Provides an excellent user interface and dashboard, but it is expensive and doesn’t enable customization
The solution is primarily for finance and accounts. It's spread across multiple industries, including service, trading, and a bit of manufacturing The product brings a fair bit of accountability into the system. There are checks and balances. The maker-checker and workflow are in place. Certain…

Streamline financial operations and supply chain management
SAP S/4HANA has improved the response time of all applications. This improvement was noticeable within just two months of implementation. Developing a system can be time-consuming, but once it's developed, a set of licensing elements is in place. Companies in India do not extensively utilize solution management. Consequently, we face challenges in storing documentation alongside our projects within the system. Exploring alternative methods for storing these documents within the project would be beneficial. However, it's important to note that companies in India may not prioritize solution management as extensively as elsewhere. The data consistency and integration have been addressed effectively. This has greatly supported us without extensive customization regarding invoicing and other features within SAP. SAP S/4HANA is more like an extensive, sophisticated system than a giant airline. It's designed to handle large-scale operations efficiently. While it's true that smaller businesses may find it more challenging to adopt due to its complexity and cost, many mid-sized and large enterprises are utilizing it. Different deployment options are available, such as on-premise or cloud-based solutions catering to various business needs. Additionally, while SAP S/4HANA is primarily known for its ERP capabilities, it also offers modules for HR management. However, some industries have found the HR implementation process to be cumbersome. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It fosters adoption of a shared services center model."
"I use Oracle ERP Cloud for implementation support."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is a stable solution."
"The product has good functionality."
"The entire solution operates online or on the cloud and this is a valuable feature of Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP."
"What's most valuable in Oracle ERP Cloud is that it's one of the largest ERPs available in the market and it has a lot of customization features. It also has a lot of flexibility and integration options that work with other applications. Many of the customers also migrate to the cloud, so Oracle ERP Cloud is a preferred solution."
"I like that Oracle ERP Cloud has a lot of ready-to-use products, making it easy to adopt."
"The solution is scalable and very stable. You don't need to worry about the underpinning infrastructure."
"The solution's most valuable features are performance and processes."
"It is a full-fledged, stable solution."
"The most useful features of SAP S4HANA are the consolidation reports. The BI is very strong and the manufacturing and finance sections we like a lot."
"The key modules that I find most valuable are material management (MM), financial accounting and controlling (FICO), and human resources (HR)."
"The processing time has been reduced, and the screens have become more intuitive, leading to a faster user experience."
"The speed of executing reports has increased significantly. We no longer need day-minus-one business processing."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like to see an improved approach to pulling data with VDI."
"The main thing Cloud ERP could improve is usability. However, it's not just an issue with Oracle. Most ERP solutions are not very user-friendly, so I think that could be the key improvement."
"There are integration issues and a lack of flexibility within OIC. When integrating systems, the process feels rigid and linear."
"The expenses mobile app calculates different mileages than the URL version."
"Technical support is good, however, sometimes we do need to wait for an answer."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP's interface needs to be improved."
"We have had concerns about the security and flexibility of the application. The approach with Oracle ERP Cloud should be more holistic rather than user or computer-based."
"The solution's new analytics information, dashboard, and flexibility of reporting could be improved."
"This product would be improved by adding more reports."
"This solution works with the configuration, if the prerequisites are very clear and can be configured it works perfectly. If you need to simulate something, as a predictive tool this kind of simulation is not very accurate and it has limitations. This is something that could improve."
"There might be some restrictions in the public cloud."
"Extensions to SAP S/4HANA have room for improvement, especially in integration with low-code/no-code platforms. Creating these extensions through Fiori transactions is more tedious than customers would like. Although the SAP build process has become more linear, further improvements could provide a huge benefit."
"I think anything related to manufacturing public clouds could be improved."
"The platform could improve by simplifying the analytics processes, which currently require significant preparatory work outside the platform."
"The interface could be improved."
"I would like to see improvements in the graphical user interface and core modules in SAP S/4HANA. Even after 20 years, there haven't been developments in these areas. The purchase order, sales order, and core modules like CRM have remained unchanged. The financial data and modules have also stayed the same. Fiori is available but hasn't brought many changes to the core modules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."
"In a developing country such as Bangladesh, Oracle ERP Cloud is expensive compared to on-premise solutions, so the turnover is very low. Customers become more comfortable using on-premise services because of the high subscription costs of Oracle ERP Cloud."
"The tool’s price must be improved."
"The price is average compared to other vendors. The licensing is on a yearly basis depending on the subscription pattern. There are no extra costs apart from licensing."
"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."
"The pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud is on par with other top solutions."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is not a cheap solution."
"It is too costly."
"The product is expensive"
"Pricing is one area where S/4HANA has room for improvement. It's too costly for many people. They have come up with"
"It is on a quarterly basis. There are no additional costs. There is just the standard fee."
"People concerned about the costs need to evaluate whether implementing this system is profitable."
"We're not sure yet. I think it was six figures a year, over 100,000. It has straight-up licensing fees."
"There is an annual license for SAP S4HANA."
"Available at a high price"
"We pay for an annual license."
