This solution has one of the most modern databases and it is very stable.

There are two main features that we find very valuable. One is the interface and the new user experience. That's really, really helpful for the end-user. The second is the HANA database itself because it speeds up the process. In other solutions, like Oracle, there is a lot of redundancy that slows things down.

I like that they are very familiar with our VM which makes it easy to use.

The Fiori interface is the most valuable feature. It's one of the highlights that they offer. The in-memory of S4 is very fast.

SAP S4HANA on AWS has high performance. All the data is in one place and it's real-time. When you make an entry you don't have to wait a couple of minutes, hours, or overnight as something the batch process takes time. It is instantaneous and is available to everybody.

The solution needs a warehouse management feature. Right now, there's a built-in WM, but they don't have an EWM extended warehouse management built-in, in S/4HANA. It's a separate product. So if they can add that, that would be great.

The GUI is age-old, the pricing is too high for hardware and older customizations are not working consistently.

Not just S4 but for SAP in general, the price is a little high because they have implemented a new licensing scheme on a number of connections. The price being too expensive is some of the feedback we get from our customers.

The product could use more capabilities in the areas of robotics, machine learning and artificial intelligence, but these improvements are already on the way.

The drawback of this tool versus an on-site tool is that you've got to upgrade the tool. The software is upgraded as it gets upgraded and you've got to be ready to change whatever processes and do whatever training you need to do.

The initial setup could be easier. It's complex.
