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."
"The three most crucial pieces are the financial modules, the banking module, and the management module."
"It is an affordable ERP system and rich in functionality, providing good control of processes."
"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."
"SAP S/4HANA is a comprehensive ERP solution that provides better performance."
"S4HANA is a completely integrated solution. It's an end-to-end ERP system with strong manufacturing and financial integration, which is not common among ERPs. And it's a solution that's driven by industry best practices."
"I like the user experience and usability of SAP Fiori, which is one of the main features that we are using."
"SAP offers specific functions related to my data use case."
"The way SAP has helped our customers is by establishing a discipline where industry-specific operations and SAP's standard processes work hand in hand."
"SAP S4HANA provides a solution towards a green industry, and they keep making different versions of the solution to meet the needs of different industries, such as automotive and utilities."
"Personally, from the functionality point, I think it is one of the best products."
"The solution can scale well."
 

Cons

"The reporting Module should be improved and a drag and drop functionality should be added."
"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 system has enough controls, but still there is scope for improvement."
"The build-in dashboard and reporting customization should be improved."
"The disadvantages of this product include the lack of integration with platforms like LinkedIn."
"A challenge that arises is the lack of immediate expertise when raising tickets for problem resolution with SAP, leading to delays."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced and made more cost effective."
"With the public cloud, now everything is being pushed into BTP. This has created challenges, as it requires us to redo our coding and development."
"I think that the cost is a big area of concern, considering what users get out of the tool."
"The theory-side of the solution needs to be improved."
"This solution can improve the Bill of Materials (BOM) and production planning."
"So, there is room for improvement in pricing. HANA is not a simple product; it's quite complex by design."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is fair compared to competitors."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten. Customizations can cost you extra money."
"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."
"The pricing is a five out of ten, with ten being expensive and one being cheap."
"The problem with SAP is that it offers two licenses, namely runtime license and enterprise license. If you have a runtime license, then you are doomed since you can't take any data out from the tool."
"The tool's price can be reasonable for large organizations, but it might not be suitable for small organizations with a small number of users."
"Regarding pricing, I don't regularly deal with the financial aspects, but it is not a cheap solution."
"The solution often does not survive our shortlist round because it is very expensive when compared to other products."
"As for pricing, it depends on the business size and flow. If it's a medium-sized business, it might seem affordable, but for larger businesses with complex processes, it could be considered expensive."
"This is not the cheapest solution on the market, so you need to invest seriously in it. As a solid product, it has a solid price. It's definitely one of the more expensive tools on the market, but it's also one of the best products on the market."
"Its pricing could be better."
