SAP ERP Reviews

I'm a solution manager helping customers to develop financial processes. 

I like SAP's premade workflows for various areas, such as supply chain, procurement, or finance. 

The user interface could be improved. For example, sometimes you're missing some data and can't complete a task. There should be some built-in support and suggestions on how to solve your problem. I would also like the interface to be optimized to work better with mobile devices like tablets and smartphones. 

SAP ERP is stable. 

It's not appropriate for smaller companies. For example, ECC 6.0 has a lot of modules that a small customer may not use.

SAP support is excellent. I've worked with them on many critical projects for large enterprises. SAP also has a strong network of partners who implement ERP for end customers.

SAP ERP is difficult to set up. You need to configure lots of things during the deployment. The deployment time depends on the company's size. It might take a couple of years to fully deploy SAP ERP for a multinational corporation. 

You need to undergo the initial setup and a few testing rounds. Some companies can do it in a year, but large enterprises have multiple systems to integrate. Smaller companies can do it in under a year. It takes time to deploy it across several departments, such as finance, logistics, etc.

SAP ERP is expensive compared to competing products. The general feedback from customers is that most people say it's expensive.

I rate SAP ERP nine out of 10. I would recommend SAP depending on your budget and requirements. It's one of the best ERP solutions for large enterprises, but I would suggest something else for a small or medium-sized company. 

SAP Controlling and Fund Management

SAP Controlling give the control of managerial cost in control for management especially accounting. It enables deep costing analysis, cost allocation model and drill down functionality. with Fund Management organization can embed budget control rules to control any budget commitment, consumption before its too late.

Its table and structure complexity is a love and hate situation. Although ABAP created SAP, it's costly to recruit and maintain ABAP.

I've used it for three years.

It's manageable.

No issues encountered.

Never encountered issues.

It's the best.

It's the best.

We've always been using SAP.

It was complex, as the company policy needs to evolves at the pace of system functionality and the design direction.

We used a vendor team who were 8/10.

It's around three years, and the ROI can be vague as we use only finance and accounting related module, along with MM. Basically, our ROI is derived from the amount of estimate savings we calculated, and the budget saved.

Look around at three or four vendors.

Microsoft Dynamics AX

If transformation is what you're looking for, then SAP is your answer. Keep in mind that you need to change yours, and others, mind set. At the end of the day, it's for the organization's future sake.

The SAP ERP is on a single-layer reporting process, and we use SAP ERP for output storing, algorithm and reporting purposes.

It is helpful for reporting processes, and we have to figure out the times we store that data and if we need any additions. So we use it to automate our PR processes.

It has a high cost.

We have been using this solution for almost two years, and it is deployed on-premises.

It is a stable solution.

It is scalable. We have about 15 companies using SAP ERP.

The initial setup was straightforward.

I do not have details about the price.

I rate this solution a nine out of ten.

All of our business transactions happen in ERP. 

All SAP solutions are quite costly. They could be cheaper. The license costs are pretty high. 

We have been using SAP ERP for more than a decade. 

SAP ERP is stable. 

SAP ERP is scalable. We have some five to ten thousand SAP ERP users. 

Their tech support is always good. 

We deployed in-house. Some 200 members of our technical team were involved. They were in roles like manager, engineer, admin, and support team member. 

I would recommend this solution. 

I'm the company manager and we are customers of SAP. 

Control and governance are the best features of SAP. We have good support as well and there is a big ecosystem around SAP where we can get technical support. 

SAP is always costlier than other products so I'd like to see the pricing improved for preferred customers. Integration could also be improved. 

I've been using this solution for 10 years. 

This solution is stable.

The solution is scalable. There are four plants in my area and about 100 people using SAP. There are many, many more users worldwide. 

We are satisfied with the technical support. 

We used JD Edwards before SAP and as a corporate move, all the plants went over to SAP and our department also moved eventually. The company chose a good product. 

The initial setup is somewhat difficult but with the kind of support we have it's not a problem. The installation or implementation is a tough thing for SAP, there are multiple factors which have to be taken into consideration.

For larger companies, I think SAP is the best solution we have in ERP.

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

Predominantly, we are using SAP as an ERP solution.

It's a good ERP system.

Agility is an area that needs to improve. The speed to build and the speed to deliver could be better.

I have been using this solution for two years.

It's a stable product.

This solution is scalable.

We are looking for different options to connect to SAP.

I would rate SAP ERP a seven out of ten.

We are using SAP ERP mostly for production and financials.

There should be better support provided to be able to migrate to S/4HANA easier.

I have been using SAP ERP for approximately three years.

The stability is SAP ERP is not good only because the version is old. They could work on improving the versions.

The scalability could be better, it is not simple to do.

We have approximately 300 users using this solution. We are not planning to increase usage.

We used Navision previously and then we moved to SAP ERP because of its larger scale and strategic direction from the management.

The initial setup of SAP ERP was complex and very rigid.

SAP ERP requires two people for maintenance and approximately 10 people for the implementation.

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

I would recommend others to use SAP S/4HANA because SAP ERP is out of date. It would be best to skip SAP ERP and go directly for SAP S/4HANA.

I rate SAP ERP a six out of ten.

It's for production planning, logistics, supply chain, and tasks. It is operations oriented with logistics planning and material creation.

Our company has been using the product for over ten years now.

The capacity planning, which is useful to see what has been planned and the time that is needed. It is also easy to shift plans or production planning. It provides one overview.

It needs to incorporate the new features from the SAP S/4HANA release, such as, utilizing data processes, which is quite nice. Also, SAP S/4HANA has a good visualization feature that should be added to this product.

The stability has been quite good. Since I have been working with it, there hasn't been much downtime. Most of the time, there has not been problems.

Check what features you need, which features the solution solves, and look at features are already in the product.

When selecting a vendor, look at the pricing, as well as the support and their knowledge.
