Manager at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
Good solution for finance in general but falls short on the manufacturing side
There is room for improvement when it comes to reporting and the manufacturing piece in general. I would like to see more of a complete solution with the operations end of the business, namely the quality management system and the production pieces. It's very good at project costing, cost accounting, accounting and finance in general. Where it falls short is the manufacturing side. Overall, the solution is very difficult to use and learn. The learning curve is difficult. Also, the GUI and user interface are not intuitive.

Integrated workflows have streamlined hiring, purchasing, and daily operations across departments
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 stability of the solution is fine."
"It is very good at project costing, cost accounting, accounting and finance in general."
"SAP S4HANA is a robust solution."
"The ability to optimize performance by allowing both data transactions and analytics on a single platform is particularly valuable."
"I have received excellent support from SAP."
"The in-memory processing capability is most valuable."
"One of the things I like about it is its well-integrated and secure nature."
"I think SAP S/4HANA is one of the best in the market."
"We use SAP S4HANA in a distribution business; we have the main site which purchases all material for management and then it goes through the main warehouses to the distribution sites, with finance controls, sales, and distribution already there with the treasury added on top of the project."
"It provides a cohesive user interface, even when building applications outside SAP with the OpenUI framework, offering a seamless customer experience."
 

Cons

"Overall, the solution is very difficult to use and learn. The learning curve is difficult. Also, the GUI and user interface are not intuitive."
"The user interface should be much more convenient and user-friendly."
"The problem with the tool is that its complexity is very high."
"It is not a very good product from the perspective of ease-of-use."
"If S4HANA has more AI and machine learning, it will be better and easier for reporting and dashboarding."
"Introducing better functions to our customers with the Fiori app is not easy for consultants."
"Lacks ability to easily mass upload which has become a necessity for industry."
"SAP support provides resolves all our problems, but the response time is slower than our customers expect. Maybe it's because they have such a large customer base and are always occupied, but that's one area all our customers mention."
"The solution could be more user-friendly for regular users and developers."
