What are the disadvantages of the new interface model “1C:Enterprise 8”? Like any innovation designed to seriously change the familiar picture of the world, the main drawback is its unfamiliarity. Unfortunately, no new opportunities and new degrees of freedom are given for free.
Implementation « 1C: Enterprise" is the first and most important step towards automation of the company. There are several options for the implementation procedure with their own advantages and disadvantages. Let's briefly consider the main ones.
Without a doubt, the most common is a dedicated file server. Even an ordinary powerful PC can act in this capacity, although it is preferable to use a server, at least an entry-level one. A server OS or operating system for a workstation is installed on a dedicated server, after which shared user access to the folder where the 1C: Enterprise database will be stored is configured.
Among the undoubted advantages of this option are ease of implementation and a high level of accessibility. Among the disadvantages are the likelihood of problems with system performance as the number of users increases, as well as not very high reliability due to restrictions imposed on file databases.
For large organizations that require fairly high security, performance, and reliability requirements, the best option would be implementation of 1C using an industrial SQL Server DBMS. The use of specialized software from Microsoft also implies a higher level of investment in the company's infrastructure. This includes the use of a licensed Windows Server server system and the need to purchase additional server equipment. Finally, the version of 1C: Enterprise for SQL server itself is more expensive.
However, the advantages that this method promises automation 1C, outweigh the high cost. The SQL Server DBMS does not require re-indexing in the event of various failures, it has sufficient performance, is safe and reliable, has built-in backup tools, and also protects information from unauthorized access.
In addition to the high cost, the disadvantage of this option is the high requirements for the quality of implementation. That is, an insufficiently qualified system administrator may well reduce all the above-described advantages to zero.
If the load on the database of such a server seriously increases, its performance may not be enough, and then the solution may be to allocate an additional server with Server + SQL Server software configurations.
The main disadvantage of this option is the complexity of administration.
In some cases, it is necessary to organize remote access to the server. In this case automation 1C involves solving two additional problems: configuring the network appropriately and ensuring acceptable performance. Network configuration can be done in various ways (encryption, filtering by IP addresses, authorization using a USB token).
This will require the purchase of special system software and hardware to ensure routing of VPN connections, security of information transfer, etc. Microsoft has a good product for this kind of task - ISA Server 2006. In any case, the implementation of 1C and the integration of this product does not cause any particular difficulties, which is facilitated by the presence of detailed documentation.
From a performance point of view, the most promising solution for connecting offices is to use a terminal server. But the requirements for professionally and competently performed work on setting up 1C and all its components are increasing many times over, and this must be taken into account when choosing an implementing company.
As a rule, the terminal server is included in the Windows Server distribution, but client licenses will need to be purchased separately. You should also be aware that these licenses will need to be activated on the terminal connection server, and registration can occur either for a specific user or for a specific device.
With option implementation of 1C Based on a terminal server, the use of client licenses provides the system with additional flexibility - if a user is able to log into the system using different computers, a single client license can be applied to them. Unlike device licenses, CALs are not stored in the computer registry and can only be installed on a Windows Server Terminal Services server.
Microsoft ISA Server 2006 is a solution that combines Web caching, application-level firewall, and private virtual network management and organization. Using this software allows you to improve the performance of your organization's local network. A server license is purchased without restrictions regarding the number of processors on the server and the number of system users.
We continue what we have already done a lot.
Not long ago, a client once again approached me with a well-known problem. His company installed 1C updates. And the work stopped because the program stopped working correctly. I think everyone who has encountered software products from 1C as a programmer or user is very familiar with this situation.
Of course, in this particular case, I tried to solve all the problems as quickly as possible, and, as a result, the office work returned to normal. But even in this situation, I received a lot of negativity from the client. And then I thought about why so many problems constantly arise with 1C software products, why there is so much negativity from clients, and why 1C programmers themselves are often disliked, including by other programmers?
In this article, I decided to offer my version of the reasons that lead to such negativity. I will try to use as few specific terms as possible so that the text is understandable to as many readers as possible.
At the same time, for some time I myself was exclusively engaged in 1C programming, and today I very actively use software products from 1C in my work, and I am very grateful to this company for giving me the opportunity to earn money, including for me.
But on the other hand, I believe that the reasons for the negativity also need to be understood. At least in order not to leave it all at the level of intuition and emotions.
It was replaced by the 7th version, including its most successful release - 1C 7.7. It was already a fairly powerful software product, which became very widespread throughout the post-Soviet space. By this time, most users were so accustomed to working with 1C that the ability to use these programs became one of the conditions for hiring accountants, various office personnel, as well as managers, storekeepers, etc.
In principle, 1C 7.7 quite successfully solved problems associated with various types of accounting. Moreover, this software product is still used in some cases, which also indicates its popularity.
