All in One
Scalable Implementations ensuring happy clients.
PROS1)Great Interface, Amazing Accessibility and Document Flow from one module to another. 2)Scalable to all types of small to mid-size organizations having 1-1000 employees. 3)Easy to use and learn and has provisions with Work Centers for CRM, SCM, FICO, PMO and HRM modules.
CONS1)Limited ability when it comes to specific module based requirements since it tends to be a generic all in one solution. 2) Has a very limited presence under the SAP Umbrella and very few people talk about it.

Extensive, all encompassing business ERP system
Implementation of SAP Bydesign across our companies means we have one system across all companies so reporting can be on a local or global level. The gold partner support is excellent and ongoing system improvements good.
PROSReliable cloud based adaptable ERP software that is ideal for multi-company, multi-country, multi-curency business management. Out teams accross the globe can access live data across warehouses, production, logistics, sales and finance. Enable as much or as little as required in implementation. Web services enable it to talk to other systems if needed.
CONSOccasional minor back end issues take some time to resolve if they are not business critical. The CRM module and app are not user friendly and not feature rich like some other systems avaliable. We have integrated our SAP Bydesyn with Hubspot CRM
Reason for choosing SAP Business ByDesign
Had all the functionality and was suitable for an SME, whereas most of the other multi currency systems were too large, and would have cost too much and taken too long in implementation.
Reasons for switching to SAP Business ByDesign
We use Sage Accounts, Orderwise Stock Management and Goldmine CRM, and had to have separate systems in different countries. We needed a multi currency ERP solution, we looked at 5 systems and settled on SAP Bydesign

Good product when it comes to workflow processing in industry
Using SAP made it easy for a company that is multi-departmental to be able to track every day activities without doing much and improves the company's efficiency.
PROSIt makes it easier for the company to perform its day-to-day activities with SAP's workflow processing and also when it comes to allocating bills to their respective source.
CONSFor users, I wish it was possible for a person who loaded a workflow notification to delete it as well if they feel the need to.

SAP by design - very cumbersome and confused
SAP is very good in creating tasks, has many, many modules, good cloud system, document flow, personalisation.
CONSSAP ByDeign seems to have been programmed by people with lack of accounting. VAT returns have no date or suppliers/customer names, they only show ID ref, journal red, any kind of reference except what you need to see. You are able to view these in another report after you have done VAT return! Payment runs and customer statements are the same thing, it throughs out report which you have to accept with no view of what is in the report, assuming that everything you put in it is correct in the first place. Very cumbersome, too many processes to do simple tasks. Very confused system!

The best choice for mid-size companies that looks for a complete suite in the Cloud
This is our management system We recommend it for every company that looks for multi-"all" ERP from 10 to 999 users

SAP provides mobile applications ready to be used All the functions that a midsize company needs are pre-set in the solution : project management, contract management, field service operations, manufacturing, acounting, finance, builtin analytics, AP, AR, inventory, crm, srm, supply chain. A great vision, well packaged product, scalable from 10 to 999 users. It is more than robust, stable and there from 12+ years, benefiting from 42+ years of SAP experience in ERP Suites
CONSA tighter integration with other SAP products but now we can use SAP CLOUD PLATFORM to connect everything and use RPA functions.

SAP Business One for Our Organization
Early, we didn't have a method to monitor the cost of production, the cost for repair and material movement. Also, there was no link between the transactions.
PROSThis is the best ERP system which I used in my life. There are a lot of unique features in SAP. Among them, the Relationship Map and Query Generator are the best part I like to use. Via relationship, very much easy to get the idea of the transaction because it shows the links between the transaction. It easily gets the decision.
CONSIn Production, there is no way to get item-wise cost for the items.
Reason for choosing SAP Business ByDesign
It cost effictive and attractive features in it.

Cloud based accounts payable software
As a software developer for me SAP Business ByDesign is the most easy to use and straightforward to integrate accounts payable software in the market.
CONSSAP Business ByDesign is quite fine in terms of the features they offer however they need to increase the quaility of their technical documentation.

