SAP ERP Pricing
The solution has moved from a licensing model to a rights-based, subscription model in the cloud. Licenses are a capital expenditure so they have done away with them. Subscriptions are based on the number of users.
The solution is very expensive, no doubt about it. There are different options for different market segments such as small to medium, micro, or large enterprises.
The solution created SAP Cloud Private Edition for large enterprises. This option might run $200,000 for the subscription with 60 user licenses. The Fully Equivalent License allows one license to be shared across two to five users. For example, the 60 licenses could be extended to accommodate 180 to 200 users.
The Public Cloud is a good option and is intended for small to medium enterprises.
Business By Design SAP is intended for the micro category.
View full review »The pricing depends on the implementation functions. I work with implementations, and the cost varies depending on whether it's an internal or external team and the contractual basis or employees involved. Typically, it could start from 100,000 EUR and go up to 1 mio EUR and be much higher if we include more SAP solutions, locations, and cycles. The cost would vary greatly based on the specific requirements.

I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. SAP ERP is a costly tool. If you compare SAP ERP with its competitors like Microsoft or Oracle, then you may find that the products from SAP are a little bit cheaper when compared to the tools offered by Oracle. Compared to Microsoft, SAP is expensive.

The solution is expensive and is best-suited for large enterprises.
The pricing is based on the license per user, which I think makes the solution a bit costly, especially for Africa and Kenya. The price for the solution is the same for everybody, so they are able to generate the same revenue from companies in Europe. Basically, the prices of the solution are high, and we don't have that much revenue. We have to choose a mix of licenses for SAP ERP, so we can't choose just one type of license. Even though the mix of licenses has both expensive and cheap ones, one has to buy the expensive ones since there is a minimum ratio to be considered while purchasing their licenses. Additionally, our company had to pay 22% of the amount for the solution's licenses for maintenance and support.
View full review »The price of SAP ERP is much higher when compared to the other products in the market. My company makes early payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product. There are no additional costs apart from the charges paid toward the subscription-based license offered by SAP.
View full review »SAP is now the cheaper option, but if you compare pricing and the scope of the solution, SAP is the best option in terms of pricing because the scope is more comprehensive than other cloud solutions.
View full review »From my perspective, when you deploy it, the SAP instantly comes with several users and a pre-given user license. Each additional user added charges differently, and additional license fees are applied. Regarding HANA, there is a split in finance core asset management, inventory management, and supply chain, and they have buckets with the ERP on the previous version. There can also be add-ons. However, the standard things required by the business must be structured together and not charged as stand-alone as they are now with the HANA cloud versions.
Currently, the estimate for the license per user is between 20,000 to 40,000 USD. Although I am unsure of the exact number it costs in that range, every time I request a new user, I have to justify the need to my company because they claim it falls in that range per user license.

The solution can cost approximately $1 million a year for maintenance for a small-size company and can grow from there. Approximately $1 million is needed for a good-size company.
View full review »The price of SAP ERP is high, but it is worth the money. The maintenance and support can be expensive. There should be a different price model for businesses that are not as large to be able to afford it.
If the price of the solution was less it would be able to reach more of my customer.
I rate the price of SAP ERP a three out of ten.

When you have a solution that is stable, reliable, and has a high performance as this solution, the price is going to be expensive. However, when you evaluate the service you are paying for the cost is quite reasonable for this solution.

The pricing is very high. For enterprise-level organizations this may be okay, however, for smaller companies, it's likely not suitable.
What happens is that if small companies implement it, the maintenance cost is very high for this kind of ERP. It's a problem for those companies who want to implement ERP, and they find implementation cost is higher and the license cost is extremely high. The maintenance cost is very high as well.

The pricing is modular. You are charged according to the business process you want to take advantage of. However, it's a bit better than Oracle. For example, if I am using Oracle's finance and manufacturing modules, I need two licenses, however, in SAP, we only need one license that captures all processes we're using.
There are no additional costs beyond the central licensing.
