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

"It is very good at project costing, cost accounting, accounting and finance in general."
"The stability of the solution is fine."
"The most useful features of SAP S4HANA are the consolidation reports. The BI is very strong and the manufacturing and finance sections we like a lot."
"The scalability of SAP S/4HANA is highly impressive, making it suitable for companies of all sizes."
"The integration is quick to implement and very user-friendly."
"I have found the most valuable features are the interface, which is very good for all users, and the database performance is good."
"SAP S4HANA is a great product."
"The cost optimization that is shipped with cloud solutions is the primary benefit of the product."
"For me, S/4HANA is the best value solution in the world."
"The solution is flexible, has a lot of functionality, and has the ability to deliver more security than other comparable solutions."
 

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."
"Maybe its user interface and reporting can be improved across the board, but it is manageable."
"Support is a challenge. The effectiveness of the SAP support paradigm depends on particular skills."
"Introducing better functions to our customers with the Fiori app is not easy for consultants."
"There are some problems with the support provided for the solution, so it is not quite easy. It takes some time for them to offer us support."
"Licensing is quite expensive. It works with yearly licenses and it's ugly."
"SAP is generally a very expensive license globally."
"SAP support provides resolves all our problems, but the response time is slower than our customers expect. Maybe it's because they have such a large customer base and are always occupied, but that's one area all our customers mention."
"SAP has packages in countries like Poland, Spain, and Italy for these regulations, such as e-invoicing. However, we are missing these standard packages here in Turkey."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Its pricing could be better."
"It's quite expensive. However, it can be expensive to maintain the solution."
"The solution's license cost is on the higher side."
"The price could be lower."
"It is an expensive solution. On a scale from one to five, with five being the most expensive, I would rate the price at four."
"The tool's price can be reasonable for large organizations, but it might not be suitable for small organizations with a small number of users."
"The implementation costs of SAP is substantial."
