Pros

More QAD Cloud ERP Pros →

"This is a robust solution with a lot of control measures.""It meets our requirements for what we need it to do in the manufacturing industry.""ERP can help manage all enterprise resources. It brings them together and provides some analytical data to inform management decisions.""It is an integrated application, and it has been working really well. Earlier, there were different companies for different applications for manufacturing, finance controlling, logistics, and quality. It probably was the first fully integrated application. Whenever somebody is entering any data, for example, invoice data or ordering data, everyone with a right to see this data can see it in the system.""It is easier to migrate to SAP ERP from a legacy system. We have different products for data services, and it is easier to migrate to SAP ERP as compared to other solutions. Stability is one of the main features of SAP. What makes SAP ERP better than others is that SAP has taken into consideration the business processes of different industries, such as manufacturing. They have done the research, and they know what are the best practices. They have already implemented these best practices in SAP ERP, which are readily available for a client. Clients can also customize it based on their individual needs.""The valuable feature of SAP ERP is that everything is connected and under one roof, creating a unified system.""The most valuable features are that it's very customizable and it's flexible.""The transactional integration of operations is the best-recommended feature of this product. It provides integration of all operational modules."

Cons
"Just implementing an ERP system takes a lot of time.""The product lacks a lot of features and technology."

More QAD Cloud ERP Cons →

"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 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.""We will not make any major changes, and we are not expecting any enhancements or new features from SAP because they already have a new solution. No development is happening on SAP ERP because SAP has come up with a new version called SAP S/4HANA, which is memory-based technology. We are planning to upgrade to SAP S/4HANA, but we don't know when it will happen. We are in the preparation phase.""SAP ERP is scalable. We have some five to ten thousand SAP ERP users.""The initial setup of SAP ERP is complex and it took a lot of time.""The solution is quite expensive. They need to work on the pricing to make it more reasonable.""When there is a system error it provides an error code and a lot of times these can be complicated. The support team could have more knowledge to be able to assist with these situations more promptly.""The version that we are using lacks in reporting. The reporting feature needs to be constructed more in this product. There can be better scope for mobility. They could include the technical development of reports instead of depending completely on programming. The programming method needs to be easy."
