SAP Business One on AWS Reviews

The most valuable features of SAP Business One on AWS are the CRM and the sales module.

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

I have been using SAP Business One on AWS for approximately 10 years.

We have approximately 30 users using SAP Business One on AWS in our organization.

The technical support from SAP Business One on AWS is great.

The initial setup of SAP Business One on AWS is relatively easy. The full implementation took us approximately six months.

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

I rate SAP Business One on AWS a nine out of ten.

During the current times, amid the pandemic, having this solution allows us to much more ably work at home. You don't need to go to the office to access your ERP. 

The most valuable feature is the ability to access it from anywhere. We can collaborate as a team from all different locations.

Putting it on the cloud gives you cost-effectiveness and the power to easily scale up, either horizontally or vertically.

The browser access needs to improve, as everybody in the industry knows how limited it is. Everybody is excited for the next version to come out with the web-based client.

I would like to see a full Linux version available in the future.

I have been working with SAP Business One on AWS since 2015. We have been using the main product, Business One, since 2006.

This product is very stable.

If you need additional resources then all you have to do is adjust it, unlike an on-premises solution where you have to replace hardware and experience downtime. Having it on the cloud essentially gives you the power to scale it up, any time you want it.

We have about 60 users in our company and we are managing about 100 clients. SAP supports organizations of all sizes but it mainly targets medium-sized and enterprise-level companies.

Everybody in the SAP team, including the partners, are very knowledgable about the product at both the technical and the functional level.

The initial setup is very easy. If you are very familiar with the product then it will take you less than an hour to deploy. Integrating it is also easy to do. The majority of time for deployment would be with the installation itself, as opposed to the configuration because it is very straightforward.

In total, it will take less than a day to fully deploy on the cloud.

We have an in-house team to handle the integration of this product into different solutions. We have industry-specific implementation services for retail, manufacturing, real estate, and others.

Including the administrator, project manager, and consultants, you normally need less than five people to deploy. We have five people in our application support team that can take care of maintenance.

When it comes to ROI, our clients who concern themselves with it are comparing cloud-based deployments to on-premises deployments. The companies that are investing a lot of money in their on-premises server don't mind investing more if it means transitioning them to the cloud. The security is better and accessibility improved, which is worth the investment.

SAP is a fair price and you get what you pay for. There are two versions, being a limited and a professional one. In some companies, they call the professional one the "Super User".

The price of the limited version is about 70,000 Pesos ($2,900 USD), and the professional version is about double at 140,000 Pesos ($5,800 USD).

If you need to integrate with other third-party software then you need to purchase Indirect Licenses, which are in addition to the standard fees. There would also be an implementation cost in this case.

When this solution is installed, there are three servers. One is Active Directory, the second is the remote desktop, and the third is the SAP Database Server. In version 9.3, it is not purely cloud-based, which is why you need the remote desktop. In the upcoming version, 10.0, there will be a web-based client, which means that the entire solution will be purely cloud-based. This will result in better client experience.

My advice for anybody who is implementing SAP Business One on AWS is to be prepared. You have to understand the product really well before beginning the implementation. There are several certifications and accreditations available from SAP that are available in the training, which is a good place to start.

I also suggest getting the best consultants and technical team to assist with implementation.

The biggest lesson that I have learned from working with this solution is that you cannot learn enough by just reading about it. You need to have real-life, hands-on experience with implementing it and using it. There are a lot of things to learn and the biggest benefits come from experiencing it yourself. The documentation is okay but it is not a substitute for experience.

Overall, this is a really good product and I would rate it a ten out of ten.

I use SAP Business One on AWS for simple interactive services in many facilities.

SAP Business One on AWS has good documentation and has many services in the cloud.

SAP Business One on AWS could improve by having more customization and more user-friendly automation.

I have been using SAP Business One on AWS for approximately three years.

SAP Business One on AWS is a highly stable solution.

The scalability of SAP Business One on AWS is good.

The technical support from SAP Business One on AWS is very good. The agents are friendly and responsive.

SAP Business One on AWS's initial setup is simple.

