Featured Reviews

Mahmoud Paridehpour - PeerSpot reviewer
VP of Ecommerce & Information Systems at Four Seasons General Merchandise
Offers extensive features for efficient operations in small to midsize businesses
The solution is very good. However, for very small companies, maybe a cloud service is better. Other software like QuickBooks may work well if you do not have many employees and require simple invoicing and inventory. This software, though, is a bit more advanced compared to QuickBooks, offering flexibility, multi-user capability, and options for application development. It connects directly to the database for reporting or external systems, which is beneficial for companies needing more advanced features. However, if I need a very complex system, Sage might not be suitable. Overall, I would rate this product an eight out of ten.

Manager Sap at PTCL
Integrated workflows have streamlined hiring, purchasing, and daily operations across departments
Areas of SAP S_4HANA that could be improved or enhanced include the evolving aspects of the application over time. There are other SAP applications such as SuccessFactors and Ariba that integrate with SAP S_4HANA. In recent years, SAP introduced an addition called RISE with SAP, which allows companies to use cloud solutions instead of requiring their own premises hardware. SAP partners with cloud providers such as Azure, Amazon, and Google, assisting companies in migrating from hardware to cloud solutions. A challenge that arises is the lack of immediate expertise when raising tickets for problem resolution with SAP, leading to delays. We have asked SAP to improve this area to provide users with better benefits from the cloud solution, as we encounter this issue frequently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The warehouse module is imperative in keeping our records up-to-date because we have multiple locations."
"The product provides consistent updates and upgrades."
"The technical support is very good."
"Regarding the cost, it is cheap. I pay a one-time fee instead of a monthly license fee per user."
"For me, it is a ten because I did not have any problems or issues."
"It is an enterprise solution, which is adopted by many organizations, and it's robust."
"SAP S4HANA provides a solution towards a green industry, and they keep making different versions of the solution to meet the needs of different industries, such as automotive and utilities."
"The latest version from SAP is highly valued."
"SAP S/4HANA is a comprehensive ERP solution that provides better performance."
"The features that I find most helpful in my day-to-day operations with SAP S/4HANA are primarily related to data management. Real-time data analytics has significantly enhanced decision-making processes by providing instant insights into business processes and trends. The user experience with the SAP S/4HANA interface has also seen notable improvements, particularly in terms of a more friendly and personalized UI."
"I highly recommend this solution. It is very easy to scale within businesses, especially when a new business falls within the range."
"It is really fast, and it is also very stable."
"I have no issues with the stability of the product, as everything seems to be fine."
 

Cons

"We're definitely looking at a new system because everything in this product needs improving."
"The vendor stopped supporting the solution on the Linux platform."
"Updating incorrect information takes a specific process to correctly back out the error to fix it."
"While the software may not be very expensive, it lacks many advanced features found in other software."
"Technical support has been declining. They aren't as responsive as they used to be."
"There is a need to improve the migration process."
"Every time I connect, it's very slow."
"Small businesses that have a small user base find this solution too expensive."
"We would like to see more DevOps capabilities in the future."
"Introducing better functions to our customers with the Fiori app is not easy for consultants."
"In my opinion, areas of SAP S_4HANA that have room for improvement would be in AI and insights generation, which would be a good enhancement for the future."
"We are missing these standard packages here in Turkey. Every customer has to build their own solutions for regulatory needs, such as sending invoices to the authority."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"This is not the cheapest solution on the market, so you need to invest seriously in it. As a solid product, it has a solid price. It's definitely one of the more expensive tools on the market, but it's also one of the best products on the market."
"In Nigeria, we have to consider currency conversion rates with the Euro and Dollar that impact the final cost. But I believe that it'll be cheaper in the cloud where SAP has to do the maintenance of the server and more in the long run."
"I would rate the pricing at around six to nine out of ten depending on the edition and deployment type."
"The licensing format is complicated for SAP S/4HANA"
"The problem with SAP is that it offers two licenses, namely runtime license and enterprise license. If you have a runtime license, then you are doomed since you can't take any data out from the tool."
"The price of SAP S4HANA could be cheaper."
"The implementation costs of SAP is substantial."
"Its pricing could be better."
