The solution is useful for application development, but the user interface and user experience must be improved

The product must be made easier to use. The design is a bit tricky. When we log in to the Alibaba Cloud Marketplace and browse products, they look very small. The user experience must be improved. Alibaba Cloud must increase its partner network and brand awareness in our country. It will give our customers more opportunities to scale and save in the long run.

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.

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

More Alibaba Cloud pros

Cons

"Regarding security issues, Alibaba Cloud is more complex and better suited for developers and R&D teams. On the other hand, Google Cloud is more convenient for new users."

"The flexibility of the solution could be improved."

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."

"The solution needs to improve its graphical user interface."

"Users use websites as a tutorial. However, the Alibaba Cloud website has the content, and the scripts are copied from Amazon Web Services. We had received customer feedback where the customer asked us to get formulate original content instead of copying from Amazon Web Services. It’s very odd and awkward."

"The solution should have more integration."

"Alibaba Cloud has some problems related to latency and connection issues. If you go for a cloud solution provider, you will need to access the Internet, which may result in latency and bandwidth issues, leading to slowness in operations."

"Alibaba Cloud's initial setup is somewhat complex."

More Alibaba Cloud cons

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

"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 room for improvement in the manufacturing and logistics areas of SAP Business One on AWS."

"The browser access needs to improve, as everybody in the industry knows how limited it is."

"The interface needs to be improved. It needs to be more user-friendly."

"It is hard for the customers to get the product from the market. Improvement-wise, it can shorten its time to reach the markets."

"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 AI tools, programming languages, and dashboard customization should be easier."

"Alibaba Cloud is cheaper."

"The product is not that expensive."

More Alibaba Cloud pricing and cost advice
