Architecte SAP & Infrastructure at Teamwork

Good stability and good visibility but requires a better user interface

We're an SAP partner. We do also deploy some clients to the cloud, but 95% of the work we do with the solution is on-premises. I'd rate the solution six out of ten. I'm an architect, so I don't know enough about the implementation side to really be able to share any relevant first-hand experience in regards to setting the solution up.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The cost of this solution is high."

"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."
