Pros
"I believe Penta costs less than SAP"

More Penta Pros →

"The most significant elements of this solution are the ability to create a virtual product, a service product, and delivery.""I like the solution’s features in finance, supply chain, sales, and distribution.""It is a utility-focused solution, and the deployment is very much aligned with utility service providers. If you look at the supply chain and the overall business model of a utility service provider, SAP is something that fits very well. That's because the company has invested tremendously in creating appropriate workflows pertaining to this segment or domain.""It is a stable solution.""It has a lot of integrity of data, and it is fast. All the users feel that they can trust this data. So, data integrity is the most important value of SAP.""It is a comprehensive and robust solution. It can provide lots of functional features.""Overall the solution is very good in the industry.""SAP ERP offers a wide range of functional modules, including payroll, HR, financials, and others."

Cons
"However, the production guys tell me that Penta is not suitable for mass production. If we build a hundred cars per day or more, then we'll have problems. At the same time, I can't say whether the issue is Penta or our process. In other words, maybe we have too many manual projects in it."

More Penta Cons →

"Implementing SAP ERP can be very costly, particularly for smaller organizations with limited resources.""Its user interface should be improved.""The product does not update budgeting based on exchange rates which is important for BPM.""The version that we are using lacks in reporting. The reporting feature needs to be constructed more in this product. There can be better scope for mobility. They could include the technical development of reports instead of depending completely on programming. The programming method needs to be easy.""The product can be a little slow when dealing with thousands of employee data.""I believe there's room for improvement in terms of user experience.""It needs a more complete guidance with complete processes. Right now, it only has single transactions.""Reporting is why most companies need to acquire business intelligence add-on solutions, and when it comes to SAP ERP, they could improve the reporting graphical representation of the data."
