SAP Business One Reviews

During the current times, amid the pandemic, having this solution allows us to much more ably work at home. You don't need to go to the office to access your ERP. 

The most valuable feature is the ability to access it from anywhere. We can collaborate as a team from all different locations.

Putting it on the cloud gives you cost-effectiveness and the power to easily scale up, either horizontally or vertically.

The browser access needs to improve, as everybody in the industry knows how limited it is. Everybody is excited for the next version to come out with the web-based client.

I would like to see a full Linux version available in the future.

I have been working with SAP Business One on AWS since 2015. We have been using the main product, Business One, since 2006.

This product is very stable.

If you need additional resources then all you have to do is adjust it, unlike an on-premises solution where you have to replace hardware and experience downtime. Having it on the cloud essentially gives you the power to scale it up, any time you want it.

We have about 60 users in our company and we are managing about 100 clients. SAP supports organizations of all sizes but it mainly targets medium-sized and enterprise-level companies.

Everybody in the SAP team, including the partners, are very knowledgable about the product at both the technical and the functional level.

The initial setup is very easy. If you are very familiar with the product then it will take you less than an hour to deploy. Integrating it is also easy to do. The majority of time for deployment would be with the installation itself, as opposed to the configuration because it is very straightforward.

In total, it will take less than a day to fully deploy on the cloud.

We have an in-house team to handle the integration of this product into different solutions. We have industry-specific implementation services for retail, manufacturing, real estate, and others.

Including the administrator, project manager, and consultants, you normally need less than five people to deploy. We have five people in our application support team that can take care of maintenance.

When it comes to ROI, our clients who concern themselves with it are comparing cloud-based deployments to on-premises deployments. The companies that are investing a lot of money in their on-premises server don't mind investing more if it means transitioning them to the cloud. The security is better and accessibility improved, which is worth the investment.

SAP is a fair price and you get what you pay for. There are two versions, being a limited and a professional one. In some companies, they call the professional one the "Super User".

The price of the limited version is about 70,000 Pesos ($2,900 USD), and the professional version is about double at 140,000 Pesos ($5,800 USD).

If you need to integrate with other third-party software then you need to purchase Indirect Licenses, which are in addition to the standard fees. There would also be an implementation cost in this case.

When this solution is installed, there are three servers. One is Active Directory, the second is the remote desktop, and the third is the SAP Database Server. In version 9.3, it is not purely cloud-based, which is why you need the remote desktop. In the upcoming version, 10.0, there will be a web-based client, which means that the entire solution will be purely cloud-based. This will result in better client experience.

My advice for anybody who is implementing SAP Business One on AWS is to be prepared. You have to understand the product really well before beginning the implementation. There are several certifications and accreditations available from SAP that are available in the training, which is a good place to start.

I also suggest getting the best consultants and technical team to assist with implementation.

The biggest lesson that I have learned from working with this solution is that you cannot learn enough by just reading about it. You need to have real-life, hands-on experience with implementing it and using it. There are a lot of things to learn and the biggest benefits come from experiencing it yourself. The documentation is okay but it is not a substitute for experience.

Overall, this is a really good product and I would rate it a ten out of ten.

The Material Requirements Planning (MRP) feature of SAP Business One has been most beneficial for our reporting needs.

The solution's CRM module can be made better. SAP Business One does not have an HRMS.

I have been using SAP Business One for four years.

SAP Business One is a stable solution that provides many updates.

Our clients for SAP Business One are usually small and medium-level businesses.

I rate the solution ten out of ten for scalability.

It's difficult to implement the system and get the client's requirements, but after that, it's good.

It takes around two to three months to implement the main parts of SAP Business One.

If the client's budget is low, they go for SAP Business One. If their budget is high, they go for other products.

SAP Business One is really good and has helped many organizations to fix their inventory management processes. The solution's CRM functionalities are good, but not that good. We can integrate other CRM systems like Salesforce and Odoo with SAP Business One.

Depending on the customer's needs, the solution can be deployed both on-premises and on the cloud. Gathering client requirements is a big challenge for us during the solution's implementation. I would recommend the solution to other SMBs.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I use SAP Business One on AWS for simple interactive services in many facilities.

The initial implementation is not straightforward. It took approximately three months to complete. The process could be easier.

We used a consultant to do the implementation.

SAP Business One is a cost-effective solution. The price is good and we pay for a subscription annually.

We do a security audit every six months. Which includes coding and scanning, everything is good.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate SAP Business One a seven out of ten.

Business One is an ERP system that covers accounting, supply chain, production, etc. 

