"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is having the sources so that you're able to adapt the product to your needs. That was a big benefit."

"The most valuable features of SAP ERP are the integration between all departments, such as purchasing, finance, trading, and sales."

"My developers want to use more HTML instead of the specialized tool, PeopleTools because, they say, it's better from a user perspective."
"One thing that is lacking in ERP is a good user interface. It is currently very clumsy and complex. Another thing is that reporting capability of SAP ERP is customizable, but it is not very good. Its development time is also very high if you require specialized technical services. If you want to do any changes to the report or develop a new report, you need people with specialized skills. Business processes are very straightforward and standardized as per the industry standards. However, the way it works is a bit complex, and you need to know a lot of things. There are different things that can be complex for a general user. A lot of information is being provided in ERP. A general user doesn't require all this information, and it creates a lot of confusion. Its learning curve is very high."
"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."
"I think that implementation could be simplified."
"The warehouse management could be better."
"When there is a system error it provides an error code and a lot of times these can be complicated. The support team could have more knowledge to be able to assist with these situations more promptly."
"There should be better support provided to be able to migrate to S/4HANA easier."
"SAP ERP was not very user-friendly."
"More integrations and built-in integrations with other environments and products are needed."