Now this software amazes with the breadth of its capabilities and at the same time the complexity of the system.
Today the 1C company provides an entire ecosystem for its clients:
Next, the programmer adjusts the operation of the selected configurations to the needs of a particular company, often installs additional plugins, refines certain reports, creates new documents that participate as internal document flow in this company, etc.
At the same time, both in the platform and in any configuration there is a fairly large number of bugs from the developer. And the system itself is so complex and voluminous that fixing these bugs with the help of a 1C programmer is very difficult and, most importantly, unprofitable for the end user. Moreover, both the platform and the configurations themselves are distinguished by such an unpleasant quality as the lack of modularity.
As a result, you have to install updates to fix bugs. In this case, the entire platform and/or configuration is updated each time. Naturally, such a solution takes a lot of time, and if we are talking about configuration, then settings, additional plugins and other modifications carried out by the programmer will most likely have to be done again.
But this is not the saddest thing in the situation with 1C updates. The saddest thing is that the developer’s website shows that updates are released very often, sometimes even 3-4 times a month. In some cases, unimportant errors are corrected, in others - serious bugs related to the operation of the entire system.
Each new version is an addition of functionality and a kind of “patch” to the bugs of the previous one, which corrects old errors, but almost always introduces new ones. Therefore, installing updates is a mostly unpredictable process.
Why do I personally find the lack of modularity to be a problem? Let's understand it with an example. Let's say there is a need to refine some functions necessary for the successful operation of Trade Management or to make changes to the means of storing balances. But in the 1C platform everything is interconnected, and therefore you also have to drag out updates to work with salaries, accounting, etc. and so on.
In the absence of modularity, in order to make even the smallest changes, you have to study the entire array, the entire platform.
At the same time, the 1C platform is very large and cumbersome. Today it contains so much that at first it even evokes admiration because of the wealth of possibilities. But as you use this platform, the admiration quickly wears off. 1C developers, in an effort to make the program universal, added many different features to the platform.
And now you get at the same time a powerful tool, a convenient visual interface and... many problems and bugs due to the complexity of the system.
Let me give you another example. Let's say for my work I only need Trade. The company does not use anything else, neither the mobile interface, nor accounting, nor the online store, nor any other components. But no matter what, when I receive updates, I receive the entire platform, including the functionality necessary for the operation of those components that I do not use. Those. Despite the fact that I use Commerce, and the updates are designed to work with Accounting, I have to download and install the entire platform.
So, imagine the situation. There is a company that employs, for example, 30 people. After the update, the program stopped accepting license keys. The company's work is paralyzed. The company suffers losses.
An important problem: the unpredictability of the platform's behavior when updating.
In addition to the fact that the license often fails, after updating the platform it may contain new functionality, which may also not work correctly. But you can only check the quality of work and identify new bugs in a new version of the program in practice, i.e. in progress.
Let me remind you that the platform is very large and cumbersome, and therefore it is simply unrealistic to test it with a programmer in a short time. And all this must be taken into account with each update.
So, the situation for the programmer looks like this:
Due to the lack of modularity, additional difficulties also arise, since it is practically impossible to identify all errors and debug such a cumbersome software product. As a result, new updates are constantly being released.
Another very important reason for the constant presence of bugs and the situation with them is the lack of competition. In fact, 1C is now a monopolist.
Of course, alternative software products are being created, some of them are quite decent. But so far all of them are applied solutions capable of solving certain problems, while 1C is a whole ecosystem.
Moreover, the 1C company is distinguished by very powerful and aggressive marketing; everyone knows about this software.
That is why I claim that today 1C does not have a worthy competitor in the post-Soviet space. And the lack of competition always leads to a decrease in the quality of the product itself, which we see in the example of 1C: constant “raw” updates, constant bugs, lack of detailed documentation for updates, etc.
Therefore, I personally advise all my clients not to update unless absolutely necessary. By the way, I myself received the same advice from one of the people who were at the origins of 1C.
Of course, the current version definitely has some bugs, but if you work in it without problems, then these bugs are not critical for you. It is impossible to predict what will happen in the new version. Therefore, updates should be installed only when it becomes really necessary for work.
But the majority of users use only 4 configurations:
In addition, due to the lack of modularity, you often have to update, even if the changes affect functions that you do not use. Simply because an error in this functionality can lead to incorrect operation of other modules.
If we talk about Trade, my practice shows that in fact people use no more than 30% of the total functionality of this component. The situation is similar in other typical configurations. In pursuit of implementing the maximum number of features, developers have created very cumbersome and complex products in which everything is interconnected, and therefore even disabling unnecessary functionality is not always possible.
