VP of Ecommerce & Information Systems at Four Seasons General Merchandise

Offers extensive features for efficient operations in small to midsize businesses

The solution is very good. However, for very small companies, maybe a cloud service is better. Other software like QuickBooks may work well if you do not have many employees and require simple invoicing and inventory. This software, though, is a bit more advanced compared to QuickBooks, offering flexibility, multi-user capability, and options for application development. It connects directly to the database for reporting or external systems, which is beneficial for companies needing more advanced features. However, if I need a very complex system, Sage might not be suitable. Overall, I would rate this product an eight out of ten.

Head of IT / ERP System at Innerio Heat Exchanger GmbH

Provides full integration and automates workflows

The best feature of SAP ERP is the full integration. Each model in the SAP system works with the same data. You have only one single point of truth, considering the data. You can automate many things in SAP, like workflows and some APIs to send and receive EDI (electronic data interchange) documents from our customers and suppliers.

Cons

"While the software may not be very expensive, it lacks many advanced features found in other software."

"We're definitely looking at a new system because everything in this product needs improving."

"While the software may not be very expensive, it lacks many advanced features found in other software."

"The vendor stopped supporting the solution on the Linux platform."

"It could be more flexible, and the company should be able to adapt the system. Not the other way around. It's very rigid and difficult to change. Reporting could also be better."

"The user interface can be more intuitive and user-friendly by having it be more menu-driven, this would be a large benefit."

"In the next release, I would like to see more technical integration for directly designed solutions on behalf of the selling process so that you can design solutions and not have to use ten or more other tools to get the solution for selling."

"They need to improve a few processes, including transformation, intelligence, governance, modeling, etc."

"It is on the expensive side."

"Could be more user friendly."

"The product is less intuitive and cumbersome for certain tasks."

"Sometimes the cost is not reasonable, such as in the case of budgeting."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The licensing costs are slightly on the higher side. They need to make it more competitive."

"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."

"When we talk about pricing it is expensive. On a scale of one to ten, it would rank a two. There are no additional fees but the user licenses are high."

"It could always be cheaper. They don't have a very easy model of licensing, but large entities would get the upper hand in negotiating the license."

"The on-premises licensing model comes with annual maintenance whereas the cloud-based licensing model is a yearly subscription. The tool’s pricing is normal and not expensive."

"I rate SAP ERP's pricing a six or seven out of ten."

"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."

"SAP ERP is expensive."
