhibits, etc. We would also like more personalization features to personalize it for our organization.

I have been using this solution for a year.

It is very good in terms of stability.

At the moment, we are a small organization. We have about ten active users. We are a growing company. In the future, we will get to know whether we can easily scale it or not.

Their support has been good. It has been a long time since we had any problem.

We had a lot of solutions. Basically, it has accounting, so we decided to move to this solution to meet our business needs.

It was a bit complex. This kind of implementation was new to us. Basically, we had to renew the data center, which required a lot of configuration. We also had to change a lot of permissions. The deployment took around two months.

We used a consultant. They listened to all of our problems. There were some problems that they didn't know how to solve, but overall, they were good. We had two people for its deployment. 

We have two people for the maintenance of the data center. We have one internal person and one external person.

We pay annually. It is around 800 a month.

I would recommend doing proper testing because it is not a simple solution. It has many options and features.

I would rate SAP Business One a nine out of ten. It is a good solution.
