How to read the Emotional Footprint
The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

What differentiates SAP Business Network from other similar products?
The sheer breadth of functionality of this kit. It is feature-rich, laden with very well thought-out functions and workflow. Everything you could possibly want is in this suite in bucket loads.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It comes as an extremely comprehensive piece of kit right off the shelf, but the sheer customisation options to help your individual business are exceptional. There is nothing this software can't do for your applications, and frankly it'll likely do things you hadn't even thought of!
What do you dislike most about this product?
It is intuitive, and the interface makes navigating and deployment as easy as it could possibly be, but this is so laden with features, functions and menus that at first the learning curve for adoption may seem extremely steep and overwhelming. Persevere, it is well worth it.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It has everything and more you could possibly need. So is this overkill for your individual needs? Consider carefully to make sure yo uhit that sweet spot balance of functionality vs usability.
Pros
- Effective Service
- Helps Innovate
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
