Epicor iScala vs SAP Business One comparison

"The accounting, purchasing, and basic ERP functions work well. But they are a little bit older, but they work for us. The inventory management is good and necessary for any company that manages stock for production or services."

"One of the biggest advantages of SAP Business One, especially in the public cloud, is that many features are standardized, which reduces the need for customization."

"The most valuable feature of Business One depends on the industry. Generally speaking, Business One works best in automotive industry use cases."

"Business One's best feature is transport management and collections."

"Technical support is quite good. They are helpful and responsive. We are quite satisfied with their level of support."

"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is the dashboards."

"It's simple to use and very direct."

"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is all the functionality of the modules together. It is a full-featured solution."

"SAP Business One is very stable, and I would rate its performance as ten out of ten."

"We're facing challenges with iScala in the public sector, specifically healthcare. The system doesn't have sufficient support for the complexities of managing payments for doctors, nurses, and other healthcare staff."

"The solution could improve by having better integration with other systems and reporting."

"The installation process could be easier. They should have better tools to improve the effectiveness of the installation."

"I would love to have more reporting capabilities. It should have an embedded BI engine. Currently, I have to maintain an additional system for BI."

"The initial implementation is not straightforward. It took approximately three months to complete. The process could be easier."

"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."

"The solution's CRM module can be made better."

"Business One would be improved with a customization option."

"Our customers often request concurrent licensing, which is not available with SAP Business One. Adding this option would be beneficial."

"Compared to local ERP solutions, it's on the higher side."

"The price of SAP Business One is reasonable."

"In terms of price, it's fair, but the problem is with AMC."

"Its price is reasonable. People are able to spend that much."

"Its price is reasonable. We have about 200 licenses. We have to pay every year for the license."

"Its licensing model is good. There is a one-off payment for the software license, and after that, you only need to pay the annual maintenance fee. Compared to other cloud-based systems, this cost model is quite reasonable for SMEs."

"We feel that the licensing fees are a bit on the higher side."

"I rate the price of SAP Business One a seven out of ten."

"It's not cheap but offers good value, particularly for medium-sized enterprises."
