    SAP is best suited for large global corporations. It is a very complex software and is difficult to come by individuals who have sufficient enough knowledge to master the product. Globally our company only has 1 person to support us in IT for SAP. It is great if you use a more complex web host such as SFCC as you can make connections to SAP for returns, inventory, price updates, etc.

    • Need to have a good understanding of the SAP ecosystem to implement and use it.
    • From a cost perspective it can be little bit on the expensive side for enterprises.
    • The platform is still new and hence more subjected to bugs. But support for it is always good from the SAP team.

    I would greatly acknowledge the services of Sap Data [warehouse Cloud] because we were struggling before its arrival where we used to get manual data connections and this used to consume a lot of time but after its use, we now are able to connect data easily saving a lot of time and finances.
