The product is stable, it has a lot of features, and the user interface is excellent
SAP C4C is very simple. We used it for a simple module, like lead and opportunity. The integration capabilities on the cloud are a bit rigid. It is not flexible. When people visit websites, we take the cookies, try to create leads and communicate with them. Organizations that want to buy the product must consider their return on investment and why they need SAP. They must consider why they cannot use any other product. If the business process is complex and we need good integration, we can choose SAP. The solution is complex for businesses where people place orders and make payments. We will have to integrate the solution with a data warehouse for the communication to go in and out. I rate the product a five out of ten for such a scenario. If an organization only does sales and marketing, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
Valdi Venter - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Its scalability is good."
"The user interface is excellent."
"The solution assists us in identifying what to send, what to offer, and what customers are buying."
"I have found the most valuable feature of the SAP CRM system is its ability to integrate with other modules. SAP CRM is all about integrating with other modules. For example, SuccessFactors is their learning management. This is one use case that SAP CRM themselves use. Their lead generation versus their sales from their educational services. You can instantly receive insight into how many leads have been generated and how much it turned into real business or revenue for them. I was told in one of the seminars that the data transfer from the lead generation to sales is only 24 hours in SAP CRM."
"I have found the sales reporting feature specifically useful as it provides reporting and visualization which helps in decision-making. I use this to understand where to improve, which in-turn, helps generate sales."
"The primary use case for us is lead creation and data management."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most important factor for recommending SAP CRM is its integration with the core SAP platform. Globally, most enterprises are using SAP as an ERP platform to manage their key business functions. SAP CRM has out-of-the-box integration with the core SAP platform. You can integrate your pre-sales and post-sales into the single platform on the SAP CRM very easily, and you can extend that CRM to your customers who can actually see what is happening to their orders—such as whether it is dispatched or not dispatched or at what stage it is—simply by logging onto the CRM platform."
"The fact that we can build our own modules on the solution is really quite attractive, and it's not overly complex."
"The most valuable feature of Vtiger CRM is automation."
 

Cons

"The solution needs more flexible customization, tender request, and they need to think about some of the localization aspects."
"SAP CRM could improve by making the solution more current, it is out of date. There are no more updates for SAP CRM."
"Our users are using it primarily from their laptop browser and very few are using it on their mobile because the mobile is not that user-friendly."
"SAP must provide a demo system for the customers."
"Recently, the price of SAP CRM has increased, which is one concern."
"They should improve the design to make it more appealing to users."
"I think what needs to be improved is the solution for Brazil's organization."
"In the future, machine learning and artificial intelligence functionality need to be included."
"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

"There is a license required to use SAP CRM."
"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."
"From the maintenance perspective, SAP CRM is quite expensive compared to cloud services because the current solution they're using is managed by us and we are hosting it on servers. There is the cost of hosting, and managing servers and applications. The overhead is substantial, but this solution is a legacy system. It will take some time for the customer to migrate out of it."
"The solution is expensive."
"Every user needs to have a license."
"The product is expensive."
"SAP CRM offers a free trial for anyone wanting to test the product before purchasing it."
"The product is costly."
"We are using the free open-source version of Vtiger CRM."
"The price doesn't change when you add users. It's a flat fee, and that's attractive."
