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.

A great choice for straight manufacturing, but not suitable for complex manufacturing models
SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module. One of my clients is a project-based organization, and they're finding it extremely difficult to manage their business using SYSPRO, to the point that they're looking at alternative solutions. The Projects and Contracts module is not a very useful tool. It does project accounting reasonably well, but in terms of putting in proper structures, like a work breakdown structure and so forth, it's actually quite poor. Their design or their architecture for the Projects module isn't good enough. They need to redesign it and redevelop it. They have made improvements. However, the problem is that if you're building on a bad foundation, then your building isn't going to be very strong. That's principally their problem. Any heavy equipment company would have a requirement to keep their equipment available for production. In that sense, SYSPRO has no maintenance management functionality. There's also no functionality for field services management. These two functionalities are critical for places like mines or for heavy equipment manufacturers who service the aftermarket and so forth. From a product perspective, this obviously isn't a good place to be because they are sort of taking themselves out of the market for quite a number of industries. They are constrained to manufacturing and distribution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It offers users a rather simple interface."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is the ability to manage your entire business with one software package."
"This is the most efficient ERP that is in the market right now."
"The documentation part and the user manuals provided by SAP are quite comprehensive."
"SAP Business One is streamlined and easy to set up, which provides major benefits for the end-users as it is very integratable for SMB."
"Its real-time data capabilities initially provided critical insights that supported our decision-making. It effectively meets our data security and compliance requirements."
"The solution is stable."
"I previously used SAGE and a couple of other solutions, but Business One is the best."
"The Financial Accounting module, in general, is quite good; it is quite simple but powerful, and similarly, the Manufacturing functionality, including a multiple level bill of materials, is also quite useful."
 

Cons

"It would be better if the solution was on a cloud infrastructure."
"SAP Business One could be improved if SAP creates one platform to integrate different solutions, particularly having a multi-company concept rather than having different databases. The solution could be similar to SAP S/4 Hana and the SAP Business ByDesign concept."
"SAP Business One on AWS could improve by adding more functionality to the web client."
"The standard mobile app from SAP is somewhat limited because there is no task planning or Gantt charts for team planning, so there are functionalities that could be improved to give a better experience and more information to the user."
"However, it might be lacking specifications for the specific verticals."
"Some features are missing."
"This is a relatively expensive solution and the cost should be reduced, especially now that there are competitors coming into the market."
"The interface needs to be improved. It needs to be more user-friendly."
"SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of SAP Business One on AWS is reasonable for what we use it for."
"Its price is reasonable. We have about 200 licenses. We have to pay every year for the license."
"The product's license is expensive. It could be cheaper."
"Pricing for me, it's not very interesting. I think it's priced at a normal level."
"The price of SAP Business One is not comparable to other solutions. SAP is a well-known brand, and its price is on the higher side. However, if the solution offers the right fit for an organization the price is not a major concern for those who choose to use it."
"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."
"Licenses are available on a monthly or yearly basis, and it costs about $1,200 per license, per user."
"There is a license to use this solution and the price is good."
