Provides efficiency for small businesses, but requires costly add-ons for broader capabilities
I am currently using SAP products but not primarily selling SAP. Regarding real-time data processing capabilities, it is partially helpful for decision-making. It has built-in capability for real-time data, but it's not interactive data analytics. People need another solution such as Power BI to be integrated to get real-time data with interactive analytics. When it comes to customizing reporting in SAP Business One, it has the capability to customize reports via SAP Crystal Reports. It has a good amount of reports, but for each business, you need to understand exactly what the customer needs to customize their reports. The solution includes a mobile app to access key business information, though it is a very weak mobile app. The main benefit SAP Business One provides to users is ease of access. It's very good to present to customers, both from the interface and capabilities perspective. It's suitable for small to medium companies, making the buy-in for the solution very good. The pricing for SAP Business One is very competitive. Overall, SAP Business One is a very good solution for small to medium businesses. If your company is looking for an ERP to run end-to-end business, this is the solution. You need specific add-ons to run in specific industries, but it's approximately 70% good for most small to medium companies. My overall rating for SAP Business One is 7 out of 10.

Pros

"The tool's usability is straightforward."
"It is an affordable ERP system and rich in functionality, providing good control of processes."
"The three most crucial pieces are the financial modules, the banking module, and the management module."

Cons

"The reporting Module should be improved and a drag and drop functionality should be added."
"The system has enough controls, but still there is scope for improvement."
"Improvements could be made regarding user-friendliness and transitioning fully to a web version. Features like forex reconciliation and a cash flow planning module could enhance the solution."
"The build-in dashboard and reporting customization should be improved."
"With Business One, you have too much spare functionality. It doesn't create value for the business, but it creates a higher workload for employees in terms of payer processes, administration, development, etc."
"For the standard process in SAP Business One, everything is good, but when integrated with some third-party integrations, there is some lag and sometimes no error message about what is happening and where it is stuck."
"Every time that we want to integrate with another system that we have, there are not so many APIs that are available."
"Business One would be improved with a customization option."
"Currently, SAP Business One only has ERP modules and lacks HR or payroll modules."
"In the next release, I would like to see the inclusion of cloud features."
"There is a need to make multiple changes in the code to make a few changes in any module of the product."
"This is a relatively expensive solution and the cost should be reduced, especially now that there are competitors coming into the market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten. Customizations can cost you extra money."
"The solution is moderately priced. The licensing cost is around sixty thousand USD for annual maintenance. If you're using an application-specific license, it is a little cheaper. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The price of the solution is fair compared to competitors."
"We recently acquired the license, so we are using the latest version."
"The price of SAP Business One on AWS could be lower, it is expensive."
"I rate the price of SAP Business One a seven out of ten."
"The product is moderately priced."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"There is an annual licensing fee, and it changes once you add or remove users. The solution is on the upper-end side and expensive."
"We pay annually. It is around 800 a month."
"The price of SAP Business One is high for smaller businesses to afford. The currency plays a large part in the fluctuation of the solution's price when we convert the USD to our local currency. $1,400 is for a limited license and $3,700 is for a professional license."
