User Testimonials
IRIS CRMSAP Sales Cloud
Likelihood to Recommend
The cost is a little higher than other CRM software options, so IRIS CRM is better suited for larger organizations. It is great when multiple departments and functions are accessing sales data, as the software is fairly comprehensive in retention of sales related data. It is also great for generation of processing stats and simple reports. Calculation of rolling opportunities data is made easy. It is less appropriate for smaller sized companies with many novice users looking for high levels of customization. The software is highly capable, but the company isn't as well established as some others so some custom features can take time to implement.

1. Better understanding of customer choice and sales insights. 2. High chance that we can convert the lead into sales as SAP analyzes the customer's need and behavior. 3. As it analyzes the data behind the scenes, a better price deal closing is possible, as it gives that level of insight.

Pros
  • Grouping is done very effectively. For a company with a wide product portfolio, it is greatly beneficial to customize product families.
  • Streamlines the life cycle of merchant services very well. E-signatures, workflows, and help tickets are well integrated to maximize efficiency.
  • Processing stats and reporting tools are intuitive, useful, and aesthetically pleasing. The software allows you to quickly generate sales reports for specific product families and time periods.

Cons
  • It needs a solid visual invigorate to stay aware of the occasions.
  • I have found it as a little pricey.
  • The execution timetable took longer than we had arranged.
  • The framework has a solid utility and usefulness, yet it looks somewhat dated.

  • One area of concern is the many data silos that are present within SAP sales cloud
  • While creating filters for accessing sales lead reports, the accuracy is missing sometimes.
  • The product is quite vast and a lot more learning material and knowledge base documents are required.

I know what SAP CRM can do in the future. We are very happy with the product and think it is a great choice for both SAP ERP users and even those who do not use other SAP products. We have both Salesforce and SAP CRM, and we feel that Salesforce is a good product for a few years, but SAP CRM is a more fully-featured product and is a better choice for complex organizations capable of running installed software of this complexity. It is often just a question of budget.

Usability
It is a wonderful software with an automated messaging service. It has helped us in having a better knowledge of our customer’s needs, preferences, and habits, and by knowing all these we have improved our business. Security is my basic concern and the fact that it has a disabled human element from the business equation are the things that I don’t really like in it.

SAP's customer service is quick and efficient, with a response time of fewer than some minutes. In either case, you'll get instant help from the vendor or online forums. In addition, the vendor provides excellent global support for this tool. Like Salesforce, SugarCRM, etc., it's probably fine as a standalone CRM option.

I would rate the implementation a 7. While the process overall was successful, there were challenges related to data migration, integration with other systems, and initial user adoption. However, the support from SAP during the implementation phase was helpful, and we were able to resolve the major issues as the process progressed.

One of the most outstanding features of SAP Sales Cloud is its easy integration with our existing SAP ecosystem. This was essential because we used SAS/4HANA in our operations. Its ability to have a single platform that easily integrates sales data with other company operations was a huge advantage for us. In contrast, some of the other systems we explored required significant changes or integration work, which would have raised our overall costs and level of complexity.
