The features that are most valuable are auto-triggers for activities, an integrated portal, and automated student status changes. There is nothing that will help with standards-based grading.
* CampusPortal is in need of an update: This is coming later in 2017. * Clock hour programs work OK in CampusVue, but they are not setup as well as credit programs * Grading is centered around letter grades. There is nothing in CampusVue that will help with standards-based grading.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"CampusNexus Student provides everything needed in an SIS."
"It is the best solution in the class of ERP products."
"ERP is very stable."
"We run our entire business from order receipt to invoicing, and we also do manufacturing, purchasing, invoice control, billing, and reporting on SAP."
"The solution has made the most significant impact on our human resources function, specifically in HR operations and HR analytics. One feature of SAP ERP that I found most valuable is its use of codes for accessing specific functions."
"The power of ABAP Development Tools is the main valuable feature in the SAP ECC system. Every couple of years SAP upgrades ABAP technology significantly, which facilitates developers' work."
"MDG provides a central location for governance of the creation/updating processes of master data."
"SAP ERP is one of the best solutions."
"The solution is quite scalable."
 

Cons

"CampusPortal is in need of an update: This is coming later in 2017."
"We have never had a bad experience with this solution, except for how the system is over-customized."
"It should be less complex. It should also have better integration capability. I am using the ACC version, and in this version, the integration and the communication are very difficult and complicated."
"The production system must be upgraded."
"It would be better if SAP ERP offered more competitive pricing. It would also help if it were more open, more flexible, with more standard products."
"The flexibility in using the software could improve. I am from a product background and I've been testing a lot of applications, for example, Informatics. The UI, features, and cloud version could improve."
"There should be better support provided to be able to migrate to S/4HANA easier."
"The system is very big. It is not exactly user-friendly, due to the fact that it's so massive and complex."
"Our customers initially find the solution quite complex and not very user-friendly so that is something that could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There is an annual subscription for the use of SAP ERP."
"SAP is quite expensive."
"The price of SAP ERP is high, but it is worth the money. The maintenance and support can be expensive. There should be a different price model for businesses that are not as large to be able to afford it."
"When we talk about pricing it is expensive. On a scale of one to ten, it would rank a two. There are no additional fees but the user licenses are high."
"I rate SAP ERP's pricing a six or seven out of ten."
"The solution has moved from a licensing model to a rights-based, subscription model in the cloud."
"I am not sure. However, extensions cost approximately $100,000 or$200,000."
"We pay annually for the use of this solution."
