Cloud access has improved reporting and sales operations across global locations
I cannot say anything about what areas of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud could be improved or enhanced because so far, we are happy with this implementation. We are not facing any problem, or I cannot say that this can be improved. Although SAP keeps improving themselves day by day, we cannot say that SAP needs to improve anything. One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day. Before, it was not too much higher, but I don't know why they are increasing their price. They should see this thing, so other customers, such as SMBs customers or small and mid-sized customers, can also avail this thing. Otherwise, we don't have any problem. First, there is the limitation. If you are a SAP user, you don't feel any problem with the limitation because if you know how to use the product, you can easily implement this thing. Otherwise, if you don't know the business process or how to integrate and implement, it could be a problem. We have a limitation, but we developed some add-ons for this. So we fulfilled these requirements.

Improves efficiencies, has encryption, and great mission-critical customer support
Previously we had an amateur solution where we were managing on our own data center but we had the management in-house. It was a strategic move to give people who were more competent and with business focus other core initiatives. It was a strategic outsource model. The equipment we were using was out date and at the end of its life cycle, we had to make some transitions, do a hardware replacement, or move on. We moved on to this solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like the most is that we can convert databases into a proper multi-dimensional model, and then we can project with the integration with Power BI."
"The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."
"The solution does provide quite a lot of support, upgrades, automated batch updates, etc."
"This solution is as good as any other S/4HANA SAP solution. The continuous support we get is very valuable."
"Fiori is the most valuable feature, as well as the the integration between S/4 and another solution as an extension."
"The solution has encryption which we did not have before."
 

Cons

"SAP should adopt more rapid changes in market processes and customer needs to deliver solutions that meet new industry requirements swiftly."
"The main thing is that SAP needs to give better response times for support tickets."
"One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day."
"The product must provide more details of the errors."
"The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data."
"The only thing that could be improved is the cost."
"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."
"It’s a common challenge with applications like Microsoft and SAP that they tend to rely on engineers rather than human resources personnel for knowledge and implementation."
"Our account representative was inexperienced, they could improve on how they are managing accounts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is expensive compared to the competition."
"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."
"I rate the product's price a five out of ten."
"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."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"The solution could be less expensive."
"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
"The product itself is relatively expensive."
"The solution is a bit expensive, we are still negotiating the price."
