SAP Service Cloud is well suited with its omni-channel capabilities giving the possibility to collect service requests from different channels like phone, e-mail or CTI telephony. It also has nice User Interface (when it comes to desktop version). On the other hand SAP Service Cloud needs to be definitiely improved in terms of mobile app, which is horrible and it has limited development possibilities.

Sugar Serve is best to be used for medium and large businesses. It helps you to understand your customers' moods. Its mood survey is the best thing that I can get from any other tool. It helped me to understand the customer's mood and on that analysis, I can discuss the problem and can help them accordingly. It just needs to add more auto-messages or gifs.

Cons
  • Integrating SAP Service Cloud with non-SAP systems can be challenging, i faced some hurdles when my IT team took 3 months to integrate the billing data from some other vendor and the system would run slow if you try to pull billing data
  • Slow loading of the pages as compared to other consumer tech softwares we use
  • Implementation costs and complexity of implementation makes it an option only for large enterprises with huge IT teams (and it can take a few months to implement)

  • The interface that works with other systems is not ready, it lacks extensibility by default.
  • It necessitates the presence of a responsible someone with some programming skills.
  • The problem is especially noticeable with custom objects. Elements that should be removed remain, or an error occurs, making it a bit useless.

SAP Service Cloud offers sturdy competencies for case control, workflow automation, and purchaser engagement. However, since our organization continues to be within the early assessment section, we have not but experienced its complete potential. Once fully applied and custom designed to our desires, the score can also increase as we investigate usability and integration with other SAP solutions.

I have found that sometimes issues reported to the SAP takes more time also they lack system support with respect to the priority . Also we don't see RCA for the issues raised. Also turn around time for the issues is not fixed as the support is global sometimes the issues float here and there.

We evaluated oracle service cloud before using SAP Service Cloud. Oracle was strong in handling structured service processes and an enterprise-grade support environment. But the company had long-standing relations with SAP, which made our choice easy because the integration was straightforward with existing tools, and our teams were familiar with other SAP tools. So we decided to go with it.

At the enterprise level it has facilitated our decision-making, as it allows us to visually capture the big picture and eliminates complicated management requirements. Sugar Serve ensures organizational integrity by allowing us to present it across multiple departments and work together, sharing information accurately. The advantage of being able to customize and improve each time depending on the application allows us to carry out specifications in some departments.