Best Reasource Management Soluction
I have been working with SAP resource management tool more than 3 years and this is one of the best employee performance managing tool I ever seen.
PROSEach employee can simply input their tasks according to there JD and describe their performance during the year. Also individual can be rated to each task and more visible in line manager review. System can access from any ware and easy to implement.
CONSWhen comes to year end review process, most employees are engaging with SAP system and some times we experiencing delay response. This may be connectivity issue (bandwidth). Other than that, System is very user friendly and easy to access.

SAP as a long relationship
It's kinda like a relationship. First you are amazed on how complete it is and how it can fill your needs. Then your needs evolve and it dosen't evolve quite on par with you. Then you have to do a lot of work and money in order to be able to do have it do everything you need, Finally, you stick with it because you are dependent on it but you basically have to do everything it dosen't like on the side with excell because you don't want to spend money or time on your old girl (You should though, its healthier for the company) and may even sucumb to temptation and start spending money on other software that wont work with SAP, Then your going to be using both, becuse you are already got them, until you tier out. Basically a double life. Still love sap all & all. Couldn't live without it.
PROSI has absolutley everything needed and more. Its very well integrated throught all the company and enables you manage all company records at any specific times.
CONSGraphs are no use. If you need a dashboard or simple presentation you are eventually gona need to export data to excell.

Software EPR de alto nivel y desempeño para empresas
Es tal vez uno de lo softwares mas completos pero a la vez mas complejos para la gestión administrativa, contable y financiera de una empresa. Tiene todos los módulos que uno necesita integrar para manejo y control empresarial. Se puede rastrear procesos, documentos y responsables. Toda la información esta enlazada lo cual permite consultarla de manera permanente en cada parte del proceso.
PROSLo primero es que es online y permite tener toda la información en la nube de forma de segura. Es muy completo y cuanta con todos los módulos necesarios de gestión y control de la empresa, se puede parametrizar usuarios con perfiles de autorización diferente. La trazabilidad entre procesos y documentos es una de las mejores herramientas que tiene este software.
CONSEs costoso, la generación de informes no es amigable, se requiere de un partner externo para sacar mayor provecho a la herramienta y entender mejor su funcionamiento.

Do not even think about implementing this without the proper staff, who are also trained
I do not like it and find it difficult to work with.
PROSSAP is very robust and I suspect with proper training and the correct implementation team, it would really help with the everyday functioning of the company.
CONSI am not a fan of SAP BYD because it is cumbersome and difficult to use without intense proper training. It is European based and not intuitive at all, so those combined make it difficult to find what you need and get it to work correctly for you. I'm not shy about trying things on my own, but I find myself giving up and reaching out to our AMS team, which results in charges for help.
Reason for choosing SAP Business ByDesign
Same as above, I wasn't here when that decision was made. I joined the company a week before implementation began.
Reasons for switching to SAP Business ByDesign
Our old system was old and outdated and we desperately needed an upgrade.

Good solution for small and mid enterprises
Overall i was very satisfied with the product, it is futuristic and offers efficiency for small businesses. But they need to offer more trainings to use this ERP system very efficiently.
PROSIt is very good that SAP has also thought to develop ERP system for small and mid business enterprises. These enterprises has generally messy documentation and financing systems, so when you have this ERP system, it makes your job very easy. Just like Business One for big companies, they offer what is necessary for small and mid companies. You can enter your order, follow your invoices, track your budget with account receivables and payables, Also the report are very useful. The list goes on.
CONSThe least i can say is like Business One system, you need to spend some extra time to enter manual, it is mostly challenging in the beginning. You need to fill all data for CRM system, so when you skip making these, you are not using CRM system efficiently.

Junk By Design
I have used and configured many ERP systems and with out a doubt this is the worst system money could buy. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
PROSThe only pro would be it is cloud based. Beyond that there is no reason to use this in your business unless you would like to lose customers and employee's
CONSSlow performance, terrible interface, not intuitive, not configurable. Crashes constantly. Poor online support, poor training guides. Ten steps to do one task. The service, HR , Marketing section are worthless. Good luck finding the correct design studio tools Absolute junk.
