Cons
"Could be more user friendly.""Most of the documentation is online, however, there are some gaps there. The product documentation still refers back to the 2012 Server. We're pretty much in 2022. There's a ten-year gap there.""The platform performance and responsiveness need improvement. It still demands high computing resources.""The solution’s pricing could be improved.""Something super important that we need is this integration via Intune Configuration Manager.""System Center hasn't updated to keep up with the industry. It needs improvements in the user interface, ease of use, and overall product functionality, particularly the cloud-monitoring features. It needs more capabilities to monitor AWS and Azure infrastructure.""In Microsoft System Center, it is difficult to follow the steps to create dataflows at times.""Less server consumption would help, as would better, more flexible reports."

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

  • "On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."

  • "​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."
