ERP Head at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Has automated many financial processes and improved transaction handling efficiency
I am satisfied with analytics and reporting to a certain level, but not completely. There are so many SAP providers and customer solutions to include manual warning reports. SAP S/4HANA also will not provide the detailed reports as users expect, but the system provides the ability to implement new reports. It does not reach that level completely. Around fifty to sixty percent of the system will solve business needs, but not entirely. In the reports area, especially in the customer reports area, there is a lot of room for improvement. It would be better to improve and also meet local requirements and localization. That needs to be addressed.

Pros

"Definitely take a look at this product and its offerings as it has a lot of useful features and could be used to simplify processes and day to day activities."
"Easy to use Rich functionality Complete corporate performance management solution Based on modern technology Cloud-ready All of them allow me to manage my business."
"Customer Service: It's excellent."
"The ability to budget on individual levels, i.e. by person for payroll, by vehicle for transportation, etc."
"It has enabled us to cut the budgeting process by 50% as well as making the budgets more acute."
"The biggest achievement is that now we do not have to use spreadsheets"
"The time saved by building variables to drive accounts inside the budgeting system, along with balancing accounts to spread increases or decreases based on different accounts or versions, more than makes up for the pricing of the software."
"I would say US$80K/year as it has automated the process and saved us from hiring a new analyst."
"SAP S/4HANA Finance definitely helps the business get real-time data instead of having a scheduled job chart with time lag in data."
"We cannot run our business without this software."
"The implementation of SAP S_4HANA Finance has helped our operations by reducing manpower considerably."
"The biggest benefit of SAP S/4HANA Finance is the stability of the solution, which brings the knowledge from SAP ECC systems."
 

Cons

"BI analytics Few related Ad Hoc Analyses in one window Sorting and filtering in Data View"
"I think the mobile capabilities could be improved."
"Discovery was not in depth enough for our deployment to be successful – we had a lot of problems and had to take short-cuts due to a lack of planning."
"At times, Prophix would crash if too many files were open."
"With the report writing there are some issues."
"There were problems in a certain version with the speed, but they have fixed this in later versions."
"Areas where you load your CapEx still need a lot of improvements. The Excel add-in is not as good as Hyperions."

"My experience with technical support from SAP is not that great."
"I definitely see room for improvement in SAP S_4HANA Finance for the future, as our client is looking for enhancements."
