Though it is good for the analytics part, it needs to be made less complex for users
The problems we faced with Adobe Campaigns in my company stemmed from the fact that it was very complex software. In my company, it did not allow us to expose APIs to do the stuff we require in our company. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the product.

Customization and automation drive effective user training and insights sharing
Recently, the price of SAP CRM has increased, which is one concern. Another issue is that sometimes we experience slow performance. Reports in SAP CRM itself can become very slow. Other than that, it is a very good CRM system. I am happy with SAP CRM because whenever we have requirements for changes or customization as per our needs, we get them, and the downtime is minimal. We are getting very good support from the incident team and the in-house support team who are responsible for customization. Some customer centers have moved to Salesforce, but I don't have any experience with Salesforce to make a comparison.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Analytics was a good part of Adobe Campaign."
"The tool helps store and manage our data. I don't need to be a pro in SQL, but I can still run queries and get the exact data I want. Some workflows help me get data from any table and send it to any platform without expert SQL knowledge. I can still export complicated data anywhere."
"It is a stable solution."
"We recommend SAP because we have experience with it on a global level."
"SAP CRM integrates well with SAP ERP which is useful."
"The most important factor for recommending SAP CRM is its integration with the core SAP platform. Globally, most enterprises are using SAP as an ERP platform to manage their key business functions. SAP CRM has out-of-the-box integration with the core SAP platform. You can integrate your pre-sales and post-sales into the single platform on the SAP CRM very easily, and you can extend that CRM to your customers who can actually see what is happening to their orders—such as whether it is dispatched or not dispatched or at what stage it is—simply by logging onto the CRM platform."
"The initial setup of SAP CRM was simple."
"SAP CRM has a good performance."
"The most valuable feature is real-time data. You don't have to go to the finance team for information. On one screen, you can see if stock is available and check the customer's outstanding balance, and then you can process the order. SAP CRM's integration with other applications is easier."
"SAP CRM has improved our sales activities by providing accurate information about the customers which assists the sales team to close deals."
"SAP is highly stable compared to competitors like Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics 365, as we haven't seen significant downtime in the last couple of years and it runs smoothly with disaster recovery made easy by the NetApp and SAP partnership, so the product works flawlessly."
 

Cons

"Adobe Campaign needs to improve the UI because it is a bit old. Sometimes, the platform is a bit slow."
"The problems we faced with Adobe Campaigns in my company stemmed from the fact that it was very complex software."
"The dashboard is perfect. The UI could be more user-friendly because the buttons are pretty small. Only someone who knows where to find them will easily locate them. New users might have difficulty finding options. Since I've been working with it for a while, I don't have that problem."
"It doesn't provide as much functionality as its competitors."
"There could be some specific configurable options on the UI level to improve visibility."
"They should improve the design to make it more appealing to users."
"SAP CRM is an expensive solution and is the most challenging aspect of the solution."
"This will happen in the C4C, which needs to be improved, because we see many bugs and error messages, even if the inputs are okay."
"CRM is costlier than its competitors."
"The solution is slow."
"SAP CRM could improve by making the solution more current, it is out of date. There are no more updates for SAP CRM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheaper than Salesforce. It is useful for small banks that want to trigger emails."
"It will be a bit expensive because it is an Adobe product."
"SAP CRM is an expensive solution and is the most challenging aspect of the solution."
"The licensing model for SAP CRM is customer-based."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for SAP CRM, which is expensive."
"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."
"The product is costly."
"SAP CRM costs approximately a couple of thousand a month."
"The pricing from SAP is good but it takes time to realize the investment."
"There is a license required for the solution and most of my clients purchase an annual license."
