"The solution is versatile with various integrated tools such as connecting with finance modules, controlling parameters, and creating universal journals."
"We are a well-established enterprise with a century-long history, and we recently transitioned from an older version to the current support system. This move has allowed us to fully leverage the advantages of the new system, facilitating efficient management of our business processes, including those related to manufacturing and other aspects of our operations."
"With the newer update, there are more funnels as well as ample opportunity to customize the solution. With the SAP Optimizer, companies are using about five to ten percent of the product as-is while the other ninety to ninety five percent is customized to automate and standardize processes."
"It is good in data analytics and helps in data analytics."

"The stability could always be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the ability to reverse or correct transactions more easily."
"The solution is not best suited for larger-scale businesses."
"Any request that had come from the website had to go through an e-form which was then plugged into Microsoft Dynamics NAV. There was no direct data capture. That was the pain point, where clients had to build e-forms, and that caused delays in transactions and getting information."
"Its task scheduling and manufacturing models need improvement."
"The initial setup of the solution was quite complex and the troubleshooting involved with that needs to be improved."
"UX design is not flexible and lacks compatibility with mobile devices."
"The pricing is high."
"Difficult to install and difficult to test. Testing needs to be improved. Scalability of this solution also needs improvement."
"Analytics could be improved."
"They can improve the interface. It has a client-server kind of interface, which is kind of old."
"The solution is expensive. That can be an issue for clients."
"I'd like to share my experience during the migration from SAP ERP to SAP S/4HANA in the cloud. My primary challenge in this migration was the requirement to open a ticket for every request during the project phase, not during operational or post go-live phases. Despite this, I must acknowledge that overall, SAP has proven to be very reliable. To clarify the issue, after migrating to SAP S/4HANA, I opted to host my SAP solution on the private cloud by converting the license to SAP Cloud. The drawback I encountered during the project phase was the insistence on opening a ticket or service request for any issue or query I had within the project's activities. Looking ahead, I hope that SAP streamlines and simplifies this process for future customers, making it more user-friendly and efficient than my experience."
"Integrating SAP with other products like payroll solutions should be smoother. I wish there were some tools a consultant could build according to the client's requirements. For example, say I want to process debit and credits. In SAP, we have to follow SAP terminologies and patterns. I need a template to deploy my structure according to the client's requirements. There is no structure available in SAP that a consultant can mold."
