Featured Reviews

Carlos  Cardona - PeerSpot reviewer
Operations Manager at Visual K
Powerful accounting functionality, easy to implement, and same day support response
There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible. In a future release, if they could add a CRM incorporated into the core of the solution that would be awesome. Additionally, a more flexible project model. They have a project model, but it's very challenging to set up values.
MuhammadNadeem3 - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager Sap at PTCL
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 most valuable features of Infor VISUAL are its powerful accounting, multicurrency functionality, and production aspects. We implement the manufacturing for many customers. These are the main goals of the solution."
"You can build S/4HANA in S/4HANA, and you can build SAP as your end-to-end SAP, which covers everything you need."
"It is a very scalable solution. We have enterprise-level businesses using this solution."
"SAP S4HANA is a robust solution."
"The initial setup is not complex; it's more at a medium level. Not too easy, but with the right knowledge, you can configure it."
"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."
"S/4HANA falls under a single terminal. We can easily access the data, and the performance is good."
"One of the things I like about it is its well-integrated and secure nature."
"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."
 

Cons

"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."
"There could be a bit more competitiveness in their licensing and pricing."
"The solution is complex technically because both an old and a new path exist."
"SAP S/4HANA is a robust front-end solution compared to other web technologies available. However, screen design in SAP EFI might not be as extensive."
"Planned Order List needs a change of screen."
"Lacks ability to easily mass upload which has become a necessity for industry."
"Every time I connect, it's very slow."
"The problem with the tool is that its complexity is very high."
"S/4HANA is like a ready-made suit, but it could be improved by adding more customization options, such as different colors and attractive themes in Fiori. From a functionality standpoint, there's always a workaround solution, and we've been working on SAP for the last 18 years."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"SAP S/4HANA is expensive."
"The pricing is a five out of ten, with ten being expensive and one being cheap."
"The pricing model is based on an annual license."
"There is a license required for the use of this solution and we are on a monthly subscription. The cost of the solution is expensive compared to other solutions."
"Licensing costs are not transparent"
"Though we are talking about a competitively priced model, the pricing could be more cost-effective."
"The solution's license cost is on the higher side."
"I have found the price of the solution is on the medium to the expensive side of the scale. There is a license for this solution and there are additional maintenance fees."
