SBO is disappointing

Hi all,
Are we the only company worldwide that is unhappy with SBO? R3 must be a great system, but SBO certainly isn't.
We started using SBO on Sept 2005, using version 2004. The app continuously crashed, on any computer, without any add-ons on it. We also had a very funny problem: SBO wasn't unable to know that Feb didn't have a 30th day, making it self give an error message because of its own mistake. It wasn't able either to calculate installments properly. The list was huge. It was a struggle to have SAP to admit the system was wrong, just to admit, because not too many actions have been taken to improve it.
We have just updated to version 2005+patch1 and our worse 3 problems have gone, but we have new problems that were not in 2004 and some of them are still there.
I used to beleive that SAP was a strong and reliable company but I'm not any longer. There's software that you can buy for $100 that doesn't have the silliest bugs SBO does. Is it so difficult for a company like SAP to get a team of 5 people and have them for a month working on the software.
Of course SBO has great tools, but they're hidden by all the stupid bugs it has. The strangest thing is that I found no one on the internet complaining about SBO.
I just hope to receive some feedback from real users and hopefully from SAP headquarters.

Hi,
Of course you are not the only one. Have a look here (Registration needed):

Sap Business One is good for selling (some good functionallity, well explained, while the CONS are not mentioned, and the customer supposes they are included), but not for finishing the installation.
This is, IMHO, becouse different sides:
- SAP is a BIG company, and as it is big, the error reporting process is slow, very slow. That´s why sometimes we even don´t report the bugs, becouse it is taking too much time from us, to explain the problem to many different people, and convincing them that it is a bug. And a lot of times they even don´t admit it is a bug. They call it functionallity.
- SBO is a worldwide software, with lots of localizations, and different functionallity plus the SDK support of this functionallity. So, fixing one simple bug could be related with so many aspects. And as it is a worldwide software, multiply the bug you found with the number of partners, and you will get lots of work hours.
- SAP is reinventing the wheel in some aspects of SBO. For example reports. First approach was document editing, which wasn´t a good designer and with a limited functionallity. Seccond one was ALD, which I personally didn´t like, and its discontinued nowadays. Then XL Reporter appear, which looks like a good tool, but not for every SBO user. Now looks like improving document editting is the future bet. We will se. We have developed a solution based on cristal reports  some time ago, as many other partners has. When so many partners are going this way, something is not going OK.
- The development process is not productive. Much time to get not so much functionality.
But not everything is bad. We started in 6.5 version, and SBO is improving. Improving in functionallity, improving SDK avaiability, and improving stability. There is still much work to do, but we are on the way. This product is a future bet. The question is, will you be there?

Ibai Peñ

  • One year on MacBook Pro (almost) - disappointed

    For Christmas last year, I was offered a 15 inch MacBook Pro. It was, by far, the best present I ever got.
    Up until then, I was schlepping around a Dell Latitude. I had had it for six years and that Dell was a reliable little machine, even though it did not have half the cachet of a shiny, aluminum-encased MacBook Pro.
    Since December of 2010, I have become an Apple user exclusively. I got an iPhone, and recently got an iPad.
    But to me, the most important device in my mini-collection is the MacBook Pro. It is my professional computer, the one I use to write and communicate with.
    Shortly after getting it as a present I purchased Office for Mac, the 2011 edition.
    Few days after receiving the MacBook Pro, I experienced strange graphics jamming when using Facebook; the screen literally turned into Poltergeist.
    I took it back to the Apple store in Tysons Corner, VA and got a new one. This was my first introduction to Apple Computers' great fallability. To discover such a fundamental flaw on a PC would be unheard of.
    The problem no longer exists, except for the occasional graphic hiccup (recently, when I would scroll down a web page, stripes of the image would remain frozen in place and get spread over the entire screen like jam as I tried to scroll up and down).
    My MacBook Pro often freezes. I see the beachball every other day.
    Today I was performing a paste in Word and the application crashed altogether.
    Safari has never worked. I start it up and the screen remains blank. I read somewhere in the forums that I can switch to a guest account and use it there. That does work, but to say that that is an impractical solution is an understatement (ie., user settings--passwords, cookies, bookmarks--aren't saved, so that's no good). Why can I not use Apple's Safari on an Apple computer is baffling to me and is very telling. It reveals something fundamentally flawed in the way Apple designs its products. Because if a flaw like this one can make it through their Quality Assurance workflow, guess what? That's an issue.
    Another problem is that Mozila used to crash regularly until I turned off some of the browser's features. Now Mozila crashes only every once in a while.
    After a year of using Mac, I do not feel secure about this product or this company. I feel like I have a device which is imperfect, a laptop that's fallible, that was assembled carelessly. I feel like the company that is behind the product is full of holes and lack maturity in the way they produce the devices which has made them so famous.
    Although I would not go back to PC machines, I am greatly disappointed in Apple's MacBook Pro.
    My Dell Latitude never gave me any problems whatsoever. That machine was rock-solid and chugged along, with loyalty.
    It would be silly of me to try and convince you of buying a PC -- Macs are sexy and they're cool and that's what you want. But know that you're not getting a machine that's assembled with the same degree of professionalism as a Dell, an IBM or a SONY. Be aware that Macs are fallible machines and that under that beautiful and shiny exterior lies an imperfect core.

