Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."It is strong in integration."
"The stability was reliable."
"I haven't used it a lot, but the best thing is that the processes are very detailed."
"The fixed assets, payroll, the data module, and user-friendliness are most valuable."
"You can track everything from beginning to end quite easily."
"The system is easy to customize and has user-friendly access. "
"It is a tried and tested ERP system which if used correctly, is definitely a very good program for managing all aspects of a business from customer sales, and receivables management, to payable management and finance reporting. So, it's super critical for any mid-sized company."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It was easy to implement."
"Finance aspects of it and transportation management, asset management, and inventory management are valuable."
"The integration is very stable."
"I come from a functional consultancy background, and S/4HANA provides excellent procurement solutions for inventory management. One of S/4HANA's best features in the manufacturing module is the ability to calculate product costs."
"We like the web portal or interface, which is great. The user experience is much better than the current traditional SAP landscape."
"The solution links everything and allows us to integrate into our entire supply chain."
"The solution is versatile with various integrated tools such as connecting with finance modules, controlling parameters, and creating universal journals."
"Managing the server and taking advantage of the services provided by SAP itself is the most valuable feature."
"With payroll, the payroll that they have offers US or Canadian tax. However, here, our tax payments are different from the US and Canada. It is very difficult to put in our tax tables. We need some customization. It should be readily available for any country to use according to their tax implications. The system should know different types of tax regimes around the world so that it can accommodate. It's a little bit rigid on that."
"The purchase order and processing aspects of the solution should be improved."
"As technology changes, I would say probably in the area of chart up account needs improvement because chart up account is a string. So if they make it more flexible."
"Dynamics GP could be improved in terms of its usability and modernization."
"There should also be extra redundancy when posting to modules. We use different sets of books such as CashBook and CheckBooks therefore if I select the wrong one the solution allows the transaction to just pass without warning."
"The biggest problem with GP is that it's not cloud based and it doesn't lend itself to subscription licensing. But Microsoft wants everything in the cloud and licensed on a subscription basis.Even tThough GP can be deployed on a cloud server, but basically, it's a Windows based product. It uses the older model and companies purchase the program and pay a 16-18 sixteen- eighteen percent annual renewal fee but Microsoft wants everybody to pay monthly or annual renewal fees on a subscription basis."
"As for room for improvement, they have different modules, project and analytical accounting, but it will be good to have that kind of part in the standard package. To have that additional reporting functionality where you can add an attribute or something, which you can report again. So you can analyze the cost by not just natural accounts but also by a project, without having to go through another module edit on top and then the other module edit on top. The more modules you add, sometimes it doesn't work that well. Additionally, it would be easier to have the solution on the cloud. That's our consideration. We are trying to move all our systems to the cloud, and GP is one of them that we are going to move in the next couple of years. I would rate the solution seven or seven point five out of ten."
"Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications."
"The pricing is way over any of the other ERPs, and the bank integrations are not perfect. There are a lot of costs for other implementations and integrations with Salesforce and other systems. Rather than being a fully-fledged system on its own like most of the other ERPs, it relies too much on developed integrations by the implementation partner."
"The price is mainly suitable for larger companies, even then, there may be other, cheaper solutions. Additionally, this solution is the result of multiple acquisitions leaving room for there to be issues with performance."
"Customer service and support's response time is really long."
"It is a complicated solution. So it should be easier to use."
"The user interface of SAP S/4HANA Cloud needs to be improved because it is not as good as other applications."
"The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."
"The integration with third-party vendors could improve."
"SAP S4HANA Cloud's production planning screens could be improved."
