"ECS is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"Alibaba Cloud allows for easy setup of mirror sites and backup servers, ensuring data redundancy and high availability."
"We have approximately 1,000 people using the solution in my organization. The solution is scalable."
"It is indeed a stable solution, but it depends on how you architecture the component in AWS. If the component has the right architecture and is properly provisioned and placed, then it will be a stable platform."
"After the implementation phase of the product, it becomes a very stable tool."
"The most valuable features of SAP S4HANA on AWS are that it's simplified and the analytical capabilities are good."
"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."
"It's easy to use and user-friendly."
"The system has the capacity to manage all these departments in a single box and they're all integrated."
"We have found the retail business features to be the most valuable."
"The solution needs to improve its graphical user interface."

"Alibaba Cloud has some problems related to latency and connection issues. If you go for a cloud solution provider, you will need to access the Internet, which may result in latency and bandwidth issues, leading to slowness in operations."
"Alibaba Cloud's initial setup is somewhat complex."
"The user experience must be improved."
"From a performance point of view, Huawei and Azure are faster. Alibaba isn't as good."
"Alibaba Cloud needs to increase availability in Thailand."
"The solution should have more integration."
"The product's implementation phase can be very complex for customers."
"SAP S4HANA on AWS could improve by having the entire solution available as a web solution. They only have Fiori right now, and it's a solution for certain modules, but not for all the modules that SAP currently has. We would like to see the GUI removed, it is not very good. We want it to be web-based."
"There are a few complexities when it comes to licensing that could be simplified."
"Businesses are particularly interested in process automation, mobile, and web applications. These are the areas that SAP S4HANA is and should be looking to improve on, especially in terms of streamlining processes and automating certain steps."
"The initial setup could be easier. It's complex."
"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."
"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."
"I would like for them to have more integration with virtualization platforms."