    Sounds like you've been extremely unlucky. Why don't you make apple get you a new one again, if this machine is also flawed?? I have a mac pro and a macbook pro, and even though my mac pro went down today (hopefully something i'll manage to fix), i must say that that machine has been the most stable machine i've ever owned. It's basically been switched on non-stop for 5 1/2 years, the only times i've ever rebooted it has been after installing some software requiring a reboot, and it's always been rock-solid. I've only had my macbook for a year now, but so far it's also a winner. Only thing i dislike about it is the case-design, as it has a spot wich is extremely vulnerable to liquid damage. It's the opening between the screen and the rest of the case. However an opening is needed there for air-flow, but it could be designed in a smarter way.

  • Lack of Availabili​ty is Disappoint​ing

    I don't know if this is so much and idea or suggestion as it is a complaint.  I did not see a better area on the Verizon website to provide my disappointment though.  I moved into my current residence about 10 years ago.  My zip code is 11720.  At that time, I was approached by a FIOS salesman who tried to sell me on home services.  I asked if TV was an option, and was advised that it was not currently an option in my area, but that they expected its availability shortly.  It is now 10 years later and FIOS TV is still not available in my area.  Your company spends millions on advertising every year, but what good does that do you if your product is not available?  I find it a bit ridiculous that I have been waiting a decade and FIOS TV is still not available in my area.  In fact, it makes me truly question whether Verizon is the leader in the industry that it claims to be.  And when I say waiting, I mean waiting, because once is becomes available I am going to switch in a second.  So here is at least one customer that you could have had for the past 10 years, and maybe 20-30 more, but you will never see a dime of my money for the simple reason that you refuse to do what is necessary to bring FIOS TV into my area.  Just doesn't seem like a good business move to me.  I am very, very disappointed in your company!!

    A couple of notes to help you on your quest:
    1) These forums are for customer to customer help.  Verizon reps sometimes escalate specific service issues to the customer service team, but other than that nobody at Verizon responds to feedback such as yours here.
    2) Cable TV service is a political issue.  Depending on where you live, local and/or state governments have the authority to grant franchises to provide cable TV (FiOS TV is a cable TV service, legally speaking).  Verizon has lobbied some states to allow state wide franchising.  As you can imagine, the incumbent cable TV companies fight very hard to keep Verizon out and have fought to block state wide franchising.  Some existing franchises agreements may even be exclusive.
    In short, I am certain that Verizon wants to provide TV service in all areas they've installed FiOS.  If they haven't been granted the franchises, this is most likely due to the current franchises agreements.  If this is really important to you, you'll need to dig into the local and or state process for cable TV franchising and find out why Verizon hasn't gotten one.  Your local politicians may be able to offer some insight.
    Good Luck.

  • Disappointed by missing basic functionality

    I recently started working with Muse, and got frustrated by the fact that there seemingly is no Show/Hide functionality.
    Also, am I correct to say that there is no direct import for Mp3/4 media? If so, why not?
    Lastly: if InDesign can have basic animation options, then surely it wouldn't be so hard to include it in Muse.
    Muse works great, but I am quite disappointed by this lack of basic functionality.
    Cobus

    Thanks for your response.Yes I agree with you  - I put my expectations in the fact that Muse is developing fast.
    However, what I'd regard as a very basic feature  for any interactivity (show/hide), is missing. Instead of having abutton that can show or hide icons on a map, I now I have to create a duplicate of the same page that don't show them. So when a user click the button, another page first has to load!
    Clumsy and stupid.
    Thanks for the link - I'll have a look at it.

