SAP BW/4HANA Pros and Cons

I always enjoy how well the SAP systems and programs work together - if everything within a company is SAP, they'll at least sync up well and make sure your information transfers from one program to another. SAP is a major player in this space, and as such has strong support and market presence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As with most SAP systems, if the program isn't customized, the interface can be cumbersome, outdated, and difficult to work with unless one has had extensive training. The program is not as intuitive as it could be, and would most likely be easier to use if a company makes some changes and customizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
