Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."It's pretty easy to set up."
"If I put myself in the customer's shoes, it's easier to use. Reporting would be a very valuable feature."
"From a technological point of view, the in-memory database is one of the key highlights."
"SAP S4HANA is a robust solution."
"We're able to get all our processes flowing together. We're able to make all of our business processes talk to each other."
"A user-friendly UI with good documentation."
"It's helped with business aspects and improved material planning and RMA processes."
"It is a very scalable solution. We have enterprise-level businesses using this solution."
"The solution makes its use and the management of our infrastructure easy."
"SAP S4HANA is a stable solution."
"The licensing of the solution should be adjusted. The policies aren't ideal. They should make it easier to understand. Right now, it's too confusing."
"An area of improvement could be around automation and predictability."
"Small businesses that have a small user base find this solution too expensive."
"MRP repost area should be improved. The production information report also needs to be improved."
"S/4HANA could be improved with better integration. At the moment, a main issue I see is that there's so much growth in the functionality, complementary modules, and cloud solutions which were acquired by SAP and which extend the functionality of the SAP ERP suite. It looks to me that they tend to acquire more and more functionality from acquisitions, but they don't invest enough effort into making them integrated with S/4HANA or ERP. I would say that the functionality is great, but integration is something which still needs more attention. Instead of focusing on acquisitions, they should invest, integrate, and better the existing portfolio of products in SAP. It would help us, as implementors, to have a more complex or compact solution."
"SAP support provides resolves all our problems, but the response time is slower than our customers expect. Maybe it's because they have such a large customer base and are always occupied, but that's one area all our customers mention."
"If I can highlight one point that could be improved, when we talk about other ERPs, like Oracle, nowadays these ERPs provide free integration with other ERPs. For example, there is an API for banks integrated into every tool and every product form requires that bank integration in order to give real time data into the ERP. But SAP is charging a lot for that particular bank integration scenario and I think it should be free because other ERPs are providing this feature built in to the ERP. People always ask us about the integration and how much it will cost to go with that solution, so people are thinking about this."
"Planned Order List needs a change of screen."
"The resource usage could be improved - it's memory-hungry, so mid-range servers struggle to run it."
"Items that impact the TCO should be improved because the solution is very complex to integrate and keep running."
