Scalable and flexible platform with significant challenges related to complexity, cost management, and the need for skilled personnel
There are a couple of significant challenges we're currently facing. First, our production team can't make use of the production planning features, as they require a Professional license and we only have access to the Logistics license, which is limiting our capabilities. The majority of the reports we generate are intended for managerial purposes. While most reports are straightforward to comprehend, there are a few exceptions that can be quite complex. It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines. This is crucial for monitoring all activities within our manufacturing processes, from software operations to the machinery used.
Rajnikant Verma - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time data processing and good support with room for market-driven improvements
SAP RFX and overall SAP solutions provide a very intuitive and integrated solution within finance, leading procurement, and other business scenarios. The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable. SAP's capability to integrate with other systems like GIS and non-SAP applications also stands out.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The production and planning processes of the solution are very good."
"As a business technology platform, it is a flexible platform. It enables the customer to do faster integrations, and the solution's functioning requires low cost."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to access it from anywhere."
"The most valuable features of SAP Business One on AWS are the CRM and the sales module."
"The maintenance is a significant advantage as it is supported by the international community rather than the local community."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup is manageable."
"The modules, like the accounting and procurement modules, especially the finance and accounting modules, are quite impressive in the solution."
"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."
"The BTP module is important for digital transformations."
"The solution does provide quite a lot of support, upgrades, automated batch updates, etc."
"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."
"The scalability is good because we have some cloud resources to support the ERP."
"We have a wide range of use cases for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud. These include production planning, materials management, sales management, treasury, finance, appliance maintenance, real estate, and warehouse management."
"The interface is easy to manage."
"Fiori is the most valuable feature, as well as the the integration between S/4 and another solution as an extension."
 

Cons

"I feel that these vendors must be well trained so that they can deploy this solution."
"There is some room for improvement with the scalability and the pricing of the product."
"The technical support from SAP is very restricted to its knowledge base. It does not add much beyond what is already available in the knowledge base."
"The look-and-feel of the system is quite outdated as compared to a lot of other products out there."
"The warehouse management system requires further improvement."
"The AI tools, programming languages, and dashboard customization should be easier."
"It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines."
"SAP Business One on AWS could improve by adding more functionality to the web client."
"Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation."
"Our data centers are in Europe and come under GDPR regulations, and this doesn't apply to the Middle East yet. It causes a lot of confusion."
"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."
"It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance."
"The solution needs to embed or integrate with IBP to fully activate the PPT module with efficiency."
"Customization is an area of concern in SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, where improvements are required."
"The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data."
"Perhaps minor changes to the enterprise structure could be made, but the rest is fine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for me, it's not very interesting. I think it's priced at a normal level."
"There is an annual licensing fee, and it changes once you add or remove users. The solution is on the upper-end side and expensive."
"The price of the limited version is about 70,000 Pesos ($2,900 USD), and the professional version is about double at 140,000 Pesos ($5,800 USD)."
"Licenses are available on a monthly or yearly basis, and it costs about $1,200 per license, per user."
"The product is moderately priced."
"The price of SAP Business One on AWS is reasonable for what we use it for."
"The product's license is expensive. It could be cheaper."
"The tool's cost is reasonable."
"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"The solution could be less expensive."
"If you choose the minimum, it will probably cost around $1,000 USD per month if you take a contract for a year or two."
"The licensing of the solution is on a yearly basis. The normal price of the solution is quite high, but I received a special discount by making a purchase near the end of the year."
"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
"It's very, very expensive."
"The product itself is relatively expensive."
