What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for SAP ERP?

The pricing of SAP ERP is extremely high and often seen as unreasonable. An SLA agreement on maintenance is required, and it constitutes an annual expenditure. The licenses must be bought in bulk, which presents additional challenges, making the pricing not very friendly.

SAP ERP is an expensive tool. On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten.

For other organizations considering SAP ERP, it's essential to be aware of the setup costs, which can be substantial. Licensing can vary, but for educational institutions, there are often favorable conditions. It's important to thoroughly evaluate the total cost of ownership, including future licensing fees.

It is on the expensive side.

SAP is quite expensive. It's a premium system. The other ERP systems are either similarly priced or cheaper. We pay a quarterly license fee for the product.

I rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap or affordable, and ten is really expensive. The solution is expensive.

The price of SAP ERP is much higher when compared to the other products in the market. My company makes early payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product. There are no additional costs apart from the charges paid toward the subscription-based license offered by SAP.

I rate SAP ERP's pricing a six or seven out of ten.

SAP is now the cheaper option, but if you compare pricing and the scope of the solution, SAP is the best option in terms of pricing because the scope is more comprehensive than other cloud solutions.

The solution is less expensive than its competitors. But it is costly for ERP services.

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 another technical team that is responsible for the licenses and the number of users. I don't directly handle pricing.

It was expensive. I rate SAP ERP about three out of 10 for affordability. This software is designed to meet the individual needs of each company.

I do not have details about the price.

The solution is expensive so I rate cost a five out of ten.

There is a license needed to use this solution.

From my perspective, when you deploy it, the SAP instantly comes with several users and a pre-given user license. Each additional user added charges differently, and additional license fees are applied. Regarding HANA, there is a split in finance core asset management, inventory management, and supply chain, and they have buckets with the ERP on the previous version. There can also be add-ons. However, the standard things required by the business must be structured together and not charged as stand-alone as they are now with the HANA cloud versions. Currently, the estimate for the license per user is between 20,000 to 40,000 USD. Although I am unsure of the exact number it costs in that range, every time I request a new user, I have to justify the need to my company because they claim it falls in that range per user license.

The solution is quite expensive but for an organization the size of ours, I think it's worthwhile because of the information that goes into it and what it provides.

It could always be cheaper. They don't have a very easy model of licensing, but large entities would get the upper hand in negotiating the license.

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

This solution was initially costly until we moved to internal consulting which brought the overall cost of ownership and maintenance down.

I don't know the price, but I know its licensing is on a yearly basis.

The solution can cost approximately $1 million a year for maintenance for a small-size company and can grow from there. Approximately $1 million is needed for a good-size company.

We pay annually for the use of this solution.

It's definitely not the cheapest system to license and run. It could be cheaper. Typically, they offer yearly licensing agreements.

The pricing is very high. For enterprise-level organizations this may be okay, however, for smaller companies, it's likely not suitable. What happens is that if small companies implement it, the maintenance cost is very high for this kind of ERP. It's a problem for those companies who want to implement ERP, and they find implementation cost is higher and the license cost is extremely high. The maintenance cost is very high as well.

When you have a solution that is stable, reliable, and has a high performance as this solution, the price is going to be expensive. However, when you evaluate the service you are paying for the cost is quite reasonable for this solution.

SAP ERP is expensive.

The pricing is modular. You are charged according to the business process you want to take advantage of. However, it's a bit better than Oracle. For example, if I am using Oracle's finance and manufacturing modules, I need two licenses, however, in SAP, we only need one license that captures all processes we're using. There are no additional costs beyond the central licensing.

The licensing costs are slightly on the higher side. They need to make it more competitive.

SAP is more expensive than some of its competitors.

I would say that the price is competitive. Some components are available at an additional cost, depending on the type of contract that you have.

The costs are high in terms of licensing. It will be too expensive for many companies if they are considering using this solution.

There are licensing costs.

The pricing of the solution could be a bit lower. It's on the more expensive side, as far as solutions go.

This is a costly product.
