Exceptional speed improves performance with short and long-term storage
We are using it in-house for our data center to run all of our VMware environment and our VDI environment on. Infrastructure consumption, as well as short-term and long-term storage, is included The speed of the product is quite a bit better in performance than the previous environment we were…

Strong integration in manufacturing and enhances flexibility with useful workflow management
Installation is very straightforward, however, implementation takes years or months based on the project's size. In manufacturing, the requirement might go from ten to 12 people. If I'm a sales-oriented company, such as an FMCG or something else, then I might need around seven or eight people at the very minimum. It is not an easy task to migrate. If I'm moving from a different ERP to S/4HANA, I need a proper project that probably spans several months, with significant engagement from both the business side and the technical side. I need an opportunity partner on it. Processing to SCE S/4HANA takes a bit of effort.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Evergreen program is excellent, and the pricing is quite reasonable. My friends who work there are doing very well and consistently achieving strong results. Like any company, they experience occasional downturns but perform impressively overall."
"The speed of the product is quite a bit better in performance than the previous environment we were running on, and it seems to have a better feature set."
"We have snapshots. We put snapshots on disks, and we can save information. In the case of ransomware, everything is in the snapshot. We have a snapshot lock on it, so it's safe."
"Pure Storage has the highest Net Promoter Score in the market."
"The speed of the product is quite a bit better in performance than the previous peer environment we were running on, and it seems to have a better feature set."
"We have found the retail business features to be the most valuable."
"Especially for manufacturing, it offers great integration with my costing."
"Overall, I am very satisfied with the solution, and it has proven to be highly beneficial to our organization."
"The product efficiently manages the data center without manual intervention."
"SAP S4HANA on AWS is an easy-to-use solution."
"They have their own instances where you can host your database."
"The reporting capability is good, providing very in-depth information."
"After the implementation phase of the product, it becomes a very stable tool."
 

Cons

"Many customers report that the starting price is quite high. However, the overall total cost of ownership can be reduced over time due to features like the Evergreen architecture, which allows savings through less management and environmental benefits."
"The only potential drawback is that Pure Storage might be overkill if you don't need microsecond response times."
"I'm not sure if any improvements are needed."
"It would be nice to have support in Swedish."
"To me, I think it's a little expensive. Then again, you get what you pay for."
"The solution is costlier than other products."
"The drawback of this tool versus an on-site tool is that you've got to upgrade the tool. The software is upgraded as it gets upgraded and you've got to be ready to change whatever processes and do whatever training you need to do."
"The AI aspect of SAP S4HANA can be improved."
"This solution is very resource-intensive, including high memory and CPU utilization."
"More availability zones will help customers choose AWS. I would like to see features that provide easier onboarding for ERP solutions like SAP. SAP has already partnered with S/4HANA on AWS for hosting its public cloud as well. More educational videos for customers to choose this cloud path would be great to have. That is, providing more documentation and marketing material would be better."
"SAP S4HANA could be improved by adding a click-to-deploy model."
"S4HANA is expensive. It costs much more than SuccessFactors."
"We had some storage and legacy migrations problems with SAP S4HANA on AWS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is very good."
"The pricing is on the higher end."
"The pricing is a little bit high."
"I would rate the pricing as a two and a half out of five."
"SAP S4HANA's pricing model should be more flexible and transparent - there's a lot of negotiation and internal factors, and some customers get better value and services for the same product."
"The licensing of the product is reasonable but the cost of the hardware is exorbitant."
"SAP S4HANA on AWS has reasonable pricing."
"It is a significant investment, around six hundred thousand dollars, and it involves both a one-time on-premises installation on servers and a cloud subscription with different flavors for SAP S4HANA."
"The price of SAP S4HANA on AWS is reasonable, given how much it costs to maintain a scratch-built system. To upgrade the support there is a fee."
