Pros

Invoicing is a strength. The invoices produced are clear, correct and legible.
We have found some decent time-saving solutions within its project management suite, including an excellent task organizer.
Installation of the software is a snap due to the cloud solution.

Cons

Unfortunately, usability is a major issue at times. I hear complaints about dropped network traffic, and it's not our infrastructure.
The interface is confusing. We have to train new employees with a lot of detailed instructions which shouldn't be necessary.
We have had to pay for any support on the above issues.

At times the system can be a bit tedious, what I mean by that is multiple clicks to complete a simple task.
Complexity can be an issue, but the system does allow for configuration to match complexity with user role
Internet Access- Cloud only system if our local internet is out, access can be challenging. We used mobile hotspots when needed and this worked fine.

Alternatives Considered

We selected 24SevenOffice because the vendor made a lot of promises and demos related to network uptime and features. None of this ended up being exactly correct in real life. I have never used any other PM software so I can't really speak to how it compares in a lot of those ways.

ByDesign stacks up well against the competition. Companies that do multiple things are usually the best fit (manufacturing, distribution, and service). The more 'modules' used, the fewer competitors will be able to meet the company's needs. It is not inexpensive, but if the needs of the company have the complexity from either a global perspective and need localizations and foreign currency, or a volume perspective and need resources greater than what can be easily housed on-premise, ByDesign should be a top consideration.

Return on Investment

We were using a fairly similar program from an ROI perspective previously so I can't say it's had a big effect.
That said the network issues represent lost hours/money.
The added training is also expensive.

Great tool for me as a salesman, visibility into all my accounts and contacts. Great ROI for me personally as it helps me track my business prospects.
Easy access via the cloud for home, office, or on the go. Has mobile apps that are effective for simple tasks and reminders.
Great community to be a part of, tons of online resources. Also, have the ability to connect with SAP directly and with partner network, there are many layers of support.
