Featured Reviews

SK Ganatra - PeerSpot reviewer
Have needed more detailed inventory controls and reporting but have managed basic tasks effectively
Some improvements that could be made to Pronto Xi include the ability to view purchase orders in a Word format, as well as the option to export supplier details and history to Excel. Additionally, the ability to control inventory levels and perform related calculations within Pronto Xi would be beneficial. I have not experienced any issues with Pronto Xi, such as lagging or interruptions, since we have a VPN in place.
Deepak Madhavan - PeerSpot reviewer
Implementation simplifies ERP management with comprehensive data integration and visibility
A lot of people would say the pricing. SAP is seen as quite expensive even now. It doesn't work for smaller or medium optimizations. The licensing and pricing could be looked at. In Brownfield migration, the trade-off between greenfield and brownfield means you either keep it clean or match the business requirements. Sometimes, it's not possible to do both. While ValixAPI provides significant support in making those decisions and the SAP consultant is very useful, we are still dependent on past history and how it was originally set up. I wouldn't call that a real disadvantage, yet more accessible consulting would be beneficial. Incorporating all other cloud products, like APO or IPP, into the S/4 house might also help.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Pronto Xi is very user-friendly, and anyone can operate it without difficulty, unlike SAP or AS/400."
"I find Pronto Xi quite robust, fast, and flexible in its use because we can set up any environment and customize it, and it covers a wide range of functions, starting from basic finances such as accounts receivable, payable, down to service projects, manufacturing, plant maintenance, and all customer relationships, providing extensive functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the detail in all of the processes. The solution captures our policies and enables us to implement our policies in SAP. There are different models that address our needs."
"The most valuable feature of SAP S/4HANA is the innovational process. We are able to receive more efficiency or accuracy than previous versions."
"It is a very scalable solution. We have enterprise-level businesses using this solution."
"The tool's most valuable features are ease of use, high availability, and connectivity."
"It's helped with business aspects and improved material planning and RMA processes."
"The features that I find most helpful in my day-to-day operations with SAP S/4HANA are primarily related to data management. Real-time data analytics has significantly enhanced decision-making processes by providing instant insights into business processes and trends. The user experience with the SAP S/4HANA interface has also seen notable improvements, particularly in terms of a more friendly and personalized UI."
"Overall, I would rate the product ten out of ten."
"SAP S4HANA is a robust solution."
 

Cons

"The areas of Pronto Xi that could be improved include its appearance, which is quite outdated, as it does not use modern visualization means of its functionality, and it appears to be from the late 90s."
"There are a lot of things to be developed in Pronto Xi. I believe we need spool files, better control of inventory levels, and improved distribution capabilities."
"There might be some restrictions in the public cloud."
"SAP S4HANA could improve by having a more seamless easier integration, faster integration. The overall implementation timelines should be reduced."
"S/4HANA is like a ready-made suit, but it could be improved by adding more customization options, such as different colors and attractive themes in Fiori. From a functionality standpoint, there's always a workaround solution, and we've been working on SAP for the last 18 years."
"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."
"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."
"The product's use of resources could be improved, as it is quite intensive at the moment."
"The Capex and Opex could be improved."
"More integration is necessary."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The problem with SAP is that it offers two licenses, namely runtime license and enterprise license. If you have a runtime license, then you are doomed since you can't take any data out from the tool."
"There is a license to use this solution."
"The pricing model is based on an annual license."
"It is costly in computing because these VMs have a huge CPU and utilization."
"As for pricing, it depends on the business size and flow. If it's a medium-sized business, it might seem affordable, but for larger businesses with complex processes, it could be considered expensive."
"This is not the cheapest solution on the market, so you need to invest seriously in it. As a solid product, it has a solid price. It's definitely one of the more expensive tools on the market, but it's also one of the best products on the market."
"SAP S4HANA is expensive and for smaller businesses, it is very difficult for them to have the budget."
"The price of SAP S4HANA is reasonable."
