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."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 feature of SAP Business ByDesign is it has a streamlined design."
"I find the tool’s every feature valuable."
"It has a quick implementation and onboarding of users. It is flexible with reports and powerful."
"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."
"The standard system is stable."
"I like the tool’s customization."
"The most valuable features of Business ByDesign are the integration of its modules, analytics, and dashboards."
"The product makes it easier to overview the ERP system and manufacturing processes through different modules."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup of the product seems to be good."
"I believe the solution is very stable."
"It is very flexible...It is a stable solution."
"It is well-established and caters to our user base efficiently."
"The maintenance is a significant advantage as it is supported by the international community rather than the local community."
"The modules, like the accounting and procurement modules, especially the finance and accounting modules, are quite impressive in the solution."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting capability. To use it properly, you need intensive IT support. You cannot write your own reports."
"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."
"The payroll module of the solution could improve."
"The Arabic localization is neglected. It should have an Arabic interface. It lacks Arabic translation or support from right to left."
"Scalability is difficult."
"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 database needs to be more customizable."
"The warehouse management system requires further improvement."
"SAP Business One on AWS could improve by having more customization and more user-friendly automation."
"There is a need to make multiple changes in the code to make a few changes in any module of the product."
"The look-and-feel of the system is quite outdated as compared to a lot of other products out there."
"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."
"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."
