Pros

Invoicing is a strength. The invoices produced are clear, correct and legible.
We have found some decent time-saving solutions within its project management suite, including an excellent task organizer.
Installation of the software is a snap due to the cloud solution.

Visual routing ensures the production line layout is as appropriate as shown on the application.
Production house needs a lot of data to do an in-process inspection of the product. ERP might not need that. SAP ME provides that place to do every data collection.
Nonconformance functionality ensures when needed the product goes to the appropriate station to get repaired. Also, data collection can raise NC and can move the product to a particular station to get an issue corrected.
All the information is well integrated with SAP ERP and makes SAP ME more valuable for the organization.
SAP MII also comes along with SAP ME helps to get the application well integrated with the shop floor equipment.

Cons

Unfortunately, usability is a major issue at times. I hear complaints about dropped network traffic, and it's not our infrastructure.
The interface is confusing. We have to train new employees with a lot of detailed instructions which shouldn't be necessary.
We have had to pay for any support on the above issues.

Alternatives Considered

We selected 24SevenOffice because the vendor made a lot of promises and demos related to network uptime and features. None of this ended up being exactly correct in real life. I have never used any other PM software so I can't really speak to how it compares in a lot of those ways.

There was no product evaluated before using SAP ME. This replaced the custom homegrown MES system. The custom MES system had a lot of issues with the integration with SAP ERP. While evaluating the situation, SAP MII was the initial tool used to create the integration of the custom MES. We later found the fully functional tool SAP ME off the shelf had several functionalities out of the box.

Return on Investment

We were using a fairly similar program from an ROI perspective previously so I can't say it's had a big effect.
That said the network issues represent lost hours/money.
The added training is also expensive.

Less paperwork improved means less unproductive work on the shop floor.
