No specific feature stood out as especially valuable. It's a well-established ERP solution, so all of it was good. We stuck to the original solution in some areas where we couldn't manipulate it much. Where needed, we used our development on an SQL platform, taking relevant data from the tool, manipulating it, and sending it back using interfaces. We didn't use real-time analytics because we didn't need it. Our data refresh frequency of one to two hours was good enough for us. It wasn't about cost but necessity. We didn't want to load the system unnecessarily when our business needs were met with less frequent updates. We used SAP S/4 Hana with other tools in our ecosystem. We extracted data through interfaces for multiple ancillary solutions. For example, we integrated it with our warehouse management system, not SAP's. We used real-time interfaces for some things, but for analytics like Power BI and SQL analytics, we updated data every one to three hours, depending on needs. I'm a strong supporter of integration. You can't expect to have all the solutions on one platform. Different solutions excel in order processing, procurement planning, workflow management, or data analytics. Integration is the best way to combine these strengths. Integrating tools with SAP S/4 Hana wasn't too difficult because we had a good technical team. It has standard interfaces for sharing critical data. It can be challenging without people who have in-depth knowledge of the modules and processes. But with the right team, it's just a matter of good design, testing, and rollout. We didn't use AI features as our implementation was in 2017-2019 before AI became prominent. I haven't worked with other equivalent platforms, but from what I hear, the tool is among the top. Nothing is perfect, as it's all man-made, so I'd rate it an eight out of ten.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. SAP is a state-of-the-art solution. I have never seen, and I can't compare it with, any other competitor. The depth of the solution is huge. The cost and affordability are the biggest concerns. Price is an obstacle. It will be an obstacle for small and medium-sized enterprises. It's a lovely solution. But, I don't recommend it for very small enterprises. Why? Because it's like we are bringing in a nuclear bomb for just a street fight. It would be too excessive for them for small businesses to get such a huge solution.

I recommend S/4HANA 100%. It is user-friendly ERP software and 100% trusted, with no chance for scams. Business processes run smoothly, and we can completely see our balance sheet, profit and loss, and year-end closing with tenure. It's the best, ten out of ten.

Overall, I would rate SAP S/4HANA Cloud as a six out of ten.

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

In my experience of nearly two decades in the ERP field, I highly recommend choosing SAP S/4HANA Cloud. SAP is a reliable and user-friendly ERP, and its integration with the public cloud ensures continuous updates without the hassles of migration or upgrades. It offers ease of deployment, a user-friendly interface, incorporation of good business practices, preconfigured solutions, scalability, and straightforward upgrade and management processes. Overall, I would rate SAP S/4HANA Cloud as an eight 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.

I would recommend the solution to those who are already working with SAP. I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

The solution is deployed on a private cloud. People can access the public cloud using all the necessary authentication. So we have both private and public service applications. We are working in parallel with OutSystems, which is far better for SAP. Overall, I rate SAP S/4HANA Cloud a ten out of ten.

I rate SAP S/4HANA eight out of 10. Before implementing an ERP tool, you should understand your needs, processes, and business requirements.

The maintenance of the solution can be outsourced, done in-house by a selected team, or a hybrid of the two. Most companies have hybrid maintenance programs. SAP S/4HANA Cloud is not one of the top solutions when evaluating other solutions on the market. This solution is a bit rigid. I rate SAP S/4HANA Cloud an eight out of ten.

Get a very good implementation partner because the prices of the subscription itself vary depending on the partner, and the price of the implementation, which is more than the price of the subscription for the first two years, would also vary significantly. The implementation partner does a lot of the work of implementing the system and making a lot of customizations, which are implemented automatically in a general ERP but need to be done in SAP. So, if you have a bad partner, it will be painful for you. I'd rate SAP S/4HANA Cloud a six out of ten.

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

Those who want to implement this solution need to determine the purpose for which they want to use it. It makes the most sense if they have their entire system based on SAP, they can opt for SAP S/4HANA Cloud. It is a highly advanced application. I would recommend that the team make their decision based on their specific needs and use cases. I rate SAP S/4HANA Cloud a seven out of ten.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. The solution is good but can be improved by including modules for after-sales service and enabling integration with third parties. SAP is prominent in the market, and it has many solutions adaptable to different kinds of industries. Enterprises also tend to focus on digitalization and digital management. SAP was one of the first to be available for this demand because it was already on the market. So they were pushing their activities and their marketing as well. So that's how they got into the market first, and they rapidly improved based on feedback.

