Find out what your peers are saying about NetSuite, Oracle, SAP and others in Cloud ERP."The standard system is stable."
"I like the tool’s customization."
"When we were using it, we did see an immediate benefit, especially in the inventory on consignment issue. We were a biotech pre-revenue company and most of our manufacturing was outsourced. So being able to track inventory within the system without creating a financial impact was very key for us."
"ByDesign's best features are its speed, real-time data, and reporting."
"I find the tool’s every feature valuable."
"The most valuable features of SAP Business ByDesign are customer invoicing and cost and revenue, from which I get the data for my project reports."
"I have found the consolidation of the business and group reports very useful. There is plenty of features and the manufacturing and finance aspect of the solution are strong."
"I like its modern approach. It is very modern and new technology."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is the ability to manage your entire business with one software package."
"The relationship map is very useful for us."
"So there are a lot of features included with the ERP system."
"I like that it's stable."
"This is the most efficient ERP that is in the market right now."
"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 graphical view of connections between different transactions is a valuable feature of the solution."
"The solution does not support customization for forms and reports. It's not flexible in case you need some enhancements in business processes."
"SAP Business ByDesign is a very vast product, but it has to be a bit more centralized. All the models need to be more centralized for a better experience."
"Scalability is difficult."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting capability. To use it properly, you need intensive IT support. You cannot write your own reports."
"ByDesign could be improved by making screen modifications easier."
"I would like the tool’s interface to be better. Currently, we use a client application to access the product. I want that to be replaced with a web version. I would like to improve the tool’s internet availability. I also want the product’s setup to be easier."
"With SAP S/4HANA, you can design your release strategy and modify it to include as many people as possible, which is missing in SAP Business ByDesign."
"The Purchase to Pay process could benefit from further sophistication and additional functionality. It would be helpful for the user community to receive clearer information about the future roadmap of the business. Unfortunately, there were some confusing articles in the German press towards the end of last year about the future of SAP Business ByDesign. Therefore, more clarity is needed in the support function to address this."
"The extension of dashboards into mobiles is something which SAP Business One has to improve on."
"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."
"Lacks an advanced HR model with payroll."
"It would be ideal if the reporting and dashboards were improved upon."
"SAP Business One could be improved if SAP creates one platform to integrate different solutions, particularly having a multi-company concept rather than having different databases. The solution could be similar to SAP S/4 Hana and the SAP Business ByDesign concept."
"The solution could improve by providing HR payroll, quality control, and maintenance. These are the missing features which we have to use add-ons solutions to provide the functionality."
"In the next release, I would like to see the inclusion of cloud features."
"Production area and Bill of Materials: effective date and Subcontracting process."
