Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."I believe Penta costs less than SAP"
"I can verify and provide the overall financial aid report and also the management report."
"The most valuable feature of SAP S/4HANA is the innovational process. We are able to receive more efficiency or accuracy than previous versions."
"SAP S/4HANA is the preferred database because of its scalability, faster accessibility, compatibility, and other well-suited features for large data sets."
"The in-memory processing capability is most valuable."
"A robust product with integration between all modules."
"The Fiori design is a valuable feature."
"The solution can scale well."
"SAP S4HANA version 1909 is stable. We have not gone live with 2020 yet."
"However, the production guys tell me that Penta is not suitable for mass production. If we build a hundred cars per day or more, then we'll have problems. At the same time, I can't say whether the issue is Penta or our process. In other words, maybe we have too many manual projects in it."
"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."
"SAP S4HANA is not suitable for all-size companies. If you have a small company there are better fit solutions for your needs."
"In an upcoming release, it would be beneficial to have more practical intelligence in the system, such as protective maintenance, or artificial intelligence."
"During parallel preparation of go-live processes, SAP B1 and S4H transactional data alignment can be difficult to track."
"The two things that need to be improved are price and customization."
"It is simple to implement SAP S4HANA. If you are already in this type of environment, then the transition is not very complex. However, if you do not then it can be difficult."
"The common issues being raised right now by the end users are mostly related to the usability."
"MRP repost area should be improved. The production information report also needs to be improved."
