I would rate the costliness of SAP S4HANA as a nine out of ten. I believe the cost of SAP S/4HANA can be a factor for smaller businesses. However, the robustness, integration capabilities, and the long-established foundation of SAP make it worth the investment, offering substantial value for the functionality it provides.
We use credit plans. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten. There are additional costs modules-wise; it's needed for modules and any new functions.
The solution is a little expensive. It is a managed service. Once we install the service, it will be highly scalable. Additionally, it streamlines analytic data.
S4HANA is expensive. It costs much more than SuccessFactors. However, depending on the company, you can also get it at a steep discount. In Nigeria, they're trying to reduce the price because of the exchange rate issues. They're working on that, but generally, the solution is fine. It's an excellent tool.

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.

We pay a monthly fee for the use of SAP S4HANA on AWS for approximately five years. That's the time of the contract. There are no additional costs other than the license. However, there are other costs that come from the partners or reseller who is doing the implementation. If you want any changes or anything that wasn't taken into account at the moment you were implementing it or you need support, the cost might be very high. This is something that needs to be taken into account.

The vendors have different pricing, ways of serving, security, and providing the service. You go and compare the offerings. Some might be better with smaller companies. For example, Microsoft Azure can handle small and medium-sized companies best but still can cover some large companies. Whereas Amazon AWS and IBM are going to cover sized companies. There's no clear advantage. Probably Amazon AWS may have been the first to be certified by SAP as a cloud-hosting partner. Then Microsoft Azure and IBM were certified at the same time. You have to partner up and be certified by the software.
The licensing cost for the product is not so high, but the cost for the hardware you need for it on-premises is very high. I can not verify the degrees in comparison to other products, but I know that the hardware cost is too high because. There would not be much of a change to reduce it down so that the cost could more in line with competitors.
Pricing depends on a lot of factors. For example, which month of the year it is. Is it close to the end of a quarter year's end? Usually, we get the best benefit out of it if we know the exact ICP events. Otherwise, price-wise, they're expensive. If you know when their quarter closing or annual closing are, you can get pricing similar to Oracle, and in some cases, even IFS.
