## Reviews

### "SAP is still the best Enterprise resource planning tool" — 5.0/5

> **SUCCESS** | *21 June 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: SAP is a financial tool that integrates all aspects of a business together, it is fantastic as it enables assigning of different access levels for users.
> 
> **Cons**: SAP modules are very expensive as the cost of a total data migration can cost millions of dollars.
> 
> SAP is great as it unifies a business process into one application. I will recommend it any day.

### "Very accurate software for accounts payable" — 5.0/5

> **Kelly** | *18 December 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The vendor, invoice and job distribution
> 
> **Cons**: I feel like the software could be a bit more user friendly.  I think that SAP has one of the best accounting programs on the market but it should be a little easier to use.
> 
> I like the way SAP works with all areas of business; everything interlinks and the reports are everything you need to get an accurate account of your financials.

-----

### "a bit outdated for modern working system" — 3.0/5

> **Terry** | *07 March 2025* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: takes much less computing resource to run
> 
> **Cons**: the user interface seems outdated, the theme is only compatible with windows XP, many functions are hard to navigate

-----

### "SAP Business One for Our Organization" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *09 July 2019* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This 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.
> 
> **Cons**: In Production, there is no way to get item-wise cost for the items.
> 
> 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.

-----

### "Best robust cloud ERP for medium size companies" — 4.0/5

> **Jérôme** | *05 February 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Best in class tool for ERP for small companies but with high quality of services
> 
> **Cons**: The maintenance is collapsing as the tool is not renewed so limited support and updates are to forecast
