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.

A modular, easy-to-use solution that needs to improve support and include automation
There are one or two annoying things. For example, if you make a drop-down list of something, it doesn't automatically alphabetize the drop-down list. You have to manually go and drag items up and down and alphabetize them yourself. That's annoying. If you have five items in the drop-down list or if you have a hundred, it's just pathetic. It makes no sense that you have to do that because I've never seen it not work before in any other system that I've ever worked with. If you make a list of things, most solutions automatically put it in an alphabetized order. Or it'll put it in date order, but there is some order. It doesn't just go randomly in the order you create them. For example, I might load about 20 neighborhoods into a drop-down list, starting at "a" and ending at "z." But I might miss one of the "b's" and two of the "c's," so I add them, but they are added after the "z." Then I have to go to the bottom of the list, click on the one that starts with "b," and drag it all the way up to the "b's." That's just a pain in the butt.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"SAP is highly stable compared to competitors like Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics 365, as we haven't seen significant downtime in the last couple of years and it runs smoothly with disaster recovery made easy by the NetApp and SAP partnership, so the product works flawlessly."
"One of the main things is that the reports are very customizable. It is very easy and user-friendly to customize the reports the way the user wants. They can see the reports as per their expectations and change them accordingly."
"The architecture, the business functionality, and the features really help the current existing organization."
"From the bank perspective, it's user-friendly and simple to develop something specific for a certain customer. It allows customization for individual customers rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach."
"When we implemented this solution nine years ago it was the best product on the market."
"SAP CRM is a scalable solution."
"It provides innovative ideas for implementation."
"SAP CRM integrates well with SAP ERP which is useful."
"The fact that we can build our own modules on the solution is really quite attractive, and it's not overly complex."
"Very flexible and customizable; we appreciate being able to host it locally with direct access to the backend."
"The most valuable feature of Vtiger CRM is automation."
 

Cons

"For those who do not have SAP at all, it might be a difficult choice because you can get more or less the same functionality from Salesforce with a better UI."
"SAP CRM could improve by making the solution more current, it is out of date. There are no more updates for SAP CRM."
"The interface could be improved because sometimes it has lots of data to enter, and possibly 50% don't use it."
"In terms of stability, there are some latency issues."
"The product is very expensive."
"They could improve the product's analytics and reporting capabilities. Additionally, they could enhance its web interface speed."
"The solution needs more flexible customization, tender request, and they need to think about some of the localization aspects."
"SAP must provide a demo system for the customers."
"The charts and graphs available out of the box are pretty outdated, and you're a little limited in how you can present information on the dashboard without adding modules."
"The mobile design could improve in Vtiger CRM. It could be more user-friendly."
"If you make a drop-down list of something, it doesn't automatically alphabetize the drop-down list. You have to manually go and drag items up and down and alphabetize them yourself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As for the product licensing, we pay an annual fee. It's important to consider setup costs and licensing based on your organization's budget and needs."
"There is a license required for the solution and most of my clients purchase an annual license."
"SAP CRM is an expensive solution and is the most challenging aspect of the solution."
"The pricing from SAP is good but it takes time to realize the investment."
"Every user needs to have a license."
"They should reduce the price to target small businesses."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for SAP CRM, which is expensive."
"Its price is reasonable. As compared to other CRMs, this CRM is competitively priced. They have multiple flavors with different sets of functionality. Pricing is based on the flavor that suits your requirement. If you have more users, the cost will come down."
"The price doesn't change when you add users. It's a flat fee, and that's attractive."
"We are using the free open-source version of Vtiger CRM."
