Mahmoud Paridehpour - PeerSpot reviewer
VP of Ecommerce & Information Systems at Four Seasons General Merchandise
Offers extensive features for efficient operations in small to midsize businesses
The solution is very good. However, for very small companies, maybe a cloud service is better. Other software like QuickBooks may work well if you do not have many employees and require simple invoicing and inventory. This software, though, is a bit more advanced compared to QuickBooks, offering flexibility, multi-user capability, and options for application development. It connects directly to the database for reporting or external systems, which is beneficial for companies needing more advanced features. However, if I need a very complex system, Sage might not be suitable. Overall, I would rate this product an eight out of ten.

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

"Regarding the cost, it is cheap. I pay a one-time fee instead of a monthly license fee per user."
"The product provides consistent updates and upgrades."
"The warehouse module is imperative in keeping our records up-to-date because we have multiple locations."
"The technical support is very good."
"For me, it is a ten because I did not have any problems or issues."
"I would recommend this solution to new users."
"We have been satisfied with the technical support."
"Its real-time data capabilities initially provided critical insights that supported our decision-making. It effectively meets our data security and compliance requirements."
"SAP Business One is one of the best solutions for real-time access to all data."
"The graphical view of connections between different transactions is a valuable feature of the solution."
"SAP Business One is for startup companies, who are growing and they want to come in from previously using QuickBooks or something similar, this is the best choice for them."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is all the functionality of the modules together. It is a full-featured solution."
"We are providing the support, and we get good support from SAP."
 

Cons

"We're definitely looking at a new system because everything in this product needs improving."
"The vendor stopped supporting the solution on the Linux platform."
"While the software may not be very expensive, it lacks many advanced features found in other software."
"Updating incorrect information takes a specific process to correctly back out the error to fix it."
"In terms of business processes, the production could use improvement."
"We aren't overly satisfied with the solution."
"Our company is expanding to different countries, and business is growing. We feel that it is not good enough for the huge volume of the business. On-premises setup is not good enough for the overseas office. We have our onsite premises in Hong Kong, but we have a major sales office in the US. We are looking for a more efficient setup to fulfill our requirements and needs. It can have portals for vendors, suppliers, and customers. I know that they have this feature in version 10, but it still has space to improve."
"Analytics could be much better."
"SAP Business One could improve project management, quality assurance, material management, forecasting, full costing, and quality control. Many modules are missing in this solution."
"More support can be provided on the web client end."
"Business One doesn't have a proper master data management function."
"Business One's production module has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"In terms of price, it's fair, but the problem is with AMC."
"I rate the price of SAP Business One a seven out of ten."
"SAP has a high cost of licensing."
"The tool's cost is reasonable."
"We recently acquired the license, so we are using the latest version."
"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."
"On average, the licensing costs can be around 50,000 USD. Pricing of the product has certain variables, including the number of licenses and the implementation costs."
"It's not cheap but offers good value, particularly for medium-sized enterprises."
