Storeman / software developer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 8/13/2020 Business partner of the seller or seller's competitor, not included in G2 scores. "Organised but too all over the place." 1.5/5 What do you like best about SAP Business ByDesign? It's flexible, it fits a lot of businesses. It's cloud based so no downloads. Once you know it it can create complicated databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SAP Business ByDesign? Once there is no Internet, your stuck and no work can be done. Quite bugy, canceling documents at certain stages is a nightmare. There are sometimes 3 ways of canceling documents. Vague indications why you can't do certain actions. Using it is not intiuative, unless someone shows you what to do you wownt know how to use it. Every step of a transaction you have to know which tab and sub tab to open. Once you make an order in the system it wownt show you a button to print a pick list. Once you confirm a pick list theres no button on that page to get you an invoice. You have to find an invoice tab print it from there. If your one person tasked with putting an order in, picking it, confirming and then invoicing its a lot of screens to g through. There's a lot to dislike, but this solution is popular because it can work with a lot of businesses and employers don't think about the people that work with this software on daily bases. Software covers accounting, purchases, sales and warehousing + more but I wouldn't call it user friendly in any of its fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
