Complicated = crappy when you are trying to get non-technical users to access and use the system.

I would hazard a guess that in most cases, the people responsible for the blueprinting and design phase of the initial SAP implementation for the company did not do a great job and/or did not ask the right questions of the business which resulted in rolling out an unwieldy solution for the company. We get used to designing software solutions to fit the business practices when I think once you have chosen SAP, you almost have to change your business practices to fit the SAP designed solution.
Another big red flag is when I see a ton of customer enhancements to a SAP implementation, I mean why purchase SAP if you then customize the heck out of it, you should then just get a hold of Bandwagon in Flames company to design a solution for you and bypass purchasing SAP entirely.
