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

"It fosters adoption of a shared services center model."
"Built-in business intelligence has real-time reporting features that are quite handy."
"The scalability is very good."
"It offers real-time analytics through Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence, which helps build analytical reports on the data model. It also has Fusion Intelligence, a data warehouse integrated with the database that offers real-time data integration and prebuilt analytical reporting. These are standard features of the product."
"The embedded AI is very beneficial for automations, and it provides a lot of help to customers."
"The product has good functionality."
"ERP Cloud's most valuable features are general ledger, accounting, expense management, and procurement. These four functions are crucial."
"The main component is Oracle Financial. It is one of the most comprehensive financial solutions available on the market."
"The solution is versatile with various integrated tools such as connecting with finance modules, controlling parameters, and creating universal journals."
"The ability to access and analyze data in real-time has significantly improved our reporting efficiency."
"The guidance SAP offers for implementing the product is clear and the online resources are great."
"S4HANA Cloud is reliable and accurate. Our existing team also has expertise in SAP, so it was simple to migrate to the cloud solution. S4HANA Cloud has advantages because we don't need to maintain the infrastructure, and there aren't any huge upfront costs."
"If anyone wants to check data, like dashboards, S/4HANA also provides those facilities via Fiori apps. S/4HANA delivers everything related to the business process."
"The technical support team has been responsive and helpful, addressing issues and providing solutions promptly whenever needed."
"Performs well and can be used with a wide range of devices."
"I like that it saves every transaction, so anything is traceable."
 

Cons

"I would like to see Oracle improve the automation of data entry."
"The solution could benefit from improvements in project management, project execution, and project costing, especially for industries like construction."
"Improve support services in the new features roadmap."
"The solution's new analytics information, dashboard, and flexibility of reporting could be improved."
"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."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP's interface needs to be improved."
"In terms of areas for improvement, there are still a lot of other features that need to be incorporated into the future releases of Oracle ERP Cloud. We're hoping those would come soon because they're available in other ERP systems. For example, we used to have a lot of AME customizations in the BPM, but now we have a very limited scope, so it would be great if we could extend our scope. Currently, we are working with product teams to get through some of those solutions, and how we could implement them, so we have some workarounds to deal with, but we still have a long road ahead."
"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 implementation time for S/4HANA Cloud could be reduced."
"We have encountered challenges with integration projects, particularly between SAP and non-SAP systems, which have caused delays."
"SAP S/4HANA Cloud's customization can be improved."
"The pricing is high."
"The proposition by SAP does not match the value realization."
"The scalability of SAP S/4HANNA is an area that could be improved."
"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 only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive and there are some services that are extra costs."
"For an ERP Cloud, the pricing is relatively high."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is not a cheap solution."
"The pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud is on par with other top solutions."
"The price is average compared to other vendors. The licensing is on a yearly basis depending on the subscription pattern. There are no extra costs apart from licensing."
"The price of the solution is expensive. There are additional costs associated with this particular case that must be taken into consideration when calculating the overall expense. These costs may include but are not limited to, additional materials, labor, and other miscellaneous expenses that may arise during the course of the project. It is important to note that these additional costs may exceed the initial pricing estimate."
"The product pricing is based on a per-user model. It is expensive."
"I don't remember the specifics about the licensing, but it's scaled and modular. You pay for what you use. It's not a one-size-fits-all license. You have a license for every single module. It's similar to Oracle."
"SAP S/4 Hana isn't cheap, but its value depends on how much you can leverage from it. It's not just about the system but how well your people are trained to use it and adapt to derive benefits."
"I feel the solution is expensive when it comes to what can be obtained with open source software."
"The solution is affordable."
"It's very expensive."
"Its pricing is way over any of the other ERPs. I'd rate it one out of ten in terms of pricing."
"The solution’s pricing is very high."
"The pricing of SAP S/4HANA Cloud is on the higher side."
