Jaemin Baek - PeerSpot reviewer
Has 360 degree customer view but needs to improve workflow
Because Salesforce is a cloud solution, sometimes we have issues with speed. We experience a lot of delays. The data queries are at times separated and do not match properly. To obtain insights from data, we need to map or match the datasets and define the relationships between them. However, in Salesforce it is very difficult to define relationships between datasets. They do not provide any customization features; they are all global/standard. Because the sales department needs many functions to deal with sales or government policies, like taxes, they cannot develop the features in OCE. As a result, we cannot provide Salesforce as a single solution. The workflow process is not complete. They need to achieve more knowledge and experience in this industry.
Shreyas  K M S - PeerSpot reviewer
It integrates well with our existing solutions, so we can analyze the data for analytics, forecasting and modeling
Setting up SAP CRM is straightforward. I rate it eight out of 10 for ease of setup. SAP provides all the tools and techniques were available from the vendor. However, the integration portion is a lot of work and requires some functional consultants. It takes some effort to customize the program and rewrite it to align with our business standards, but the initial implementation is straightforward. We didn't face any challenges here. Total deployment for this project took around eight or nine months, including development, testing, and validation. After deployment, the administration is fairly simple. We have to take care of the licensing part and forecast data growth for the next three or four months. We have the tools and people available for operations as well as vendor support. If we have complex issues, we can raise a ticket to the vendor and get it sorted.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I've found the customer 360 degree view to be valuable."
"The primary use case for us is lead creation and data management."
"SAP CRM is a scalable solution."
"From the bank perspective, it's user-friendly and simple to develop something specific for a certain customer. It allows customization for individual customers rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach."
"SAP CRM has a good performance."
"We like that this solution has made our whole accounting function paperless."
"We get very good support from SAP."
"The platform is highly scalable."
"One of the main things is that the reports are very customizable. It is very easy and user-friendly to customize the reports the way the user wants. They can see the reports as per their expectations and change them accordingly."
 

Cons

"Because Salesforce is a cloud solution, sometimes we have issues with speed. We experience a lot of delays."
"I think what needs to be improved is the solution for Brazil's organization."
"The integration of SAP CRM with the SAP platform is relatively easier as compared to any other third-party product. If you go for any other third-party product, you will have a lot of challenges in terms of integration."
"The navigation must be improved."
"There is a lot of missing data and data latency issues between the different modules of SAP CRM, which creates a lot of problems."
"What I see as a challenge against our competitor is that Salesforce comes with more flexibility, for enhancement purposes, whereas the SAP CRM Cloud is more robust and rigid. It's not flexible to implement any bespoke solution."
"It was not very stable. It was not a network problem because we were using tools that were not SAP. They were working well. But when I'm running the SAP, it's not working for us."
"Content management is one area where SAP CRM could use some work because we were seeking a CRM solution that could store BLOB data, like PDF and email data, which takes up a lot of space in the database. Recently, we migrated to a content server, but it would be nice if CRM had built-in BLOB data management because BLOB data is a challenge we've been dealing with since last year."
"SAP CRM should create a more user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OCE is less expensive than Veeva, for instance."
"The company has seen an increase in revenue."
"Its price is reasonable. As compared to other CRMs, this CRM is competitively priced. They have multiple flavors with different sets of functionality. Pricing is based on the flavor that suits your requirement. If you have more users, the cost will come down."
"There is a license required for the solution and most of my clients purchase an annual license."
"The licensing model for SAP CRM is customer-based."
"As for the product licensing, we pay an annual fee. It's important to consider setup costs and licensing based on your organization's budget and needs."
"SAP CRM is an expensive product."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for SAP CRM, which is expensive."
"The product is costly."

What do you like most about SAP CRM?
Getting the right information at the right time across different programs is important. These programs lack interaction between them. IPA is a good option to bring them together.
What needs improvement with SAP CRM?
One area for improvement is the security model, especially regarding records management retention and the audit and legal holds. Since we're in the middle of a cloud digital transformation, it's es...
