Easy to learn because it has quite a lot of documentation

Depending on your business scenarios, you can use it, but the initial knowledge of Java scripts, API integrations, and data management. The tool is not a complex platform if you know about the aforementioned areas. Adobe Campaign has features for creating templates, importing templates, and creating various workflows. We used these features to launch the emails, and everything else features. In our company, we integrated Adobe Campaign with Tealium Customer Data Hub. Tealium Customer Data Hub was useful for sending some information to Adobe Campaign for various email campaigns. Whatever data we received in Adobe Campaign was sent back to the Tealium Customer Data Hub for further segmentation. Adobe Campaign can be integrated with other various platforms as well. I think the tool is easy to learn because Adobe has quite a lot of documentation, which includes a broad range of documentation along with various training portals and training materials. The tool is not that complex. From the functionality perspective, it is a very good tool. The tool's UI seems a bit slow, and since it needs enhancement, I rate it a nine out of ten.

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."

"It is a stable solution."

"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."

"SAP CRM integrates well with SAP ERP which is useful."

"The product integrates with third-party tools easily."

"The stability is good."

"The platform is highly scalable."

"Its scalability is good."

"The user interface is excellent."

"SAP CRM has a good performance."

"The tool is easy to use."

Cons

"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."

"Adobe Campaign needs to improve the UI because it is a bit old. Sometimes, the platform is a bit slow."

"Recently, the price of SAP CRM has increased, which is one concern."

"SAP CRM should create a more user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI)."

"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 integration of SAP CRM with the SAP platform is relatively easier as compared to any other third-party product. If you go for any other third-party product, you will have a lot of challenges in terms of integration."

"It can be a bit more user friendly, to be honest. Sometimes there are too many apps options. It should offer better UX (user experience) to make it easier to navigate and easier to use."

"They have recently updated their user interface but they should continue to improve upon it in the future. Additionally, overall performance or speed of response times could be better."

"As SAP CRM is still in its pilot version in my company, and my team is still experimenting on it, there's little room for exploration, but its setup is not as straightforward, so this could be an area for improvement."

"Content management is one area where SAP CRM could use some work because we were seeking a CRM solution that could store BLOB data, like PDF and email data, which takes up a lot of space in the database. Recently, we migrated to a content server, but it would be nice if CRM had built-in BLOB data management because BLOB data is a challenge we've been dealing with since last year."

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 solution is expensive."

"There is a license required to use SAP CRM."

"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."

"SAP CRM is not suitable for smaller businesses because it is expensive. The larger businesses would be able to handle the cost."

"We pay for the license yearly."

"SAP CRM is an expensive product."

"As for the product licensing, we pay an annual fee. It's important to consider setup costs and licensing based on your organization's budget and needs."

"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for SAP CRM, which is expensive."
