It brings the needed efficiency n terms of how we handle our customers and the live data. We can track all the activities of our customers on our site which helps us to serve them better. For future growth, we can use the SAP CRM product to pull up historical data for ease of decision making. This tool helps to analyze the trend in that data we have collected which will help s forecast on what to expect in future.

CONS: There are problems that need addressing in any software application. SAP CRM has the same feel when you use it. There are few glitches that can be improved by the development team. For example, it is not intuitive. New users find it difficult or complex to use as the features are not user friendly. You will require a lot of assistance from the account managers if you want to hack all the functionalities of this tool. To make the best use of it, you will need to take time to navigate each hurdle. Most SAP tools are simple to use unlike this one.

PROS: It's an app that promotes efficiency in the workplace. One of its specialties is data management. It makes it easier to keep and track customer records using just one single tool. If something goes wrong on a specific customer transaction, it's easy to trace, investigate, and solve the issue.

CONS: One of the biggest frustrations that I’ve experienced as an end-user is the slow speed of SAP CRM. It’s known for lagging and crashing at certain times, which makes it unreliable in some ways. It would also be great if they can find a way to simplify some processes. Allow us to copy and paste the information rather than capture screenshots or manually type the information, which is relatively time-consuming.

PROS: We were looking for a software product that can cater to most of our business functions. It was fortunate that we found out more about SAP CRM. I was initially impressed with its user interface, which for me, is smart and intuitive. This platform can integrate with other programs such as business warehouse and enterprise planning, which are essential aspects of our day to day operations. We also appreciate its capability to produce sales and performance reports, trend analysis and improve our marketing strategy to generate more revenue.

CONS: I’ve seen a massive jump in our sales figures ever since we shifted to SAP CRM. The performance has been impressive to the point that we had to cater to more clients in the last two quarters. However, this application needs to work on its integration process with outlook expression, which requires more improvement from a personal standpoint. Also, they should look into improving their mobile services to increase user engagement.

PROS: The success of our business solely depends on our customers. If they are satisfied with our performance, that means more upcoming projects for our company. Through the help of SAP CRM, we can assist our clients by helping them meet and exceed their required targets. The integration process is amazingly smooth and fast, so our clients can still use their existing tools while aiming to deliver better service. Most of our clients are happy with their improved customer service. The platform itself is capable of tracking down every single transaction and provide real-time resolutions to whatever issues that they bring on the table.

CONS: SAP CRM is something that can turnaround any business in such a short amount of time. The results are fast, accurate, and promising. No doubt that many companies prefer using this compared to other platforms. However, if you are going to talk about cost-efficiency, then its something that every business person has to consider in the long run. I think that SAP CRM is expensive for small-time entrepreneurs. Although integration is very much allowed, users may need to shell out extra money for the implementation process to become successful.

PROS: If you are looking for a dependable and lasting business partner, then consider investing in SAP CRM so you can fully utilize its features to improve your company’s processes. What I like best about this application is its flexibility and adaptability since it works best with any other type of 3rd party software available in the market. I always look forward to system upgrades because it becomes faster and more efficient. With CRM, I am confident that we can gain and retain more clients and help us find ways to remain competitive.

CONS: Nowadays, there are so many business tools that are readily available in the market that can cater to all types of enterprises. Because of the competition, SAP CRM should work harder to step up their game for them to be number one in the industry. The subscription rates are quite costly, that will make a small-mid scale business owner think twice about availing. Also, they need to work on improving their UI by making it more user friendly. Most employees, without any experience using SAP, need more training to familiarize themselves with the system, which can be costly for most companies.

PROS: Working in a school setting, you have a lot of education relate data to deal with. When you have bulk information of that sort, it can be strenuous if you do not have the right system or program to handle that data. SAP CRM has helped us achieve better organization and data management for students with ease. Its features are seamless which allows us to collect, store and retrieve data whenever we want. It acts as a database for your students’ information which can be easily accessed. With this tool, you can never go wrong when it comes to data management.

CONS: Despite it being seamless in terms of functionalities, you have to know what it takes before you embark on using this product. There are some features which are blocked and will require permissions if you are to use them. If this is not the case, then you will not be able to attain your objective. In short, you have to know how to navigate the tool before you can fully implement it to do the work for you. Failure to this, it might disappoint you all the way. Take time to learn the feature and how they relate with your work before taking a dive.

PROS: It makes everything look simple when you are using this CRM software. Since we use the business warehouse and ERP systems, we can easily integrate them with this tool for efficiency. It presents an attractive atmosphere on which you can do business with ease. We have stations in different locations and countries which makes our set up complex. Luckily, with the help of this product, we can manage data with the utmost efficiency in those remote locations which is a plus on our part. In short, the SAP CRM tool has made our work easier in terms of managing data among other functionalities it brings with it.

CONS: It has everything we need to manage the sales data in our system. However, it can prove to be a difficult product especially for new users. It has a learning curve which brings the need to train new staff members if you want them to use it. With me, I did not experience this problem but with most of our sales team, this was a tough mountain to climb. The bigger problem was with when you wanted to make changes into the system. Its complex functionalities were difficult to master within a short period and thus new users took a lot of time to learn and navigate around the tool.

PROS: It is the utmost solution when you want to manage multiple units in your business or company. This is due to the fact that it allows for multiple add-ins and thus you can install them into your system depending on your business needs. It is highly customizable when you want to create tailored reports. Since I am in the finance industry, I can utilize this tool when coming up with such reports. The sub ledger capture feature is ideal when I want to track revenue and expenses for my business. In short, it makes my work easier and less time consuming.

