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

"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"We like that this solution has made our whole accounting function paperless."
"Overall productivity improved by more than 50%."
"We are using the HANA Z database for CRM, which enhances the products we are currently using by making the system more efficient. Everything is connected to CRM, so we can use the data for analytics, sales forecasting, and data modeling."
"The stability is good."
"The most valuable feature is lead management and integration."
"SAP CRM has a good performance."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution assists us in identifying what to send, what to offer, and what customers are buying."
 

Cons

"The problems we faced with Adobe Campaigns in my company stemmed from the fact that it was very complex software."
"Adobe Campaign needs to improve the UI because it is a bit old. Sometimes, the platform is a bit slow."
"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."
"In the future, machine learning and artificial intelligence functionality need to be included."
"The implementation and integrations could be better. After we went into the production environment, we had some issues."
"One area for improvement is the security model, especially regarding records management retention and the audit and legal holds."
"There are quite a lot of missing parts in SAP CRM, which is why we do a lot of customization. Not everything is there, and some things need custom coding to cater to specific needs. It is not a plug-and-play solution with standard features, and we have to customize quite a lot."
"The interface could be improved."
"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."
"SAP CRM could improve in the area of user-friendliness. It would help if you had an engineer to do the administration. The migration is complex when moving from the old version to the latest version."
"For those who do not have SAP at all, it might be a difficult choice because you can get more or less the same functionality from Salesforce with a better UI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It will be a bit expensive because it is an Adobe product."
"The solution is cheaper than Salesforce. It is useful for small banks that want to trigger emails."
"The product is costly."
"There is a license required to use SAP CRM."
"There is a license required for the solution and most of my clients purchase an annual license."
"The solution is expensive."
"The company has seen an increase in revenue."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
