Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The product makes it easier to overview the ERP system and manufacturing processes through different modules.""The modules, like the accounting and procurement modules, especially the finance and accounting modules, are quite impressive in the solution.""As a business technology platform, it is a flexible platform. It enables the customer to do faster integrations, and the solution's functioning requires low cost.""The way we can make changes in new fields, or make new rules with our IT department, has been very useful.""The product is very user-friendly.""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 most valuable feature is virtual modeling, which is beneficial because you don't really save the data multiple times the way we did in the past.""The solution does provide quite a lot of support, upgrades, automated batch updates, etc.""One of the features that I've found most useful is that It's very simple. They take care of the technical aspects of the data, installations, patches.""There's a minimum amount of downtime when using the solution. This platform is very effective.""The solution's initial setup process is straightforward.""What I like the most is that we can convert databases into a proper multi-dimensional model, and then we can project with the integration with Power BI.""The BTP module is important for digital transformations.""We have a wide range of use cases for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud. These include production planning, materials management, sales management, treasury, finance, appliance maintenance, real estate, and warehouse management."

Cons
"Not a ten because it's not software for a structured company or something very big. That is my impression.""It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines.""I would like to achieve better integration with AWS so that it becomes more interconnected with the SAP system.""I would like SAP to replace Business One's fixed Web client with a native Web solution. Right now, their remote access is based on RVP. We have to access the solution through a Windows-based client. It's not a native Web interface.""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 browser access needs to improve, as everybody in the industry knows how limited it is.""The warehouse management system requires further improvement.""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."

More SAP Business One on AWS Cons →

"Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation.""It’s a common challenge with applications like Microsoft and SAP that they tend to rely on engineers rather than human resources personnel for knowledge and implementation.""The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere.""SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors.""The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data.""Our data centers are in Europe and come under GDPR regulations, and this doesn't apply to the Middle East yet. It causes a lot of confusion.""It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance.""The product must provide more details of the errors."

  • "If you choose the minimum, it will probably cost around $1,000 USD per month if you take a contract for a year or two."

  • "The solution could be less expensive."
  • "The price is expensive compared to the competition."
  • "The price is high compared to other databases, which is why HANA is still not widely used. Some enterprises prefer Sybase, Oracle, or other traditional databases because HANA is a little pricey.
