Steven-Parker - PeerSpot reviewer
Focused on inventory and accounting production; valuable inventory control and sales recording
The Acumatica features I found most valuable are inventory control and sales recording Additional features I would like to see in the next release are more flexible reporting options. I would specifically benefit from the ability to create comparative reports for many months instead of having to…
Joseph Daniel - PeerSpot reviewer
Scalable and flexible platform with significant challenges related to complexity, cost management, and the need for skilled personnel
There are a couple of significant challenges we're currently facing. First, our production team can't make use of the production planning features, as they require a Professional license and we only have access to the Logistics license, which is limiting our capabilities. The majority of the reports we generate are intended for managerial purposes. While most reports are straightforward to comprehend, there are a few exceptions that can be quite complex. It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines. This is crucial for monitoring all activities within our manufacturing processes, from software operations to the machinery used.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The way everything integrated well with everything else was most valuable. We had one solution for everything, from the first phone call down to follow-up visits for wholesale callers and for just regular purchases."
"This solution supports multiple branches."
"The product makes it easier to overview the ERP system and manufacturing processes through different modules."
"Technical support from SAP is great."
"The initial setup of the product seems to be good."
"It is well-established and caters to our user base efficiently."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is its reporting capability."
"The way we can make changes in new fields, or make new rules with our IT department, has been very useful."
"The most valuable features of SAP Business One on AWS are the CRM and the sales module."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution doesn't have features to break down the structure for multiple people in the project."
"For support, we go through a distributor, and the support we receive from them is much better than what we would from Acumatica directly. When we went to Acumatica support directly, we were not happy with it."
"We should be able to personalize it for the company. There should be more customization of the pages so that they seem more like a company rather than as an outside company. We should be able to change company images and things like that and do this kind of personalization."
"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 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."
"The browser access needs to improve, as everybody in the industry knows how limited it is."
"There is a need to make multiple changes in the code to make a few changes in any module of the product."
"I feel that these vendors must be well trained so that they can deploy this solution."
"It would be better if the solution was on a cloud infrastructure."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very expensive for a small business. If you're a small business, it is not a very good solution in that aspect, but if you are big and have more manufacturing, it is well worth it. It comes with the ability to integrate with one website. We had to modify ours. We customized it so that we could do hundreds of websites. In Texas, I believe that we were the only one ever to be integrated with hundreds of websites. So, the development of our API probably cost us a hundred grand, and then there would be maintenance. That's all outside of the standard licensing fee."
"The price of SAP Business One on AWS is reasonable for what we use it for."
"Though I cannot specifically state whether SAP Business One on AWS is a cheap or expensive product, I can surely say that it is a manageable tool from a cost perspective."
"Licenses are available on a monthly or yearly basis, and it costs about $1,200 per license, per user."
"The price of SAP Business One on AWS could be lower, it is expensive."
"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 have an annual cost for licensing and storage in AWS."
"The tool's cost is reasonable."
"The product's license is expensive. It could be cheaper."
