Areas of SAP S_4HANA that could be improved or enhanced include the evolving aspects of the application over time. There are other SAP applications such as SuccessFactors and Ariba that integrate with SAP S_4HANA. In recent years, SAP introduced an addition called RISE with SAP, which allows companies to use cloud solutions instead of requiring their own premises hardware. SAP partners with cloud providers such as Azure, Amazon, and Google, assisting companies in migrating from hardware to cloud solutions. A challenge that arises is the lack of immediate expertise when raising tickets for problem resolution with SAP, leading to delays. We have asked SAP to improve this area to provide users with better benefits from the cloud solution, as we encounter this issue frequently.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool's usability is straightforward."
"It is an affordable ERP system and rich in functionality, providing good control of processes."
"The three most crucial pieces are the financial modules, the banking module, and the management module."
"I have found the solution has many valuable features such as a user-friendly mobile platform, notification settings, and the ability to do many customizations."
"I have found the user interface very modern and it has simplified many user jobs, such as the embedded logistics. They have introduced central finance which has been a benefit."
"The use of a memory-based database makes it more efficient."
"I have found SAP S4HANA to be scalable."
"I have been using SAP for more than 13 years and the new SAP S4HANA was not only a simple upgrade, they have made a lot of improvements. They have simplified a lot of the functions, the all-new interface gives users a better experience. The database itself is quite efficient in nature and it provides effective data queries. It is a good upgrade from the previous version of SAP R/3."
"As a finance professional, I appreciate the user-friendly interface and time-saving features."
"The key modules that I find most valuable are material management (MM), financial accounting and controlling (FICO), and human resources (HR)."
"I also work with Business One, and I find I need a lot of workarounds for it, but I find everything I need in S4/HANA."
"SAP S4HANA version 1909 is stable. We have not gone live with 2020 yet."
 

Cons

"Improvements could be made regarding user-friendliness and transitioning fully to a web version. Features like forex reconciliation and a cash flow planning module could enhance the solution."
"The reporting Module should be improved and a drag and drop functionality should be added."
"The system has enough controls, but still there is scope for improvement."
"The build-in dashboard and reporting customization should be improved."
"This solution can improve the Bill of Materials (BOM) and production planning."
"The user interface could be better. They have too much information on the interface, and our customers still keep complaining that it looks complex."
"I find the technical support from SAP to be very difficult to get as we do not have a one-window solution."
"The solution could have a better user experience. However, they are working a lot on the user experience and they have come up with various applications, such as mobile applications. This was lacking over the last two years."
"The product should improve its cost."
"I would not say it is a 100% stable."
"The initial setup was difficult."
"Pricing is one area where S/4HANA has room for improvement. It's too costly for many people."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten. Customizations can cost you extra money."
"The price of the solution is fair compared to competitors."
"The solution is moderately priced. The licensing cost is around sixty thousand USD for annual maintenance. If you're using an application-specific license, it is a little cheaper. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"It is on a quarterly basis. There are no additional costs. There is just the standard fee."
"It is very expensive. It is not cheap."
"It's quite expensive. However, it can be expensive to maintain the solution."
"The licensing format is complicated for SAP S/4HANA"
"Available at a high price"
