We performed a comparison between Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management and SAP S/4HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is not complex. The deployment process was relatively straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management is the business intelligence module. Additionally, report consolidation, cloud access, and analysis are useful."
"The solution is parameterized so it naturally has the ability to parameterize, configure, and adapt to various organizational procedures."
"The accounting part and the procurement part are most valuable. It is a very good system with workflows and notifications."
"The most valuable feature is that HANA loads from memory, which means it loads very quickly."
"At present, it seems very stable because it is in the cloud."
"I find everything I need in S4/HANA."
"One of the most valuable features is the in-memory database."
"We're able to get all our processes flowing together. We're able to make all of our business processes talk to each other."
"SAP S4HANA is a stable solution."
"I find the Production Planning Cockpit (PPC) and Material Requirements Planning (MRP) most valuable modules."
"S/4HANA offers a lot of additional capability with respect to performance due to its in-built architecture for many functions including finance, production, quality, manufacturing, inventory or sales distribution and logistics."
"It is not suitable for corporate or manufacturing companies. For example, it's challenging to use it for a manufacturing company."
"The solution does not have a solid, out-of-the-box API architecture that is supported."
"Its implementation process is kind of complicated. If the person implementing it doesn't know what he is doing, the system can have many issues. Sage X3 is just an accounting system. As compared to Oracle E-Business Suite, it does not cover a lot of functionality. It doesn't have the payroll, lease management, and HR modules. Oracle E-Business Suite is better than Sage X3."
"Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management could improve the search functionality. For example, if I was to search for a transaction from last year it would be difficult to accomplish. I have to scroll through to find what I am looking for. The approach should be more similar to Quickbooks where when you search for something it takes you directly to the searched item."
"Thi solution can improve the Bill of Materials (BOM) and production planning."
"The difficulty level of the initial setup depends on the person's skills. If you know the basic knowledge of the database, then it will be easy, otherwise, it will be very difficult."
"The customer service and support are average. There is room for improvement in response time."
"We would like to see more DevOps capabilities in the future."
"The resource usage could be improved - it's memory-hungry, so mid-range servers struggle to run it."
"We are always looking for a better user experience. We would like to see more consolidation in SAP S4HANA because of all the financial compliance and regulatory changes."
"SAP S4HANA could improve by having a more seamless easier integration, faster integration. The overall implementation timelines should be reduced."
"We found that the implementing partners themselves are struggling with S4HANA's features. It's not an exact translation of the older ECC, so SAP has taken a new route to do things with S4HANA. Maybe it's a good product, but the implementing partners also like to have an in-depth understanding of the full feature set the product offers."
