The product is easy to use and provides consistent updates and upgrades

The vendor stopped supporting the solution on the Linux platform. We can only use it on Windows. It is very bad. I don't know why they discontinued support for Linux. Now we are supposed to use Microsoft SQL Server, which I don’t like very much. We are left with no options. The vendor must give users the option to use what they are comfortable with. Most of the functionalities are not available on the browser. We have to install the desktop client. It would be very good if the vendor could make all the functionalities available on the web browser version. We would not have to go around installing workstations. We could just provision it from the browser.

The amazing, robust framework with unlimited scalability earns its #1 status

The solution is not ready for the current e-commerce environment. Its was built for large enterprises who need to predictably optimize their human, material, and financial resources. ERP has evolved and businesses are changing. There are not many large corporations. Most are small enterprises with the capabilities of large enterprises through networking and platform integration. Some companies promote products but get things done with other enterprises as a network. Companies do not want to create new capacity but want to leverage existing capacity with innovative products. They do not want to spend resources on duplicating capacity or facilities. I do not think any ERP product is ready to support this environment so ERPs as a whole might end up being used for back-office functions only. It is not easy to evolve an ERP product because its intent is to integrate functions and processes within an organization. Whereas, in the new business model, processes are not limited to one's own enterprise but cut across different enterprises. There is no enterprise solution as this point in time for the current e-commerce environment so companies must integrate with many solutions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product provides consistent updates and upgrades."

"The technical support is very good."

"It provides one overview of the capacity planning."

"It is a comprehensive and robust solution. It can provide lots of functional features."

"The solution has made the most significant impact on our human resources function, specifically in HR operations and HR analytics. One feature of SAP ERP that I found most valuable is its use of codes for accessing specific functions."

"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."

"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."

"I like that SAP ERP is very robust and stable."

"This product is very scalable and easy to expand."

"It provides great visibility into the details of enterprise resource planning."

Cons

"The vendor stopped supporting the solution on the Linux platform."

"We're definitely looking at a new system because everything in this product needs improving."

"In previous generations, SAP was stable and the roadmap was very predictable, but currently it's very difficult."

"It is not easily integrated with outside products."

"I'm only working on the front end with ERP's user interface, which isn't very easy for end-users. It's an old-school interface, so it's often challenging to find what you need."

"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."

"It is not flexible for the users. SAP works in a specific way, and the users and the processes have to adapt to the way it works. It is hard to customize it to the level that we need for our work. It is not easy to get new extensions for process functions, modules, or activities."

"The product is less intuitive and cumbersome for certain tasks."

"The speed to build and the speed to deliver could be better."

"The initial setup is complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."

"Some components are available at an additional cost, depending on the type of contract that you have."

"SAP ERP is expensive."

"SAP is quite expensive."

"We pay annually for the use of this solution."

"It is less expensive than its competitors."

"The pricing is based on the license per user, which I think makes the solution a bit costly...Basically, the prices of the solution are high, and we don't have that much revenue."

"The on-premises licensing model comes with annual maintenance whereas the cloud-based licensing model is a yearly subscription. The tool’s pricing is normal and not expensive."

"There is an annual subscription for the use of SAP ERP."
