"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics AX is customization."

"The solution makes its use and the management of our infrastructure easy."
"At present, it seems very stable because it is in the cloud."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the SAP Fiori application."
"We're able to get all our processes flowing together. We're able to make all of our business processes talk to each other."
"The most valuable feature is that HANA loads from memory, which means it loads very quickly."

"S4HANA is relatively stable."
"The initial setup can be complex at times and has room for improvement."

"The user interface could be better."
"There should be the capability for users to enhance the application by using a low-code or no-code product from the Microsoft family."

"The on-premises and desktop versions are not user-friendly."
"At times there are issues related to reporting, sometimes with the integration between two or three modules, and sometimes to the logic itself."
"It could be more scalable and stable. It would also be better if the interface were more integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem because 2012 is not really integrated."
"Items that impact the TCO should be improved because the solution is very complex to integrate and keep running."
"It requires a lot of planning to implement the product correctly."
"An area for improvement would be integration with different kinds of legacies. In the next release, I would like the product to be prepared for blockchain technology and the best way to communicate with social networking."
"The customer service and support are average. There is room for improvement in response time."
"The difficulty level of the initial setup depends on the person's skills. If you know the basic knowledge of the database, then it will be easy, otherwise, it will be very difficult."

"So, there is room for improvement in pricing. HANA is not a simple product; it's quite complex by design."
