I think SAP manufactures very good software, which is also seen by the success of the company worldwide. But SAP is not alone, there are various other providers of standard software with which SAP is competing.
SAP software is very extensive and complex. You can't just put SAP products in a few minutes and then everything goes perfectly to the operation. It is often necessary for a tailor-made solution from SAP specialists to get into the house in the form of consultants. Large companies sometimes have in-house SAP experts and developers.
SAP software best unfolds its effect in large enterprises and in industry, in which a large, difficult to handle amount of data is obtained anyway. If there are further requirements, eg compliance – requirements and an extremely flexible reporting, SAP will definitely make sense. For a small business, on the other hand, I consider SAP products to be less sensitive, since, in relation to the low revenues and the small data complexity, spending on SAP should be much too high.
What does SAP cost?
You can't say that easily. Implementation costs can be incurred, as well as one-time and running (per month or per year) licensing costs. Then costs for additional operating range-specific modules.
For SAP products for medium-sized companies (BusinessOne), for example, there is this price information: https://www.business-one-consultancy.com/sap-business-one/prices-and-costs.html
The SAP S/4 HANA for the large customer area and the industry, on the other hand, is nothing for the small wallet. Depending on the operating size, modules, customer-specific implementation and maintenance, etc., several hundred thousand euros per year are gone, even much more is there. This is not a product such as MS Office, which is more or less clearly outlined in terms of content, but here a very extensive software is usually specifically adapted to a customer "Customizing", whereby SAP consultants earn a golden nose with it and, in addition, the comparability between the effective costs for SAP producers in different companies is made more difficult.

SAP is not a product, but a manufacturer.
They are products for large companies for goods management, energy billing etc.
There is only little competition that is used similarly successfully.
Depends on what you understand under "good", what SAP product you mean and what it is used for.
Depends on what you need.
SAP is about databases. If you do not have a decent database, it is quite labor-intensive, for example, to manage a planning of the workers in different locations.
Or to create project work or schedules of a school … … …
Work with SAP
And in my eyes it's the last shit. Work very hard with it. But nothing helps.
