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."
"I like the user experience and usability of SAP Fiori, which is one of the main features that we are using."
"The solution provides real-time compliance and auditing"
"S/4HANA offers a lot of additional capability with respect to performance due to its in-built architecture for many functions including finance, production, quality, manufacturing, inventory or sales distribution and logistics."
"I have no issues with the stability of the product, as everything seems to be fine."
"SAP S4HANA is a robust solution."
"Personally, from the functionality point, I think it is one of the best products."
"It provides a cohesive user interface, even when building applications outside SAP with the OpenUI framework, offering a seamless customer experience."
"I think SAP S/4HANA is one of the best in the market."
 

Cons

"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."
"The two things that need to be improved are price and customization."
"In future releases, I would like to see more availability zones and VPCs so customers have more freedom to choose"
"The user experience could improve. In recent years, SAP has acquired different third-party applications and integrated them into SAP S_4HANA, which was a good opportunity for users. However, as a consultant and super user, I believe SAP S_4HANA is a good tool, but the user experience takes time to learn."
"The user interface is less friendly."
"During my time with Angleton, we relied on a private cloud, and accessibility became literally impossible whenever the cloud service provider experienced downtime."
"The initial setup was difficult."
"I have found the solution to be stable but it could improve."
"The solution could have a better user experience."
