Limited customization and support for customization.

Best Product

What differentiates SAP Business One from other similar products?
You can track every history of an item/a purchase order/a transaction with SAP Business One. No one can make a mistake and delete it. There are tons of transactions to be discovered. Viewing a purchase order history is the best to understand. Checking the vendor line items give you a brief summary easily.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I did lots of resolution by the help of SAP Business One. Aging items, debit balances, GRIR reports and every kind of stuff that needs attention can be easily solved by SAP.
What do you dislike most about this product?
SAP Business One is hard to master, difficult to teach new people. Images you open use java and come very slow.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you have a big business with big accounting team, consider using SAP Business One. You will not regret it.
