"The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features."

"The solution is particularly effective for ERP. The automation of emails is a valuable feature for me. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. Infor CloudSuite Industrial is better for its development aspect. It allows us to customize and implement changes more efficiently. The initial setup was straightforward. I recommend the solution."
"It is a scalable solution."
"From a product perspective, it's more lenient and suitable for using features in finance, such as reconciling our payments, accounts payable, accounts receivable, etc."
"Infor CloudSuite Industrial is easy to setup. The built-in solution is already there, so we can start implementing it right away when we install it in an organization. After going through different test executions and workshops, any missing features can be added using Infor extension tables and other products. It will take at least eight to nine months to go live."
"Business One's best feature is transport management and collections."
"The sales and wholesale distribution are great."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is the price and reputation of the vendor. The solution is widely accepted around the world."

"The ability to link documents to accounts, partners and events via the Golden/Yellow Arrow feature is very useful."

"This is the most efficient ERP that is in the market right now."
"Less complicated than other similar solutions."
"Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution."
"Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle."
"There should be better clarity and agreement on all interfaces and requirements before signing a contract. This would avoid unexpected costs and complications later on."
"Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"Infor needs to work on its documentation. For example, if I need to create a business object deployment from LVN to element, the instructions for this are insufficient. Many specific use cases aren't covered in the manual."
"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement."
"The platform's distribution features need enhancement."
"The installation process could be easier. They should have better tools to improve the effectiveness of the installation."
"Production area and Bill of Materials: effective date and Subcontracting process."
"The solution could improve by providing HR payroll, quality control, and maintenance. These are the missing features which we have to use add-ons solutions to provide the functionality."
"In the next release, I would like to see the inclusion of cloud features."
"Our customers often request concurrent licensing, which is not available with SAP Business One. Adding this option would be beneficial."
"It is limiting in terms of the in-between communication for manufacturing. We are suffering from a lot of issues in production. We are now considering S/4HANA, and we are also looking for some customized tools to integrate with SAP Business One."
"Overall, the integration and the reports can be better."
"There are a lot of good improvements coming out in every version. They release a new version every quarter, with all new up-and-coming things on each one. However, it might be lacking specifications for the specific verticals. However, SAP Business One is a generic tool. It's very widely used, and I understand why it's not into each vertical. There are solution partners available out there to give it those extra areas of what it needs, but this is depending on what kind of business you run."
