SAP ERP Reviews

We are using SAP ERP in the agricultural industry and we use it mostly for finance control models.

Overall the solution is very good in the industry.

The flexibility in using the software could improve. I am from a product background and I've been testing a lot of applications, for example, Informatics. The UI, features, and cloud version could improve.

I have been using SAP ERP for approximately two years.

SAP ERP is stable.

I have found SAP ERP scalable.

We have approximately 100 people using this solution in my organization.

My team was involved with the support and they could improve by being faster.

We have used a previous solution and it was a purely homegrown system, which was completely customized and developed in .NET.

The initial setup was complex and took approximately three hours for all the computers.

We used an integrator for the implementation of the solution. Four consultants is a good number for the process.

We pay annually for the use of this solution.

I would recommend this solution.

I would rate SAP ERP a seven out of ten.

Mostly, I use ERP for engineering applications — small fry infrastructure.

ERP could use better integration with other systems. That's always the thing. Any upgrade or any other integration would be helpful with such a solid platform.

I have been using SAP ERP for about 10 years now. 

ERP is stable. The outcome is clear to us as far as the design goes.

I don't set the solution up. It's just for me to play with the keyboard.

I would rate ERP seven out of 10. 

We implement it for customers, and we use the software internally for process management and inventory management.

SAP is already working on improvements by doing annual releases with enhancements.

I would like to see more integrations and built-in integrations with other environments and products. Sometimes, we have a product that needs something, and we would need to replace a feature or model in the system with other models outside.

In this case, we would like the system to be more flexible, more component-based. Then, we would be able to take one component and leave the others. We won't have to buy in bulk to benefit from the product. We can select features and pay for those.

Technical support could be better.

I've been working with this product for almost 7 years.

As for technical support, it depends on how SAP defines the level of the ticket. Sometimes, the ticket is very important to us, while from the perspective of SAP, its of low or medium priority. This makes things difficult for us.

When the ticket is of medium or low priority from the perspective of SAP, it takes more time to solve it.

So, when we have product limitations or something's not working, we would need to help the customers find a solution or workaround.

The initial setup is a little bit complex. In the beginning, it takes some time for the business consultants to prepare the environment and set up everything. Usually, if you give the consultants the appropriate time to do the setup correctly the first time, everything will go smoothly.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate SAP ERP at eight.

It's the biggest and the most prominent ERP system in business, globally, and it can be used for almost anything. This is one of the biggest advantages of SAP - having so many modules and supporting so many different industrial sectors. Therefore, it would be hard to find what the SAP can't do.

The solution is the biggest ERP system globally and can do pretty much anything.

With all the complexity, there isn't any tool that is so complex and offers so many features as the SAP does those days.

If you are well versed in SAP, the initial setup is pretty simple. 

It's pretty pricey for the functionality. 

In certain barriers, for example, CRM, Salesforce can do better than the analog tools in SAP. It's not naturally grown from its own development of the SAP and a lot of products or solutions are bought in or purchased by SAP. I'm using different technologies due to this.

A major problem of SAP these days is it's not homogenous. It's a conglomerate of many different solutions and systems, which are not very well integrated.

The initial setup can be difficult if your team is unfamiliar with the product.

Technical support could be better. 

I've worked with the solution on and off for 15 years. I didn't spend the last 15 years just implementing SAP ERP. I did all other kinds of projects as well. That said, I've worked with the product for a while.

I was doing working with three different companies for the past 15 years as well as a couple of external clients. I've used it across a few different industries. 

Technical support definitely can be faster. We have had a couple of tickets in solution support opened for a long, long time without proper or satisfactory response. We're not 100% happy with the level of support we receive. 

The setup complexity depends on how strong of a team you have. If you have enough experience, then no major problem with implementation. For the cloud solutions, now you don't even really install. You just get your own tenant developed or created by the SAP itself.

The size of the technical team you will need depends on your business scale. You can do it with a small team of two or three people if it's a small implementation. You can also deal with the thousands of mandates if it's a complex enterprise implementation. That said, it's the same or very similar with any other tool as the complexity is not driven by the tool itself. Rather, it is the business processes of a customer.

It's definitely not the cheapest system to license and run. It could be cheaper. 

Typically, they offer yearly licensing agreements. 

I'm not only an end-user. I'm a project manager who has implemented it in the past.

The solution can be deployed both on-premises and on the cloud. 

I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

I would recommend the solution to other users and organizations. 

We use SAP ERP to support and manage our business process in areas, such as sales, manufacturing, distribution, shipping, financials, purchasing, marketing, opportunities, and quotations.

The solution has improved our organization by allowing us to simply take a product from concept to aftermarket by following the process of developing service for the company.

The most valuable features of SAP ERP are the general operations. It has a good way to manage a business and do financial reporting. Overall we are happy with the robustness of the solution.

Reporting is why most companies need to acquire business intelligence add-on solutions, and when it comes to SAP ERP, they could improve the reporting graphical representation of the data.

I have been using SAP ERP for approximately 12 years.

The solution is highly stable.

SAP ERP is very hard to scale, it is very time-consuming, and once fully implemented it is normally fixed.

