Integration enhances efficiency with good ERP Fusion Console that helps with centralization
When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher. I experience timeouts, which Oracle needs to improve. There have been many service requests around this, particularly last year. Although progress has been made, performance is still a concern for me. When dealing with bulk data uploads via a BDI process, some records occasionally fail, requiring me to debug and reprocess them. Enhanced performance is something that I would be interested in.
GodfreyNoel - PeerSpot reviewer
Excellent user experience with ease of use and reliable technical support
When SAP CRM does the maintenance, it can take a long time, which can impact business continuity because we have to wait for the maintenance team to finish their work. Maybe if SAP could establish how you can access the tool using a cloud-based environment that would be virtualization, that would be better.

"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."
"SAP is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more AI usage, enhanced personalization capabilities, and simpler integration capabilities."
"The dependency on the dollar makes these products more costly during disruptions in currency parity, especially in countries like Pakistan."

"I would like to see more AI usage, enhanced personalization capabilities, and simpler integration capabilities."
"Some features that require improvement include the location functionality and certain aspects of the CRM."

"They could improve the product's analytics and reporting capabilities. Additionally, they could enhance its web interface speed."
"We would like the coding system within this solution to be more straightforward when carrying out general entry tasks."
"The solution needs more flexible customization, tender request, and they need to think about some of the localization aspects."
"SAP CRM could improve by being easier to use and customer-friendly."
"There is a lot of missing data and data latency issues between the different modules of SAP CRM, which creates a lot of problems."
"In the future, machine learning and artificial intelligence functionality need to be included."
"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."
"They should improve the design to make it more appealing to users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are on the higher end and I rate them an eight out of ten."
"Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
"There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."
"This is definitely an expensive product compared to others on the market."
"The product has average pricing."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."
"Oracle's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."
"There is a license required for the solution and most of my clients purchase an annual license."
"The pricing from SAP is good but it takes time to realize the investment."
"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."
"There is a license required to use SAP CRM."
"SAP CRM is not suitable for smaller businesses because it is expensive. The larger businesses would be able to handle the cost."
"The licensing model for SAP CRM is customer-based."
"From the maintenance perspective, SAP CRM is quite expensive compared to cloud services because the current solution they're using is managed by us and we are hosting it on servers. There is the cost of hosting, and managing servers and applications. The overhead is substantial, but this solution is a legacy system. It will take some time for the customer to migrate out of it."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for SAP CRM, which is expensive."
