"I have found the most valuable features are the interface, which is very good for all users, and the database performance is good.""Because I'm a procure-to-pay consultant, I mostly look at that angle, and I have a bit of experience with sales and distribution. I also like the integration between S/4HANA and other ERPs because S/4HANA is a suite. For example, the integration between S/4HANA and EWM Transportation Management, and Ariba.""One of the most valuable features, which we used the most, was the FI module, for finance. It involved controlling, account receivables, account payables, and complete financial steering.""SAP S4HANA has good performance and has allowed us to combine our systems.""The most valuable feature is the perfect end-to-end integration.""We're able to get all our processes flowing together. We're able to make all of our business processes talk to each other.""I have found the most valuable feature to be the SAP Fiori application.""A robust product with integration between all modules."

Cons
"Something that could be included is a supply chain management system. That's what we're looking for.""The initial setup was complex...One should get the end-user manual because, in some parts, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is not user-friendly.""We originally used EnterpriseOne for preventative maintenance, but it is not very good at that so we migrated to Maximo for that task.""The reporting has to be flexible or it will turn the end-user off.""From the operation perspective, it could offer more functionality for the APIs.""EnterpriseOne's integration could be improved.""I haven't come across any downsides just yet.""The licensing is expensive compared to other solutions on the market."

More JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Cons →

"We found that the implementing partners themselves are struggling with S4HANA's features. It's not an exact translation of the older ECC, so SAP has taken a new route to do things with S4HANA. Maybe it's a good product, but the implementing partners also like to have an in-depth understanding of the full feature set the product offers.""The product's use of resources could be improved, as it is quite intensive at the moment.""The theory-side of the solution needs to be improved.""Items that impact the TCO should be improved because the solution is very complex to integrate and keep running.""The two things that need to be improved are price and customization.""Thi solution can improve the Bill of Materials (BOM) and production planning.""In an upcoming release of SAP S4HANA, chain management should be easier.""Technical support has been declining. They aren't as responsive as they used to be."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is an "arm-and-a-leg". This keeps the customers away from going for J.D. Edwards."
  • "The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
  • "The price of the solution is not cheap. However, it is priced average amongst competitors."
  • "There is an annual license for this solution."
  • "It depends on the number of users and the modules that you want to buy. It is licensed on a perpetual license basis. You buy the license costs upfront, and then there is maintenance for support that you pay every year, which is typically about 20%."
  • "The solution is really expensive."
  • "The licensing costs are on a yearly basis, and there are no additional costs."
  • "In terms of price, it is not on the high end."

  • "It is an expensive solution."
  • "The price of this product is an issue for some customers."
  • "I have found the price of the solution is on the medium to the expensive side of the scale. There is a license for this solution and there are additional maintenance fees."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "We're not sure yet. I think it was six figures a year, over 100,000. It has straight-up licensing fees."
  • "Licensing works on a subscription model for the cloud version and it's a one-time fee for the on-premises version."
  • "The price of the solution is reasonable but some modules can be expensive. When comparing SAP S4HANA to other solutions, such as Oracle, it is not expensive."
  • "The price of the solution is expensive."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by SAP S4HANA users.

    A Mechanical Engineer at a construction company says, “It is a very powerful, highly customizable tool. The most valuable feature is that the reporting is fast. We can see the results from that in that our commissions come in fast. That is the main advantage.”

    Another reviewer, a SAP Technology Manager at a financial services firm, mentions, "It is more or less a very, very smooth and seamless product. Day by day they are increasing their technology features and they are keen to resolve the issues. India has a complex business scenario and SAP is thinking about that and resolving the issues day by day. In terms of the features I have found most valuable, I don't think that there is any lack or any gap process-wise. SAP is a very good tool."

    A Project and Service delivery Manager at a tech services company comments, "One of the most valuable features, which we used the most, was the FI module, for finance. It involved controlling, account receivables, account payables, and complete financial steering."