I would like SAP to replace Business One's fixed Web client with a native Web solution. Right now, their remote access is based on RVP. We have to access the solution through a Windows-based client. It's not a native Web interface. 

I've been using Business One for two years.

Business One is stable.

Business One is scalable. About 25 people in the company are currently using it. 

I'm very satisfied with SAP's technical support. They took action on our issue quickly. 

I previously used SAGE and a couple of other solutions, but Business One is the best.

Setting up Business One is straightforward. It took us about three months to deploy Business One on AWS.

We pay for a yearly license.

I rate Business One eight out of 10. 

We are a reseller, and it is used in different industries, such as the manufacturing industry, perfume industry, steel fabrication, distribution, etc.

We are selling both on-premises and cloud versions, but it is more on-premises.

Add-ons that can be implemented are most valuable.

It could have RPA automation and RPA elements. There could also be add-ons for a Document Management System and Warehouse Management System.

We have been selling SAP Business One for the last five years.

It is very stable.

It is scalable. You can add any number of users. 

It is ideal for the mid-sized market. In Dubai, there are a lot of SMBs, and it is ideal for them. 

We are providing the support, and we get good support from SAP. I am satisfied with their performance.

It is straightforward. Its implementation takes about two months. 

For its implementation, from the client-side, we need about three people. One finance manager should be there.

I would recommend this solution. I would recommend looking at the case studies and implementations done by a reseller. You should see if they have implemented it in a similar industry. You should also write a list of your specific requirements on paper.

I would rate it a nine out of 10.

My customers use SAP Business One mostly for retail, accounting, and inventory control. They have a detailed roadmap for improvements they will provide.

The solution has all the basic features that are required for us.

There are improvements needed. However, they provide improvements over time.

I have been using SAP Business One for approximately 13 years.

The stability of SAP Business One is good.

SAP Business One is scalable. The customization features can be scaled up based on your needs.

We have been in touch with the support but most of the problems we handle ourselves.

I rate the technical support a five out of five.

The initial setup is straightforward, it is easy to do.

SAP Business One is a cost-effective solution.

SAP Business One is cost-effective, user-friendly, and is suitable for the enterprise segment. I would recommend it as an SME segment product.

I rate SAP Business One a nine out of ten.

We use this solution to have the information in real time. We are working on financial reports now. The solution is on-premises right now, but we will move to the cloud after the implementation.

We moved from SAP CRM to SAP Business One and we are implementing it. We started to implement it twice and put the old stuff in the ERP, like all of the documents, and invoicing, including CRM. Right now CRM is 90% working.

The relationship map is very useful for us. We can move one document to another level and have all of that information in one click.

We can see everything connected with the document or that might be in that document.

Security could be improved. A few days ago, we learned that this model of Java has some gaps in security and these gaps were updated and covered. We have reloaded a new version of the program, which has this gap excluded.

We have a lot of users working in this ERP, so connection is very important. It's important to have very strong security connections by VP or others. We started implementing on-premises and we are moving to the cloud.

The standard solutions and reports are okay, but configuring it is too hard to do. We are in this period that maybe helps us to do this work right now. The procedure will be developed in the right way and we will have the optimal method and technical uses for the operation in this CRM. Opportunities and sales orders are included in this CRM.

We have a list to develop this solution. We have information from the last historical period and adapted this information to the new ERP. We're invoicing right now, only in SAP. We haven't done the final procedure to the financial report, to the logistical report, to the warehouse, and so on. We need more reports for the warehouse, for personnel, and the HR module is missing in SAP Business One. 

It is useful because all companies have the payroll outside from their outsourcing companies. We also have that, but it is better to have all of that in the ERP.

We have been using this solution for 15 months. We are on version 10.2.

The solution is stable, but they are ready to improve our requirements. We are working very closely with consultants from SAP partners.

We have about 25 users. We have plans to increase usage because we have a new employee in sales. It is in our budget and forecast for hires and so on. For now, we have covered all positions for users.

We haven't worked directly with SAP's technical support, but we have support from the company which helped us implement the solution. I am satisfied with their work because they respond very quickly. If we have questions or technical problems, or a new user, they are very timely.

Setup has been okay for us because we have been modulating with other partners and other customers.

Implementation was done by another company. They are gold partners of SAP.

The price is a bit expensive. They were planning implementation to only take nine or ten months, but because it was longer, the cost was also increased.

I would rate this solution 8 out of 10. 

My advice is that we need to have the project manager from the customer, like where I implement this ERP or another one. It's important to make a very real picture of the informational flow, and the organizational structure, and all kinds of documents that we wanted to have in this ERP, in real time and after the closing period. There needs to be some report to follow up with these reports to verify all the information.