  • Disappointed with lack of responses  from Adobe staff

    Recently I've posted a few questions. In the meantime I've
    resolved all problems by trial and error. Most problems have been
    cause by not having complete documentation available.
    I just posted a topic -
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=72&catid=602&threadid =1248092&enterthread=y
    but no longer do I expect a response. Sometimes after a
    search, I see that others have the same or similar problems, but no
    one has answered them.
    Does Adobe expect success with Spry? If so I think they need
    to help the small band of people struggling with it!
    VERY disappointed.
    I also not that at the bottom of the main page of this forum,
    it states, "Important Note: These online forums are for
    user-to-user discussions of Adobe products, and are not an official
    customer support channel for Adobe. If you require direct
    assistance, or prefer to contact Adobe support staff directly,
    please contact Adobe support. "
    But when you click the link, there's no select option for
    Spry!!!

    Hi Kate,
    Believe me when I say that I understand your frustration. I
    just want to state for the record that what seems like our lack of
    response or interest in this forum is not intentional.
    The lack of timely responses is due mainly to the fact that
    we have *lots* of things going on behind the scenes here. Some of
    us read the forums in real-time, and chime in any spare moment we
    have, and it's also frustrating for us to see folks struggling.
    Some posts are easy to answer within a couple of minutes, and some
    take hours to help folks figure out what's going on in their
    pages/apps/site.
    You bring up some very valid points, and I've forwarded them
    on to the appropriate folks internally.
    That said, it seems like most of your questions that have
    gone unanswered revolve around validation widgets. I'll try to
    answer your questions, and perhaps poke other who know more if I
    can't figure it out.

  • Hugely disappointed with Apples lack of Support for iPhone 3G

    I am so very disappointed in Apples lack of response or help regarding the OS4 and iphone 3G.
    Originally a hugh support of Apple's philosophy and product, I find myself questioning their values and ulterior motives.
    Currently, I have an iphone 3G 8GB. It worked like a dream until I installed the OS4. Like other forum members, my phone freezes, sputters, chokes and does all sorts of unusual oddities. I have gone to the Genius Bar at Apple only to be told that, it works fine for everyone else, excluding me and that basically, there is nothing that they can do about it.
    I bring to their attention that on the actual Apple forum, there are others' like myself complaining of the same things! The response I get is that, people on here are not genuine and that you can't believe everything you read. Are they for real? The other responses that I get is to, reboot 3 to 4 times a day, restore, restore to factory, and to wait for the update of OS4.
    But if OS4 is the culprit then how can it accommodate my iphone 3G?
    Oh and the best response I get from the Apple store is, "if you are unhappy with your phone, you can upgrade to the iphone 4"!
    Just recently, I did as told, and updated the OS4 on my phone.. and guess what!? It is worse off than it was previously. I just find it ironic that Apple refused to acknowledge the fact that this operating system (OS4) is rubbish for 3G users.
    IM STILL WAITING FOR APPLE TO MAKE IT RIGHT

    I can only agree with the above. My iPhone 16gb was fine and after my Wife my best friend to be honest. I've never had a more useful piece of i.t. kit and it's really made a difference to my lifestyle.
    My wife's is still on 3.1.2 and comparing our two phones mine *****. My fault for not listening, but you sort of trust Apple until they let you down. OS4 was total crap, 4.0.1 still poor. It's barely faster and several thumbnail photos have gone from the camera roll. Listen to us Mr Jobs!!!
    Your iPhone is not like normal phones. Your customers do not simply discard it for a new one, they may well buy a new version, but the old one will pass between family and friends and still be expected to function well many years hence. My current phone is earmarked for my son, my wife's for my daughter and so on as we renew our contracts. We EXPECT these things to work properly, and if you want loyal Apple customers to be retained you must support your older models fully.
    A 10 year old with his Dad's old 3g used as an iPod, will be more likely to get a newer iPhone or iMac later on.

