Sybiz Vision running slow

Description: Sybiz users experience extended loading times accessing their database and consistent slow performance issues using their Sybiz solution.

Affected versions: All versions of Sybiz Vision and Sybiz Visipay

Workaround: N/A

Resolution: There are several possible underlying issues which can cause your Sybiz solution to run slowly. If your Sybiz Vision or Sybiz Visipay solution doesn’t seem to be running as fast or seamlessly as when it was first implemented, we recommend contacting your Business Partner to check the following possible causes.

Update to the latest version of Microsoft SQL

As the underlying framework for your data, staying up to date with the latest version of Microsoft SQL can ensure the speed and reliability of your entire Sybiz solution.

Operating with an outdated version of Microsoft SQL - or even operating with the entry-level version, Microsoft SQL Express - likely means you aren’t getting the best possible performance out of your Sybiz solution. Speak to your IT administrator if you think your Microsoft SQL service is not up to date or taking full advantage of the features on offer.

Have your BP do a ‘configuration check-up’

Every business has a unique implementation of their Sybiz solution. However, there are some configuration settings that should be applied across any Sybiz implementation. One of the most common causes of a slow solution is when these configuration settings are not implemented properly. Your Authorised Business Partner is responsible for managing these configurations and should perform a ‘configuration check-up’ to ensure they are meeting the specifications recommended by Sybiz.

Check your performance dashboard

Sybiz Vision comes with 40 dashboards to provide incredible analysis of your business performance. But it also includes a dashboard for analysing your software performance, called Performance and Integrity. You may need your IT administrator to help you interpret this data, but it can provide valuable insight into how your Sybiz solution is operating and where efficiencies can be gained.

Check your internet connection

Accessing Sybiz in the cloud can make your business more agile and unlock huge potential. But the reliability and speed of your internet connection still plays an important role.

Some connection technologies provide faster, more stable internet access and your location – whether metropolitan or regional – can affect the technologies available to your business.

If your cloud-hosted solution seems to be running slow, you can perform an internet speed test to see your average download and upload speeds. If you find your internet speeds are not performing adequately, you may find better performance with an NBN connection or a high bandwidth wireless solution, such as 5G.
