SAP ERP Reviews

Our company helps customers integrate the solution for interface resource planning and cutting across different functions. The solution manages end-to-end processes for sales, material or inventory management, material or production planning, quality management, human resources, financial management, and cost accounting. 

We have 100 consultants scattered across the globe including 30 in the United States, 45 in Latin America, and the rest in India. We have many large customers in North America and one of the leading telecom providers in Latin America. 

We help with rollouts, maintenance, and acquisitions. We are also in the process of becoming a silver partner with the solution. 

The solution's framework is amazing because it is architected to follow the principles of cost and financial accounting. 

The accounting module's record and report process is closely integrated with almost every other process. Any event happening across any function of the business is automatically updated in the accounting reports. 

The solution is quickly expanding its hybrid cloud and cloud-to-cloud integrations. Its new tool called Business Technology Platform catches integrations. It provides a single platform for development with the SAP-owned ABAP and other technologies like Java or open source. Integrations are available for systems both within and outside of the enterprise. 

We use this solution to review processes the parent company implements in China. Extra configurations on the system are included based on optimization proposals, and we can optimize the functions to the requirements. In addition, I work as a certified MM consultant and have access to minimal usability functions.

A valuable feature is the application of customer feedback to improve the system by the retailer. Millions of dollars have been saved doing this. Improvements relating to costing structures can be made, and the system usability from on-premise to cloud and the terabytes and gigabytes required in the system have dramatically reduced. An example is working in the MM area with the system. Only a simple vendor had master data and many tables. From 40, the SAP on the cloud or the HANA version has reduced it to two tables. So it's a significant decrease still growing. By applying customer feedback, they have improved as retailers of their products.

One of the most relevant features is that the product connects to every software. Our third parties can integrate through SAP ERP extremely easily, integrate with data transfer and communicate within the solution. The solution is reliable for external connections that other software doesn't provide.

The service could be more user-friendly regarding transition codes. There are more than 65,000 four and six-digit codes from every field and domain. A person like me, or anyone else, can't remember all of them. So something easier to remember or work with would be an improvement for all SAP products, not just ERP.

Our business is completely integrated into SAP ERP, including all our machines and processes, such as vendor sales, customer support, production, and quality management. We currently use a bunch of modules in SAP.

The best feature of SAP ERP is the full integration. Each model in the SAP system works with the same data. You have only one single point of truth, considering the data. You can automate many things in SAP, like workflows and some APIs to send and receive EDI (electronic data interchange) documents from our customers and suppliers.

In the past, it was a pure on-premise solution. As the market has gone on, SAP is all also delivering hybrid or public and private clouds. Because you can configure SAP for huge automotive factories — like Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Benz, for example — they do have some development inside of these kinds of software. Therefore, it's really difficult to bring everything into the cloud. 

So, although SAP is making a lot of business with the hybrid or private and public cloud solutions, I think there are still others who would like to use solutions other than pure cloud solutions. This is my impression.

I'm an old-fashioned guy, so I feel better when I have GUI. So, not a web browser. This makes me feel better because of security issues.

My company's clients use SAP ERP to improve their business processes, aligning the company's finances and inventory management. The tool also helps my company's clients to meet the regulations and compliances of the government or the countries where they operate.

SAP ERP is useful to make business processes more efficient and to bring in better controls within an organization.

It is the business process that SAP ERP captures very well as it supports the business process and evolves with the organization. Being one of the oldest ERP systems, a company can buy SAP and use it for the longest time they can think of, and they don't need to change the ERP system, which is one of the biggest advantages SAP ERP offers.

SAP ERP's interface is pretty easy nowadays, as it has evolved over time and has been made as user-friendly as a person would like it.

I use all of the modules offered by SAP ERP, like MM, PP, QA, PM, and FICO.

SAP ERP is one of the most well-integrated solutions with all of the applications in my company, making it one of the most advantageous traits of the product.

It is easy to use for someone only if they are trained and have the skills to use it. For those having no experience with the solution, it's almost impossible for them to use it. There is a need and requirement for some training to be provided to those planning to use the solution. Presently, the solution's interface is not intuitive.

I have been working with SAP ERP for ten years. I am currently working on SAP ERP EHP 7. I am a customer of the solution.
