What do you like best?
SAP Data Management is one of the most efficient software available today. It helps you to store data, extract data, approve purchase orders and allows you to perform a number of other tasks. It has visibility with respect to the management level and hence, not everyone can view everything which makes it even more better. For functions you use daily in SAP, you can bookmark them making it easy to access. There are various filters available that help you to give the exact data you want, improving speed and efficiency of the system. SAP also has an easy downloadable excel format which comes handy if the data has to be analysed. Entering data on to SAP is also very easy. The Business Intelligence associated with SAP is a boon.
What do you dislike?
The major part of SAP that I dislike it if the data that has to be extracted is large, and it is taking a lot of time while you minimize SAP and do something else, SAP disconnects you from the server and logs you out of the system. This causes a wastage of time in waiting plus you need to start the process again. Another disadvantage of SAP is that it has a lot of options. For a beginner, it would always be difficult to get to the right place and extract the right data.
