SAP S/4HANA Cloud Reviews

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. 

We have to deploy add-ons integrated with the B1 when we are on the cloud option, and we face challenges with web integrations. Right now, when we attempt web integration, some of the ports are not open. There are infrastructure issues like IP conflicts and switches that need to be redefined. 

Integrating SAP with other products like payroll solutions should be smoother. I wish there were some tools a consultant could build according to the client's requirements. For example, say I want to process debit and credits. In SAP, we have to follow SAP terminologies and patterns. I need a template to deploy my structure according to the client's requirements. There is no structure available in SAP that a consultant can mold.

This product is implemented in 35 domains across multiple organizations with different structures, so there is a bottleneck in multiple segments. The consultant needs different models to help with the financials. 

I have worked with S4HANA Cloud for two years, but I have eight years of experience with on-premise SAP solutions.

S4HANA Cloud is stable.

S4HANA Cloud is scalable. Over the last six years, you can see how much it has improved. SAP has added multiple modules, new features, and patches. The usage depends on the company structure. Some companies need 20 to 30 licenses while others may require more than 100.

We submitted multiple requests to SAP for technical support, and their response was quite good. 

S4HANA seems quite complicated when you first deploy it, but after you go through the setup procedure once, the next implementation is smooth. The maintenance depends on the complexity of the deployment and the company's structure. For example, plant maintenance requires three to four users. It all depends on the company structure, like the number of call centers involved, revenue, etc. 

One consultant can handle the deployment by themselves. It's not so complex.

I rate SAP S4HANA Cloud seven out of 10. 

The manufacturing is a good feature. 

Their revolving AI should should be better improved. 

I have experience using SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

The stability depends on the infrastructure. 

The solution is highly scalable. We have a very large company. 

The initial setup is complex. The deployment takes six to eight months. 

The solution is affordable. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. 

We use SAP S/4HANA Cloud to pull data and analyze it in Excel.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud is designed to support data analytics, making it a good solution for organizations that are looking to gain insights into their business data.

It is good in data analytics and helps in data analytics.

The scalability of SAP S/4HANNA is an area that could be improved.

I have been working with SAP products for eight years.

This solution is quite stable.

Scalability could be improved. 

I would rate the scalability a five or a six out of ten.

Technical support is good.

I would rate them an eight out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. It is not very complex.

It took a year to deploy this solution.

A consultant provided assistance to us in our organization.

I am not aware of the pricing.

I would rate SAP S/4HANA Cloud a nine out of ten.

I am a consultant for this product. Many of my customers use this for various product and finance processes. This is a user-friendly, comprehensive solution to manage finance.

With the newer update, there are more funnels as well as ample opportunity to customize the solution. With the SAP Optimizer, companies are using about five to ten percent of the product as-is while the other ninety to ninety five percent is customized to automate and standardize processes.

The price is mainly suitable for larger companies, even then, there may be other, cheaper solutions.

Additionally, this solution is the result of multiple acquisitions leaving room for there to be issues with performance.

I have been using this solution since 2013 when is was strictly marketed within the telecom industry.

This is a stable solution.

This is a scalable solution that best fits larger companies.

I have not needed to contact support.

The initial setup can be straightforward if the people are prepared in the right way. 

This is a pricey solution that best serves large enterprises. Be sure to ensure that your company's requirements need to be fulfilled by SAP. There are many other ERP's that are cheaper yet highly functional. 

However, it is still cheaper than some of the competition (i.e. Oracle, ESD, etc.)

When setting up the solution, be sure to train your people on the platform so that they can standardize new processes, not imitate what they had in the past.

We primarily use the solution for data governance. It is a lot of mastering data and depends on the organization and how the organization is structured. There can be more centralized data or data structured for the organization. You can work on the localization where it's an expanded version of oversight for data governance. It varies, however, it's really driven by master data maintenance and product compliance behind that maintenance, managing, and governing of master data.

The flexibility is a very valuable aspect of the solution for us. That said, it depends on the client. Clients who would like quality with that core control over security will like this product. Clients who prefer more process-driven governance rather than more agile setups can also easily work with it. 

The tool selection is really robust and scalable for multiple scenarios.

Technical support is very good.

The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment. 