For example, when updating Trade, the developers added a new bonus system. The client does not use bonuses at all. He doesn't need them. But if you try to disable these bonuses, the discount system begins to work incorrectly. I encountered this situation in practice. Of course, solving this problem required the help of a programmer.
Lately, I have come to the conclusion that, after completing a project, I advise all clients not to update at all. I configured everything as needed for work, together with the client and his employees we tested the configuration and made sure that everything worked well. Therefore, there is no need to update the configuration until the need for major changes arises.
Imagine a situation where a company operates in some configuration without updates calmly and reliably. But there was a need, for example, to create another report or install additional processing. Naturally, in this case they turn to a specialist.
What happens next? A 1C programmer comes and sees that the program has not been updated for a long time. He tells the client how bad this is, explains that without updates he will not be able to set up the report the customer needs or perform other work, scares him with the large number of errors that are in the old version, etc. and so on. In general, it convinces the client to buy and install updates.
In fact, in most cases there is no objective need for updates. But the amount of work the programmer does and, accordingly, his fee increases significantly. By the way, this is why many users have a negative attitude towards 1C programmers. From their point of view, they pay 90% of the amount to the programmer for something that worked perfectly before he started working, i.e. they have to pay for the same functionality several times.
There is a whole section on the 1C website where you can find certified partners in your region who provide maintenance services for 1C software products. These partners have been certified and pay affiliate fees. It would seem that everything is in order.
But in fact, the 1C company practically does not work with partners:
I have already mentioned that 1C is a whole ecosystem. In some ways it can even be compared to Apple. There is a whole system built there, consisting of hardware, software and resellers. 1C also has a platform, there are configurations, there are certified resellers.
But if Apple very strictly controls quality at all stages - from production to the work of partners, and the highest quality is one of the important competitive advantages for this brand, then in the 1C company everything is completely different. There is practically no service here, no one controls the work of partners, as a result, the quality of post-sale work with the software is very low.
It is also interesting that the 1C company directs its marketing efforts primarily to consumers of the product, i.e. on users. And working with configurations is completely focused on programmers. As a result, one thing is advertised, but in practice it turns out that the buyer received something completely different.
And here the reasons for the negativity towards 1C programmers and the software product itself also appear.
When I stopped working only with 1C and started doing business consulting, I started using a variety of software products in my work. These were sites on Drupal, and systems like ZOHO CRM, ATOL RMK, Redmine, and many other systems. And almost all of these services and programs do not require constant and frequent updates. And when updating there are not so many problems.
While the 1C company makes money in two directions: on sales and on constant updates. But what does the client have to do with it? He is forced to pay and upgrade, since there is no other choice. Moreover, all products used in the enterprise have to be updated simultaneously.
For example, if you use Trade, a really useful update has been released for it that fixes some bug that is relevant to you, you will definitely need to update Accounting as well. Because data exchange is only possible between identical configuration versions. If you decide to leave Accounting without updating, then uploading documents from Trade to Accounting will no longer work for you.
As a result, the client is forced to use a system that constantly breaks down and regularly pay to restore it. Of course, the client becomes negative. But he cannot switch to some other software product, he simply does not see a worthy alternative.
Yes, there are other accounting systems in our country, some of them are even gradually catching up with 1C in terms of capabilities. But marketing is a great thing! Therefore, the client does not see an alternative, and, despite the constant negativity, makes another payment.
A user who buys 1C software products and orders a website on 1C-Bitrix sees a common brand and is confident that these are products of the same line that will always work together without problems.
In fact, CMS Bitrix is a separate product that was developed by specialists who have nothing to do with the 1C company. Later, integration tools with 1C line products were added to this CMS, and a new name “1C-Bitrix” appeared. This happened because the 1C company bought a large stake in Bitrix and decided to use this CMS along with its software.
Moreover, the programmers who set up 1C for you will not be able to install and configure Bitrix. Here you will need a web programmer, a Bitrix specialist. The integration is partly configured by 1C programmers, partly by Bitrix specialists. And there are cases when the user does not know who to contact at all.
For example, I had this situation. After the latest updates, my client’s data exchange with the site stopped working. I turned to a 1C specialist, but he was unable to help us, since, in his opinion, the problem was on Bitrix’s side. We turned to a Bitrix programmer. He also threw up his hands and said that the problem, most likely, was still on the 1C side. Data exchange with the site did not work for about 2 weeks. The client was forced to manually download prices and balances and unload orders from the website. In the end, we were lucky. I contacted a programmer who knew both Bitrix and 1C, and he set up the exchange module.
At the same time, you need different specialists to maintain the website and 1C programs. After all, these are different products. They are used for different purposes, have different platforms, and require knowledge of different technologies to work with them.
Negativity from users is caused by:
