Integration and customization streamline complex processes for improved efficiency
The user interface in JD Edwards World is very crude; I press a button to get to the application, unlike EnterpriseOne, which offers a more finished experience with dashboards. Other software like Salesforce or Cognos offers a good user interface where users find it intuitive to navigate. It should be more accessible, even for those who have never interacted with JD Edwards World before.

Provides efficiency for small businesses, but requires costly add-ons for broader capabilities
I am currently using SAP products but not primarily selling SAP. Regarding real-time data processing capabilities, it is partially helpful for decision-making. It has built-in capability for real-time data, but it's not interactive data analytics. People need another solution such as Power BI to be integrated to get real-time data with interactive analytics. When it comes to customizing reporting in SAP Business One, it has the capability to customize reports via SAP Crystal Reports. It has a good amount of reports, but for each business, you need to understand exactly what the customer needs to customize their reports. The solution includes a mobile app to access key business information, though it is a very weak mobile app. The main benefit SAP Business One provides to users is ease of access. It's very good to present to customers, both from the interface and capabilities perspective. It's suitable for small to medium companies, making the buy-in for the solution very good. The pricing for SAP Business One is very competitive. Overall, SAP Business One is a very good solution for small to medium businesses. If your company is looking for an ERP to run end-to-end business, this is the solution. You need specific add-ons to run in specific industries, but it's approximately 70% good for most small to medium companies. My overall rating for SAP Business One is 7 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the traceability customization, which allows me to track the movement and history of artifacts in our ecosystem."
"In my use cases, JD Edwards World offers flexibility in listing capabilities."
"We've found the initial setup to be easy."
"I like that JD Edwards World is perfect for my use cases, but what I like best about it is its navigation."
"The most valuable feature in JD Edwards World is World Writer, the reporting functionality; inventory management in JD Edwards World is useful and it helps with supply chain as long as the setup is done correctly."
"Overall, its flexibility and technological capabilities make it very valuable for my customers."
"Menu creation is easier now."
"JD Edwards World is a good ERP with high security from the application design."
"Sales CRM and Financials are most valuable."
"The most valuable features of SAP Business One on AWS are the CRM and the sales module."
"SAP Business One is one of the best solutions for real-time access to all data."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Financial Management."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is its reporting capability."
"SAP Business One is pretty streamlined, with tight integration and standard best practice flows."
"It offers users a rather simple interface."
"The maintenance is a significant advantage as it is supported by the international community rather than the local community."
 

Cons

"There is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support."
"The technical support from Oracle needs a lot of improvement. Both the response time and quality of support require enhancement."
"Having tools that allow for small but fast adaptations of packages is crucial, as needing skilled programmers for every minor report or mask adaptation is a constraint my customers no longer favor."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"I have more than 18 years of JDE experience in JDE EnterpriseOne and World versions. I think JDE is good but compared to SAP and Oracle EPS, we can see which area needs to have some improvement for JDE."
"Improvements are needed in transitioning JD Edwards World to a more stable and reliable cloud product, particularly in terms of GDPR and data privacy compliance."
"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."
"The user interface in JD Edwards World is very crude; I press a button to get to the application, unlike EnterpriseOne, which offers a more finished experience with dashboards."
"Overall, the integration and the reports can be better."
"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."
"There could be enhancements in plant maintenance, quality assurance, and HR management features."
"The AI tools, programming languages, and dashboard customization should be easier."
"SAP Business One on AWS could improve by having more customization and more user-friendly automation."
"The user interface could be improved with drag-and-drop functionality that it currently lacks."
"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."
"The extension of dashboards into mobiles is something which SAP Business One has to improve on."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of JD Edwards World is reasonable. Since it is a legacy solution the price has been reduced."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable."
"You have to pay for a license, and the license cost is calculated based on the number of users you have."
"We recently acquired the license, so we are using the latest version."
"The tool's cost is reasonable."
"I would rate Business One's pricing five out of five."
"Its licensing model is good. There is a one-off payment for the software license, and after that, you only need to pay the annual maintenance fee. Compared to other cloud-based systems, this cost model is quite reasonable for SMEs."
"I rate the product pricing structure at around six out of ten due to currency fluctuations posing challenges."
"If you are in the US or Canadian the costs of SAP Business One could vary per license, it can be anywhere between $2,000 tor $5,000."
"We pay annually. It is around 800 a month."
"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."
