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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has features like bank reconciliation and the financial report builder which enhance operational efficiency."
"Certinia ERP is user-friendly and provides comprehensive support for accounting-related tasks."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"This solution is stable; it's perfect; we have not had any issues."
"SAP Business One is one of the best solutions for real-time access to all data."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is its user-friendly and useful business module."
"Over the past ten years, we have found SAP Business One to be a very solid product."
"Accounting is a good feature, hence why we use SAP Business One."
"The product seems to be quite stable."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is its reporting capability."
 

Cons

"The customer support takes too long to respond, which could be improved by focusing on reducing the time for issue resolution."
"The bank statement feature takes a lot of time and can be improved to make reconciliation quicker."
"We have some problems around here, in Business One. It's hard to have separate models."
"Business One lacks built-in HR features."
"Analytics could be much better."
"Production area and Bill of Materials: effective date and Subcontracting process."
"It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines."
"SAP Business One consumes a lot of network resources and bandwidth, especially when accessing the web solution, B1 Web Access."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"The standard SAP Business One is sufficient for the Indian region. There is no need for further enhancement as custom solutions can be designed and developed to meet specific needs. For example, HR and payroll is not a standard feature of the solution, but they can be created as a separate custom solution. However, payroll is not a standard function due to the varying norms and regulations across India's 29 states and union territories. Therefore, a standard payroll solution cannot be provided by SAP to add utility and features. Adding it would lead to different versions of the solution and more complexity in managing them. However, it would be useful to have addons to cover the other states which have different regulations."
