Valuable features enhance sales and service capabilities while performance improvements are needed

We received a few complaints about the slowness in SAP Business ByDesign last year, so I think SAP can focus on improving performance, particularly when it becomes slow during data saving and handling. My feedback about the modular architecture and customized features of SAP Business ByDesign is that it is only good, but we have not explored much on this one. The initial setup for SAP Business ByDesign was complex. One disadvantage was that we had the legacy system, SAP Business One, and we could not migrate our data to SAP Business ByDesign. They should have provided a migration path.

Outages can be managed and performed in a shorter period of time. It is compliant with best practice guidelines.

An improvement for this product would be to have more pre-defined key performance indicators for the plant managers. The product provides several baseline reports, dashboards and KPIs that provide insight into specific business operations, displayed in graphical terms or as detailed reports. The presented information can be used to influence business decisions by presenting a clear picture of the selected indicators that show how a business functions. If the product has from the beginning more pre-defined indicators, the plant managers can benefit more from the beginning from the product implementation. Of course any time a new indicator can be developed according to the specific requests, but this will take time.

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

Pros

"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."

"It has a quick implementation and onboarding of users. It is flexible with reports and powerful."

"I have found the consolidation of the business and group reports very useful, there are plenty of features, and the manufacturing and finance aspect of the solution are strong."

"The most valuable features of Business ByDesign are the integration of its modules, analytics, and dashboards."

More SAP Business ByDesign pros

"The outages can be easily managed and performed in a shorter period of time, and the preventive and corrective maintenance activities can be easily planned and managed."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"Scalability is difficult."

"The solution does not support customization for forms and reports. It's not flexible in case you need some enhancements in business processes."

"I would say budget controlling needs improvement. I mention this because it does not have all the functionalities that we need in terms of managing the budget."

"The solution could improve the stability. It is approximately 60% stable."

"The Arabic localization is neglected. It should have an Arabic interface. It lacks Arabic translation or support from right to left."

More SAP Business ByDesign cons

"An improvement for this product would be to have more pre-defined key performance indicators for the plant managers."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have to pay yearly."

"The cost starts anywhere between fifty thousand dollars and up depending on the number of licenses."

"I rate the price of SAP Business ByDesign a seven out of ten."

"The tool’s pricing is expensive."

"The price of the solution could be better. They have to come up with a new strategy."

"The price of SAP Business ByDesign is less expensive than SAP S/4HANA. However, the price is on par with other similar competitors, such as Microsoft."

"Everything is included in the licensing cost of the solution. However, they use a per-user model for additional charges."

"The pricing depends on company size. It's cheaper for small companies and more expensive for large ones."
