Cons
"The initial setup could be made easier.""The solution's black box is not fast.""The cost is a bit too high.""The user interface could be improved.""The graphical user interface has room for improvement and can be more user-friendly.""The product could be more compatible with Linux and macOS, particularly when applying user configuration policies.""The scalability depends on how you have set it up.

"Due to our business, some setups were very complex.""We encountered stability issues, especially on external functionality around its RFP capabilities.""External portal functionality with suppliers and customers needs improvement.""The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly.""Our customers expect that a page will open within one second, and I doubt this will happen.

  • "This solution comes included with Windows Server."
  • "The price of the cloud system is a bit high."
  • "The price of Windows Server IIS is expensive. They have a large user base, and they charge a little bit too much."
  • "We purchased a Microsoft Windows license and the license for IIS came in the package."
  • "I think it's part of the Windows Server, so you won't have any other costs to add in order to use the IIS service."

  • "​SAP is not for every business. It depends on what is required. SAP is always going to be expensive​."
  • "Because India is so competitive in the IT world, people will start to move away from SAP's pricing because they have a market monopoly. Soon, they will start losing the monopoly part to open source and other things. I don't think their monopoly will run for more than three to four years because people are getting away from these monopolies."
  • "The cost of this solution is high."
