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.

"SAP S4HANA Cloud has improved the efficiency and visibility of business operations, leading to potential cost and time savings."

"I like the SAP offerings and the standard best practices included in the SAP S/4HANA Cloud version."
"SAP S4HANA Cloud is stable, and its computational power and speed have improved in later versions."
 

Cons

"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."
"Improve support services in the new features roadmap."
"I would like to see an improved approach to pulling data with VDI."
"The tool must enable users to customize the reports."
"We have had concerns about the security and flexibility of the application. The approach with Oracle ERP Cloud should be more holistic rather than user or computer-based."
"The interface could be improved in future releases."
"I would like to see Oracle improve the automation of data entry."

"The implementation time for S/4HANA Cloud could be reduced."
"The pricing is way over any of the other ERPs, and the bank integrations are not perfect. There are a lot of costs for other implementations and integrations with Salesforce and other systems. Rather than being a fully-fledged system on its own like most of the other ERPs, it relies too much on developed integrations by the implementation partner."
"It is a complicated solution. So it should be easier to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is reasonable in the global market"
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP is reasonable and recommended for medium-sized enterprises. It might be a bit expensive for smaller businesses, but it is a good product if they have sufficient users."
"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 tool’s price must be improved."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."
"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 solution is quite expensive."
"The pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud is on par with other top solutions."
"The solution’s pricing is very high."
"The pricing model can be complicated in certain scenarios."
"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'm not directly involved in the pricing discussions; it's more of a concern for the finance team."
"The solution's costs have significantly increased, and we have not seen any anticipated cost savings."
"The license for S/4HANA is expensive, and the licensing structure is hard to understand. The admin license is something like 500 euros per user. Other ERP solutions allowed you to pick only the modules you need. The SAP ECC version requires you to take all the modules even if you are not using them."
"The licensing process for SAP S/4HANA Cloud has worked well."
"I feel the solution is expensive when it comes to what can be obtained with open source software."
