What I like most about SAP Integrated Product Development is that it keeps everything organized in one place and makes collaboration between teams much easier. Overall, it saves time and makes the whole development process smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike is that the platform can feel a bit complex at first, especially for new users. Some features take time to learn, and certain customizations or integrations may require technical support. The interface could also be a little more user-friendly in some areas.

I find SAP Integrated Product Development makes it easier to manage timesheets, as I just need to fill in the number of hours worked in a week. I like its very intuitive UI that adheres to the right WCAG accessibility standards with a very minimalistic design, which makes it easy to find timesheets. The initial setup is super easy; I just had to create an account and log in to access and fill the timesheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The SAP Integrated Product Development UI is very slow, with a wait time of about half a minute to load the page. The Home/Dashboard/Landing page could be optimized further to improve the loading speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how SAP Integrated Product Development helps us manage our drawings effectively and document change orders. It streamlines our engineering change management and bill of materials processes. Collaborating with different teams has become quicker, and sharing drawings is seamless. I find the AI assistant particularly helpful for simplifying the search for different drawings and benefitting from multiple other features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the UI of SAP Integrated Product Development could be improved a little bit because we have to make a lot of key transaction tools, and also the UI is not very user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was using for customer which was small and had limited CAD Users.Engineering stack was mostly non-SAP

Fast/simple and PLM deployment was the priority. We were able to acheive below with limited configuration,

Compliance

Strong traceability

Manufacturing integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration to CAD tools.

Difficult to configure and requires speical skills as it has many modules and workflows.External engineering tools ( Own governed) this were toughest to manage and connect. Configuration of Varaint happening outside was another challenge to integrate. Need standard templates per industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about SAP Integrated Product Development is its end-to-end visibility and the structured approach it brings across the entire product lifecycle. It helps enable seamless collaboration between teams from concept and design through sourcing, testing, and deployment, which supports better alignment and faster decision-making.

One of the main challenges with SAP Integrated Product Development is that it can feel complex and not very intuitive for users, particularly during the initial rollout. The learning curve is fairly steep, and without proper training in place, it can slow teams down and make early adoption more difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAP Integrated Product Development (IPD) excels by creating a seamless digital thread that connects R&D, procurement, and manufacturing within a single source of truth. By breaking down departmental silos, it enables concurrent engineering, allowing teams to plan the supply chain and production while the design is still being finalized. This integration significantly accelerates time-to-market and reduces costly errors by ensuring that any design change is instantly reflected across the entire enterprise.

Primary drawbacks stem from its high complexity and the significant resources required to maintain it. For many organizations, the steep learning curve and intricate user interface can lead to low initial adoption rates without extensive (and expensive) staff training. The implementation timeline is often long and costly, making it a heavy lift for smaller companies that might find the system's rigid structures more cumbersome than helpful.

What stands out most about SAP Integrated Product Development is how seamlessly it connects engineering, manufacturing, and business processes into one coherent workflow. It delivers genuine end-to-end traceability, starting with requirements and product design and continuing through manufacturing planning and cost evaluation, all within the S/4HANA environment. Because everything is so tightly integrated, change and configuration management become far more effective: engineering changes are immediately visible downstream, which helps reduce errors, rework, and delays. With earlier insight into cost, feasibility, and production impact, SAP IPD enables teams to make better decisions sooner in the development cycle and supports a reliable single source of truth across the organization.

What I dislike about SAP Integrated Product Development is the steep learning curve and the high level of process discipline it demands to be truly effective. The system can feel complex and heavy, particularly for engineering users who are more accustomed to specialized PLM tools, and the user interface isn’t always intuitive or easy to navigate. On top of that, implementation and customization can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, so organizations need strong change management and thorough training to fully realize the benefits.

This aids in cross platform data sync and get the bes t out of SAP. The data across multiple platforms, files and formats can be implemented using SAP for product development Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing else at the moment, but yes—the UI needs to be revamped. This is a major change, especially with the new Gen Z employees at work. It would help ensure they understand the language and the tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like SAP Integrated Product Development for its centralized platform for managing requirements and its ability to improve collaboration across teams. This ensures all requirements and changes are available in one place, which helps avoid confusion and improves test accuracy. It enhances collaboration by keeping all teams aligned, making communication smoother during testing and release cycles. It is very effective for managing product lifecycle and collaboration.

The UI and usability could be improved, and performance can sometimes slow when working with large data or complex workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It seamlessly connects product design, management, procurement, production, and maintenance processes, reducing manual work and data duplication. Teams can manage specifications, engineering changes, documents, and product structures from a single source of truth, improving accuracy and version control.

Deployment and configuration can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, especially for organizations with complicated workflows or legacy systems. The interface and functionality may feel overwhelming for new users, particularly for non-technical teams or occasional users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
