"The most valuable feature of SAP Business ByDesign is it has a streamlined design."
"The most valuable features of Business ByDesign are the integration of its modules, analytics, and dashboards."

"SAP Business One on AWS has good documentation and has many services in the cloud."
"The initial setup is manageable."
"Setting up Business One is straightforward. It took us about three months to deploy Business One on AWS."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The Arabic localization is neglected. It should have an Arabic interface. It lacks Arabic translation or support from right to left."
"The Purchase to Pay process could benefit from further sophistication and additional functionality. It would be helpful for the user community to receive clearer information about the future roadmap of the business. Unfortunately, there were some confusing articles in the German press towards the end of last year about the future of SAP Business ByDesign. Therefore, more clarity is needed in the support function to address this."
"I would say budget controlling needs improvement. I mention this because it does not have all the functionalities that we need in terms of managing the budget."
"Scalability is difficult."
"The payroll module of the solution could improve."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting capability. To use it properly, you need intensive IT support. You cannot write your own reports."
"ByDesign could be improved by making screen modifications easier."
"The database needs to be more customizable."
"SAP Business One on AWS could improve by adding more functionality to the web client."
"The reporting can be improved. Also, it is an expensive solution, and you need consultants for new interfaces as it's very rigid otherwise."
"The web client is an area with shortcomings, which SAP is presently working on, and needs to improve."
"It would be better if the solution was on a cloud infrastructure."
"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."
"The AI tools, programming languages, and dashboard customization should be easier."
"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."
"Not a ten because it's not software for a structured company or something very big. That is my impression."
