"SAP S4HANA has good performance and has allowed us to combine our systems."
"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"There should be an easier way to migrate customers from all versions to SAP S/4HANA."
"Small businesses that have a small user base find this solution too expensive."
"The Capex and Opex could be improved."
"The product's use of resources could be improved, as it is quite intensive at the moment."
"It should have more support. Documentation and support for mobile apps can be improved."
"If S4HANA has more AI and machine learning, it will be better and easier for reporting and dashboarding."
"The initial setup could be better. They can make the process a little easier. The functions that we require will be available in the next release. We specifically need a new model, and I think we have some versions to implement. I already read on the SAP website that some functionalities we are waiting for are available in this new version."
"The procure-to-pay solution in the Contract Management angle could be better. If you look at it on Ariba, the Contract Management Life Cycle for Ariba is more robust. You can create documentation, SLAs, and NDAs. Apart from the procurement aspect of the contract, you have the legal side, but Ariba cannot do that. From what I've seen, the features of the procure-to-pay model in S/4HANA and their Contract Life Cycle Management side primarily focus on the procurement side. I believe it would be good if this solution could handle a part of the legal side. They will incorporate Extended Warehouse Management and Transportation Management into the S/4HANA cloud. Most big companies that use a solution like S/4HANA have a legal department within the organization. Suppose they can incorporate that to be in S/4HANA suites; I think it'll be good. It will be just like what we have with Transportation Management and Extended Warehouse Management. The user interface could be better. They have too much information on the interface, and our customers still keep complaining that it looks complex. Even though many things have changed, they still complain that the interface or the screen they see is a bit complex. It's only when they see the Fiori interface that their mind becomes a bit calm."
