I rate this solution a ten out of ten. I'll advise individuals who want to use this solution for the first time to ensure they get the right team to implement it. It might be expensive, but I'll advise them to use the SAP team because SAP regularly deploys the best staff. The experience throughout the project is super. Most times, end users get disappointed in system performance or the scalability of the system function because of the implementers. Once you have a good team and project manager, you can meet timelines and deliverables and have a smooth implementation process. It takes under six months to implement SAP fully with the right team. This solution is good but can improve by including more integration functions in the next release.

In comparison to others on the market, I would rate SAP ERP a nine out of ten. There is still room for improvement, as nothing is ideal. But it's one of the strongest on the market I have worked with.

It's good to learn from the best in this industry. And keep learning new things because sometimes you could be not aware that there are new solutions available to help you with your everyday tasks. And being in the area of professionals helps a lot.

SAP ERP is a great product, but its flexibility is limited.

It's a great product, but it has been driven from the top. It has been driven from the top. It is not a customer-based solution. We are offered something as it is and we are expected to use it as it is.

VP Global Sales and Marketing at VC ERP CONSULTING PRIVATE LIMITED

I think SAP ERP is a complete tool. SAP offers the ultimate ERP solution they shift to, especially when they want to move to a better solution. SAP ERP gives users flexibility. SAP ERP is good the way it is currently. The ecosystem of the tool is good. There are many SAP partners across the world who can support SAP's customers. Over time, SAP has evolved, as it now has new features and facilities. SAP keeps growing with time.

SAP ERP is a process. When customers decide that they want to buy or they want to implement SAP, most of them, or 80 percent of them, have already used some ERP solution in the past, and they now want to move to the next level, owing to which they want to shift to SAP. My company recommends people implement SAP ERP in their environment from day one as it is the best thing to do.

I rate the overall tool a ten out of ten.

As SAP ERP is a stable product, if its user has a good infrastructure, it is not difficult to maintain the product.

SAP ERP is a stable product, and if a user wants any customization to be done, which is not covered under the standard application offered by SAP, then you can make the changes to it.

I have seen how SAP S/4HANA has good features, so I suggest users try it.

SAP ERP is one of the best solutions. It's complex, but it can do a lot of things. If you are considering implementing SAP ERP, make sure you have a business process straight before you implement such a large solution. Streamline your business process and try to achieve standardization, instead of trying to customize things, use industry standards.

I rate SAP ERP eight out of 10. SAP ERP is a good system for optimizing processes for various employees and it offers information for company decision-making. It provides databases and other tools for HR, production, and financial analysis. 

My advice to new users is to forget everything they know about other software and ERP systems because SAP is specific and customized for different types of activities.

AH
Director at a consultancy with 11-50 employees

If you're a large, professional organization with significant complexity, then SAP ERP would be a good fit as it comes with out-of-the-box support for more complicated processes. However, if you're a smaller organization or a quick-build company that's not planning to grow larger, then SAP ERP may not be advised. It's more about the complexity of the business you're running, and we run a manufacturing distribution component that is quite sophisticated compared to something you would find with Dynamics or 365. But it's more about the organization's size and complexity that determines how useful SAP ERP can be.  It may be the right solution for some and not for others, so it's subjective.

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Most S/4 ERP solutions are cloud-based. BPC is totally cloud-based. Most of our data servers are cloud-based, and Information Steward is also cloud-based.

All the data and more used to be stored locally. Nowadays, however, all the data, including S/4HANA, is only on the cloud. They're planning to move everything into the cloud, even ACC, because of space and wasted storage issues.

We have 22,263 SAP ERP end users, for which we require a team comprising around 25 technical and as many as 74 functional members.

There are many interfaces, so you really can build satellites around it like with other SAP stuff or even third-party stuff. The entity relationship is the basis for the whole business in the world. For example, the relationships between the customer, vendor, materials, orders, invoices, and so on. For me, this system is very logical. It's complex, but once you understand it, it's perfect.

Account Manager at Cadmium

I recommend SAP ERP, but it depends on where you are. I'm from the Czech Republic, and SAP dominates the local market. But that's not because of the product but because of the number of available consultants and their experience. By comparison, Oracle has a great solution, but no one has experience with implementation. We didn't know about all the functions and features. Likewise, if you don't have a critical mass of customers, you cannot get experience from implementation.

There are about 700 certified consultants in the Czech Republic for SAP ERP.

I rate SAP ERP an eight out of ten.

It covers pretty much everything. It's not that something is missing. There are better products than this, however, they are not necessarily as complete. If you're buying those products, you will have to spend money to interface with the backbone of SAP. 

They're making it more user-friendly. A user has to work smart and if he's not able to work smart, we spend so much less time training people. Unless you have a photogenic memory, SAP can take a bit of work.

Other software can be learned in 15 days, however, SAP takes a while.

CV
Director of Transformation SAP at a consultancy with 501-1,000 employees

When it comes to financing or accounting, SAP is quite enormous. When a company has to produce on every quarter, the numbers that would be in the SAP report, it is quite good. It has very long, long, long life behind it. Logistics, it's still okay. But for the rest, we just started G-Cloud first with a software as a service application. For HR, you have Workday, for instance.

