What do you like best about SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC)?

The potential exists for very high performance - for a price. The product is extremely flexible. The upgrade from version 7.5 to version 10 was like night and day. The product appears to be under active development. Comparable to Oracle Hyperion Planning, but integrates very thoroughly with SAP Business Warehouse and makes exceptional use of HANA. If you are already using SAP products, this is a slam dunk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC)?

EXPENSIVE!!! And they push HANA down your throat. If you aren't using the full SAP ecosystem, the support is lacking. We purchased the product before SAP bought it and are still running it, but since we aren't running all the other SAP products, we don't get the support that we might want for what we are paying. Finally the technology is old-school compared with online products such as Tidemark or Adaptive Planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC):

If you aren't using the full SAP ERP and business warehouse, think really carefully. This product is expensive but it works best in that ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) solving and how is that benefiting you?

This product supports position level and in depth budgeting for the largest public university in the country, as well as supporting analysis year-round for the budget office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC)?

The best part about SAP EPM is the potential for reports users should be able to run from the system. Once the data is entered into the system, the reports have the potential to be manipulated in a variety of ways to best suit the user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC)?

From my experience, the biggest downside of this application is how data needs to be entered. I feel that the process is a largely manual one, and that the system overall lacks the ability of automation (at least at the onset of using the system). I also have run into a number of issues with the functionality of the system (i.e. when entering percentages, the percent signs will not appear as they are supposed to.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our main business problem that we are trying to diminish is to create an easier process of recording employee hours and running client profitability based on the Direct Labor expenses (i.e. the amount of time an employee is spending on a client vs. how much revenue the client is actually bringing in).

What do you like best about SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC)?

SAP is a great system we use for ticketing.

If there ever is something that needs to be updated within these systems, the support teams are always quick and pleasant in correcting any information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Inputting some information requires you to go outside of the ticket. It would be beneficial to incorporate everything inside one page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
