"SAPB1 integration for SME's"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Saltbox?

The GUI is easy to use and provides a clear view of the data flows. The Saltbox engine has good flexibility when it comes to undertaking conditional data transformations within the connection. But the best feature is the out-of-the-box working integration to SAP B1 via the DI service layer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Saltbox?

Fixed recurring fees for each connection. Timely availability of resources - most projects take between 90 and 120 days to deliver, and small enhancements can be quicker once a connection is established. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Saltbox solving and how is that benefiting you?

Saltbox provides a solution that SAP refuses to acknowledge is required. SME's will nearly always be dependent upon 3rd parties to help them deliver an ecosystem of solutions that align with their business requirements. To utilise the DI service layer in SAP you need a comprehensive understanding of B1 and the underlying data structure. Saltbox and the team @ V33 have made the effort to establish this capability and make it easy to integrate B1 with 3rd party applications that do provide industry standard (published) integration options. As SAP does not do this for B1 it is very challenging to take any integration engine and connect it to SAP. Be wary of any IPaaS solution that states it can interagte to SAP - make sure you take references from real customers that are live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
