Comparison Buyer's Guide

Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
5.4
Migrating to Google Cloud boosted ROI with reduced production times and costs, though not all benefits are fully measured.
Sentiment score
2.0
SAP Business One improves efficiency and savings with rapid ROI, enhancing decision-making, inventory management, and resource utilization.
There are instances of significant cost saving by improving processes and obtaining necessary data for better analysis.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.3
Google Cloud support experiences vary, with some praising responsiveness while others seek third-party help; separate purchases required.
Sentiment score
5.9
SAP Business One support is satisfactory but varies with partner competence, leading to mixed user experiences with responsiveness and effectiveness.
I consider them good partners when it comes to support.
We have consulted Google support several times, and we received a quick response.
Google's technical support is highly expert and proficient.
The previous user left the company without sharing their password, so at that time I need to log those particular issues or reset the password; the facility is not available in the current system, and I have to raise tickets, waiting for updated passwords, which is very critical.
When the system or solution has a failure unrelated to the database, they become lost.
Through the SAP portal, we can access direct support, which includes notes and a massive community for resources.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
Google Cloud is praised for scalability, advanced features, and efficient resource management, despite potential scaling costs.
Sentiment score
7.7
SAP Business One is adaptable for medium-sized enterprises, offering cloud deployment and integration benefits, but faces flexibility limitations.
If I had to rate scalability from one to ten, I would rate it a nine as we have never faced any issues with scalability.
Google Cloud is highly scalable, and we have not faced any issues with its scalability.
This solution is suitable for enterprise-level organizations, particularly in finance and healthcare domains where there is substantial data volume.
SAP Business One is not very scalable, as it is aimed at medium to small-scale industries.
If your company is looking for an ERP to run end-to-end business, this is the solution.
The scalability of SAP Business One is very high.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.2
Google Cloud is highly regarded for its stability and reliability, with most users experiencing minimal downtime or issues.
Sentiment score
7.7
SAP Business One is highly stable and reliable, excelling in accurate financial reporting and integration across branches.
We can maintain our clients with the latest delivery version stable; it is a stronger product and ERP that improves with each version.
SAP Business One is a very stable solution, and I rate its stability as ten out of ten.
I rate the stability of SAP Business One an eight out of ten.
 

Room For Improvement

Google Cloud requires improvements in pricing, integration, security, analytics, database management, language support, storage, support, and documentation.
SAP Business One needs user interface, integration, analytics improvements, and better scalability, customization, deployment, and cloud functionality.
If the hierarchy or similarities were the same, that would help developers more conveniently migrate from a traditional SQL server to BigQuery.
Providing more hypervisors would be beneficial.
The logging could be improved; there's currently no intuitive way to filter logs on the Google console, especially for individuals who are not familiar with query languages.
The solution lacks scalability as it targets medium to small-scale industries.
They also need to plan for integrating a small HR or payroll module.
Costing audits are required, but this is not available in SAP Business One.
 

Setup Cost

Google Cloud offers competitive pricing with flexible plans, but users seek greater transparency and more modular options for efficiency.
SAP Business One offers fair pricing with variable costs based on licenses, users, region, plus additional service fees.
As far as I know, it is a little more expensive compared to other cloud options.
Compared to buying new hardware, Google Cloud offers flexible options for scaling up or down, making it more convenient.
It is expensive compared to other modules or ERPs.
The pricing of SAP Business One is fair.
 

Valuable Features

Google Cloud is praised for its affordability, user-friendliness, scalability, and strong integration, often preferred over competitors like AWS.
SAP Business One offers comprehensive, user-friendly, and scalable solutions for financial management and diverse business needs across industries.
The most valuable features of Google Cloud for us are the integration with Kubernetes, IAM, Istio integration, and Terraform capabilities.
If customers use different technologies within their environment, GCP cannot offer a full performance analysis covering all the disclosures.
I find Google Cloud to be more manageable and cost-effective compared to other solutions.
This feature allows me to get all the necessary data required to best analyze the business and improve processes.
The general ledger, balance sheet, trial balance, cash flow statement, and all other reports are updated simultaneously.
Regarding reporting capabilities, SAP Business One provides in-built reports and allows us to use crystal reports, which we can customize and develop our own reports alongside running SQL queries with the query generator to create SQL reports.

Integration with Kubernetes and flexibility improve our application deployment process
The logging could be improved; there's currently no intuitive way to filter logs on the Google console, especially for individuals who are not familiar with query languages. Our non-technical users find it difficult to access logs. Additionally, the user interface could be more user-friendly and intuitive compared to our previous experience with AWS.
Hatem Mohamed Nageeb Salama - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
