Well, I've been using SAP Sales Cloud for 6 months now so my conclusions are that if your employees are techy friendly then I would recommend It, but if they are quite not used to advanced CRM tools could be a bit overwhelming at first. Pricing it's okay thought, compares to other tools I've used previously.

SMARTe offers multiple ways to support the prospecting activity, I tend to use the Chrome Extension to unlock contact details from LinkedIn Sales Nav. Given the difficulty in finding this information working in Europe, I have to admit that the tool does his job perfectly. Only thing that could be developed is ability to find details from smaller companies. Sometimes they are (and I understand why) difficult to find.

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.

Support Rating
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.

Implementation Rating
I would rate the implementation a 7. While the process overall was successful, there were challenges related to data migration, integration with other systems, and initial user adoption. However, the support from SAP during the implementation phase was helpful, and we were able to resolve the major issues as the process progressed.

Scalability
1. It much needed to the end-user like sales person and marketing team to read the real time analysis for better decision making and deal closing. 2. Cost calculation and tracking becomes easier on go. 3. HR department, sales and marketing teams are getting insights for further improvement of the process of sales and conversion rate. 4. Easier to know customer behavior and taste.