I recommend the solution and rate it a nine out of ten.

S/4HANA Cloud is a top-notch product and a stable, reliable system for managing a business. I'd advise anybody implementing this solution to do it on cloud rather than local and private data centers and to check SAP's documentation to get an idea of the implementation time and costs. I would give S/4HANA Cloud a rating of eight out of ten.

I strongly recommend using SAP S4HANA Cloud as it's much better than competing ERP products. Also, if you have in-detail production processes, I would strongly suggest using the PP/DS module. I would give SAP S4HANA Cloud a rating of nine out of ten.

If possible, use simpler solutions, particularly if your business is not complex. Overall, I would give SAP S4HANA Cloud a five out of ten.

I rate SAP S4HANA Cloud seven out of 10.

I would rate this solution 9 out of 10.

I rate S/4HANA eight out of 10. I recommend it. My advice is that you need to clearly define your requirements before purchasing SAP or any ERP software. You also must ensure that your implementation partner is qualified. SAP is a great product, but you need a good implementation partner to implement it correctly.

I would recommend the solution to others. We have 18 years or so of experience with SAP and we've always found the solution to be excellent. We deeply understand SAP and SAP culture. We understand the processes and how to leverage everything for the betterment of our business. We're totally aligned with SAP. I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

I don't have much information about AWS, but it's booming. I hear a lot of customers moving to AWS because they say it's stable and has no major issues with it. I have more experience with SAP S/4HANA Cloud though, and it's fantastic. It's going very well. Most of the small to medium companies are now moving to business by design. This is a very great application. Hana hosting vs AWS: It is the same in Hana, but on cloud. I'm talking about the cloud application, e.g. ByD. This is great. This solution isn't resource-intensive. It's a low-key solution. S4 Hana on cloud vs on-premises: It's been years since on-premise deployment has been applied. All should move to the cloud version. You will be forced to move to the cloud version. No more on-premise will be available for this solution. I've been working in the last five or six years focusing on SAP cloud applications, even the on-premises ones. It ranks number one from my point of view. The other products in the market are also doing fine, but from the integration point of view, especially in the production and manufacturing industries: It's the number one application in manufacturing, so this gives a great advantage to SAP. I would say to every CEO or to any company that they should start looking into moving their applications and their database. They should move everything to cloud before they are forced to do it because of limited time. They need to be proactive in this direction because there's a lot of benefits from the cloud from a performance perspective. It helps people to focus on data analysis, reports, and maintenance of cloud environments. It requires less effort on the IT people, so we can use them to start focusing on other current digitalization requirements. There's a lot of challenges and they need to sprint all of their work e.g. field work, work related to hardware and networking switches, etc. I'm giving this solution a score of eight out of ten.

Sometimes we choose to use other solutions because of the problems with the UX design. I wouldn't recommend this solution for smaller companies, but it's good for bigger ones as it makes it easier to design your processes. I would rate this solution as eight out of ten.

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 version we use is S/4HANA Cloud. I rate SAP S4HANA Cloud as a seven out of ten.

Make sure that you realize the impact that it is going to have on the business. It is a really good product. When you have a private deployment and you want to make a change, it will take you one hour. When it is in the cloud and you want to make a change, it will take 15 days. If you are going for cloud deployment, make sure you take into account these timeframes. I would rate SAP S4HANA Cloud an eight out of ten.

The advice that I would give to others looking into implementing the S/4HANA cloud is to prepare your organization on the front-end before you even go down the path of any ERP implementation. Get your organization right-minded in the beginning, then go down the path. You need buy-in and training. Companies talk about doing that, but they do not do that. That lack of follow-through is why they end up failing with their implementation. On a scale from one to ten, where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate the S/4HANA Cloud as a good, solid eight or nine. Choosing between the two, I go with eight. That gives them something more to shoot for.
