Changes can be made quickly and easily for different scenarios. Many features allow flexibility and scalability, making it ideal for large industries with significant capital and customer bases.

SAP CRM

  • Our customers benefit from SAP CRM's 360-degree views and case management capabilities.
  • As a middleware business tool, case reporting is excellent, and it works well with WM systems to communicate with various departments.

SAP CRM

  • One of the things I don't like about "SAP CRM" is that there are no alerts or notifications which could warn when something happens within the platform.
  • It does not have integration with any type of social network.
  • The robust and unintuitive appearance makes it a bit complicated to use all its functionalities.

I know what SAP CRM can do in the future. We are very happy with the product and think it is a great choice for both SAP ERP users and even those who do not use other SAP products. We have both Salesforce and SAP CRM, and we feel that Salesforce is a good product for a few years, but SAP CRM is a more fully-featured product and is a better choice for complex organizations capable of running installed software of this complexity. It is often just a question of budget.

When we were not introduced to Salesforce, we were somehow managing with SAP CRM which allowed us to do a few tasks like lead assignment, managing partner access, service portal etc. as we have other modules of SAP but now we think marketing/sales needs more and we need visibility of leads more than what SAP CRM allow us.

My original trainer / implementation specialist was fantastic. That relationship has continued, even though I have been officially handed off to the customer service side. The customer service side seems to have higher turnover than normal, but in general they are also very supportive, although not as responsive as I might like.

SAP's customer service is quick and efficient, with a response time of fewer than some minutes. In either case, you'll get instant help from the vendor or online forums. In addition, the vendor provides excellent global support for this tool. Like Salesforce, SugarCRM, etc., it's probably fine as a standalone CRM option.
