Ossama ElGedawy

IT Security Senior Manager at a educational organization with 1,001-5,000 employees

Has integrated protection with effective mitigation of DDoS attacks

The valuable features include its API Security, anti-bot protection, and web application firewall. It has greatly improved the security posture of my applications, web applications, and also effectively mitigates DDoS attacks. Before implementing the DDoS protection on F5 Volterra, there were about three successful DDoS incidents. Afterward, I did not experience a single incident for eight months.

Associate Manager at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees

End-to-end accounting has been streamlined and secures data with automated controls

SAP S4HANA on AWS is mostly well secured because you need a VPN of the company you are working in to log in and view only with the VPN. It is not possible to connect to a random network, and it is very safe. In terms of usage and automation, SAP S4HANA on AWS is very good at automation, where instead of manually punching entry by entry as with Tally, Zoho, or NetSuite, you can do a bulk upload and close it from one GL to another GL entry from one T-code to another T-code. These are all the options and features, and it is user-friendly. Once you learn SAP S4HANA on AWS, you tend to know how to customize things and what features you want. You can add in features by working closely with the SAP team, whether it is a direct SAP team or through a contract with some agent. There are numerous things you can do; it is not limited to only one function. You can have end-to-end control, and back-dated entries are not possible as in Tally or Zoho, which is very good in terms of security and safety. There are no accounting frauds; we can even identify who has done an entry by name. It is very secure; a password gets locked automatically after two incorrect attempts, and you have to contact the SAP team for that. Data privacy is very good, and overall, it is a better option. Regarding real-time analytics features in SAP S4HANA on AWS, you can integrate with Qlik or Power BI, and I believe there is also an analytics component within SAP itself. SAP S4HANA on AWS provides one analytics tool, and these tools can be integrated and customized however you want. It is very easy to do analytics; you can download reports or integrate those reports with Power BI. It is very convenient that way. When it comes to AI capabilities integrated with SAP S4HANA on AWS, I am not certain because most of it comes via tools such as Qlik and Power BI. There are multiple other things that can help you integrate and work on it. For example, integrating Power BI with N28 or Cloud is convenient with tools such as Copilot. However, I am unsure how it works in SAP S4HANA on AWS because most organizations do not allow integrating AI with SAP S4HANA on AWS.

Pros

"It has greatly improved the security posture of my applications, web applications, and also effectively mitigates DDoS attacks."

"The valuable features include its anti-PDUs, anti-bot protection, and web application firewall."

"The most valuable feature of SAP S4HANA is Fiori. It allows users to access information quickly and easily, without having to navigate through unnecessary screens or transactions. Additionally, the ability to retrieve data more efficiently is helpful. Furthermore, the pre-delivered videos and functionalities within the solution allow for easier application building."

"We deployed the database from another team called ECC into an SAP HANA system. The implementation project took about eighteen months. That team handled the technical aspects."

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

"They have their own instances where you can host your database."

"The most valuable feature of SAP S4HANA on AWS is that when developed on a new structured system it can be configured."

"When you're hosting a SAP system on the cloud, the system is very fast, secure, and stable, and the accessibility of your SAP system to your business users is very properly organized so that there is no lag in terms of performance or integration."

Cons

"The reporting needs improvement in Volterra. I do not have many options to create a customized report."

"The reporting needs improvement in Volterra."

"The tool should undergo an overall improvement, including support. Data sharing should also be faster."

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

"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."

"SAP S4HANA on AWS could improve by having more data centers because there are limited data centers in the region I am in."

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

"Currently, we have some integration areas like Concur and Ariba that could be improved. Having these integrations as a single source rather than working in silos would be beneficial for customers."

"The platform's front-end user interface needs improvement compared to other applications."

"The initial setup could be easier. It's complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The price of SAP S4HANA on AWS is reasonable, given how much it costs to maintain a scratch-built system. To upgrade the support there is a fee."

"Licensing fees are on an annual basis."

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

"The licensing of the product is reasonable but the cost of the hardware is exorbitant."

"I rate the product price a six on a one to ten scale, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"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."

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

"SAP S4HANA's pricing model should be more flexible and transparent - there's a lot of negotiation and internal factors, and some customers get better value and services for the same product."
