"The most valuable feature is the feature called Financial Closing Cockpit. This feature allows us to monitor our accounting and processing closely.""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 find the tool’s every feature valuable.""The most valuable features of Business ByDesign are the integration of its modules, analytics, and dashboards.""The standard system is stable.""The most valuable feature of SAP Business ByDesign is it has a streamlined design.""It has a quick implementation and onboarding of users. It is flexible with reports and powerful.""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."

Cons
"Improvements could be made regarding user-friendliness and transitioning fully to a web version. Features like forex reconciliation and a cash flow planning module could enhance the solution.""The build-in dashboard and reporting customization should be improved.""The reporting Module should be improved and a drag and drop functionality should be added."

More 3i Infotech ORION Cons →

"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.""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.""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.""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.""Scalability is difficult.""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.""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."
