SAP Fiori Pros and Cons

SAP Fiori is much more user friendly than the classical SAP Graphic User Interface screens. Behind each tile there is a transaction code which a user won't need to memorize which is the case for GUI. It requires a tremendous work to configure each tile correctly and once done the tiles can be united into groups and assigned to a User profile. Fiori apps are intuitive thus require less investment into the intelligence of staff, less training effort. Enjoyable user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my experience it requires a lot of preparation work in advance to do the right configurations of Fiori apps and it is critical to get the right IT architect resource in place who would understand the requirements and do the job once without redoing it.

Not all transactions from ERP are converted to SAP Fiori applications, so SAP GUI must still be used in some cases. The cloud edition uses only SAP Fiori applications, and there are no classic SAP GUI screens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing is that less coding is required. So it reduces the development time.

You can quickly create applications and deliver to the client. Overall user experience is also good.

Basic functionalities could be achieved without any difficulty and extension points are available to fulfill specific functionalities.

Fiori has specific components to address the day to day requirements of the clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can create the components with annotations.

But there is very little scope to enhance ui using the css.

If you take the example of list report, if you want to have the custom width to columns then you have to save it to custom variant but gllobal filter doesn't pass in the custom variant. There is no option for column background/Row background.

These are the basic requirements for the client. Which must be addressed to enhance the usability of Fiori. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Contemporary design and more appealing/intuitive optical features as opposed to classic GUI

- Single point of entry for integrated system environments whereby entire system landscapes of an entreprise can be accessed through FLP Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Useful features for mass data processing not supported in native UI5 apps (e.g. upload from clipboard)

- Webgui-based Fiori applications are not optimized for in-browser usage which leads to inefficiencies in navigation (a lot of manual scrolling required) and a deteriorated user experience

- Analytical apps often too rigid in terms of simple configuration (e.g. peek preview and of purchasing spend only available in EUR (hardcoded) even though operational/functional currency is USD; if available currency conversion doesn’t follow currency configurations defined in back-end)

- FLP groups do not allow for easy way of sub-structuring (e.g. Finance Transactional Accounting as main group, then option to create sub-group per line of business would be nice to have)

- FLP should allow for basic sorting and layouting of Fiori groups (e.g groups in drill-down navigation list should be sortable by alphabet, within groups blank rows or line feeds should be allowed to crete logical groupings, etc.)

- Better integration with SOLMAN executables desirable for easier analysis on which operational roles have which apps assigned Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAP Fiori Guideline really bring a fresh take on old SAP Logon UI.

Before SAP Fiori / UI5 I used to hate working with SAP because UI felt like straight from 90's

I understand the amount of complexity that goes behind it and features that it make user available

but still the UX was not good for me at least who before working with SAP has worked with modern tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAP Fiori, like Apple inc keeps you entangled within SAP ecosystem.

Would love to see more openness to connect with Non-SAP tech stack, although atleast with SAP Fiori & ui5 there is some way possible to do this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The web based interface is intuitive and less busy than a standard SAP screen. This brings SAP forward in the ERP industry and allows users to experience SAP without weeks of training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None of the standard apps really fit much need for the business. It really does require a lot of customization to make it useful. Though this is nothing new in the SAP landscape. While this is the case, it is not difficult to create or change Fiori application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Mobility: Seamless experience on every device.

2. Security: Easy to create roles for catalogs and groups. GRC helps in automatic assignment of roles on approvals. No human have to intervene to provide single role every time.

3. Flexibility: Can work with Screen Personas and SAPUI5 developed Apps.

Taking the advantage of hardware present on mobile devices a good native application can help in providing solution required for mobility
