Efficiently resolves customers queries and highly stable solution
Pros and Cons
  • "SAP CRM's most valuable at a branch level."

    What is our primary use case?

    SAP CRM is good so far. It is quick and efficient. I primarily use it for managing customer queries and internal tasks.

    What is most valuable?

    SAP CRM's most valuable at a branch level. It is the most efficient for us. Also, customer queries are important for us to resolve on time. They are logged into CRM and assigned to different teams. So it's all working well for that.

    What needs improvement?

    There's always room for improvement to make the system better. Maybe SAP CRM can surprise us with something new. We would love to see more new features. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I been working with SAP CRM for over three years now. Although, we haven't done an upgrade yet.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. Around 3000 users are currently using this solution. Everyone from IT to front-end users uses the solution in our organization. 

    How are customer service and support?

    Customer service and support are good.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    How was the initial setup?

    I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy.

    The deployment takes a few hours. 

    What about the implementation team?


    What other advice do I have?

    I would definitely recommend using SAP CRM because it is an assistant that improves efficiency and responsiveness. Overall, I would rate the solution ten out of ten.

    Great task and opportunity features with a helpful dashboard
    Pros and Cons
    • "Once the lead is matured, you can convert it into an opportunity and you can track it by the opportunity based on the product segment."
    • "When features do get added, we would like the product to notify us in a timely way."

    What is our primary use case?

    CRM is used as a partner or a companion for a person who is handling account management. We can get the complete data analysis in terms of customer behavior for buying any product. Once we feed in the data, we can analyze the data and we can get further in the decision-making process.

    How has it helped my organization?

    I have increased my efficiency and my oral productivity has also improved. If we are manually managing the data somewhere, there are chances that we are missing some data, or we are not able to use some critically important information or some leads that can give us some more sales volume. However, with a CRM, you have a clear, defined pattern of entering the data and you can easily access the data at any time when you request. It really helps me to align my actions toward growth.

    Overall productivity improved by more than 50%. I really get increased media volume - twice the current volume. I'm able to use all processes more efficiently. It is really helping my organization to grow more. You can recreate any dashboard report. You can analyze the report on a timely basis and you can also reuse the projects. Projects are the pipelines for our business. We’ve now got enhanced business thanks to pipeline management.

    What is most valuable?

    There are many very valuable features. The lead management is great. Once you enter the prospect details, you can create a lead. After creating the lead, you can define whether it can be qualified as an opportunity or not, or it can be rejected based on the volume.

    I like the opportunity management. Once the lead is matured, you can convert it into an opportunity and you can track it by the opportunity based on the product segment.

    You can monitor your visits. For example, if a customer visits, you can easily put in the data. You can plan your visit and you can plan your schedule.

    The dashboard feature is nice. You can filter. You can select your requirements based on the industry, for example. We can also prepare a report and use it for the sales agenda from the dashboard.

    I am a fan of task management. So what is the thing that, for example, there is a cross-functional team responsible for a particular customer. Being a frontline key account manager, I get the lead and assign some products and tasks to my team. Task management helps us to use our effort in a strategic direction that is very productive. It has really helped me to monitor my work and also helped me to help the customer in a better way.

    What needs improvement?

    Frankly speaking, for more than seven and a half years, I haven't found any area for improvement. The design is user-friendly. The interface is good. Any person needs only basic training and we can explore the features easily. That's the only requirement. The only improvement could be if the developer team could continue to make good efforts to enhance the efficiency of a salesperson.

    When features do get added, we would like the product to notify us in a timely way. The faster we get the information, the more quickly we can leverage the update. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I’ve been using the solution since 2015 - more than seven years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The stability is very good. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    As far as scalability is concerned, it has a fair degree of scalability. With the way the features are organized and the way the product is performing, we can scale to the next level of supply chain and planning also. From sales to supply chain and planning, all three features we can integrate into the same software. Currently, we are using the RFP model in which any inquiry is entered into the C4C. It is likely rooted in to supply chain. The supply chain is working on the online portal only in the CRM. That is integrating other functions as well.

    How are customer service and support?

    This product is really a companion for a salesperson who can deploy and get the maximum advantage out of the features. The product is always there to deliver the results. 

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I had the experience of using two CRMs. Both were company-specific. One was this solution, SAP CRM. The second was C4C, Cloud for Customer. The structure is more or less the same. They really help me to enhance my efficiency. And I really appreciate the developer team who has developed this wonderful software.

