SAP ERP Reviews

We run our entire business from order receipt to invoicing. We also do manufacturing, purchasing, invoice control, billing, and reporting on SAP.

It integrates everything into one process.

There will always be something within our business that it won't fit.

The scalability is good.

They have dealt with our issues well. The technical support is good.

Think of processes as not being linear. Think of them as being three dimensional. You have to consider not just what you want to achieve out of processes, but also if there are secondary consequences.

Most important criteria when selecting a vendor: Whether the product is compatible with SAP.

European migration in the 2000's was the main reason to change. The legacy mainframe bespoke application was difficult to maintain.

We were able to consolidate various obsolete IT systems 15 years ago in the context of merging several companies into a more integrated business.

Finance view across functions has been valuable. The platform has been used to automate transactional processes.

The ergonomics of ECC were poor and unattractive to newcomers, as businesses expect process streamlining.

I use SAP for logistics transactions. I test SAP transactions to make sure they work correctly and train colleagues who are SAP users.

As our Warehouse Management System, SAP efficiently manages our warehouse operations in real-time.

The most valuable features are its worldwide reach.

Although you can use SAP as a Warehouse Management System, and you don’t need any other program for that purpose, it is not enough as a Transportation Management System. You need another program which is integrated with SAP. I think this is an area where SAP should improve. It should be work as a Transportation Management System.

As a manager/team leader and developer with a strong technical background, I work with all aspects of the system in various industries and use cases.

SAP ECC consolidates five to seven back-office systems under one platform in our organization.

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.

The user interface has room for improvement. SAP is working on it and the improvements are on the way.

I encountered issues due to human error. SAP support solved the problems. Technical support for customers has improved a lot. It includes live chat support so, in some cases, you can get answers to solve your problem immediately.

SAP ECC is not cheap but I consider it the best system for managing an organization's data and processes.

SAP ERP is the best product for managing all back-office processes in a large organization. All data is stored in a single system which includes one database.

We use two modules. Materials Management (MM) handles the procurement-to-payment process, from inventory through final invoice receipt and verification. Master Data Governance (MDG) centrally creates, changes, and distributes or consolidates master data across the complete enterprise system landscape.

It gives us full control over each change, to the level of the individual field in a master record, including certificates.

MDG provides a central location for governance of the creation/updating processes of master data. It allows you to change several fields in the same object. For example, we can change a field on the purchasing view and change another field on an accounting view to the same material at the same time.

The UI could use improvement.

It runs our company. We try to put as much into the system to have data consistency. Heavy integration is available with all types of systems, and we use it.

It gives one answer to questions. That is the beauty of an integrated system. Everybody is using it. 

The new Visual Enterprise functionalities: They give an intuitive approach to data and make communication between engineering and production easy.

Improvements to the UI. The UI is pretty old, but this will change with the upcoming release of S.4.

It needs a more complete guidance with complete processes. Right now, it only has single transactions.

• Supported over 180 types of business
• Seamless integration inside SAP
• Quick updates
• Built-in localized versions

I work on project-based organization. There was no method to plan, record, monitor and invoice the hours other than a spreadsheet. After implementing SAP, these processes are being incorporated with a very high level of satisfaction.

The talent management sub-modules need to be improved more. Clients are looking for more flexibility and a better GUI.

I have used it for almost seven years.

We have not encountered any stability issues.

We have not encountered any scalability issues.

Technical support is 6/10.

Overall, initial setup is very complex.

If you have the budget, then I would highly recommend implement it.

• Supply Chain Management (MM, SD, CS, PP, PM and WM)
• Finance and Controlling (FI/CO)
• Human Capital Management (HCM)
• Analytics (BI and BO)
• Quality Management (QM)
• Project System (PS)
• SRM, CRM, ESS/MSS, EP and so on

Decision making, requirement planning, and real-time MIS have all improved within the company.

Certain things are off-the shelf, but there are a few things that need to be developed based on client specific or unique business processes.