I've been dealing with the solution for a long time. It's likely been about 20 years. I started using it when I first started out.

The scalability is great. Companies can use it in various ways and there's a large too selection that makes it very scalable. 

Technical support is quite helpful and responsive. I would rate them at an eight or nine out of ten. We are very satisfied with the level of support we receive.

The complexity or straightforwardness of the setup depends on the implementation scenarios. It's all driven by how complex the current environment is and what they want to do - including which components they want to use. The product offers deluxe flexibility for multiple complicated or simplified scenarios.

How many people a company will need for deployment and maintenance all goes back to the scope of the work and the types of organizations and then what the rollout looks like. From my previous experience, an organization might need anywhere from one to 100  people. It depends on if it's a global company versus a local regional company.

The cost of the solution depends on the licensing agreement between SAP and the company and that changes all the time. It can vary.

We are just a customer and an end-user.

We are likely using the latest solution. The product goes back to an earlier SAP version before they had the data governance. They had this thing called MDM. Now, it's a more recent version. It's called data intelligence, which is an all-data product package. It's the same product, just a different release with a few different options.

I would advise those considering implementing the solution to make sure the solution's setup
is driven from the business approach and is process-driven before looking into the data governance. They need to start from the source profiling data for source mapping.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

The primary use cases of SAP S/4HANA Cloud include working with a mining company, an automotive company, and a project-based company.

As an implementation partner, we work with customers who are already using SAP and are moving them to Quick Cloud. This makes the system less customized and easier to use.

For supply chain management, we are using WMS. When you go to public cloud, you get a full-fledged EWM. In terms of analytics, the real-time analytics capabilities are also valuable.

Variant configuration is needed. It is currently not available. More continuous updates based on customer feedback are required to make it a full-fledged system.

We have been working with SAP S/4HANA Cloud for almost two years.

The support team is good and offers significant help, but there is room for improvement. There are gaps that require escalation to the next team level, and sometimes R&D is needed from their side.

Neutral

We were previously working with SuccessFactors.

For larger companies, the cost is manageable. However, for smaller companies, the cost is quite high because it is a subscription model. The cost is almost twice to three times higher due to high yearly investments.

For smaller companies, we suggest going for SAP with a lesser license.

Generally, new businesses can move in for one thing. They should consider the costs due to the SaaS model. The cost can be reduced if SAP allows smaller FEU packages, which would also benefit smaller companies.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

The most valuable feature of SAP S/4HANA Cloud is the new UX design.

The solution’s reporting could be improved.

I have been using SAP S/4HANA Cloud for more than 20 years.

Sometimes, we have performance issues with the solution.

I rate SAP S/4HANA Cloud a five out of ten for stability.

Our clients for SAP S/4HANA Cloud are mostly enterprise businesses.

I rate SAP S/4HANA Cloud an eight out of ten for scalability.

The solution’s initial setup is difficult.

The solution's deployment takes up to 24 months. The solution was deployed on Google and Microsoft Azure cloud.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, but it's not preferable for enterprise customers.

Overall, I rate SAP S/4HANA Cloud a seven out of ten.

We are resellers of this product.

SAP S4HANA Cloud is one of the best products in enterprise solutions, especially for manufacturing, retail, logistics, wholesaling, and distribution. I've worked with other ERP systems, and SAP is a very good product.

SAP promotes the cloud, but customers are worried about the security of their data. SAP suggests they have SAP S4HANA with RISE, which is a private cloud environment, but it is difficult to sell many of the customers on the cloud concept because of the privacy issues. Customers definitely look for how their data can be protected in a larger organization.

The interface is an area where improvement is needed. From the interface perspective, there are a couple of products which are definitely available only on cloud, like Ariba. In that case, if there's a public cloud, then they need to go for SuccessFactors. There is a combination of SuccessFactors without Payroll, and then you have your ERP on-premise, S4HANA on-premise with finance and the HCM component of Payroll, so that you can have data protected over there. 

SuccessFactors is a public cloud because they have good connectivity between their systems and the VTP platform. On the other hand, if Ariba is for a very large organization, this is a concern.

For the banking and finance sector, SAP S4HANA Cloud has competition with Oracle.

I would rate technical support 4.5 out of 5.

I would rate this solution 9 out of 10.
