  • Customization of some timestamp functions for a country other than the United States is relatively limited.
  • As well as the Spanish language does not have support or usability on the platform, which although it is not a major inconvenience if it slows down the use for some of our collaborators.

I am not part of the team that makes this decision but I would recommend renewing the contract. Most employees at Tennant are long term employees and would find it difficult to change to a different software. They are comfortable using SAP.

I give the rating of an 8 because the users in my company have little or no complaints when using the software. There are many features and add-ons for the program which allow for deep customization that they can tailor to each client individually which allows them to provide world-class services that help our firm succeed. On top of the features, implementation is seamless, and creating accounts is a breeze from the Administration side.

They are great, their support and knowledge in the implementation and after-sales service was really incredible.

Although the cost of its tailor-made reporting service is somewhat expensive and inflexible, once the survey was carried out and the plan was drawn up, it was fully fulfilled in a timely manner.

We miss a support in our native language, since we only find English as a means of contact with them.

Implementation Rating
SAP requires
a lot of internal and external resources to complete its successful
implementation. The cloud version requires a deeper understanding of the
different capabilities of the local systems (hardware) and the connection
towards your local IT team. We found several problems on our systems that we
couldn't foresee before the implementation and roll out.

Previously we had implemented Azure Cloud Services which had cost us excessively compared to SAP cloud. Also I found the user interface easier to work with compared to the azure cloud as well. Overall the features are really good compared to Azure and cost is also less compared to it

The support for the implementation and the customization services in custom reports made us decide on CS Professional Suite.

Return on Investment
  • Surpasses many well reputed applications in terms of performance and data insight when you are into SAP products
  • More reliable and secure as we are not going to create multiple copy of master data, one single shared master data and all will work like charm
  • For authentication we can also use Microsoft MFA or Google single sign-on , so less complexity
  • For customized business process, we can implement extension packages which are like templates

  • Not authorized to view the large scale picture of Thomson Reuters CS Suite on ROI, however, it has been a part of the business model for years with constant updates and is only getting more and more efficient as time goes on.
