EPM Live vs. SAP PPM

I think EPM Live might be the right solution for a much smaller company, who does mainly business to business material sales. As a software company with a ramped subscription model and heavy use of Salesforce, it was not well suited to our business.

With SAP PPM is an amazing experience to manage production projects, data analytics productions are also effective as well as reporting on multiple operations from different projects and a very great system for our team to collaborate for profitable project outcome and easy file management.

• The features are easy and flexible but they can be improved.
• Budgeting capabilities requires upgrading.
• Multiple project management capabilities.

The product is just not fitting our needs so we are looking at other alternatives. The system has gone down 3 times in the last 6 months and was down for at least half a day, timesheets have duplicate tasks, and it takes too long to save and submit. When trying to process updates it randomly changes our dates so we have to go back and fix them, sometimes tasks are lost and the system is just very confusing and hard to manipulate

We get support when needed.
