"The biggest disadvantage with things like PeopleSoft is that they do continuous support and fixes and upgrades. You get to choose when you want to implement that upgrade. However, in order to keep up, you have to upgrade."
"An area for improvement would be that it's quite difficult to learn how to use this product, and the documentation provided isn't helpful in giving you practical advice."
"Having applications which provide more enhanced features and user-friendly elements."
"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."
"SAP ERP is scalable. We have some five to ten thousand SAP ERP users."
"This solution could be made more user-friendly for development teams."
"I would like to see the customization of the reports become easier to work with instead of having technical support have to assist us."
"Improvements to the UI. The UI is pretty old, but this will change with the upcoming release of S.4."
"SAP ERP was not very user-friendly."
"The product can be a little slow when dealing with thousands of employee data."
"The power of ABAP Development Tools is the main valuable feature in the SAP ECC system. Every couple of years SAP upgrades ABAP technology significantly, which facilitates developers' work."
