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

"Certinia ERP is user-friendly and provides comprehensive support for accounting-related tasks."
"It has features like bank reconciliation and the financial report builder which enhance operational efficiency."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is its reporting capability."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"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."
"SAP Business One on AWS has good documentation and has many services in the cloud."
"The initial setup is manageable."
"Technical support from SAP is great."
"It is very flexible...It is a stable solution."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

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."
"The tool's cost is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There is room for improvement in the manufacturing and logistics areas of SAP Business One on AWS."
"There is a need to make multiple changes in the code to make a few changes in any module of the product."
"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 solution has a feature that shows you the purchase order that you put on a project and requires you to approve it to be applied to the project, but it doesn't let you move the purchase order to another project. That would be a great feature to have, because if you don't approve it, you have to delete everything and make it again."
"The interface needs to be improved. It needs to be more user-friendly."
"It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines."
"Not a ten because it's not software for a structured company or something very big. That is my impression."
