Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is easy to use and not complicated. Also, it is easy to get trained on. Also, there is good information available on the web. The GP community is quite broad and there are many blogs online."
"It is strong in integration."
"I haven't used it a lot, but the best thing is that the processes are very detailed."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The system is easy to customize and has user-friendly access. "
"The most valuable feature is financial control. The accounting aspect allows us to manage our clients and payments."
"We have gained the capability to control and address various issues within the financial module effectively."
"It's enhanced by a subscription billing add-on, to efficiently automate billing and invoicing, particularly due to our substantial customer database."
"The SAP Business One is simple and it provides us the control we need."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is the ability to manage your entire business with one software package."
"The Material Requirements Planning (MRP) feature of SAP Business One has been most beneficial for our reporting needs."
"So there are a lot of features included with the ERP system."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Financial Management."
"SAP Business One has good reports and is simple to customize and use."
"It is quite simple, and it is suitable for medium and small businesses."
"Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications."
"As for room for improvement, they have different modules, project and analytical accounting, but it will be good to have that kind of part in the standard package. To have that additional reporting functionality where you can add an attribute or something, which you can report again. So you can analyze the cost by not just natural accounts but also by a project, without having to go through another module edit on top and then the other module edit on top. The more modules you add, sometimes it doesn't work that well. Additionally, it would be easier to have the solution on the cloud. That's our consideration. We are trying to move all our systems to the cloud, and GP is one of them that we are going to move in the next couple of years. I would rate the solution seven or seven point five out of ten."
"As technology changes, I would say probably in the area of chart up account needs improvement because chart up account is a string. So if they make it more flexible."
"There should also be extra redundancy when posting to modules. We use different sets of books such as CashBook and CheckBooks therefore if I select the wrong one the solution allows the transaction to just pass without warning."
"The purchase order and processing aspects of the solution should be improved."
"The biggest problem with GP is that it's not cloud based and it doesn't lend itself to subscription licensing. But Microsoft wants everything in the cloud and licensed on a subscription basis.Even tThough GP can be deployed on a cloud server, but basically, it's a Windows based product. It uses the older model and companies purchase the program and pay a 16-18 sixteen- eighteen percent annual renewal fee but Microsoft wants everybody to pay monthly or annual renewal fees on a subscription basis."
"The issue we're encountering is that it's primarily designed for independent installations and not initially structured as a cloud-based solution, which has led to challenges with connectivity."
"It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. "
"There is no dependency, the integration between the other applications."
"SAP Business One consumes a lot of network resources and bandwidth, especially when accessing the web solution, B1 Web Access."
"Our company is expanding to different countries, and business is growing. We feel that it is not good enough for the huge volume of the business. On-premises setup is not good enough for the overseas office. We have our onsite premises in Hong Kong, but we have a major sales office in the US. We are looking for a more efficient setup to fulfill our requirements and needs. It can have portals for vendors, suppliers, and customers. I know that they have this feature in version 10, but it still has space to improve."
"SAP Business One would be a great product if more customization is available."
"There are only a few standard reports available and if you want more then they either have to be downloaded or built."
"Some features are missing."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with other systems and reporting."
"The solution needs to have comprehensive visibility into the entire sales-to-purchase cycle, enabling businesses to monitor SO-PO relationships, track order progress, and generate insightful reports."
