I like how it divides and breaks down data seamlessly, and how it provides faster solutions for errors since it uses everything natively. That said, the interface could be more user-friendly to reduce training time. Overall, it serves its purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface in general , it take long time to use on it specially if the user used another interface in his previous experience, its little bit complicated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like SAP Digital Manufacturing because it gives clear real-time visibility on the shop floor.

It also connects well with SAP S/4HANA, so planning and production work smoothly together.

Overall, it makes manufacturing easier to manage, faster, and more organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that SAP Digital Manufacturing can be complex to set up and learn.

It may also take time and cost more to implement properly.

For new users, the interface and integrations can feel difficult at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As someone deep into HVAC optimization and data analysis, what I love most about SAP Digital Manufacturing is how it turns a factory into a living, data-driven organism. It’s not just about tracking orders; it’s about the Production Process Designer. That low-code environment lets me bridge the gap between heavy industrial hardware and high-level logic without needing a massive dev team.

The Edge Computing capability is also a game-changer. It ensures that if the cloud flickers, the machines don’t stop—essential for maintaining the precision I look for in building operations. Plus, having native integration with S/4HANA means I get a "Digital Twin" of the entire floor. Comparing OEE across different sites becomes as intuitive as a gamer’s tier list, making it far easier to spot energy inefficiencies or predict equipment failure before it happens.

Well, the interface can feel unintuitive, and basic configuration need deep technical knowledge or extensive documentation. Get me slow down implementation and make new users hard to understand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about SAP Digital Manufacturing is the real-time visibility it brings to the shop floor while remaining tightly connected to core business processes. It lets you see production status, issues, and quality information immediately, which helps teams respond faster and make more informed decisions.

Another major strength is its native integration with SAP S/4HANA. Orders, master data, and confirmations move smoothly between manufacturing and ERP, reducing complexity and keeping execution aligned with planning, logistics, and finance.

Lastly, the fact that it’s cloud-based and operator-friendly makes it easier to scale across plants and adopt new innovations. The modern user experience supports stronger adoption on the shop floor, and the cloud model enables continuous improvement and future smart manufacturing use cases.

What I dislike about SAP Digital Manufacturing is that it can be complex and effort-intensive to implement, especially for companies without prior SAP MES experience. It’s a powerful solution, but to avoid overcomplication it really depends on strong process design, clean master data, and access to skilled SAP resources.

Another drawback is the limited out-of-the-box flexibility when you have very specific shop-floor requirements. In those cases, custom behaviors often require extensions on SAP BTP, which adds technical effort and increases dependency on specialized skills.

Cost is also a concern. Between licensing, BTP usage, implementation services, and ongoing support, expenses can add up quickly, making SAP DM a significant investment. For smaller plants or manufacturers with simpler needs, the overall cost may feel high compared to lighter or more specialized MES alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The SAP Digital Manufacturing enables the company to easily extend or connect new production lines to the SAP Ecosystem, without the need of having own developed system to manage it. It reduces our deployment time and costs, and eases on our integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAP Digital Manufacturing is not a custom tailor made product supporting manufacturing and it is not always covering every aspect of your production scenario, which leaves there occasionally the need to make compromises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAP Digital Manufacturing is natively integrated with the SAP ecosystem (for example, S/4HANA), which makes data transfer, integration, and end-to-end workflows very seamless. It also enables near real-time visibility across different teams and modules, such as Supply Chain and Finance. Overall, SAP Digital Manufacturing gives our employees on the floor clearer visibility into manufacturing operations and supports better production monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it’s a great solution and works very well, it’s also complex, so user onboarding tends to take longer. In a complex environment like ours, with legacy OT systems and additional third-party contractors involved in support, configuration and adoption can become challenging.

I really like the fluidity of SAP Digital Manufacturing. It's a program that doesn't crash often, which allows me to work easily. It's also good to be able to open multiple windows, which is quite useful because sometimes it's necessary to check where the stock is to create a reservation or a different order, so I can have multiple orders open at the same time. This really helps me not to waste valuable time, making the process quick and efficient. It's good because I can see what I need and get back to work without any issues.

The way we add orders to favorites could be simpler. Also, sometimes the system freezes a bit when it's time to print or things like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how SAP Digital Manufacturing is easy to integrate with our existing SAP architecture, allowing real-time manufacturing data to be used for placing purchase orders, inventory management, and supplier management. This seamless integration helps us automate the entire end-to-end business operation cycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is a little complex and there could be more user-friendly dropdowns and customization. It's difficult to remember SAP Digital Manufacturing tcodes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the real-time monitoring of production processes in SAP Digital Manufacturing because it lets me quickly spot and address issues before they impact output. I also appreciate the detailed analytics and reporting, which make it easier to optimize operations and improve efficiency across the factory floor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area that could be improved is the complexity of integrating it with legacy machinery and older systems. It would be helpful if there were more streamlined tools or guides to simplify onboarding new machines and data sources without extensive technical support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about SAP Digital Manufacturing is the way it connects the entire production process in real time. It brings shop floor operations, data analytics, and cloud-based insights together in a single platform, helping businesses improve efficiency and quality while also supporting better decision-making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the biggest challenges I’ve found with SAP Digital Manufacturing is the level of complexity and the effort required to implement it. Because it’s such a powerful, comprehensive platform, it often takes considerable time and specialised expertise to configure properly and to integrate fully with existing systems—especially in organisations that still rely on legacy infrastructure.
