"It was comfortable setting up the tool."
"SAP CRM's most valuable at a branch level."
"The product integrates with third-party tools easily."
"The features that are used most are the lead model and the opportunity model. We can create many different pipelines with many phases. These features improved our process in the States very well."
"The solution is easy to use."
"We get very good support from SAP."
"I have found the most valuable feature of the SAP CRM system is its ability to integrate with other modules. SAP CRM is all about integrating with other modules. For example, SuccessFactors is their learning management. This is one use case that SAP CRM themselves use. Their lead generation versus their sales from their educational services. You can instantly receive insight into how many leads have been generated and how much it turned into real business or revenue for them. I was told in one of the seminars that the data transfer from the lead generation to sales is only 24 hours in SAP CRM."
"Certain stability issues could be automatically addressed through automation measures that would ensure absolute stability."
"We wanted to discover a list of clients that spend an average amount with us, and we just don't have that answer at this time. There just aren't enough answers being provided for the questions we have, and that's a real downside."
"From the perspective of continuous improvements needed in the product, I would want the tool to be able to pull out more information about clients."
"The scoring functionality in Salesforce is better. HubSpot CRM should improve its scoring feature."
"The product is not very scalable."
"Right now, HubSpot CRM fills my needs. The solution is good for marketing, and you can schedule when you want your ads and your emails to be sent out to your clients. You can track your client pipeline, you can see who viewed your messages and who hasn't, etc. I feel that HubSpot CRM is adequate for my need, but if the solution has the functionality of not needing to input your password every single time you log into the platform, then that would make it better. If that could be incorporated into the new version of HubSpot CRM, then the solution would go a long way."
"There is no option to remove duplicate constant contacts."
"HubSpot CRM could improve in integration with other solutions."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"There are quite a lot of missing parts in SAP CRM, which is why we do a lot of customization. Not everything is there, and some things need custom coding to cater to specific needs. It is not a plug-and-play solution with standard features, and we have to customize quite a lot."
"The solution is slow."
"Improvement is needed for SAP CRM's integration with Microsoft Teams and Outlook Its integration with Microsoft collaboration software, including Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint, is not very good. There are issues with synchronization between appointments in CRM and Outlook, as well as challenges with managing contacts, which creates problems."
"It can be a bit more user friendly, to be honest. Sometimes there are too many apps options. It should offer better UX (user experience) to make it easier to navigate and easier to use."
"The solution needs more flexible customization, tender request, and they need to think about some of the localization aspects."
"It was not very stable. It was not a network problem because we were using tools that were not SAP. They were working well. But when I'm running the SAP, it's not working for us."
