SAP
It's has all the functionality a proper CMMS tools required, it's act as a blueprint of what exactly all CMMS tools wants. All the features, costing, optimization, asset management all under one bucket. It's less appropriate for people who required simple UI, only some basic system or people with low budget. Because the cost for implementation is very high.

I think it well suited for organizations with a large and complex infrastructures as it can handle them very easily in my opinion. It is also recommended for companies which are planning to move to mostly automated environments, in which it can be implemented in a good manner. I also think it is not suited or less suited for smaller scale organizations as the cost of operation could exceed the budget.

The cost of SAP as an ERP is quite high and the switching costs associated with ERP systems are even higher. That being said moving from one ERP to another only happens once in a great while for large organizations. Those switching costs include retraining, IT hardware requirements, outside consultants and more

Usability
SAP
It's very detailed oriented but the UI is difficult to use. It requires proper training and good people to handle day to day activities. The functionality that SAP provides like, Asset downtime, cost optimization, settling of cost at work order level and the moving it to related cost centre, this defines the actual CMMS system which is very useful.

Day to day data insight is more accurate for manufacturing industry to procure as per forecasted from supplier. Supply and fulfillment cycle becomes more easier. I would say more about performance as we are using this new server so we can see clear difference between SAP S/4HANA Cloud and ECC. Also it has customized business extensions for rapid development.

SAP requires
a lot of internal and external resources to complete its successful
implementation. The cloud version requires a deeper understanding of the
different capabilities of the local systems (hardware) and the connection
towards your local IT team. We found several problems on our systems that we
couldn't foresee before the implementation and roll out.
