We performed a comparison between SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud and SAP S4HANA on AWS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution is as good as any other S/4HANA SAP solution. The continuous support we get is very valuable."
"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."
"It has significantly streamlined our operations."
"The solution is stable and we have never had a problem. We started with one terabyte of data when the solution was first implemented and today we have around almost 600 gigabytes of data, which means means the compression works properly. Before migrating from ECC, we had nine terabytes of data."
"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."
"The interface is easy to manage."
"The scalability is good because we have some cloud resources to support the ERP."
"Ensuring data integrity across finance, supply chain, and other critical areas is paramount for real-time decision-making. Access to accurate and up-to-date information is essential for data protection. While the digital solution primarily serves basic maintenance, the ability to handle these core aspects efficiently is invaluable for your needs."
"With extensive data and a sizable client base, this ensures seamless operations, responsiveness, and overall reliability, addressing our enterprise-scale needs effectively."
"The most valuable feature of SAP S4HANA on AWS is the latency and speed. When we use the various typical relation database, the performance was visible."
"They have their own instances where you can host your database."
"There are two main features that we find very valuable. One is the interface and the new user experience. That's really, really helpful for the end-user. The second is the HANA database itself because it speeds up the process. In other solutions, like Oracle, there is a lot of redundancy that slows things down."
"We have approximately 1,000 people using the solution in my organization. The solution is scalable."
"Technical support is very good from SAP and AWS...Scalability is always available in the solution...With a stable environment, it should be running very nicely."
"SAP S4HANA on AWS is an easy-to-use solution."
"Reporting transparency and user-friendliness are the key benefit of deploying SAP S4HANA on AWS. Furthermore, the solution offers a plethora of modules that have proven to be valuable, and there are regular updates available."
"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."
"This product is not mature enough at this point in time."
"It’s a common challenge with applications like Microsoft and SAP that they tend to rely on engineers rather than human resources personnel for knowledge and implementation."
"Enterprise Cloud's reporting could be more automated to improve content accountability, especially regarding BI reports."
"The only thing that could be improved is the cost."
"The product must provide more details of the errors."
"Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation."
"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."
"There are times when the solution can become slower. The stability could improve."
"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 manufacturing application system, it's not as user-friendly in S4HANA."
"The product could use more capabilities in the areas of robotics, machine learning and artificial intelligence, but these improvements are already on the way."
"The platform's front-end user interface needs improvement compared to other applications."
"If you go to AWS's site they offer training programs that are very good. SAP does not do the same, if SAP could provide some training that would be great."
"SAP S4HANA could be improved by adding a click-to-deploy model."
"We had some storage and legacy migrations problems with SAP S4HANA on AWS."
