Pros

Generic Inquiries are a very easy way to create custom reports.
The automation schedules are useful, we use these for confirming of shipments, creating invoices and emailing them. Reduces workload.
Open for integration with other software. We find the ease of connection to MS PowerBI very useful.

Cost Effective: even with add-ons from a third party, SAP Business One still wins in terms of cost compared to larger ERP providers such SAP All in One.
Stable Accounting module. Financial accounting is no stranger to users who use any other ERP systems, it provides standard reports and operations. The core financial accounting function is stable and accurate.
Flexibility to Customize. Users can customize by creating user defined fields, alerts, approvals to define thier own workflow. The UI form can be edited by hiding or moving field. The Query Generator is easy to use, even by a user who is not familiar with SQL. Users can create a customized report.
Strong Support. Strong SAP support, a wealth of training materials that are easy to obtain. SAP continuously improves on new functionality. Recently SAP added new functionality such as allowing users to define the bin location for inventory items, define dimensions in cost accounting, add resources in production module etc.
Availability of in depth solution via Integration with third party add-on. Add-ons are available in various areas including WMS, project management, POS, and web portals.

Cons

The CRM module is very basic.
There is no supplier remittance function.
The API is basic, our ecommerce integration has had to be built nearly from scratch.

It is a very complete software, SAP is always releasing new versions to make it more efficient and to provide help on found issues/glitches. If used the right way it can be a very powerful tool on all aspects of the company and can help standardize business processes to make them more efficient and save costs in different areas.

Being a high profile tool, a user level with specific experience and skills is required to use the program. Which deserves special attention in the junior staff, requires a good management of the administrative part to develop all the benefits of the program. For young and inexperienced people the interface is not flashy. Although it is a very complete program.

Over the past two years SAP has added a great deal of new SAP Business One on-line training for version 9.0 and 9.1. Most of the training is very strong, but some is difficult to understand and follow. Additionally, SAP still has a few holes in their on-line training around Production, Bill-of-Materials, MRP and Service.

Alternatives Considered

NetSuite is much more expensive and is difficult to customise or integrate.
SAP is a more complex and powerful system, but several times more expensive to implement and run.

SAP Business One9.1

Based on 1 answer

For most small businesses, the only way you outgrow SAP Business One is if the nature of your business changes radically. Going from 1 to 50 users is quite easy with SAP B1. Going beyond 50 may require moving to the Hana SAP B1 platform to maintain or improve performance, but the path is there.
Add-ons to SAP B1 can also be added as specific needs are encountered that are not closely met by the standard product. These may be required early in the product life because of the nature of your business, or as you expand the use of SAP B1.

SAP Business One provides all accounting and tax data accurately, records sales and purchases, and quickly allows for inventory analysis. The ROI on these modules is positive.
While Add-on integration causes problems, and involves support from internal staff as well as external consultants constantly, overall it speeds up processing of orders, and improves inventory management.
