Cons
"The version that we are using lacks in reporting. The reporting feature needs to be constructed more in this product. There can be better scope for mobility. They could include the technical development of reports instead of depending completely on programming. The programming method needs to be easy.""Functionality could be improved.""I would like to see more integration with other partners. Some of our customers already use specific or in-house applications for their business processes. They do not want to replace those applications.""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.""SAP ERP needs to be more innovative when it comes to areas like mobility and the internet.""If big companies are going for SAP and they would like to install it, they should know that it still needs time. Implementation will cost a lot of money.""SAP is more expensive than some of its competitors.""They need to improve a few processes, including transformation, intelligence, governance, modeling, etc."
