"SAP ERP is one of the most well-integrated solutions with all of the applications in my company, making it one of the most advantageous traits of the product.""The solution is very stable.""The architecture of the solution overall is great. It's great for development, testing, and production. I've worked with solutions where the architecture wasn't as strong and it was a disaster.""The most valuable features are the ease of installation and the MM functionality.""SAP ERP provides the perfect database and options for additional production. It's also good for finance analytics, production drill-down, and other types of analysis.""SAP is a very process controlled application. It does not allow users to manage the data. Once the initial process is set, it works smoothly.""The most valuable features are the claim management.""I have found all the modules related to finance valuable, such as account management and HR. The entire suite is very useful."

Cons
"They could add more features and details regarding the business details and some extra modules for business features.""The range of choices and functionalities has space for enhancement.""I'm uncertain because each year they release a new version with improvements. However, one area that needs significant enhancement is the website, particularly the modern core website. While there's an approach similar to WordPress, it is quite basic at the moment. Besides that, particularly with the POS solutions, we identified potential security issues. This is due to the storage of information on cookies or similar sessions. In cases of Internet-related issues, there's a vulnerability where data might be compromised. The system uses temporary storage until the internet connection is restored, and then it pushes the data to the server or database. This poses a risk, especially in point-of-sale systems, where there could be vulnerabilities for data modification or alteration by unauthorized individuals.""There are features that cannot be opened in the community edition and from a user perspective.""The performance can be slightly improved for the customization interface.""The solution's reporting could be improved.""Odoo’s asset management, supply chain, and advanced manufacturing should be improved.""The authorization management needs to be improved."

"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.""The problem for us, we are one company that has seven home markets. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. When we need to configure, modify rules, change policies, or taxes rules, when we move currencies around based on our other financial results, it can get very complicated. When we try to join everything together we have some problems. However, the process good, all of our material and procurement processes are going well. The problem is trying to consolidate the financial reports and this is where I have problems.""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.""It would also help if it were more open, more flexible, with more standard products.""The user interface could be improved. For example, sometimes you're missing some data and can't complete a task. There should be some built-in support and suggestions on how to solve your problem. I would also like the interface to be optimized to work better with mobile devices like tablets and smartphones.""There are a lot of manual tasks that are used by a lot of people, so it is a very good candidate for RPA.""The initial setup is complex."
