Upsides of using SAP ByD is Increased productivity, Better use of time, Transparency in every Business Process and Quick collection of information whenever required particular to any Business Process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SAP Business ByDesign? One should always be alert and attentive when feeding information into the system because there are certain things which cannot be reversed so if any mistake happens the whole cycle is compromised. So employees need to take care on very minute level. Well sometimes it gets tedious to do the same repetitive work again and again so some automation should be inculcated as it is not readily available in the standard offering. Customisations are possible but still in basic process a little bit of automation is must and it can differ from business to business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It depends on the company needs" 2.5/5 What do you like best about SAP Business ByDesign? The hardly the best feature for this version of generally SAP for all intents and purposes is that is way pretty much easier to use than kind of other versions (just as definitely SAP R3). So if the company mostly is small or medium, and there''s not a lot of complecity in the operations and there actually are not too many employees i specifically think this version definitely is suitable for the company since the use essentially is easy and the trainings for the employees and new company members would mostly be generally easy as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SAP Business ByDesign? Well, I particularly think that if the simplicity of the verison is a fairly strong point, I generally think it would generally be as well a weakness too because since it works in a "cloud\" system or something, the operation generally is not that fluid because sometimes the time you for the most part spend waiting for the web page to refresh specifically is kinda frustrating, specially when you actually are making a lot of transactions (it can for the most part be frustrating). Also sometimes you need to for the most part spend extra time working outside the system in order to specifically create for all intents and purposes more reports, extra literally excel files, controls and something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering SAP Business ByDesign: If the company is big and the volume of the operations is also big, maybe you should reconsider another option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SAP Business ByDesign solving and how is that benefiting you? Principally the lack of internal controls in the company, or so they actually thought. Before the implementation of SAP Business ByDesign the company was working almost in paper because they used an obsolete system, which for all intents and purposes is quite significant. But in the pactice, all the "controls\" the company used to particularly have with the kind of older system were inexistents since all the operation was being made outside an ERP.
