AI automation saves time and simplifies financial processes
The data entry process is very time-consuming. Without using options like ODA, manually entering data in the GLS screen or Oracle invoices is a time-consuming job. The screens could be improved, as a lot of mouse clicks are required, and multiple fields need to be entered. Although it has a workaround with spreadsheets, the screen interface could be better.
Sajid Farooq - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides seamless integration of different modules in one place
Certain add-ons like quality control, payroll, and HRMS are not part of the SAP S/4HANA Cloud. SAP S/4HANA Cloud doesn't provide a quality control module. SAP S/4HANA Cloud does not have its own payroll and HRMS system. The partners develop their own cloud and integrate with the solution. There are certain modules specific to some industries, and SAP S/4HANA Cloud doesn't deal with those modules. Every partner of SAP S/4HANA Cloud has to develop its own and then integrate and certify with that solution. We can't say that these modules are part of SAP S/4HANA Cloud. There is a little area of improvement that SAP has to opt for particular types of solutions like QC, payroll, and HRMS. The graphics of SAP S/4HANA Cloud are not user-friendly. They don't look like they belong to a branded solution that costs too much. The solution's user interface is not appealing or user-friendly. On a scale from one to ten, where one is bad and ten is good, I rate the solution's user interface a five out of ten. SAP S/4HANA Cloud has built-in reports that are hard-coated. We have to alter or modify built-in reports in different marking segments, but there are no options for that. We have to build complete reports from scratch, and SAP-developed reports are not used in the market. SAP should provide a tool for customizing its developed reports so that there should not be a process of reengineering or reinventing the process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My company found the financial planning and budgeting modules of Oracle ERP Cloud more sophisticated and valuable than its other modules."
"The main component is Oracle Financial. It is one of the most comprehensive financial solutions available on the market."
"The embedded AI is very beneficial for automations, and it provides a lot of help to customers."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is a stable solution."
"I find the most valuable feature for the solution to be the company is always evolving by making the product better with continual updates."
"The scalability is very good."
"Built-in business intelligence has real-time reporting features that are quite handy."
"I like the tool’s financial and human capital management features."
"The integration between SAP EWM and S4HANA Cloud is seamless."
"The most valuable feature of SAP S/4HANA Cloud is the uptime it provides from being on the cloud. We do not have to manage the solution. All the infrastructure management is done from their side."
"SAP S4HANA Cloud is stable, and its computational power and speed have improved in later versions."
"What I like the most about SAP S4HANA is how reliable and powerful it is."
"I like that it saves every transaction, so anything is traceable."
"Speed has improved and getting analytical reports has been simplified."
"The solution is stable."
"Managing the server and taking advantage of the services provided by SAP itself is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"We did face some challenges during the implementation of Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP. Certain requirements were not met by the standard functionality, so we had to customize and build custom applications on top of the solution. But overall, I think it stacks up well as a standard product."
"The data entry process is very time-consuming."
"It should be built with less complexity and more ability for clients to add screens."
"You need a lot of knowledge to set up Oracle ERP Cloud."
"Improve support services in the new features roadmap."
"I would like to see an improved approach to pulling data with VDI."
"One disadvantage is that we don't have immediate access to evaluate or fix data that is not in the app until we own the database."
"Oracle can make the system more stable which includes some changes as some of the use cases were not available in Oracle's systems and the element’s value needed to be defined."
"UX design is not flexible and lacks compatibility with mobile devices."
"The scalability of the solution could improve."
"It's a huge software, and they need to make it look less complex and more user friendly. They need to work on user stories and user experiences."
"The user experience has some room for improvement. S/4HANA covers various scenarios based on the best business practices, but users complain about its user experience. It is not a user-friendly ERP solution. I rate the current UX seven out of 10."
"The solution could improve by adding a planning model, such as BPC. Additionally, if we need to make changes in the profit center it has to be done manually. It is not connected to the cost center."
"There have been some pain points in moving from SAP to S/4HANA, but the company seems to be staying on top of those issues."
"The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."
"The proposition by SAP does not match the value realization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle ERP Cloud is not a cheap solution."
"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."

"The solution is expensive and there are some services that are extra costs."

"The solution’s pricing is very high."
"Its pricing is way over any of the other ERPs. I'd rate it one out of ten in terms of pricing."
"This is a pricey solution that best serves large enterprises. Be sure to ensure that your company's requirements need to be fulfilled by SAP. There are many other ERP's that are cheaper yet highly functional. However, it is still cheaper than some of the competition (i.e. Oracle, ESD, etc.)"
"The licensing process for SAP S/4HANA Cloud has worked well."
"The solution's costs have significantly increased, and we have not seen any anticipated cost savings."
"I'm not directly involved in the pricing discussions; it's more of a concern for the finance team."
"The pricing of SAP S/4HANA Cloud is on the higher side."
"It's very expensive."
