AI automation saves time and simplifies financial processes
The data entry process is very time-consuming. Without using options like ODA, manually entering data in the GLS screen or Oracle invoices is a time-consuming job. The screens could be improved, as a lot of mouse clicks are required, and multiple fields need to be entered. Although it has a workaround with spreadsheets, the screen interface could be better.
Sajid Farooq - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides seamless integration of different modules in one place
Certain add-ons like quality control, payroll, and HRMS are not part of the SAP S/4HANA Cloud. SAP S/4HANA Cloud doesn't provide a quality control module. SAP S/4HANA Cloud does not have its own payroll and HRMS system. The partners develop their own cloud and integrate with the solution. There are certain modules specific to some industries, and SAP S/4HANA Cloud doesn't deal with those modules. Every partner of SAP S/4HANA Cloud has to develop its own and then integrate and certify with that solution. We can't say that these modules are part of SAP S/4HANA Cloud. There is a little area of improvement that SAP has to opt for particular types of solutions like QC, payroll, and HRMS. The graphics of SAP S/4HANA Cloud are not user-friendly. They don't look like they belong to a branded solution that costs too much. The solution's user interface is not appealing or user-friendly. On a scale from one to ten, where one is bad and ten is good, I rate the solution's user interface a five out of ten. SAP S/4HANA Cloud has built-in reports that are hard-coated. We have to alter or modify built-in reports in different marking segments, but there are no options for that. We have to build complete reports from scratch, and SAP-developed reports are not used in the market. SAP should provide a tool for customizing its developed reports so that there should not be a process of reengineering or reinventing the process.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like the tool’s financial and human capital management features."
"The best part of Oracle ERP Cloud is that everything can be found in a single place."
"Unlike traditional ERPs, where adding a column is customization, personalization is in the tool. OTBI is built-in, providing many pre-delivered reports and dashboards. It's cloud-based, so it's OpEx instead of CapEx. Oracle Integration Cloud Services offers pre-delivered APIs for easy integration with systems like payroll and Salesforce."
"What's most valuable in Oracle ERP Cloud is that it's one of the largest ERPs available in the market and it has a lot of customization features. It also has a lot of flexibility and integration options that work with other applications. Many of the customers also migrate to the cloud, so Oracle ERP Cloud is a preferred solution."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is a well-established and well-known product that is cost-effective for the customer."
"Built-in business intelligence has real-time reporting features that are quite handy."
"The technical support services are good and can resolve most of our issues."
"Smooth patches and upgrades which reduce costs and time for having a new version."
"If anyone wants to check data, like dashboards, S/4HANA also provides those facilities via Fiori apps. S/4HANA delivers everything related to the business process."
"We like the web portal or interface, which is great. The user experience is much better than the current traditional SAP landscape."
"SAP S4HANA Cloud is one of the best products in enterprise solutions, especially in manufacturing, retail, logistics, wholesaling, and distribution."
"The integration between SAP EWM and S4HANA Cloud is seamless."
"Both standard and customized integrations work well with no issues."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"S/4HANA Cloud is very stable."
"It is good in data analytics and helps in data analytics."
 

Cons

"For economically weak countries, the solution's price appears expensive"
"The data entry process is very time-consuming."
"We did face some challenges during the implementation of Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP. Certain requirements were not met by the standard functionality, so we had to customize and build custom applications on top of the solution. But overall, I think it stacks up well as a standard product."
"UI is not very presentable for a cloud solution."
"I would like to improve the tool’s budgeting and reporting. I know that Oracle is working on the tool’s analytics part so I expect the analytical feature in its future releases."
"There are two main areas for improvement. First, the licensing and pricing model confuses customers, especially after going live. Different components like EPM, ERP, and OIC are charged differently. Second, the manufacturing functionality needs more maturity, especially for non-process-based manufacturing. We've raised this with Oracle, and they've acknowledged it. They might address it in future patches."
"Oracle can make the system more stable which includes some changes as some of the use cases were not available in Oracle's systems and the element’s value needed to be defined."
"The main thing Cloud ERP could improve is usability. However, it's not just an issue with Oracle. Most ERP solutions are not very user-friendly, so I think that could be the key improvement."
"The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."
"Public cloud is single-tenant so there are limitations on what can be customized."
"It's a huge software, and they need to make it look less complex and more user friendly. They need to work on user stories and user experiences."
"The user interface of SAP S/4HANA Cloud needs to be improved because it is not as good as other applications."
"The solution's speed and dashboard could be improved."
"It's not easy to facilitate the solution between us and SAP, so we have had to leave those issues open."
"We have encountered challenges with integration projects, particularly between SAP and non-SAP systems, which have caused delays."
"The reporting aspect needs improvement, specifically in integrating the EWM and MM modules into a single report."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."
"The tool’s price must be improved."
"The solution is expensive and there are some services that are extra costs."
"It is too costly."
"For an ERP Cloud, the pricing is relatively high."
"The product pricing is based on a per-user model. It is expensive."
"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."
"The pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud is on par with other top solutions."
"SAP S/4 Hana isn't cheap, but its value depends on how much you can leverage from it. It's not just about the system but how well your people are trained to use it and adapt to derive benefits."
"The solution’s pricing is very high."
"The pricing model can be complicated in certain scenarios."
"Pricing wise, SAP S4HANA Cloud is very expensive. The licensing cost can be 100,000 euros per year, depending on the number of users in your company."
"The license for S/4HANA is expensive, and the licensing structure is hard to understand. The admin license is something like 500 euros per user. Other ERP solutions allowed you to pick only the modules you need. The SAP ECC version requires you to take all the modules even if you are not using them."
"Its pricing is way over any of the other ERPs. I'd rate it one out of ten in terms of pricing."
"The pricing of SAP S/4HANA Cloud is on the higher side."
"The solution's costs have significantly increased, and we have not seen any anticipated cost savings."