CONS: The whole process of finding your way around the tool can be an outdated one and the experience is not user friendly. The appearance of the user interface is not what you would expect for a modern tool such as the SAP CRM. Despite it being exceptionally great in terms of managing data and analysis, there are few obstacles you have to deal with before you get to the good stuff. To understand how each feature works or how to use it, you will need guidance every step of the way or else you will get lost on the way.

When it comes to the search feature, it is highly recommended as you can find anything you are looking for. You can also sub search different categories of data or information within the system making it an ideal solution for your search problems. The knowledge management feature is also helpful if you want to know more about how to use this product. It is populated with documents which contain information about how to deal with some situations when you face them during the course of using SAP CRM.

CONS: There are some things that I don’t like about this tool. In terms of functionality, it is an amazing tool. However, when it comes to features such as the interaction section and the back option, they can be difficult to deal with. For the part of interaction section, it can take most of your data space which is not convenient. I do not see the need for this section being included into the system and regard it as a waste of space on my part. For the back option, I sometimes find myself using the browser back option, as it is web based, instead of the system’s back option. This can be frustrating when you make that mistake.

PROS: It has a powerful reporting functionality for any type of data you gather in your system. The user interface is simple for any user to get by and explore the features in the product. When it comes to integration, it is compatible with the BW and ERP and thus helpful on our side. The features are seamless which gives us a better user experience when using this product. You can manage all data and analyze it with ease under the same roof. For the reporting feature, it has charts and graphs to help you interpret the results of analysis better for reliable decision making.

CONS: For the client and data management functionalities, the tool was seamless. It did not have any major problems on that part. However, integration with outlook was not that intuitive. There were glitches in this functionality which was frustrating to begin with. It is a good thing that it is mobile friendly and cloud based, however the slow nature of this product for both of the cases did not go well with us. It would be better if it could be faster when running it on mobile devices or in its cloud based form. All in all, we are happy with what it has to offer for our business.

PROS: It acts a storage platform on which you can store data for your business regardless of the size. This helps us with our data as we can store it, analyze it and retrieve it whenever we need to. The search option is easily customizable which helps you to become better organized. For example, if you wanted to pull up certain information from your database, you can do with ease and speed. It helps you to set up the search feature the way you want which is convenient. The emails can be automated to suit the needs of your business. This means that you do not have to manually manage the emails which frees up your resources and thus more productive.

CONS: There are a few problems with this tool that I need to point out. Although it has what it takes to give us the best functionalities, it does not have an intuitive user interface. This means that, if you are not tech savvy or you clearly do not understand the field you want to analyze data in, it can be confusing. It has a learning curve for most new users which can be frustrating. The CRM part of the tool does not function as it should be. It does not push data into SAP and it is slow which could slow your entire process. At times, you may even get a time out and start all over again.

PROS: It has made it possible for us to track orders from the time they are made to when a customer makes payment. We use SAP CRM to handle all data that takes place in the entire process of transaction. With such a tool, we can integrate it with our already deployed systems to help us track data in the right manner. As a result, eliminate repetition of data and speed up the transaction process. Customers are thus able to get what they want faster as the product is accurate and fast in processing of data. With this tool, it is easy to understand the data you have collected or recorded after analysis.

CONS: We found the whole process of account planning tiring and time consuming. When it came to promotions, this tool offers individual plans for our customers. This means that you have to come up with one for each customer or group of customers depending on what they are looking for. This proved to be a lot of work on our part or on the part of the account manager. It would be better if they provided a plan that caters for all customers instead of individual needs. This would save a lot of time and take much pressure from us. Despite all this, we love what this tool has to offer.

PROS: In our sales and marketing efforts, we depend on SAP CRM to help us manage all that. It helps us to track and manage leads at all levels until they become customers. With this CRM tool, it is possible to know how customers or prospects interact with our company so that we can find better ways to improve customer service or engagement for improved sales. The SAP CRM product improves visibility of our business operations as we can detect a problem with ease through the technical support and thus attract more customers on our end. In the process, we can know which campaign works and direct resources there for better results. In the end, we get to save on the cost of customer service and marketing in general.

CONS: There is much to like about the SAP CRM tool. However, in a less similar capacity, there are few things which can be off about this product. It focuses more on the end user development which gives room for error. Most end users are not skilled or do not have adequate knowledge which about low quality standards as a result. With the speed that comes with the end user development in this tool, there are high chances that you will make errors that will translate to the low quality of the outcome. It would be better if it did not focus more on the end user development as this would eliminate most of those errors.

PROS: If you have bulk data that needs analyzing or storing, you have the SAP CRM to go with. It is a powerful tool which accommodates your business needs in full. It does not matter how small or how large your business is, this tool is designed to accommodate any magnitude of needs your business may have. Such a capacity can be helpful for your business processes. If you want to manage customer data or business operation data, you can do so with ease. It is an end to end solution for data management and analysis needs of any company. This gives you the assurance you need to stay up to date.

CONS: Despite it being an end to end solution for your business needs, it features are too complicated for my understanding. It solves multiple problems and you have to hack all these solutions within a short period. This makes the learning curve steep which can be frustrating. Even when you think you have everything under control, you reach a point where you get stuck. I would wish for the interface to be simple and have an organized way through which each feature solves a particular problem. This would help you to learn how to use the product by way of what each feature does which would be simpler.
