"I appreciate the reliability and performance of SAP S/4HANA on AWS.

It effectively covers a broad spectrum of business areas, which is beneficial."

"The solution is scalable."

"This solution has one of the most modern databases and it is very stable."

"There are two main features that we find very valuable. One is the interface and the new user experience. That's really, really helpful for the end-user. The second is the HANA database itself because it speeds up the process. In other solutions, like Oracle, there is a lot of redundancy that slows things down."

"The tool covers many modules, like production, planning, management, and finance. It is a very scalable tool that can be beneficial for any company."

"SAP S4HANA on AWS has high performance. All the data is in one place and it's real-time. When you make an entry you don't have to wait a couple of minutes, hours, or overnight as something the batch process takes time. It is instantaneous and is available to everybody."

"SAP S4HANA on AWS is an easy-to-use solution."

"The solution has encryption which we did not have before."

"Businesses are particularly interested in process automation, mobile, and web applications. These are the areas that SAP S4HANA is and should be looking to improve on, especially in terms of streamlining processes and automating certain steps."

"Sometimes, the tool has bugs."

"The AI aspect of SAP S4HANA can be improved."

"The product can be very complex."

"The user-friendliness is questionable."

"There are a few complexities when it comes to licensing that could be simplified."

"There are times when the solution can become slower. The stability could improve."

"SAP S4HANA on AWS could improve by having the entire solution available as a web solution. They only have Fiori right now, and it's a solution for certain modules, but not for all the modules that SAP currently has. We would like to see the GUI removed, it is not very good. We want it to be web-based."

"Our account representative was inexperienced, they could improve on how they are managing accounts."

"Compared to its competitors, SAP S4HANA on AWS is a costly solution."

"It's expensive. It would be good if AWS and Azure could reduce the computing cost for people who move to the public cloud."

"I would rate the pricing as a two and a half out of five."

"There are additional modules-wise, it's needed for modules, and also for any new functions."

"We pay an annual subscription fee for the solution, which is slightly expensive."

"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest price, I rate the solution's pricing an eight."

"The vendors have different pricing, ways of serving, security, and providing the service. You go and compare the offerings. Some might be better with smaller companies. For example, Microsoft Azure can handle small and medium-sized companies best but still can cover some large companies. Whereas Amazon AWS and IBM are going to cover sized companies. There's no clear advantage. Probably Amazon AWS may have been the first to be certified by SAP as a cloud-hosting partner. Then Microsoft Azure and IBM were certified at the same time. You have to partner up and be certified by the software."

"It is a significant investment, around six hundred thousand dollars, and it involves both a one-time on-premises installation on servers and a cloud subscription with different flavors for SAP S4HANA."

"The solution is a bit expensive, we are still negotiating the price."
