Allows customization for production and has good sales, distribution, and quality management features
Previously, we were using a very small ERP called Visual Udyog. Visual Udyog is a very cheap solution. For a startup company, it's useful. It's not an elaborate ERP, but it gives at least 25% of what IQMS gives. It can give 25% or even close to 50% of what IQMS can give and at 10% of the cost. Initially, for the first five years of the company, where it has only one million turnover or two million turnover, it is enough. Once you want to scale up, you have to go to SAP or IQMS. I also worked with SAP. I would say that IQMS and SAP go hand-in-hand.

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

"This solution has all of the features you need: sales, distribution, supply chain. It has logistics and production management capabilities. It has so many modules, which were integrated using our expertise."
"There is value that has been realized."
"The solution's most valuable feature is integration."
"SAP S/4HANA dominates around 70 percent of the ERP market in Chile, and I believe this isn't merely coincidental. I've always maintained that if someone believes SAP S/4HANA lacks a certain functionality, they haven't explored it thoroughly. However, there's a widespread lack of understanding regarding its full potential and how to configure it."
"If you have a really serious business and you're looking for a rock solid solution with all the modules and functionalities you may need, then SAP is definitely one of the best options."
"The functionality of SAP S4HANA is very good when comparing it to others, such as Oracle, Microsoft, and other ERP solutions."
"The user experience is quite attractive, and maybe the efficiency around the consolidation part as well."
"The biggest benefit of SAP S_4HANA is that you can manage all ERP systems effectively; if you're a production company, you can track product costs, manage profitability easily, and define sales prices."
"The finance solution and procurement functionalities are good."
 

Cons

"It was very complex, which is why it took us so long."
"Setup is very complex."
"The common issues being raised right now by the end users are mostly related to the usability."
"The solution could have a better user experience."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced and made more cost effective."
"The integration could be made a little simpler in terms of design and implementation."
"The platform could improve by simplifying the analytics processes, which currently require significant preparatory work outside the platform."
"There are certain limitations of the cloud version for customization."
"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 S/4HANA could improve by making the interface easier to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid about 20% with the purchase order. Six months later, we paid another 20%, and then another 20% after another six months. We paid the remaining 40% after 18 months."
"It is on a quarterly basis. There are no additional costs. There is just the standard fee."
"The pricing model is based on an annual license."
"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 solution often does not survive our shortlist round because it is very expensive when compared to other products."
"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."
"People concerned about the costs need to evaluate whether implementing this system is profitable."
"SAP S4HANA is expensive and for smaller businesses, it is very difficult for them to have the budget."
"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."