    Will there be a fix for Firefox's problems with Hotmail. I have gone back to 3.5.9 but mostly I am disappointed by the lack of action on this serious problem where a major and critical feature of a major international website is unavailable in the Firefox browser.
    == URL of affected sites ==

    We've reached out to the Hotmail team and they've determined that this is a bug in their code. (It was masked by a timing issue in 3.5 that was fixed in 3.6.) We've worked with them to develop a fix but they may not have deployed it yet.

  • The Bluetooth low energy protocol is not backward compatible with classic Bluetooth protocol. My iPhone 4s can not find my sonny in-dash player. However my iPhone 3GS does it. Very disappointed with this. Any idea how it can be fixed???

    The Bluetooth low energy protocol is not backward compatible with classic Bluetooth protocol.
    My iPhone 4s can not find my sonny in-dash player. However my iPhone 3GS does it. Very disappointed with this.
    Any idea how it can be fixed??????

    Hello,
    You are correct, Blue tooth low engergy, BTLE.(only) devices are not backward compatible with Classic bluetooth and cannot connect.
    However the Apple 4S and above have Bluetooth 4.0 support.. Hardware wise it has bothClassic Bluetooth, like the 3GS, as well as Bluetooth Low Energy.  There is no good reason why your 4s cannot communicate to your Sony in-dash player using the Classic bluetooth that resides in the 4S.
    I know that this does not answer the why it does not work, but it should work. Do you have to somehow re-pair the new phone up to the player?  Not  knowing the model of the Sony it is hard to investigate.
    And I hate to ask but are you sure that the Bluetooth radio is on in the phone?

  • I am very disappointed in CFBuilder 2

    I have been using CFBuilder since it first came out. I went through some of the early beta annoyances and even some of the situations where a new beta version came out and stopped the current one from working, effectively halting my production until it was fixed. That being said, I love CFBuilder and it has been a mostly positive experience. It has all of the good things about CFEclipse, with a lot of helpful enhancements.
    When CFBuilder 2 came out, I was very excited to get my hands on it. I am sure I don't need to go into detail about how important a functional and feature rich IDE is to a developers day, so I am always looking forward to the latest and greatest. CFBuilder 2 falls short in so many ways and after talking many other developers, I realize that I am not the only one with that opinion. I am surprised that Adobe has produced such a bug ridden product.
    Being a developer myself, I understand all to well the need to get a product released and making money, but this product is unusable and is making Adobe look bad. I talked to a number of developers at cf.Objective about this and I wasn't surprised that many of them shared my negative experience.
    Because I have had issues upgrading from one version to the next in the past, it is my practice to install a fresh version, so there are less issues. I am running Windows 7, but I have talked to friends that are working on Macs and have experienced these problems as well. Here are just a few of my gripes:
    - In early versions of Builder and CFEclipse as well, syntax highlighting would occasionally break and would leave your code looking like it was in notepad. Sometimes it would repair itself after time, or you just needed to type something, or highlight code and it would correct itself. In later versions this got much better and all but disappeared. In CFBuilder 2 the problem is back and worse than it ever was. The only way I could fix it much of the time was to just close the file and reopen it.
    - In addition to the syntax highlighting breaking, it seems to hang much of the time. It actually crashed my editor a couple of times. Even when I set the setting to make it only refresh when you save, it still seemed to try to update anyway.
    - When going to a new line, for some reason it is inserting an extra tab. I see that there is some new code formatting functionality, and I tried to change this behavior, but I couldn't find a way. This is changed behavior from how it worked before and it is frustrating having to search for options just to have it work the way it was originally. I am not really sure who would want the extra tab anyway. It is a tab that doesn't follow the flow of your regular indentation.
    - The auto closing of tags doesn't seem to work properly anymore. I tried toggling the settings to see if that would help, but I wasn't able to get it working.
    - The previous version gave us some really cool hotkeys. CTRL+SHIFT+A to insert an abort, CTRL+SHIFT+D to insert a cfdump, C and CTRL+SHIFT+M to wrap code in a comment. In CFB2, all of those keys have been remapped by default... I understand that the functions are still there, but it doesn't make sense to me that they were moved.
    Honestly, after fighting these issues for only a very short period of time, I got frustrated, uninstalled the app and went back to CFBuilder 1. It seems like this was a complete rewrite and wasn't very well tested. I realize that I could have been a little more detailed on the explanation of some of these issues, but I really don't have anymore time to waste on this unfinished product...
    I am very disappointed that this was pushed out in such a non-functional state and I won't feel comfortable giving it another chance until I start hearing that things are vastly improved.
    I realize that the tone of this is somewhat negative, but it comes from hours of frustration and wasted time. I only decided to post this after I spoke with a number of my peers that are equally disappointed. I hope this can serve as a nudge to improve the quality of future releases.
    Jeff

