We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
The most valuable features are the exit points that enable integration with external software. | SAP has provided a much more integrated platform for managing our manufacturing business. It provides one overview of the capacity planning. It integrates everything into one process. Finance view across functions is valuable. It automates transactional processes. 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. It gives us full control over each change, to the level of the individual field in a master record, including certificates. MDG provides a central location for governance of the creation/updating processes of master data. It allows you to change several fields in the same object. For example, we can change a field on the purchasing view and change another field on an accounting view to the same material at the same time. |
Cons | |
The connectors, performance, and knowledgebase availability can be improved. | This solution could be made more user-friendly for development teams. It needs to incorporate the new features from the SAP S/4HANA release, such as, utilizing data processes, which is quite nice. SAP is not making a big effort to make it easy to integrate solutions from other vendors. It's not easy at all... Integration is what they can do better. There will always be something within our business that it won't fit. Poor ergonomics. Although you can use SAP as a Warehouse Management System, and you don’t need any other program for that purpose, it is not enough as a Transportation Management System. You need another program which is integrated with SAP. 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. The UI could use improvement. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Information Not Available | SAP ECC is not cheap but I consider it the best system for managing an organization's data and processes. |
