Best suitable for small to medium companies and offers excellent technical support and training
The dashboard and reporting features of escala CRM have been beneficial because they are straightforward to use. Unlike other tools that try to do too much, escala focuses on simplicity, making it easier to train employees and adapt to our market needs. This simplicity is crucial for us, as extensive training can be expensive and time-consuming. The integration of Escala CRM with other tools is very good, particularly due to its use of APIs. Integrating with other applications is straightforward and standard practice, making it easy to connect with different tools as needed. Whether I would recommend escala CRM to others depends on the specific needs of the customer. If they require more than just CRM functionality, such as digital marketing capabilities, escala may not be a good fit. However, if they primarily need CRM features, it is worth considering based on its focus on small and medium-sized companies, excellent support, and training. Overall, I would rate escala CRM as 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

"The most valuable feature of Escala CRM is its excellent training and support."
"We get very good support from SAP."
"The most valuable feature is real-time data. You don't have to go to the finance team for information. On one screen, you can see if stock is available and check the customer's outstanding balance, and then you can process the order. SAP CRM's integration with other applications is easier."
"The solution's contract management and product hierarchy features of SAP CRM are the most beneficial for our business operations."
"The solution assists us in identifying what to send, what to offer, and what customers are buying."
"SAP CRM is very much customizable as per our company requirements, such as adding different kinds of products and making codes."
"The platform is highly scalable."
"The primary use case for us is lead creation and data management."
"The product integrates with third-party tools easily."
 

Cons

"It might not be suitable for larger enterprises."
"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."
"Previously, the SAP CRM used to use simple servers, but now SAP uses HANA. The problem with the HANA databases is their interoperability with other solutions. SAP CRM could improve by working better with other solutions."
"The solution needs more flexible customization, tender request, and they need to think about some of the localization aspects."
"The solution is slow."
"In terms of visibility of the data, there's a very limited set that we have access to and sometimes it's very difficult and not user-friendly to analyze from front end to back end. It's the biggest challenge, even if I'm working with an organization where we've implemented SAP."
"SAP CRM could improve by being easier to use and customer-friendly."
"SAP must provide a demo system for the customers."
"They could improve the product's analytics and reporting capabilities. Additionally, they could enhance its web interface speed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for SAP CRM, which is expensive."
"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."
"There is a license required for the solution and most of my clients purchase an annual license."
"Every user needs to have a license."
"SAP CRM costs approximately a couple of thousand a month."
"The licensing model for SAP CRM is customer-based."
"The product is costly."
"The company has seen an increase in revenue."
