"The accounting module's record and report process is closely integrated with almost every other process.""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.""The solution is very stable.""This is a robust solution with a lot of control measures.""Their tech support is always good.""The payroll solution and the localization for advances are valuable.""The stability is SAP ERP is not good only because the version is old. They could work on improving the versions.""The system can be integrated with other SAP functionalities - such as finance, production, sales, marketing, HR, et cetera, and can also be customized to become a model that's specifically designed for my business. That's the solution's most valuable aspect."

Cons
"Just implementing an ERP system takes a lot of time.""The product lacks a lot of features and technology."

More QAD Cloud ERP Cons →

"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.""It needs a more complete guidance with complete processes. Right now, it only has single transactions.""SAP ERP could improve by having better integration with other platforms.""Pricing could be improved for preferred customers.""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.""The user interface can be more intuitive and user-friendly by having it be more menu-driven, this would be a large benefit.""In general, a user should attend training before they can use this platform. There's definitely a learning curve. As a new user or employee, there may be some difficulty with onboarding.""SAP is more expensive than some of its competitors."
