"Our company is expanding to different countries, and business is growing. We feel that it is not good enough for the huge volume of the business. On-premises setup is not good enough for the overseas office. We have our onsite premises in Hong Kong, but we have a major sales office in the US. We are looking for a more efficient setup to fulfill our requirements and needs. It can have portals for vendors, suppliers, and customers. I know that they have this feature in version 10, but it still has space to improve."
"There are possibilities to extend its functionality. Things such as Quality Management System (QMS) and Payroll are currently not a part of the product. These things are needed."
"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."
"Our business has grown beyond the capabilities of Business One. We need a bigger ERP solution, and therefore we are moving away."

"The extension of dashboards into mobiles is something which SAP Business One has to improve on."
"The solution is expensive. That can be an issue for clients."

"Their revolving AI should should be better improved."
"There is room for improvement in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, particularly in enhancing the application's response time."
"SAP promotes the cloud, but customers are worried about the security of their data. SAP suggests they have SAP S4HANA with RISE, which is a private cloud environment, but it is difficult to sell many of the customers on the cloud concept because of the privacy issues."
"The solution could improve by adding a planning model, such as BPC. Additionally, if we need to make changes in the profit center it has to be done manually. It is not connected to the cost center."
"It's not easy to facilitate the solution between us and SAP, so we have had to leave those issues open."
"Analytics could be improved."
