The features that are most valuable are auto-triggers for activities, an integrated portal, and automated student status changes. There is nothing that will help with standards-based grading.
* CampusPortal is in need of an update: This is coming later in 2017. * Clock hour programs work OK in CampusVue, but they are not setup as well as credit programs * Grading is centered around letter grades. There is nothing in CampusVue that will help with standards-based grading.

Long-term adaptation and evolution meets changing technology trends
SAP ERP is not really real-time. We use the HANA database which is supposed to be memory data in memory, but we are still not very happy. It is supposed to be real-time and come very quickly, but in reality, it still takes time to run. That is why we use BW of SAP, Business Objects, and now we have moved to the Analytic Cloud where we start using predictive AI. SAP recently implemented Databricks, and they started investing significantly in the analytic environment. SAP ERP has been left behind as they moved to S/4HANA with the HANA database. They restructured the whole table structure of SAP ERP, introduced simple finance, simple logistics, and moved HR to SuccessFactors. They have the BTP layer where they manage everything from integration to master data management. The challenge with SAP is that they move very fast to different products and buy different products. It requires significant investment and many skills to catch up because all of these have different sets of technology. The fundamental has changed differently. It is not monolithic anymore but different products under one name, SAP. You have to buy it model by model for additional models. Products such as SuccessFactors, Ariba for procure to pay, Concur for travel, and Facility Management use totally different technology. They try to integrate with each other, but it remains a challenge for SAP to make them have the same management, technology, and operational approach.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CampusNexus Student provides everything needed in an SIS."
"In summary, this is a good product but it is made by humans hands."
"The power of ABAP Development Tools is the main valuable feature in the SAP ECC system. Every couple of years SAP upgrades ABAP technology significantly, which facilitates developers' work."
"In every aspect, SAP is an enterprise solution that has a lot of customization and, as a hospital, it offers us tremendous help that supports our processes."
"SAP has the edge over other solutions in the sense that they have better production planning."
"ERP is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of SAP ERP is the integration. It can be seamlessly integrated across the board."
"SAP ERP is particularly strong in manufacturing, from production planning to plant maintenance, then Material Management itself, and managing warehouse management and inventory control."
"SAP is already working on improvements by doing annual releases with enhancements."
 

Cons

"CampusPortal is in need of an update: This is coming later in 2017."
"The solution is not 100% stable."
"SAP ERP could improve by integrating additional components such as digital signatures and barcoding."
"As far as I know, not only did not it help the organization to improve its processes, but also it did not shorten the length of processes, in fact it made the processes more longer than what it was, due to the low organizational and process maturity level (processes could not be the exact ERP processes, they need to be customized)."
"It could always be cheaper. There is no doubt about it."
"One thing that is lacking in ERP is a good user interface. It is currently very clumsy and complex."
"Customizations are a bit expensive."
"Could be more user friendly."
"We raised requests with SAP but the response was very poor and customers were totally fed up."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"SAP is quite expensive."
"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."
"Licensing can vary, but for educational institutions, there are often favorable conditions."
"The solution is expensive and is best-suited for large enterprises."
"SAP ERP is expensive."
"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."
"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."