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

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate SAP Business One on AWS a ten out of ten.

We are a solution provider and SAP Business One on AWS is one of the products that we offer to our clients. Our customers are typically in the manufacturing or wholesale distribution industries. They are predominately looking at refreshing their management solution and are looking for a better-integrated system, more from the finance, stock management point of view.

Some of our clients have products that are going out of life and they want to get to the next stage, which is where I think SAP comes in.

The look-and-feel of the system is quite outdated as compared to a lot of other products out there. They are more user-friendly, I would say. As someone who has not used accounting products before, they might find it quite overwhelming.

It should be more user-friendly.

I have been working with SAP Business One on AWS for a few years.

This product is very much stable.

This is a scalable solution. I have different clients of various sizes who are using it.

Technical support from SAP is great. If you're not able to do it as a partner, you always have SAP's help.

This solution has its own complexities because it is an ERP system, but the current version is pretty straightforward. That said, you will still need external help, as you probably couldn't do with internal IT teams.

The length of time to deploy can take anywhere from 15 or 20 days and above.

The number of staff needed for deployment and maintenance depends on the size of the project. They are all user-dependent. Also, it depends on the complexity of deployment in terms of what kind of environment it is.

Licenses are available on a monthly or yearly basis, and it costs about $1,200 per license, per user. Given what you're getting from the system, I think it's worth it.

This is a great product on its own, and the technicalities of it have improved as compared to the older version. I absolutely recommend it and we plan to continue selling it.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Our primary use case is for finance, invoicing and accounting.

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

I have been using SAP Business One on AWS for four years. 

There are limits to the analytical dimensions for the accounting. There are only three analytical dimensions. You can choose a maximum of three analytical dimensions. If you want to use a more, you can. You have to upgrade the software with a version like HANA.

We are satisfied with the price. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

Not a ten because it's not software for a structured company or something very big. That is my impression.

Our primary use case of this solution will be sale purchasing and financing.

Presently the vendor that is deploying it has lots of challenges. They are implementing it now, but we've not really signed it up. The challenge we are currently facing is that we are trying to integrate it with an SSL, or adding the SSL certificate. That is proving to be quite a challenge. That's mapping the private IP address with the public IP address.

I feel that these vendors must be well trained so that they can deploy this solution. The challenge is that they know the internal configuration, but they don't know how to configure it on a server. I don't think they have good knowledge of server security. 

What we are basically using it for, is as an accounting package. So the vendors need to have a very good understanding of accounting and balancing accounts. They are not well-grounded.

I believe the solution is very stable.

We currently have eight users and the only challenge I currently see is the performance. We only have a license for eight users, but we plan on increasing our usage if we are satisfied with it and if it meets our needs. So I believe the solution is scalable. 

The vendor wasn't competent enough to deploy the SAP solution so I had to go online to help them resolve their issue. And I am a customer.

The initial setup is rather straightforward even though we have been struggling with a few issues. 

On a scale from one to ten, I rate this solution a seven. Additional features I would like to see in the next version is an ERP. This is an SAP Business One solution, but the HR part of SAP Business One is very limited. If they can add more features to the HR module inside the SAP Business One, it would be great. 

We are a factory for reducing power meters, so we use the solution for all modes of production, finance, etc.

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

The interface needs to be improved. It needs to be more user-friendly.

In future releases, the solution should offer more flexible UI and more analytics.

The solution's stability is around 90%.

The scalability of the solution is around 90%. We have about 15 users. We may scale in the future, but we haven't made plans to do so.

We contact technical support one to two times a month. They're good.

We did not previously use a different solution.

The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment took around three months.

We are using the private cloud deployment model.

I would recommend the solution.

I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

Business One is an ERP system that covers accounting, supply chain, production, etc. 

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. 

I've been using Business One for two years.

Business One is stable.

Business One is scalable. About 25 people in the company are currently using it. 

I'm very satisfied with SAP's technical support. They took action on our issue quickly. 

I previously used SAGE and a couple of other solutions, but Business One is the best.

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

We pay for a yearly license.

I rate Business One eight out of 10.
