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."
"From a long-term perspective, I can say that the solution can offer a return on investment, but it may take around three to four years for our company to experience it."
"There are many interfaces, so you really can build satellites around it like with other SAP stuff or even third-party stuff."
"Heavy integration is available with all types of systems, and we use it."
"SAP ERP has created a paperless environment for us."
"Overall the solution is very good in the industry."
"It's a good solution as you get everything in one software."
"ERP is very stable."
"This is a robust and feature-rich solution."
 

Cons

"CampusPortal is in need of an update: This is coming later in 2017."
"The integration with others applications could be easier."
"It was not designed to service all industries."
"Reporting is why most companies need to acquire business intelligence add-on solutions, and when it comes to SAP ERP, they could improve the reporting graphical representation of the data."
"SAP ERP needs to consider simplifying a few areas within the tool. Compared to SAP ERP, other solutions in the market are much more easily configurable and understandable. SAP has a lot of complex features."
"User experience."
"It's difficult to code, the structured language is difficult and could be improved."
"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)."
"The user interface isn't that great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate SAP ERP's pricing a six or seven out of ten."
"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."
"The solution can cost approximately $1 million a year for maintenance for a small-size company and can grow from there. Approximately $1 million is needed for a good-size company."
"The solution is expensive and is best-suited for large enterprises."
"The product has high pricing."
"SAP ECC is not cheap but I consider it the best system for managing an organization's data and processes."
"The pricing is based on the license per user, which I think makes the solution a bit costly...Basically, the prices of the solution are high, and we don't have that much revenue."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of SAP ERP."
