Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Traditionally, SAP worked with Oracle databases, but SAP is getting rid of the other databases and promoting its own. SAP will stop support for other databases around 2026, so everyone is moving to SAP S/4HANA for the performance and because it's the preferred database for SAP. S/4HANA has new features from the front-end or application feature perspective. The idea is to move toward future-ready technology.""My company has not had any problems with the product's initial setup phase.""The solution's initial setup process is straightforward.""Fiori is the most valuable feature, as well as the the integration between S/4 and another solution as an extension.""The most valuable feature is virtual modeling, which is beneficial because you don't really save the data multiple times the way we did in the past.""This solution is as good as any other S/4HANA SAP solution. The continuous support we get is very valuable.""It has significantly streamlined our operations.""What I like the most is that we can convert databases into a proper multi-dimensional model, and then we can project with the integration with Power BI."

Cons
"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast.""Customization is an area of concern in SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, where improvements are required.""This product is not mature enough at this point in time.""Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation.""The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""They should probably offer more cloud services. Most of the cloud infrastructure providers we have make everything pretty transparent, you know what you're getting, you have all these metrics and measurements and everything in the dashboard. Here you have to go through the contracting negotiations and all those things.""It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance.""SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "If you choose the minimum, it will probably cost around $1,000 USD per month if you take a contract for a year or two."
  • "The licensing of the solution is on a yearly basis. The normal price of the solution is quite high, but I received a special discount by making a purchase near the end of the year."
  • "The solution could be less expensive."
  • "The price is expensive compared to the competition."
  • "The price is high compared to other databases, which is why HANA is still not widely used. Some enterprises prefer Sybase, Oracle, or other traditional databases because HANA is a little pricey. Cost is one factor SAP needs to work on to make it more competitive with other databases. Otherwise, they'll never be able to develop a mass customer base."
  • "Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
  • "The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
  • "The product itself is relatively expensive."