    --^ everything this guy says.
    It's such a shame to see some people want always to suggest that because something doesn't work for them (and even some of their peers) that therefore it must be true for everyone, and that the product and team are shoddy. We hear the same of CF sometimes, and since I do CF server (and sometimes CFBuilder) troubleshooting for a living, I can affirm that rarely if ever is the problem (or rarely are "all the problems" someone experiences) really due to inferiority of the product.
    There's usually an explanation in there somewhere, for why what fails miserably for someone does seem to work just fine for others. Often, it seems to have to do with some configuration issue.
    In CFB, particularly, it's indeed important to get many config things right: some features won't work unless a file is opened within a project, and further some will only work if the file is opened in a project that is connected to a server. Then, too, you may connect a project to a server, but not do it right, or have something that's just not working (like connecting to a remote server and specifying the JNDI port but it's not the one on which the connected CF server is listening on, or you provide the RDS password but RDS is not enabled on the server, or the ports for either are blocked, and so on.)
    I will grant that someone will see that and say, "well see, that's what I mean: you have to be a bloody technician to get it all working". Well, yes, to a degree. CFB tries to do a LOT for you. It isn't "just an editor" (but most here know that), but it's more than even most Eclipse plugins--they (nearly all) work with source code alone. CFB is working with both source code and the configuration of stuff on a back-end server, such as what datasources exist (in CF), what components exist (on the CF server, as defined by CF admin mappings, custom tag paths, and the web server root), and so on.
    It can't "just look at your code". It needs to do this back-end communication to bring all the hotness that it does. But if that connection doesn't work, then it can either fail (obviously or silently), or perform poorly.
    So yes, it's a shame when someone's configuration gets in the way and makes it seem that CFB sucks. But the reason you hear from others "no it doesn't" is just that either they don't have the same setup, or don't have the same configuration challenges, or they have solved them, or whatever.
    But please, I wish people would stop with the "it sucks" mantra, just because it doesn't work for them (and some of their peers).
    Jason and I (and others, I'm sure) are at least here to say, "it doesn't suck for us".
    That doesn't make you wrong. It just means that your assertion that it sucks in general (calling it " unfinished product...pushed out in such a non-functional state"). I realize that countering your point, I run the risk of your (and noraaron's) wrath. Please don't shoot us as the messengers. We're just offering a contrasting viewpoint.

    I am a long-term user of Lightroom as a standalone product with a perpetual licence. As a retired person on limited income, it is very disappointing to me that Adobe have introduced the 'Creative Cloud' (CC) subscription service in order for me to be able to continue upgrading this excellent product. It will be for me too expensive at the minimum cost of £9 per month. The additional services that CC brings are personally of no relevance or usefulness. Adobe should be prepared to support existing users who are, like myself, non commercial, amateur photographers by giving them the simple opportunity to upgrade to Lightroom 6 as a standalone, perpetual licence product. As a member of a camera club I know my co-members who use Lightroom are equally disappointed by this move to a subscription-only service.

    That is possible, John, but it is only speculation on your part. Might, not will.

    There is a "Lightroom 6" upgrade available for US $79 if you have a valid license for any of the earlier versions. From what I can tell, the only difference between Lightroom 6 Full, Lightroom 6 Upgrade and LightroomCC is in the license. The download file is the same.
    Other differences - with CC you get LrMobile/LrWeb and they throw in a free copy of Photoshop too.
    Yes, but when I bought my standalone license and clicked on the "Download" button it took me to the LightroomCC page. The downloaded file is named Lightroom 6, but in the CC app the installed program is LightroomCC (2015).
