Integrated workflows have streamlined hiring, purchasing, and daily operations across departments
Areas of SAP S_4HANA that could be improved or enhanced include the evolving aspects of the application over time. There are other SAP applications such as SuccessFactors and Ariba that integrate with SAP S_4HANA. In recent years, SAP introduced an addition called RISE with SAP, which allows companies to use cloud solutions instead of requiring their own premises hardware. SAP partners with cloud providers such as Azure, Amazon, and Google, assisting companies in migrating from hardware to cloud solutions. A challenge that arises is the lack of immediate expertise when raising tickets for problem resolution with SAP, leading to delays. We have asked SAP to improve this area to provide users with better benefits from the cloud solution, as we encounter this issue frequently.

A great choice for straight manufacturing, but not suitable for complex manufacturing models
SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module. One of my clients is a project-based organization, and they're finding it extremely difficult to manage their business using SYSPRO, to the point that they're looking at alternative solutions. The Projects and Contracts module is not a very useful tool. It does project accounting reasonably well, but in terms of putting in proper structures, like a work breakdown structure and so forth, it's actually quite poor. Their design or their architecture for the Projects module isn't good enough. They need to redesign it and redevelop it. They have made improvements. However, the problem is that if you're building on a bad foundation, then your building isn't going to be very strong. That's principally their problem. Any heavy equipment company would have a requirement to keep their equipment available for production. In that sense, SYSPRO has no maintenance management functionality. There's also no functionality for field services management. These two functionalities are critical for places like mines or for heavy equipment manufacturers who service the aftermarket and so forth. From a product perspective, this obviously isn't a good place to be because they are sort of taking themselves out of the market for quite a number of industries. They are constrained to manufacturing and distribution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution makes its use and the management of our infrastructure easy."
"We can do a lot with S/4HANA, like HR, sales, distribution, production planning, quality management, transport management, and more."
"At present, it seems very stable because it is in the cloud."
"Its analytics capabilities are valuable as they enhance data analysis and insights."
"If you have a really serious business and you're looking for a rock solid solution with all the modules and functionalities you may need, then SAP is definitely one of the best options."
"I have found the user interface very modern and it has simplified many user jobs, such as the embedded logistics."
"The scalability has been good."
"The most useful features of SAP S4HANA are the consolidation reports. The BI is very strong and the manufacturing and finance sections we like a lot."
"The Financial Accounting module, in general, is quite good. It is quite simple but powerful. Similarly, the Manufacturing functionality, including a multiple level bill of materials, is also quite useful."
"The Financial Accounting module, in general, is quite good; it is quite simple but powerful, and similarly, the Manufacturing functionality, including a multiple level bill of materials, is also quite useful."
 

Cons

"SAP has packages in countries like Poland, Spain, and Italy for these regulations, such as e-invoicing. However, we are missing these standard packages here in Turkey."
"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."
"I have found scalability difficult to achieve in SAP S4HANA because the license is quite expensive."
"The solution could improve by making customization easier; the on-premise version is a lot more flexible."
"The tool needs to improve its interface and functionalities."
"The cost is definitely high, so SAP does have a growth solution, which is slightly cheaper compared to other offerings with SAP. A lot more customers would adopt it if they reduced the price by around twenty to twenty-five percent."
"The process for the auto administration of the system needs improvement."
"Introducing better functions to our customers with the Fiori app is not easy for consultants."
"SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price can be reasonable for large organizations, but it might not be suitable for small organizations with a small number of users."
"Though we are talking about a competitively priced model, the pricing could be more cost-effective."
"Licensing works on a subscription model for the cloud version and it's a one-time fee for the on-premises version."
"The price of this product is an issue for some customers."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The pricing model is based on an annual license."
"The price of SAP S4HANA could be cheaper."
"The price of SAP S4HANA is reasonable."
