MAMUKA KVANTALIANI - PeerSpot reviewer
Pronto Xi Systems Consultant at GUNNEBO AB
Has supported business operations through flexible customization and reliable reporting features
I find Pronto Xi quite robust, fast, and flexible in its use because we can set up any environment and customize it. It covers a wide range of functions, starting from basic finances such as accounts receivable, payable, down to service projects, manufacturing, plant maintenance, and all customer relationships, providing extensive functionality. We utilize Pronto Xi's customizable dashboards in our organization, and it is integrated with the Cognos BI system. These dashboards help us in gaining actionable insights and making informed decisions because they serve visualization purposes for higher-level reporting for top management and senior management. We use them for visualizations for senior management's everyday, weekly, or monthly catch-up with business performance. The advanced reporting capabilities of Pronto Xi improve decision-making because the users of the information understand where the business stands, how it performs, where the pitfalls are, and which branches of businesses are underperforming or doing well. As long as the basic underlying data is correct, they're excellent to use. Pronto Xi's strong emphasis on security and compliance is quite important for my organization because it is strict with multi-layered access and complex password systems. These aspects influence my trust in the platform because we haven't had any problems with Pronto Xi. While there were issues with other systems, Pronto Xi has been reliable, and I would rate my trust level at nine out of ten. The scalability of Pronto Xi is good as my business grows, both in terms of functionality and third-party applications integration.

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.

Pros

"I find Pronto Xi quite robust, fast, and flexible in its use because we can set up any environment and customize it, and it covers a wide range of functions, starting from basic finances such as accounts receivable, payable, down to service projects, manufacturing, plant maintenance, and all customer relationships, providing extensive functionality."
"Pronto Xi is very user-friendly, and anyone can operate it without difficulty, unlike SAP or AS/400."
"The best thing that SAP ERP has is the extensive coverage of processes for every field and business unit such as procurement, inventory, financials, asset management, plant maintenance, and production. We can cover up to 99.9% processes of our organization, which is the best thing about this solution. It also has a very good capability to integrate with other applications. The security and authorization level of SAP ERP is very high. No other solution can match this level."
"The system's reliability has supported our day-to-day operations effectively without significant interruptions."
"The most valuable feature of SAP ERP is the financial module, pre-configured packages, and plenty of features. The solution is updating and adding new features that are helpful."
"I like SAP's premade workflows for various areas, such as supply chain, procurement, or finance."
"It provides great visibility into the details of enterprise resource planning."
"It is easier to migrate to SAP ERP from a legacy system. We have different products for data services, and it is easier to migrate to SAP ERP as compared to other solutions. Stability is one of the main features of SAP. What makes SAP ERP better than others is that SAP has taken into consideration the business processes of different industries, such as manufacturing. They have done the research, and they know what are the best practices. They have already implemented these best practices in SAP ERP, which are readily available for a client. Clients can also customize it based on their individual needs."
"The solution is very mature."
"Everyone who uses SAP ERP has benefited from the functionality."
 

Cons

"There are a lot of things to be developed in Pronto Xi. I believe we need spool files, better control of inventory levels, and improved distribution capabilities."
"The areas of Pronto Xi that could be improved include its appearance, which is quite outdated, as it does not use modern visualization means of its functionality, and it appears to be from the late 90s."
"SAP is not making a big effort to make it easy to integrate solutions from other vendors. It's not easy at all... Integration is what they can do better."
"It was not designed to service all industries."
"The problem with SAP is that whenever there is a modification, or if a new field needs to be added, they charge tens of thousands, hundreds, or even two hundred thousand dollars. That is not anything in which I am really interested. For instance, consider a single-use case. I have to enter the root causes for a certain operation or failure. That option does not exist anywhere in SAP, not in manufacturing, not in logistics, not in anything. It is completely missing. The root cause analysis is very common across industries, yet SAP does not offer this option. A line field or a metaparticle, for example, was delayed. If you have the choice to input the warehouse operator or if the person who submitted the document has the opportunity to enter, this has been postponed for N, X, Y, or Z reasons."
"My thoughts about SAP ERP's functionality for human capital management are not clear and not positive, as I have not researched this area extensively."
"The initial setup of SAP ERP is complex and it took a lot of time."
"It should be less complex. It should also have better integration capability. I am using the ACC version, and in this version, the integration and the communication are very difficult and complicated."
"It is not flexible for the users. SAP works in a specific way, and the users and the processes have to adapt to the way it works. It is hard to customize it to the level that we need for our work. It is not easy to get new extensions for process functions, modules, or activities."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate SAP ERP's pricing a six or seven out of ten."
"SAP ECC is not cheap but I consider it the best system for managing an organization's data and processes."
"There is a license needed to use this solution."
"The price of SAP ERP is high, but it is worth the money. The maintenance and support can be expensive. There should be a different price model for businesses that are not as large to be able to afford it."
"The solution is expensive so I rate cost a five out of ten."
"The licensing costs are slightly on the higher side. They need to make it more competitive."
"SAP ERP is an expensive tool."
"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. SAP ERP is a costly tool."
