Long-term adaptation and evolution meets changing technology trends
SAP ERP is not really real-time. We use the HANA database which is supposed to be memory data in memory, but we are still not very happy. It is supposed to be real-time and come very quickly, but in reality, it still takes time to run. That is why we use BW of SAP, Business Objects, and now we have moved to the Analytic Cloud where we start using predictive AI. SAP recently implemented Databricks, and they started investing significantly in the analytic environment. SAP ERP has been left behind as they moved to S/4HANA with the HANA database. They restructured the whole table structure of SAP ERP, introduced simple finance, simple logistics, and moved HR to SuccessFactors. They have the BTP layer where they manage everything from integration to master data management. The challenge with SAP is that they move very fast to different products and buy different products. It requires significant investment and many skills to catch up because all of these have different sets of technology. The fundamental has changed differently. It is not monolithic anymore but different products under one name, SAP. You have to buy it model by model for additional models. Products such as SuccessFactors, Ariba for procure to pay, Concur for travel, and Facility Management use totally different technology. They try to integrate with each other, but it remains a challenge for SAP to make them have the same management, technology, and operational approach.

"The tool's usability is straightforward."
"It is an affordable ERP system and rich in functionality, providing good control of processes."
"The solution provides a high level of integration."
"It is a comprehensive and robust solution, and it can provide lots of functional features; it's great for enterprise-level organizations."
"The system can be integrated with other SAP functionalities - such as finance, production, sales, marketing, HR, et cetera, and can also be customized to become a model that's specifically designed for my business. That's the solution's most valuable aspect."
"I like that SAP ERP is very robust and stable."
"The valuable feature of SAP ERP is that everything is connected and under one roof, creating a unified system."
"SAP is already working on improvements by doing annual releases with enhancements."
"The solution provides good production planning."

Cons

"The reporting Module should be improved and a drag and drop functionality should be added."
"The build-in dashboard and reporting customization should be improved."
"The system has enough controls, but still there is scope for improvement."
"Improvements could be made regarding user-friendliness and transitioning fully to a web version. Features like forex reconciliation and a cash flow planning module could enhance the solution."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"Functionality could be improved."
"The solution is not ready for the current e-commerce environment."
"In the next release, I would like to see more technical integration for directly designed solutions on behalf of the selling process so that you can design solutions and not have to use ten or more other tools to get the solution for selling."
"I think the license fees are too high."
"The warehouse management could be better."
"Agility is an area that needs to improve. The speed to build and the speed to deliver could be better."
"It is not easily integrated with outside products because we purchased the finance, timesheet and project management modules on-premises and the HR module on cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is moderately priced. The licensing cost is around sixty thousand USD for annual maintenance. If you're using an application-specific license, it is a little cheaper. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The price of the solution is fair compared to competitors."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten. Customizations can cost you extra money."
"I rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap or affordable, and ten is really expensive. The solution is expensive."
"The product has high pricing."
"There is a one-time license that is needed to use the solution. The support is what is needed to be renewed annually."
"SAP ERP is an expensive tool."
"SAP ECC is not cheap but I consider it the best system for managing an organization's data and processes."
"We pay annually for the use of this solution."
"This is a costly product."
"When you have a solution that is stable, reliable, and has a high performance as this solution, the price is going to be expensive. However, when you evaluate the service you are paying for the cost is quite reasonable for this solution."
