"The most valuable feature of SAP ERP is the financial module, pre-configured packages, and plenty of features. The solution is updating and adding new features that are helpful."
"SAP ERP has a good user interface with a lot of functionalities and good interface options."
"It is easier to migrate to SAP ERP from a legacy system. We have different products for data services, and it is easier to migrate to SAP ERP as compared to other solutions. Stability is one of the main features of SAP. What makes SAP ERP better than others is that SAP has taken into consideration the business processes of different industries, such as manufacturing. They have done the research, and they know what are the best practices. They have already implemented these best practices in SAP ERP, which are readily available for a client. Clients can also customize it based on their individual needs."
"I like SAP's premade workflows for various areas, such as supply chain, procurement, or finance."
"From a long-term perspective, I can say that the solution can offer a return on investment, but it may take around three to four years for our company to experience it."
"The most valuable feature of SAP ERP is the integration. It can be seamlessly integrated across the board."
"The product connects to every software."
"The best thing that SAP ERP has is the extensive coverage of processes for every field and business unit such as procurement, inventory, financials, asset management, plant maintenance, and production. We can cover up to 99.9% processes of our organization, which is the best thing about this solution. It also has a very good capability to integrate with other applications. The security and authorization level of SAP ERP is very high. No other solution can match this level."
"However, the production guys tell me that Penta is not suitable for mass production. If we build a hundred cars per day or more, then we'll have problems. At the same time, I can't say whether the issue is Penta or our process. In other words, maybe we have too many manual projects in it."
"In general, a user should attend training before they can use this platform. There's definitely a learning curve. As a new user or employee, there may be some difficulty with onboarding."
"Implementing SAP ERP can be very costly, particularly for smaller organizations with limited resources."
"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."
"There should be better support provided to be able to migrate to S/4HANA easier."
"The production system must be upgraded."
"Though SAP ERP's FICO module is a strong part of the product, its integration capabilities can be made stronger."
"There are a lot of manual tasks that are used by a lot of people, so it is a very good candidate for RPA."
"The speed to build and the speed to deliver could be better."
