Manager at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
Good solution for finance in general but falls short on the manufacturing side
There is room for improvement when it comes to reporting and the manufacturing piece in general. I would like to see more of a complete solution with the operations end of the business, namely the quality management system and the production pieces. It's very good at project costing, cost accounting, accounting and finance in general. Where it falls short is the manufacturing side. Overall, the solution is very difficult to use and learn. The learning curve is difficult. Also, the GUI and user interface are not intuitive.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of the solution is fine."
"It is very good at project costing, cost accounting, accounting and finance in general."
"The cost optimization that is shipped with cloud solutions is the primary benefit of the product."
"The key modules that I find most valuable are material management (MM), financial accounting and controlling (FICO), and human resources (HR)."
"It is the most stable solution provided by SAP and can be used on all levels."
"The functionality of SAP S4HANA is very good when comparing it to others, such as Oracle, Microsoft, and other ERP solutions."
"Offers an excellent UI"
"As a finance professional, I appreciate the user-friendly interface and time-saving features."
"The most valuable feature is the detail in all of the processes; the solution captures our policies and enables us to implement our policies in SAP, and there are different models that address our needs."
"You don't have to worry too much about volumes of data, even if your transaction volumes go up."
 

Cons

"Overall, the solution is very difficult to use and learn. The learning curve is difficult. Also, the GUI and user interface are not intuitive."
"SAP S/4HANA is a robust front-end solution compared to other web technologies available. However, screen design in SAP EFI might not be as extensive."
"The tool needs to improve its interface and functionalities."
"While the solution contemplates a competitively priced model, its pricing could be cheaper."
"In future releases, I would like to see more availability zones and VPCs so customers have more freedom to choose"
"SAP S4HANA could improve by having a more seamless easier integration, faster integration. The overall implementation timelines can be reduced by leveraging Agile methodology."
"SAP is charging a lot for that particular bank integration scenario and I think it should be free because other ERPs are providing this feature built in to the ERP."
"The two things that need to be improved are price and customization."
"There is a need to improve the migration process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is never a cheap product since it is a prime tool in the worldwide market."
"I feel that the product is a bit expensive."
"The price of this product is an issue for some customers."
"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."
"SAP is a costly product in terms of maintenance for an organization who has reached a particular level."
"The tool's licensing is very expensive. They've changed their licensing model from the old ERP system to a new model using FUEs, which is somewhat better but still expensive."
"Regarding pricing, I don't regularly deal with the financial aspects, but it is not a cheap solution."
"There is a license required for the use of this solution and we are on a monthly subscription. The cost of the solution is expensive compared to other solutions."
