Empowered decision-making accelerates with enhanced analytics capabilities
In my opinion, areas of SAP S/4HANA that have room for improvement would be in AI and insights generation, which would be a good enhancement for the future. Currently, this analytics is still driven by some sort of structured reporting system. Although it is easier, you still need to do some configuration of it. With AI functionality, you could just prompt and request the information, and then the version would quickly be revealed to you.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have found the solution has many valuable features such as a user-friendly mobile platform, notification settings, and the ability to do many customizations."
"The tool's usability is straightforward."
"The three most crucial pieces are the financial modules, the banking module, and the management module."
"The finance solution and procurement functionalities are good."
"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."
"SAP S_4HANA has delivered significant financial benefits to my organization because it helps us make better financial decisions."
"Many prebuilt scenarios are included."
"The solution's most valuable feature is integration."
"The user interface of SAP S/4HANA is user-friendly."
"S4HANA is relatively stable."
"The overall product rating is ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The build-in dashboard and reporting customization should be improved."
"Improvements could be made regarding user-friendliness and transitioning fully to a web version. Features like forex reconciliation and a cash flow planning module could enhance the solution."
"The reporting Module should be improved and a drag and drop functionality should be added."
"The analytics part of SAP S/4HANA needs to be improved"
"I find the technical support from SAP to be very difficult to get as we do not have a one-window solution."
"Support is a challenge. The effectiveness of the SAP support paradigm depends on particular skills."
"This solution works with the configuration, if the prerequisites are very clear and can be configured it works perfectly. If you need to simulate something, as a predictive tool this kind of simulation is not very accurate and it has limitations. This is something that could improve."
"The user interface should be much more convenient and user-friendly."
"I would like to see improvements in the graphical user interface and core modules in SAP S/4HANA. Even after 20 years, there haven't been developments in these areas. The purchase order, sales order, and core modules like CRM have remained unchanged. The financial data and modules have also stayed the same. Fiori is available but hasn't brought many changes to the core modules."
"SAP is seen as quite expensive even now. It doesn't work for smaller or medium optimizations."
"The migration to SAP S/4HANA is hard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is fair compared to competitors."
"The solution is moderately priced. The licensing cost is around sixty thousand USD for annual maintenance. If you're using an application-specific license, it is a little cheaper. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten. Customizations can cost you extra money."
"The problem with SAP is that it offers two licenses, namely runtime license and enterprise license. If you have a runtime license, then you are doomed since you can't take any data out from the tool."
"The product is expensive"
"The solution is expensive."
"I rate the pricing a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is too expensive. It is an expensive tool."
"The pricing model is based on an annual license."
"The price of the solution is on the higher side compared to others."
"SAP is a costly product in terms of maintenance for an organization who has reached a particular level."
"The pricing is a five out of ten, with ten being expensive and one being cheap."
