We performed a comparison between SAP S/4HANA and SYSPRO based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."It's reliable and the performance is good."
"It is really fast. It is also very stable."
"A user-friendly UI with good documentation."
"We have access to all types of reports in a single solution."
"The key modules that I find most valuable are material management (MM), financial accounting and controlling (FICO), and human resources (HR)."
"Because I'm a procure-to-pay consultant, I mostly look at that angle, and I have a bit of experience with sales and distribution. I also like the integration between S/4HANA and other ERPs because S/4HANA is a suite. For example, the integration between S/4HANA and EWM Transportation Management, and Ariba."
"S/4HANA falls under a single terminal. We can easily access the data, and the performance is good."
"The processes have been reduced from almost 10 steps to four or five steps. It's really been simplified."
"The Financial Accounting module, in general, is quite good. It is quite simple but powerful. Similarly, the Manufacturing functionality, including a multiple level bill of materials, is also quite useful."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"The product's use of resources could be improved, as it is quite intensive at the moment."
"The Capex and Opex could be improved."
"If S4HANA has more AI and machine learning, it will be better and easier for reporting and dashboarding."
"In an upcoming release of SAP S4HANA, chain management should be easier."
"While the solution contemplates a competitively priced model, its pricing could be cheaper."
"The solution is complex technically because both an old and a new path exist."
"I'm not a big fan of SAP S/4HANA because it needs a lot of hardware. It is really fast, but it needs a lot of hardware. The hardware for S/4HANA is too expensive."
"SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module. One of my clients is a project-based organization, and they're finding it extremely difficult to manage their business using SYSPRO, to the point that they're looking at alternative solutions. The Projects and Contracts module is not a very useful tool. It does project accounting reasonably well, but in terms of putting in proper structures, like a work breakdown structure and so forth, it's actually quite poor. Their design or their architecture for the Projects module isn't good enough. They need to redesign it and redevelop it. They have made improvements. However, the problem is that if you're building on a bad foundation, then your building isn't going to be very strong. That's principally their problem. Any heavy equipment company would have a requirement to keep their equipment available for production. In that sense, SYSPRO has no maintenance management functionality. There's also no functionality for field services management. These two functionalities are critical for places like mines or for heavy equipment manufacturers who service the aftermarket and so forth. From a product perspective, this obviously isn't a good place to be because they are sort of taking themselves out of the market for quite a number of industries. They are constrained to manufacturing and distribution."
