Cons
"Analytics could be much better.""I would like to achieve better integration with AWS so that it becomes more interconnected with the SAP system.""SAP Business One on AWS could improve by having more customization and more user-friendly automation.""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.""Not a ten because it's not software for a structured company or something very big. That is my impression.""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.""There is some room for improvement with the scalability and the pricing of the product.""There is a need to make multiple changes in the code to make a few changes in any module of the product."

More SAP Business One on AWS Cons →

"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a three out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.""There are a few complexities when it comes to licensing that could be simplified.""SAP S4HANA on AWS could improve by having more data centers because there are limited data centers in the region I am in. Amazon AWS has announced a few more data centers to be added, but they're still not 100 percent operational for SAP solutions.""The initial setup could be easier. It's complex.""The tool should undergo an overall improvement, including support. Data sharing should also be faster.""The product can be very complex.""The AI aspect of SAP S4HANA can be improved.""The pricing is a little bit high."
