What is our primary use case?
I'm a solution manager helping customers to develop financial processes.
What is most valuable?
I like SAP's premade workflows for various areas, such as supply chain, procurement, or finance.
What needs improvement?
The user interface could be improved. For example, sometimes you're missing some data and can't complete a task. There should be some built-in support and suggestions on how to solve your problem. I would also like the interface to be optimized to work better with mobile devices like tablets and smartphones.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
SAP ERP is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's not appropriate for smaller companies. For example, ECC 6.0 has a lot of modules that a small customer may not use.
How are customer service and support?
SAP support is excellent. I've worked with them on many critical projects for large enterprises. SAP also has a strong network of partners who implement ERP for end customers.
How was the initial setup?
SAP ERP is difficult to set up. You need to configure lots of things during the deployment. The deployment time depends on the company's size. It might take a couple of years to fully deploy SAP ERP for a multinational corporation.
You need to undergo the initial setup and a few testing rounds. Some companies can do it in a year, but large enterprises have multiple systems to integrate. Smaller companies can do it in under a year. It takes time to deploy it across several departments, such as finance, logistics, etc.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
SAP ERP is expensive compared to competing products. The general feedback from customers is that most people say it's expensive.
What other advice do I have?
I rate SAP ERP nine out of 10. I would recommend SAP depending on your budget and requirements. It's one of the best ERP solutions for large enterprises, but I would suggest something else for a small or medium-sized company.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Fast, 100% stable, and good data integrity
Pros and Cons
- "It has a lot of integrity of data, and it is fast. All the users feel that they can trust this data. So, data integrity is the most important value of SAP."
- "It is not flexible for the users. SAP works in a specific way, and the users and the processes have to adapt to the way it works. It is hard to customize it to the level that we need for our work. It is not easy to get new extensions for process functions, modules, or activities."
What is our primary use case?
Almost all of our data processes are running on this platform. We use it for finance, production, logistics, and human resources.
What is most valuable?
It has a lot of integrity of data, and it is fast. All the users feel that they can trust this data. So, data integrity is the most important value of SAP.
It is scalable. It has the capacity to get bigger and consolidate data from all business processes.
What needs improvement?
It is not flexible for the users. SAP works in a specific way, and the users and the processes have to adapt to the way it works. It is hard to customize it to the level that we need for our work. It is not easy to get new extensions for process functions, modules, or activities.
It doesn't integrate well with other solutions. SAP is a closed circle, and it is not easy to share information with all of our ecosystems. SAP has its own solution for everything, such as for business intelligence and other things. There are many specialized vendors who are doing better than SAP, but it is not easy to integrate SAP with other solutions.
For how long have I used the solution?
It has been about 16 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is 100% stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Its scalability is good, but it is not flexible.
We can keep going with SAP. We have been growing, and we have been adding new business entities to our SAP. The number of enterprises that we manage with our SAP is growing. So, it is scalable.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate it a nine out of 10. It is a very good platform.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
