Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"SAP Business One on AWS has good documentation and has many services in the cloud.""The most valuable feature is the ability to access it from anywhere.""The maintenance is a significant advantage as it is supported by the international community rather than the local community.""It is very flexible...It is a stable solution.""Technical support from SAP is great.""The top-level view and easy navigation to individual transaction levels are beautifully done in SAP Business One.""The product is very user-friendly.""The way we can make changes in new fields, or make new rules with our IT department, has been very useful."

"With extensive data and a sizable client base, this ensures seamless operations, responsiveness, and overall reliability, addressing our enterprise-scale needs effectively.""The solution adds great value to any organization.""I appreciate the reliability and performance of SAP S/4HANA on AWS. It demonstrates high integration and stability, making it a widely used choice in various industries, including manufacturing, such as factories, carmakers, and battery production. It effectively covers a broad spectrum of business areas, which is beneficial.""We have approximately 1,000 people using the solution in my organization. The solution is scalable.""The product’s high availability is its best feature.""The product efficiently manages the data center without manual intervention.""Technical support is very good from SAP and AWS...Scalability is always available in the solution...With a stable environment, it should be running very nicely.""I like that they are very familiar with our VM which makes it easy to use."

Cons
"It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines.""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 web client is an area with shortcomings, which SAP is presently working on, and needs to improve.""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.""There is some room for improvement with the scalability and the pricing of the product.""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.""The browser access needs to improve, as everybody in the industry knows how limited it is.""The tool's cost is an area of concern where improvements are required."

More SAP Business One on AWS Cons →

"The pricing is a little bit high.""The solution needs a warehouse management feature. Right now, there's a built-in WM, but they don't have an EWM extended warehouse management built-in, in S/4HANA. It's a separate product. So if they can add that, that would be great.""The initial setup could be easier. It's complex.""The drawback of this tool versus an on-site tool is that you've got to upgrade the tool. The software is upgraded as it gets upgraded and you've got to be ready to change whatever processes and do whatever training you need to do.""SAP S4HANA could be improved by adding a click-to-deploy model.""Not just S4 but for SAP in general, the price is a little high because they have implemented a new licensing scheme on a number of connections. The price being too expensive is some of the feedback we get from our customers.""We had some storage and legacy migrations problems with SAP S4HANA on AWS.""I would rate my experience with the initial setup a three out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy."
