SAP Business One Reviews

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.

I primarily implement the solution for manufacturing companies.

The solution has helped with inventory, especially. Having the right inventory figures in the system has really helped companies. It's helpful in making cash orders for sales better due to the fact that the ordering approval process is streamlined. 

The customization features are the solution's most valuable aspect. You can make user-defined fields and user-defined forms and those make life very easy for the business. The fact that you can do some customization without going into any coding is great. 

It offers users a rather simple interface. I like its interface as it is nice and compact. It's user-friendly and easy to navigate.

The initial setup isn't too complicated.

If I compare it to bigger ERPs, I'd like to see some more time management options and maybe some better expense management features.

In terms of business processes, the production could use improvement. There could be more maintenance fields.

In some places, there are still many areas that could be enhanced. 

I've been working with the solution for a long time. It's likely been over five years at this point.

I haven't noticed any problems with stability. Security-wise, I don't see any issues in the backend of the SQL server. It's okay due to the fact that it is closed off. The reports can become heavy on SQL, so it sometimes slows down.

In general, I haven't dealt with bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze.

If the solution was more customizable, it would be more scalable. We can scale it to some extent. However, it could be a bit better. 

Typically, the partner or consultant provides technical support, and not the company itself. I wouldn't be able to directly comment on their own technical support. I don't have enough insight into it.

The initial setup isn't too complex. It's very straightforward. There is an implementation center for Business One, however, I didn't use any of it during this project. The project management activities in terms of the initial setup sometimes require authorization instead of initialization and it should maybe be better. In general, though, it's pretty logical.

The pricing is pretty good. It's not bad if you compare it to other software on the market - such as Microsoft GP or AX.

Due to the countries I work in, largely on-premises deployments are the norm and are preferred.

I used to work with different companies for Business One because my main job is as an implementer. I work as an ERP manager as well, however, my main work is implementation.

I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We've been mostly very happy with the product.

This is a complete production. We are manufacturers, especially in the manufacturing demand.

All of the production, finance, purchases, and different modules are being used in SAP Business One.

The most valuable feature of this solution is Financial Management.

The billing functionality and the integration of one department to other departments are areas that need improvement.

The price for AMC should be optional for those who do not use it.

There is no dependency, the integration between the other applications. For example, if I implement any third party, the integration will be a little bit complex.

The scalability of the data load and other aspects will also be complex. 

If you login to SAP S4HANA, it takes you a maximum of 20 seconds and with SAP Business One it will take a least one minute.

Bandwidth needs improvement.

I would like to see production integration included in the next release.

The organization has been using this solution for ten years and I joined approximately two years ago.

This solution is stable. It's perfect. We have not had any issues.

It's a scalable product.

We have contacted technical support and we are satisfied with them.

The initial setup is moderate. I can't say that it is straightforward but it is not complex, and it is not easy.

It's at a moderate level.

In terms of price, it's fair, but the problem is with AMC. We are not using any AMC support but we are still paying it.

I recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

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

I am a partner for SAP Business One and I have implemented more than 30 customers. My primary use is as a reseller. The customer's primary use varies but the product is primarily used in the automation of business functions. The specific use depends on the customer's needs.   

The features that are most valuable will vary depending on the client. Turkey is a multi-currency country. Although we have Turkish Lira as our own currency, most of the trade is going on with Euro or US dollars because of the high inflation rate or because the unit pricing is in Euros or United States dollars. But Business One can handle this multi-currency situation very well. The financial model is good, so the financial piece is a nice feature for our users in Turkey at least.  

The searching of documents is also a very good feature that most of my customers like. With it, they can find documents that they are looking for very easily. Also, there is a Yellow Arrow (i.e., Golden Arrow) linking feature to establish connections between the documents and accounts, the business partners, or events. The clients appreciate this feature for simplifying document management.   

These two features are the ones that first came to my mind as being most mentioned by clients.  

This product could be improved the most in the user interfaces. Most of the new generation users are looking for drag-and-drop functionality, which SAP does not have. Also the SAP WEB Browser access is limited to some functionalities. It would be better if a higher portion of the software is compatible with web browser.   

I have been using SAP Business One for five years now.  

I think that Business One is very stable.  

Scalability is good. It is really easy to add new users or new departments or new branches. I have gone up to 220 users without any problems. So, I think it is good at scalability in increasing the number of users.  

Our customers range is broad from the smallest to the largest of our clients. But even if the number of users in a company is small — like, for example, 20 or 25 users — I also have customers who are some of the largest 500 companies in Turkey. These companies are not creating millions of transactions. But if you look at the revenue, then all of the clients — from the smallest that we service — are larger financially than the typical small and medium-sized enterprises.  

Our technical support representative is located in Hungary and he is the perfect man for providing support. On the other hand, I know that my friends in Italy have suffered from having poor technical support. So, from what I know, I can say that the quality of support is dependent on the support team and employee you are working with.  

I have worked with different solutions. The one I worked with the most was Netsys and that was for about 10 years. Netsys is a local ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system.  

The initial setup is simple. It usually takes only a day or so.  

I think the price of Business One is reasonable considering the functionality.  

As a reseller, we evaluate various solutions. In the medium to large companies, we mostly shortlist SAP S/4HANA and SAP Business One. The clients try to decide between S/4HANA and SAP Business One. This causes some confusion sometimes because there is a huge price difference between the two products. Of course, there are big differences in functionality. The question becomes whether the functionality of SAP Business One is enough for the customer's needs or not. I try to help them in making these decisions by providing clues about how the products differ and how they could fill the customer's needs.  

My advice to people considering this tool has to do with how to use it. The result is definitely very important and often people focus on that. But if you score a successful project out of 100%, a good software may be only 40% of that. Another 40% is the team of implementers, and their knowledge and experience. This is very important. The remaining 20% is the customer. You have to know if the customer ready for this kind of project. You have to know if the customer knows what he wants to have after this project is complete. Sometimes the customer does not know what he is looking for. In that case, the project can never get finished. Yes, it is important to have a good software, but it is also important to have a good team doing the project and also have a very good understanding of the project from the customer side. All of these things together are very important.  

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Business One as an eight-out-of-ten. The additional features I would like to see to make it score higher is increased functionality supported for web browser access and more user-friendly forms and UI templates.
