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."
"The most valuable features of Infor VISUAL are its powerful accounting, multicurrency functionality, and production aspects."
"It is really fast, and it is also very stable."
"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."
"SAP S/4HANA delivers all essential possibilities to customers for various sections. In the current modern age, we use SAP for graphical outputs, reports, and smartphone accessibility. If users want to see financial outputs via diagrams, we use SAP by Design. For specific confirmations via mobile app or web app, we use few other applications. If users want only source forms and not hard copies, we use AR forms."
"SAP S_4HANA positively impacts our organization by minimizing errors in daily work routines, providing a paperless environment, and allowing everyone to see organizational activities such as sales and purchases, customers, and vendors through centralized tracking of records in a single application."
"The system is good and not slow."
"I have found the user interface very modern and it has simplified many user jobs, such as the embedded logistics."
"The core accounting model is robust, so we don't have any issues with it. It has industry-specialized modules like retail, hospitality, and manufacturing. Many industrial-specific modules are very helpful. It's a very robust, reliable, and simple-to-use product. In my experience, it's straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the detail in all of the processes. The solution captures our policies and enables us to implement our policies in SAP. There are different models that address our needs."
 

Cons

"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."
"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."
"The product's high cost is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"MRP repost area should be improved. The production information report also needs to be improved."
"Every time I connect, it's very slow."
"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."
"I have found the solution to be stable but it could improve."
"SAP S/4HANA could improve by making the interface easier to use."
"The solution could improve by making customization easier. The on-premise version is a lot more flexible."
"The user interface should be much more convenient and user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is on a quarterly basis. There are no additional costs. There is just the standard fee."
"The tool's licensing is very expensive. They've changed their licensing model from the old ERP system to a new model using FUEs, which is somewhat better but still expensive."
"I rate the pricing a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is too expensive. It is an expensive tool."
"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 pricing model is based on an annual license."
"The solution's license cost is on the higher side."
"People concerned about the costs need to evaluate whether implementing this system is profitable."
"The price of the solution is reasonable but some modules can be expensive. When comparing SAP S4HANA to other solutions, such as Oracle, it is not expensive."
