Nicola Degliesposti - PeerSpot reviewer
The product lacks a lot of features and technology, though it is the most stable solution in the market
The product lacks a lot of features and technology. It is really limited. The tool must improve in almost all areas. There are a lot of things that should be improved in the manufacturing and shop floor, logistics and warehousing, and master data both from a functionality and technology standpoint. The solution must have a better WMS to improve the logistics and workflow and handle the processes within the system. The collaboration must be improved. The product must be more flexible and allow customization. It must allow the users to personalize the application in a better way. The tool lacks a lot in the purchasing area. The documents and process of purchasing are limited and simple. In the sales domain, there are no enhancements to calculate forecast and shipment programs. We cannot optimize transportation.

Fully integrated modules enhance seamless data interaction and real-time decision-making
SAP Business One is easy to use and fully integrated from top to bottom, from vertical to horizontal. Any transaction we are doing in any module is directly integrated with finance. Each and every transaction and report is updated at the same time. This is one of the main benefits of SAP Business One. During a transaction in the sales module, it doesn't have to wait for finance to do posting before it gets updated. Financial transactions are posted at the same time. The general ledger, balance sheet, trial balance, cash flow statement, and all other reports are updated simultaneously. There is no need to wait for any posting or report preparations. Each transaction impacts every report and relevant module at the same time. SAP Business One is one of the best solutions for real-time access to all data. Whenever any transaction is posted, it's immediately available in other modules and relevant reports. This provides real-time access in any module and any report.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution serves its purpose and does what we need it to do."
"It is the most stable solution that I've ever worked with."
"The graphical view of connections between different transactions is a valuable feature of the solution."
"The document search feature is very good."
"We are using it for accounts and finance and also for maintaining third-party transactions and non-CRM transactions."
"The solution is scalable."
"Business One's best feature is transport management and collections."
"SAP Business One is very stable, and I would rate its performance as ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is the ability to manage your entire business with one software package."
"Business One's best feature is that all the modules are integrated."
 

Cons

"Just implementing an ERP system takes a lot of time."
"The product lacks a lot of features and technology."
"The solution could improve by adding HR and payroll, and consolidation should be included by default."
"SAP Business One lacks solutions for some specific use cases, particularly in HR functions and production planning, which require a lot of customization."
"Business One's production module has room for improvement."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with other systems and reporting."
"Business One doesn't have a proper master data management function."
"While SAP has been a leader in the enterprise and SME segments, many competitors have emerged with new features, especially in analytic modules like Salesforce and Oracle. The rise of cloud tools from providers like Amazon, Google, and Azure, offering analytics and visual analytical tools, has contributed to this shift.It seems SAP Business One may not have focused as much on this aspect, prioritizing the basic functioning of the enterprise. As a result, the latest user experience, particularly in digital aspects of data consumption, may not be on par with what's available in the market."
"The installation process could be easier. They should have better tools to improve the effectiveness of the installation."
"There are only a few standard reports available and if you want more then they either have to be downloaded or built."