We have approximately 350 users using the solution. It is extensively used, every single position in the company uses SAP, which includes but is not limited to, customer service, customer service managers, purchasing, purchasing director, finance, and finance controller.

We do not use support from SAP but we have third-party support.

The implementation of the solution took approximately one year. However, this might seem like a long time but it is typical for ERP solutions.

We used consultants to do the implementation of the solution. I have heard from colleagues the experience was not very good.

We have an internal team of seven that does all the maintenance and support of the solution.

I would advise those wanting to implement the solution to use a good consultant.

The solution has been in the market for a long time. It does what it says that is going to do but it requires a lot of knowledge of the business and stabilization takes time. Once it is stable, it does everything it should be doing. Any additional changes make it a little bit difficult, once you make a decision, that decision has to be carried out for the life cycle of the solution.

I rate SAP ERP a seven out of ten.

We are using this solution for enterprise resource planning.

The most valuable feature is the robust workflows that SAP provides to us in our organization. Overall, I find it the best ERP solution compared to other similar solutions.

The problem for us, we are one company that has seven home markets. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. When we need to configure, modify rules, change policies, or taxes rules, when we move currencies around based on our other financial results, it can get very complicated. When we try to join everything together we have some problems. However, the process good, all of our material and procurement processes are going well. The problem is trying to consolidate the financial reports and this is where I have problems.

I have been using SAP ERP for approximately six years.

I rate SAP ERP a nine out of ten.

I work at a hospital and SAP provides core components. We're in the health industry and we use industry solutions that are designed specifically for health care. We are customers of SAP ERP and I'm a development specialist at a health institution in Colombia. 

This product has a lot of good features. We previously used several systems that were very difficult to integrate. ERP is great because it's more or less integrated and that makes a big difference in our organization. The modeling of the SAP ERP means it has far more features, processes, and more functionalities than we previously had. In every aspect, SAP is an enterprise solution that has a lot of customization and, as a hospital, it offers us tremendous help that supports our processes. 

There's a lot of functionality that could be improved. We are far better now than we were before, but as a hospital we are very sensitive about security and risk because clinical information is very sensitive so we're using an on-prem solution. We're not ready to go to the cloud and I feel that SAP is trying to force us into the cloud. That is a very different model and would be a huge effort because they are very different licensing models and there are different costs involved. In addition, there are some tools we use that no longer have support for the on-prem versions. The other aspect that's important for us is availability of our systems, and without that we'd be in trouble. If you need security 24/7 and you have a cloud solution there might be a couple of areas where the platform is down and there are disruptions. That's a huge problem for us. I'd like to see some support for the on-premise solution. 

I've been using this solution for 10 years. 

This solution is rock solid stable. We had some minor performance issues when we migrated from Oracle to the HANA Database but it's been very stable since then. 

The solution is scalable. We also have multiple back up systems so if one goes down there is immediate back up that's transparent for the user, because we're totally dependent on our systems.

We generally receive support from the vendor. If the problem needs more expertise, then we call SAP, but normally we talk to the vendor and they are helpful. 

The initial setup is not easy. To deploy SAP ERP you need consultants and you need training. There's a lot to learn before you can properly use the product because it's a huge solution. It took us a year to complete deployment. We deployed the ERP, the central component and the HCF, the human resources module and industry solutions for healthcare that is EHS and EHSM in a year. 

This is a very, very good solution, but a very, very expensive one too. You need infrastructure, you need training, you need a lot of components and a large amount of money. SAP has a lot of functionality. 

I rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

We are using it for all of our core business processes, including finance, sales and distribution, warehousing, and HR. We have its latest version.

Its integration is most valuable.

Its user interface should be improved.

I have been using this solution for more than seven years.

It is stable.

It is also scalable. Currently, we have more than a thousand users.

Their technical support is fine. We have a Service Level Agreement with SAP's technical support. They are within their Service Level Agreement.

I would recommend this solution. It is the best ERP product. We plan to keep using it in the foreseeable future.

I would rate SAP ERP a seven out of ten.

All of our business transactions happen in ERP. 

All SAP solutions are quite costly. They could be cheaper. The license costs are pretty high. 

We have been using SAP ERP for more than a decade. 

SAP ERP is stable. 

SAP ERP is scalable. We have some five to ten thousand SAP ERP users. 

Their tech support is always good. 

We deployed in-house. Some 200 members of our technical team were involved. They were in roles like manager, engineer, admin, and support team member. 

I would recommend this solution. 

We use SAP ERP for finance, manufacturing, and purchasing.

It integrates most of the areas from a financial point of view and helps the company track operations on a global level.

I like that SAP ERP is very robust and stable.

It could be more flexible, and the company should be able to adapt the system. Not the other way around. It's very rigid and difficult to change. Reporting could also be better.

We have been using SAP ERP in our company for 15 to 20 years.

SAP ERP is a stable solution.

It's very scalable. It's just a matter of cost. We have 100 to 150 users at the moment.

Technical support is available anywhere, and it's easy to find.

The initial setup is very complex.

SAP ERP is expensive.

I would tell potential users that the implementation could be very complex. It's key to have clarity about the company processes from the beginning before implementing SAP ERP. If you don't, the company processes will have to be adapted to the SAP standard way of working.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give SAP ERP a seven.
