Find out in this report how the two Cloud ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I find the tool’s every feature valuable."
"The most valuable features of Business ByDesign are the integration of its modules, analytics, and dashboards."
"When we were using it, we did see an immediate benefit, especially in the inventory on consignment issue. We were a biotech pre-revenue company and most of our manufacturing was outsourced. So being able to track inventory within the system without creating a financial impact was very key for us."
"I like the tool’s customization."
"The most valuable features of SAP Business ByDesign are customer invoicing and cost and revenue, from which I get the data for my project reports."
"I like its modern approach. It is very modern and new technology."
"The most valuable feature is the feature called Financial Closing Cockpit. This feature allows us to monitor our accounting and processing closely."
"When comparing SAP Business ByDesign to much larger ERP solutions, such as SAP ECC 6.0 or SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business ByDesign is more user-friendly and easier to implement."
"The most valuable aspect is that it is easy to use the software."
"The initial setup is manageable."
"It is very flexible...It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to access it from anywhere."
"The top-level view and easy navigation to individual transaction levels are beautifully done in SAP Business One."
"The product makes it easier to overview the ERP system and manufacturing processes through different modules."
"With the tool, there is no shutdown or breakdown time my company experiences."
"The initial setup of the product seems to be good."
"SAP Business ByDesign is a very vast product, but it has to be a bit more centralized. All the models need to be more centralized for a better experience."
"Scalability is difficult."
"I would like the tool’s interface to be better. Currently, we use a client application to access the product. I want that to be replaced with a web version. I would like to improve the tool’s internet availability. I also want the product’s setup to be easier."
"SAP Business ByDesign can improve the flexibility and user-friendliness of the reporting during the implementations. Customizing the reports inside the device requires a lot of knowledge and most of the time a developer level is needed. For example, if you want to have a more specific reporting layout."
"With SAP S/4HANA, you can design your release strategy and modify it to include as many people as possible, which is missing in SAP Business ByDesign."
"The payroll module of the solution could improve."
"The solution does not support customization for forms and reports. It's not flexible in case you need some enhancements in business processes."
"The Arabic localization is neglected. It should have an Arabic interface. It lacks Arabic translation or support from right to left."
"The look-and-feel of the system is quite outdated as compared to a lot of other products out there."
"The browser access needs to improve, as everybody in the industry knows how limited it is."
"It is hard for the customers to get the product from the market. Improvement-wise, it can shorten its time to reach the markets."
"There are limitations of SAP Business One. It's a complex topic, and exploring options like SAP HANA is challenging at the moment. Understanding the limitations of ERP requires thorough research. I suggest conducting some preliminary investigations into ERP products before making a decision. We chose SAP Business One as it caters to SMEs like ours, acknowledging and accepting its limitations. While a larger product exists, switching would entail budget considerations due to the ongoing implementations. Therefore, the current situation with SAP Business One is not a matter of concern."
"SAP Business One on AWS could improve by adding more functionality to the web client."
"Not a ten because it's not software for a structured company or something very big. That is my impression."
"The warehouse management system requires further improvement."
"There is a need to make multiple changes in the code to make a few changes in any module of the product."