For key purchasing, maybe go to SAP Ariba. If you are looking for Salesforce automation, for instance CRM, maybe you will go to Salesforce. It really depends on which process you want to clone and you want to target, but for the core finance, S/4HANA is a good solution.

I can't recommend this solution because SAP has already planned and given the notification for its discontinuation. They have already launched the next ERP version called S/4HANA, which is better than SAP ERP in terms of user-friendliness, training, complexity, and planning cycles. It seems to have all the functionality of SAP ERP, and it also has technological advancements.

Digital Business Solutions - Key Account Manager at a tech services company with 201-500 employees

For a large organization, SAP is the best way to go. It is also perfect if you are into manufacturing, oil and gas, natural resources, utilities, etc. If you're into finance, you can go with Oracle. If you are a small and medium business, you can go with Epicor or something else. It depends on the business requirements you have and the scale of your organization, business operations, customer base, etc.

I would rate it an eight out of 10. It is definitely up in the top three. No product will ever reach a 10 because the landscape keeps on changing in terms of the requirements within the business and the requirements of the customer. So, there is nothing that can be 100% aligned to meet all business requirements. We are in an evolving, constantly changing business environment, so it is not something that is practical. You can keep on striving, and you can keep on trying to improve your processes, tools, technologies, and the people who work on them, but at the end of the day, when you're looking at an ERP system, it is not about 100% alignment. It is about going for the best-fit approach, and in my opinion, SAP is a good fit for customers.

You need to be well prepared to implement this solution. The most important thing is that there should be management involvement. It should not be left alone to the IT team or the applications team. The key to the success of any ERP is the involvement of the management.

I would rate SAP ERP a six out of ten. I won't rate it more than the average scale. This rating is based on the experience with the current version, which has a lot of scope for improvement. If I use the latest version, I might move the ranking up.

I have heard that the newest version has some capabilities to overcome the issues faced by the users in the present version. We are planning to implement the newer version. The industry or the current situation is holding us back. After we are out of this pandemic situation and the industry downturn, we will, of course, implement it.

Chief of Systems Development at a non-tech company with 10,001+ employees

Check and double-check the fine print of the contract. Also, find a hardware provider that can scale to the volume of your business, and have a hardware provider that already has implemented solutions. In our case, IBM made a mistake when sizing the server that we needed and we had three months of performance problems. It wasn't the fault of SAP, it was the fault fo IBM. It was a bad way to start with a new system, but they didn't have enough experience in sizing the server for the solution.

I give the solution an eight out of 10. Everything works well enough, but something that could be better is their ability to work with customer's processes in the way the customer does them. I understand that they propose best practices, but when you have been in your industry for 50 years, you know what the best practices are. So you are not always going to change your process because your ERP provider thinks there are better ways.

Senior Business Process Analyst (BPM-BPMS) at Jiring

Because we can not do customizations of SAP easily in our company and because of its cost, I can not recommend SAP ERP to people in a similar situation because I know that it would be a failure for them. But because of the issues with expenditure and because of the dollar exchange rate problems, my advice to these people is to use some opensource solution for BPMS like Bizagi, or Camunda, or Bonita.  

If the technical people in the company can support the Java behind it, Bonita is the best of these solutions as a choice for their company in my opinion.  

On the scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would still rate SAP ERP as an eight-out-of-ten. It is a good rating for a good product. I think it is one of the best in the world but it does not work in our country for very many businesses. The problem that it has for people in our country does not change the fact that it is the best at what it does.

Azure Cloud Solution Architect(CSA) at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees

We're just customers. We don't have a business relationship with SAP.

We are using the latest version of the solution.

Although it is a good product, I'd recommend that other organizations consider an alternate solution. This is due to the fact that it's a very expensive model. For us, for the very initial stage of our business, we've spent quite a lot on it. If a company has a vision for the next five years, it could prove difficult to adhere to the solution should things unexpectedly change.

It might be better to have a basic application available on the market. The licensing costs are far too high on this one.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten, even though the costs are so large. In this time of COVID, people really are more cost-conscious and high licensing costs are untenable for a lot of businesses.

I would rate SAP ERP a seven out of ten.

I do not think that SAP ERP fits perfectly to all industries. You have got to be careful in choosing it or other solutions. SAP is mostly good for manufacturing. It is good for certain sectors of the industry and works in our case, but it is not for every type of business.  

People do not have to do a lot of preparation before bringing the product onboard such as reading a lot of documentation. Mostly it is better that they see demos and project how it really works in their environment before they go for it because it is not user-friendly. If the business is within the service industry and service provision is the kind of environment they work in, I do not think I would suggest SAP ERP as a solution. If the potential client wants to use it for retail, again I would not suggest it because it is far too complicated for what they need to do and there are better solutions for that use case. It is typically good for manufacturing and those kinds of core product development industries.  

On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate SAP ERP as around an eight-out-of-ten overall. For me the only thing that plays against it is that it could be more user friendly, that is the biggest issue I am looking at.

I would recommend this solution but not on a large scale. They should start on a smaller scale.

I would rate SAP ERP an eight out of ten.

This is a product that I recommend for others.

In summary, this is a good product but it is made by humans hands. Every product has problems, even in perfect projects. Nonetheless, this one is good enough.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
