Provides easy navigation to individual transaction levels and good stability

The warehouse management system requires further improvement. Right now, there is no built-in application for using barcodes or QR codes by the warehouse or operational teams. Customers often rely on third-party add-ons for such features. There should be a mobile-based handheld application, especially for the warehouse team or the operational team, to use barcode-based or QR-based scanning. In additional features, it would be great if the mobile application supported barcode and QR code usage. If this feature is available, it would be very useful.

High stability, reasonably priced, and important for digital transformations

Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation. SAP as a legacy system is missing that flavor. The solution is not a traditional ERP software so should be used as a digital transformation tool. That is the story to project to customers, partners, and sales teams. This will help the solution grow faster than GCP, AWS, or Azure. In fact, Google Cloud Platform is now collaborating with SAP for digital transformation. The solution should offer affordable modules that are customized to startups with 50 to 500 employees. Most people think of SAP as being only for big enterprises but it could be very useful for smaller companies. There are 40,000 to 50,000 startups in APAC each year and that is a large volume. Many of the solution's modules could be used by those startups. Google is targeting this market with chat boards and automation tools at a reasonable price or with six months of free usage. SAP should come up with this kind of module and include sandbox so providers can play with a few of the POCs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As a business technology platform, it is a flexible platform. It enables the customer to do faster integrations, and the solution's functioning requires low cost."

"The initial setup is manageable."

"The production and planning processes of the solution are very good."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The most valuable aspect is that it is easy to use the software."

"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is its reporting capability."

"Setting up Business One is straightforward. It took us about three months to deploy Business One on AWS."

"The maintenance is a significant advantage as it is supported by the international community rather than the local community."

More SAP Business One on AWS pros

"This solution is as good as any other S/4HANA SAP solution. The continuous support we get is very valuable."

"The solution's initial setup process is straightforward."

"The solution is stable and we have never had a problem. We started with one terabyte of data when the solution was first implemented and today we have around almost 600 gigabytes of data, which means means the compression works properly. Before migrating from ECC, we had nine terabytes of data."

"Traditionally, SAP worked with Oracle databases, but SAP is getting rid of the other databases and promoting its own. SAP will stop support for other databases around 2026, so everyone is moving to SAP S/4HANA for the performance and because it's the preferred database for SAP. S/4HANA has new features from the front-end or application feature perspective. The idea is to move toward future-ready technology."

"My company has not had any problems with the product's initial setup phase."

"The interface is easy to manage."

"One of the features that I've found most useful is that It's very simple. They take care of the technical aspects of the data, installations, patches."

"There's a minimum amount of downtime when using the solution. This platform is very effective."

Cons

"I would like SAP to replace Business One's fixed Web client with a native Web solution. Right now, their remote access is based on RVP. We have to access the solution through a Windows-based client. It's not a native Web interface."

"The tool's cost is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"It is hard for the customers to get the product from the market. Improvement-wise, it can shorten its time to reach the markets."

"The reporting can be improved. Also, it is an expensive solution, and you need consultants for new interfaces as it's very rigid otherwise."

"It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines."

"I feel that these vendors must be well trained so that they can deploy this solution."

"SAP Business One on AWS could improve by adding more functionality to the web client."

"The warehouse management system requires further improvement."

More SAP Business One on AWS cons

"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."

"Enterprise Cloud's reporting could be more automated to improve content accountability, especially regarding BI reports."

"This product is not mature enough at this point in time."

"The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data."

"The only thing that could be improved is the cost."

"Customization is an area of concern in SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, where improvements are required."

"The product must provide more details of the errors."

"Our data centers are in Europe and come under GDPR regulations, and this doesn't apply to the Middle East yet. It causes a lot of confusion."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have an annual cost for licensing and storage in AWS."

"On average, the licensing costs can be around 50,000 USD. Pricing of the product has certain variables, including the number of licenses and the implementation costs."

"Pricing for me, it's not very interesting. I think it's priced at a normal level."

"Though I cannot specifically state whether SAP Business One on AWS is a cheap or expensive product, I can surely say that it is a manageable tool from a cost perspective."

"The price of SAP Business One on AWS could be lower, it is expensive."

"Licenses are available on a monthly or yearly basis, and it costs about $1,200 per license, per user."

"The price of SAP Business One on AWS is reasonable for what we use it for."

"The product's license is expensive. It could be cheaper."

More SAP Business One on AWS pricing and cost advice

"SAP may not be the most cost-effective option, but it does offer a comprehensive set of tools and features. When you have the right information, structure, and dashboard in place, it can provide excellent value. Additionally, competition with Oracle might be a factor to consider."

"The price is expensive compared to the competition."

"The solution's cost is reasonable."

"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."

"If you choose the minimum, it will probably cost around $1,000 USD per month if you take a contract for a year or two."

"It's very, very expensive."

"The price is high compared to other databases, which is why HANA is still not widely used. Some enterprises prefer Sybase, Oracle, or other traditional databases because HANA is a little pricey. Cost is one factor SAP needs to work on to make it more competitive with other databases. Otherwise, they'll never be able to develop a mass customer base."

"The solution could be less expensive."
