Allows customization for production and has good sales, distribution, and quality management features
Previously, we were using a very small ERP called Visual Udyog. Visual Udyog is a very cheap solution. For a startup company, it's useful. It's not an elaborate ERP, but it gives at least 25% of what IQMS gives. It can give 25% or even close to 50% of what IQMS can give and at 10% of the cost. Initially, for the first five years of the company, where it has only one million turnover or two million turnover, it is enough. Once you want to scale up, you have to go to SAP or IQMS. I also worked with SAP. I would say that IQMS and SAP go hand-in-hand.

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

"This solution has all of the features you need: sales, distribution, supply chain. It has logistics and production management capabilities. It has so many modules, which were integrated using our expertise."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is its user-friendly and useful business module."
"Ease of access is a valuable feature."
"It's useful for users and it's simple to work with."
"It's fully integrated with great dashboard and interface."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Financial Management."
"I have been happy with the intern purchases, and finance, such as banking."
"So there are a lot of features included with the ERP system."
"The way we can make changes in new fields, or make new rules with our IT department, has been very useful."
 

Cons

"Setup is very complex."
"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."
"We would like a mobile version of this for sales exhibits, etc. We would also like more personalization features to personalize it for our organization."
"It is hard for the customers to get the product from the market. Improvement-wise, it can shorten its time to reach the markets."
"Our customers often request concurrent licensing, which is not available with SAP Business One. Adding this option would be beneficial."
"There should be a portal so that our providers can give us their invoices. This is something that it is missing currently. SAP provides such a portal with SAP ERP, but it is not available with SAP Business One."
"You get support through the vendor, not SAP directly. If your vendor is good, you get good support. If it is not a good vendor, the support is very bad."
"The analytics data capabilities could improve which will provide businesses with much more insight into how their companies are performing."
"SAP Business One on AWS could improve by having more customization and more user-friendly automation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid about 20% with the purchase order. Six months later, we paid another 20%, and then another 20% after another six months. We paid the remaining 40% after 18 months."
"The price of SAP Business One is reasonable."
"We are on a perpetual license for SAP Business One and the price it should be less expensive when comparing it to other solutions."
"It's not cheap but offers good value, particularly for medium-sized enterprises."
"The price of SAP Business One is expensive and there is only a standard license."
"We compared the Microsoft solution with Oracle NetSuite, as they have a price decrease. It is, however, not that much cheaper, and the price is comparable to SAP."
"I rate the solution's pricing a six or seven out of ten since it is expensive."
"SAP Business One is a cost-effective solution. The price is good and we pay for a subscription annually."
"The product is moderately priced."
