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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are many features of the solution that are quite useful. For us, the most valuable aspect may be visibility."

"Workflow functionality and internal portal capabilities are the most important features."

"They integrated it with the SAP router."

"From the use of this solution, we have been able to establish better processes and have greater management of our company."

"Internal workflow approval around ESS and MSS leave days, capex approval as well as internal communication to the business have improved the way my organization functions."

Cons

"The solution could improve its user interface."

"Due to our business, some setups were very complex."

"Our customers expect that a page will open within one second, and I doubt this will happen. Also, opening documentation takes time. Fixing this will help the customer and help to meet their expectations."

"The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly."

"External portal functionality with suppliers and customers needs improvement."

"We encountered stability issues, especially on external functionality around its RFP capabilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"SAP is not for every business. It depends on what is required. SAP is always going to be expensive."

"The cost of this solution is high."

"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."
