Stable solution but there have been problems with the deployment
Pros and Cons
  • "I believe the solution is very stable."
  • "I feel that these vendors must be well trained so that they can deploy this solution."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case of this solution will be sale purchasing and financing.

What needs improvement?

Presently the vendor that is deploying it has lots of challenges. They are implementing it now, but we've not really signed it up. The challenge we are currently facing is that we are trying to integrate it with an SSL, or adding the SSL certificate. That is proving to be quite a challenge. That's mapping the private IP address with the public IP address.

I feel that these vendors must be well trained so that they can deploy this solution. The challenge is that they know the internal configuration, but they don't know how to configure it on a server. I don't think they have good knowledge of server security. 

What we are basically using it for, is as an accounting package. So the vendors need to have a very good understanding of accounting and balancing accounts. They are not well-grounded.

For how long have I used the solution?

A vendor is currently deploying it in our organization, so we have just started using it on premises.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I believe the solution is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We currently have eight users and the only challenge I currently see is the performance. We only have a license for eight users, but we plan on increasing our usage if we are satisfied with it and if it meets our needs. So I believe the solution is scalable. 

How are customer service and technical support?

The vendor wasn't competent enough to deploy the SAP solution so I had to go online to help them resolve their issue. And I am a customer.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is rather straightforward even though we have been struggling with a few issues. 

What other advice do I have?

On a scale from one to ten, I rate this solution a seven. Additional features I would like to see in the next version is an ERP. This is an SAP Business One solution, but the HR part of SAP Business One is very limited. If they can add more features to the HR module inside the SAP Business One, it would be great.

Straightforward to set up and the support is good, but it should be more user-friendly
Pros and Cons
  • "Technical support from SAP is great."
  • "The look-and-feel of the system is quite outdated as compared to a lot of other products out there."

What is our primary use case?

We are a solution provider and SAP Business One on AWS is one of the products that we offer to our clients. Our customers are typically in the manufacturing or wholesale distribution industries. They are predominately looking at refreshing their management solution and are looking for a better-integrated system, more from the finance, stock management point of view.

Some of our clients have products that are going out of life and they want to get to the next stage, which is where I think SAP comes in.

What needs improvement?

The look-and-feel of the system is quite outdated as compared to a lot of other products out there. They are more user-friendly, I would say. As someone who has not used accounting products before, they might find it quite overwhelming.

It should be more user-friendly.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with SAP Business One on AWS for a few years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This product is very much stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a scalable solution. I have different clients of various sizes who are using it.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support from SAP is great. If you're not able to do it as a partner, you always have SAP's help.

How was the initial setup?

This solution has its own complexities because it is an ERP system, but the current version is pretty straightforward. That said, you will still need external help, as you probably couldn't do with internal IT teams.

The length of time to deploy can take anywhere from 15 or 20 days and above.

What about the implementation team?

The number of staff needed for deployment and maintenance depends on the size of the project. They are all user-dependent. Also, it depends on the complexity of deployment in terms of what kind of environment it is.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Licenses are available on a monthly or yearly basis, and it costs about $1,200 per license, per user. Given what you're getting from the system, I think it's worth it.

What other advice do I have?

This is a great product on its own, and the technicalities of it have improved as compared to the older version. I absolutely recommend it and we plan to continue selling it.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Easy to use software that helps with finance, invoicing, and accounting
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable aspect is that it is easy to use the software."
  • "Not a ten because it's not software for a structured company or something very big. That is my impression."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is for finance, invoicing and accounting.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable aspect is that it is easy to use the software.

For how long have I used the solution?

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There are limits to the analytical dimensions for the accounting. There are only three analytical dimensions. You can choose a maximum of three analytical dimensions. If you want to use a more, you can. You have to upgrade the software with a version like HANA.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We are satisfied with the price. 

What other advice do I have?

I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

Not a ten because it's not software for a structured company or something very big. That is my impression.

Pros and Cons
  • "Setting up Business One is straightforward. It took us about three months to deploy Business One on AWS."