    The reason for us using SAP is we are also using the PRP model of SAP. With SAP, we had previous experience. As a loyal customer, we didn't go to any competition and decided to keep our trust in SAP, as it has delivered results for us. As a loyal customer, we didn't try to switch to any other brand.

    How was the initial setup?

    In terms of deployment, there was an initial training organized by the supplier. Then we had regular interactions with the mentorship training team who was directly involved with the deployment. The overall experience of deployment was satisfactory. Everything was working smoothly and I appreciate the step-by-step approach, which helped us to deploy this software more efficiently.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The pricing is competitive and it is delivering results. From a pricing point of view, we are satisfied. I don't have any comments on if it is too high or low. We are frequently renewing the contract. Therefore, from a pricing point of view, we have been okay with it.

    What other advice do I have?

    We are a customer and end-user.

    I have very good experience with SAP CRM. It is a globally acceptable product.

    I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Public Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

    We use the product for quotation creation, sales management, master data management, and service management.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup process has moderate complexity. We can deploy it on the cloud within a week if we have the code.

    What was our ROI?

    The ROI for the product depends on the account one wants to purchase, considering the budget.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    Pros and Cons
    • "SAP CRM is very fast, providing accurate information and good results."

    We use SAP CRM for the material's incoming and outgoing delivery.

    SAP CRM is very fast, providing accurate information and good results.

    We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for SAP CRM, which is expensive.

    What other advice do I have?

    Gives you more efficiency and time to improve in other areas
    Pros and Cons
    • "Getting the right information at the right time across different programs is important. These programs lack interaction between them. IPA is a good option to bring them together."

      What is our primary use case?

      The main focus is  human resources. When employees start their jobs, we need to handle legal requirements, especially in Turkey. Therefore, we primarily develop processes for SAP integration and sometimes use MS Office programs like Excel. Additionally, if our clients use CRM systems, we ensure seamless integration.

      How has it helped my organization?

      Using IPA in this process gives you more efficiency and time to improve in other areas. For example, Vendors, SAP managers, or other employees in the sales department often interact with customers physically. While they are out all day, inputting information about potential customers into the CRM is challenging. They might use WhatsApp or Excel while traveling to quickly input this information. Then, the process begins with RPA to quickly transfer the data into the CRM. Moreover, if they have different CRM options, such as registering potential customers, they can initiate other sales strategy processes.

      What is most valuable?

      Getting the right information at the right time across different programs is important. These programs lack interaction between them. IPA is a good option to bring them together.

      What needs improvement?

      If we integrate the database, processes can run much faster than usual. This could potentially improve SAP timing. Also, incorporating additional features like enhanced AI could be beneficial.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      I have been using SAP CRM for more than three years.

      What do I think about the stability of the solution?

      The solution is stable.

      I rate the solution's stability an eight out of ten.

      What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

      I rate the solution's scalability an eight out of ten.

      How are customer service and support?

      Customer support is pretty good.

      How was the initial setup?

      I rate the initial setup as an eight on a scale of one to ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy.

      What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

      I rate SAP as a three on a scale from one to ten, with one being inexpensive and ten being expensive.

      What other advice do I have?

      Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

      The solution has missing data and data latency issues, though its product hierarchy features are beneficial
      Pros and Cons
      • "The solution's contract management and product hierarchy features of SAP CRM are the most beneficial for our business operations."
      • "There is a lot of missing data and data latency issues between the different modules of SAP CRM, which creates a lot of problems."

      What is most valuable?

      The solution's contract management and product hierarchy features of SAP CRM are the most beneficial for our business operations.

      What needs improvement?

      There is a lot of missing data and data latency issues between the different modules of SAP CRM, which creates a lot of problems. SAP CRM uses a patch program between the modules to send data from one system to another.

      We faced two challenges with SAP CRM. One is the data latency issue, wherein data gets missed sometimes between the integration. Since it's always in a batch job, the data is not in real-time.

      SAP CRM is a very old technology. Functionality-wise, it has a lot of capabilities, but the user interface and user experience are all very old-fashioned. The solution has some strong features, but the overall usage experience is something it needs to improve.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      I have been using SAP CRM for three years.

      What do I think about the stability of the solution?

      I rate SAP CRM an eight out of ten for stability.

      What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

      More than 1,000 users are using the solution in our organization. I use SAP CRM on a daily basis.

      What other advice do I have?

      We use the solution to manage our customer content. We also manage the bidding, invoice, and time submission with SAP CRM.

      There is some integration between SAP CRM and other systems, which is very complicated and difficult to understand.

      Overall, I rate SAP CRM a five out of ten.
