Featured Reviews

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…
Muhammad Shehzad - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides easy navigation to individual transaction levels and good stability
The warehouse management system requires further improvement. Right now, there is no built-in application for using barcodes or QR codes by the warehouse or operational teams. Customers often rely on third-party add-ons for such features. There should be a mobile-based handheld application, especially for the warehouse team or the operational team, to use barcode-based or QR-based scanning. In additional features, it would be great if the mobile application supported barcode and QR code usage. If this feature is available, it would be very useful.

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."
"With the tool, there is no shutdown or breakdown time my company experiences."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is its reporting capability."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to access it from anywhere."
"The production and planning processes of the solution are very good."
"It is very flexible...It is a stable solution."
"Setting up Business One is straightforward. It took us about three months to deploy Business One on AWS."
"SAP Business One on AWS has good documentation and has many services in the cloud."
"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

"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."
"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."
"The technical support from SAP is very restricted to its knowledge base. It does not add much beyond what is already available in the knowledge base."
"The web client is an area with shortcomings, which SAP is presently working on, and needs to improve."
"There is some room for improvement with the scalability and the pricing of the product."
"It is hard for the customers to get the product from the market. Improvement-wise, it can shorten its time to reach the markets."
"Not a ten because it's not software for a structured company or something very big. That is my impression."
"The reporting can be improved. Also, it is an expensive solution, and you need consultants for new interfaces as it's very rigid otherwise."
"It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines."
"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."
 

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 tool's cost is reasonable."
"On average, the licensing costs can be around 50,000 USD. Pricing of the product has certain variables, including the number of licenses and the implementation costs."
"The price of SAP Business One on AWS is reasonable for what we use it for."
"We have an annual cost for licensing and storage in AWS."
"The product's license is expensive. It could be cheaper."
"Pricing for me, it's not very interesting. I think it's priced at a normal level."
"The product is moderately priced."
"The price of the limited version is about 70,000 Pesos ($2,900 USD), and the professional version is about double at 140,000 Pesos ($5,800 USD)."
