Comprehensive, easy to use, and many tutorials are available to help learn and perfect your techniques
The size of the software is large when installed and would be ideal if it would be smaller for computers with limited hard drive space. However, this is needed for all the available tools and abilities the full suite offers. Lastly, it would be great to have more preset brushes in Photoshop and some of the other products. It is always fun playing around with them but I am happy with the dozens they already have. With everything considered, it is hard to find faults with such a good product. Adobe has a lot of different but similar software products that can be confusing to understand which one to use and for what task. Not everyone has the ability to use every piece of their software to determine what is best for their needs. Allowing for trial versions would be a great way around this.

Has improved mobile access for field teams and reduced dependency on manual data entry
The analytics and reporting capabilities in SAP mobile systems have helped me understand my mobile strategy better because we don't have wider reporting capabilities within mobile services. There is some reporting functionality, which I would classify as very basic, just to indicate how many devices are being connected, but it's not that comprehensive in terms of reporting.I would suggest improving the reporting by having more details around connection times. I think it is good, and I'm happy with what it is right now. Apart from that, if integrating to third-party systems can be made easier, this can be made into an app which can connect not just to SAP systems, but also to any third-party systems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The suite is one of the most widely used in the world and because of this, there are plenty of tutorials on how to do almost anything."
"With mobile services, they just carry the mobile phone with them, do it straight on the device, and it updates the SAP system, saving quite a lot of time for the end users."
"It's not that difficult to set up."
"If we work with the mobile extension of the ERP platform, we save time."
"Both platforms, the SAP Mobile Platform, and SAP, are highly valuable for our company because they facilitate integration, which can be expensive. It's very convenient to connect and create billing accounts through the SAP Mobile Platform."
"Two of the very fascinating features that make SAP Mobile Platform stand out from other platforms are its offline capability and integration capability."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The initial setup is not overly complex."
"One valuable feature of SAP Mobile Platform is its enterprise-grade standard and maintained APIs, available out of the box for easy integration with various systems."
 

Cons

"The size of the software is large when installed and would be ideal if it would be smaller for computers with limited hard drive space."
"The toolkit to develop front end applications, especially native applications, is not that good."
"One drawback is that SAP Mobile Platform apps are only available through the browser, making offline capability more challenging to implement."
"We don't have wider reporting capabilities within mobile services. There is some reporting functionality, which I would classify as very basic, just to indicate how many devices are being connected, but it's not that comprehensive in terms of reporting."
"The cost of the SAP Mobile Platform is high, and there is room for improvement in its pricing."
"The tool is not easy or simple to integrate with other infrastructures."
"SAP has announced that they'll be ending the support on the SAP platform."
"If it was low code or no code it would be ideal."
"The licensing model is a bit dated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product could be a bit cheaper to attract younger audiences but on the other hand, you do get a full professional package to create to your mind's content."
"The cost of SAP is extremely high, and it's not affordable for everyone."
"The tool is expensive. I rate the tool's price as an eight or nine out of ten."
"If you already paying for an SAP license and have SAP products that you are using, the price for SAP Mobile Platform is negligible."
