We performed a comparison between Microsoft Dynamics GP and SAP S/4HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is easy to use and not complicated. Also, it is easy to get trained on. Also, there is good information available on the web. The GP community is quite broad and there are many blogs online."
"The solution is easy to use."
"You can track everything from beginning to end quite easily."
"The most valuable feature is financial control. The accounting aspect allows us to manage our clients and payments."
"It is a tried and tested ERP system which if used correctly, is definitely a very good program for managing all aspects of a business from customer sales, and receivables management, to payable management and finance reporting. So, it's super critical for any mid-sized company."
"The system is easy to customize and has user-friendly access. "
"We have gained the capability to control and address various issues within the financial module effectively."
"I haven't used it a lot, but the best thing is that the processes are very detailed."
"S/4HANA offers a lot of additional capability with respect to performance due to its in-built architecture for many functions including finance, production, quality, manufacturing, inventory or sales distribution and logistics."
"We have access to all types of reports in a single solution."
"It is really fast. It is also very stable."
"The processes have been reduced from almost 10 steps to four or five steps. It's really been simplified."
"SAP S4HANA is a robust solution."
"The initial setup is not complex; it's more at a medium level. Not too easy, but with the right knowledge, you can configure it."
"The most valuable feature is the perfect end-to-end integration."
"S4HANA is a completely integrated solution. It's an end-to-end ERP system with strong manufacturing and financial integration, which is not common among ERPs. And it's a solution that's driven by industry best practices."
"It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. "
"Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications."
"As technology changes, I would say probably in the area of chart up account needs improvement because chart up account is a string. So if they make it more flexible."
"It requires a lot of expertise to implement."
"The issue we're encountering is that it's primarily designed for independent installations and not initially structured as a cloud-based solution, which has led to challenges with connectivity."
"The biggest problem with GP is that it's not cloud based and it doesn't lend itself to subscription licensing. But Microsoft wants everything in the cloud and licensed on a subscription basis.Even tThough GP can be deployed on a cloud server, but basically, it's a Windows based product. It uses the older model and companies purchase the program and pay a 16-18 sixteen- eighteen percent annual renewal fee but Microsoft wants everybody to pay monthly or annual renewal fees on a subscription basis."
"There should also be extra redundancy when posting to modules. We use different sets of books such as CashBook and CheckBooks therefore if I select the wrong one the solution allows the transaction to just pass without warning."
"Many of our customers are migrating to the cloud rather than staying on-premises."
"There are some problems with the support provided for the solution, so it is not quite easy. It takes some time for them to offer us support."
"The solution could be more user-friendly for regular users and developers."
"SAP support provides resolves all our problems, but the response time is slower than our customers expect. Maybe it's because they have such a large customer base and are always occupied, but that's one area all our customers mention."
"The product's use of resources could be improved, as it is quite intensive at the moment."
"The solution could improve by making customization easier. The on-premise version is a lot more flexible."
"Their yearly licensing is expensive. Improvements are needed on the user experience level and digital work."
"There should be a place where I can get the best available applications in one place. Currently, Fiori applications are available in different tiles on the dashboards. If anyone wants to check the financial, sales, and inventory reporting in one place, it is not possible in Fiori. We would have to develop a custom Fiori application. If that feature can be incorporated into the standard Fiori, it will be helpful for us."
"If S4HANA has more AI and machine learning, it will be better and easier for reporting and dashboarding."
