Overall Satisfaction with SAP Sales Cloud
I use SAP as a service manager, to process orders for a specific customers that they purchase from us on their end of the portal. I also support our company representatives that utilize the portal on a daily basis for processing orders and order correspondence. We also utilize the portal to process order red borders, if the requested delivery date is not available, and to advise if there are any delays with a previously confirmed order.
- Order Communication
- Order confirmation
- Order Tracking
- Their customer support is very difficult to reach out to - there needs to be a better option to chat with customer support than to constantly be transferred to different departments.
- The help pages could be more informational and user friendly.
- Order Transparency
- Notifications of new orders
- Confirmation process and tracking
- A positive impact would be the fact that because we are only service managers for a customer we are not charged for additional user licenses.
- A negative impact on ROI is that it is too easy for customers to create duplicate SAP Ariba accounts when trying to add new users. (at one point there was an order submitted to the incorrect account and then had a delay in processing.
- To re-affirm my previous points it took us quite a while to get the accounts sorted out because of the lack of support expertise, and had MANY customer support calls before we figured out on our own that the duplicate account had been created (for an employee who was on maternity leave) and that that's where the new order went. THEN we still had to do additional account support calls to link the existing account to the new.
SAP CRM does not even begin to stack up against Zoho CRM, we use Zoho CRM as our Primary order processing system for all of our sales offices and it is much more user-friendly that our previous CRM software, Great Plains. We utilize SAP CRM Service Manager strictly for order receiving for several customers as they use SAP as their primary CRM software.
