The SAP HANA system is not very easy to unlock, and it's something strange as, compared to other databases, when transaction logs are full, you stop the system, run the transaction log backups, and then restart.

Not very often, but it can happen, especially with user load; if many people use the system at the same time, there might be issues depending on various factors.

Room For Improvement

NetSuite OneWorld needs improvements in usability, inventory analytics, production planning, and performance to address user frustration and inefficiencies.

Organizations face challenges like adapting to new technologies rapidly, and whether customers are early or late adopters influences their experience.

Featured Reviews

Antonio Lira - PeerSpot reviewer
Territory Manager LATAM at LeaseWeb
Seamless subsidiary operation visibility with efficient accounting consolidation
One of the most valuable features that I appreciate is the ability to consolidate operations across subsidiaries, which makes accounting consolidation great. The multicurrency reevaluation offered by OneWorld enables consolidation from different branches, such as country or continent levels, making it a powerful feature. Additionally, there is visibility into all operations within the subsidiaries, facilitating awareness of sales, purchases, and manufacturing activities.
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.
