"The system is easy to customize and has user-friendly access. "
"The fixed assets, payroll, the data module, and user-friendliness are most valuable."
"It is scalable enough. We have over a hundred end users using it."
"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."
"Responsive, comprehensive and optimized solution."
"The infrastructure resources are also effectively used. It is very optimized; used in a very optimized manner."
"SAP S4HANA version 1909 is stable. We have not gone live with 2020 yet."
"One of the most valuable features, which we used the most, was the FI module, for finance. It involved controlling, account receivables, account payables, and complete financial steering."
"The most valuable feature is that HANA loads from memory, which means it loads very quickly."
"SAP S4HANA is a robust solution."
"It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. "
"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."
"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."
"Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications."
"It requires a lot of expertise to implement."
"This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time."
"With payroll, the payroll that they have offers US or Canadian tax. However, here, our tax payments are different from the US and Canada. It is very difficult to put in our tax tables. We need some customization. It should be readily available for any country to use according to their tax implications. The system should know different types of tax regimes around the world so that it can accommodate. It's a little bit rigid on that."
"The purchase order and processing aspects of the solution should be improved."
"It is simple to implement SAP S4HANA. If you are already in this type of environment, then the transition is not very complex. However, if you do not then it can be difficult."
"This solution works with the configuration, if the prerequisites are very clear and can be configured it works perfectly. If you need to simulate something, as a predictive tool this kind of simulation is not very accurate and it has limitations. This is something that could improve."
"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."
"The customer service and support are average. There is room for improvement in response time."
"Their yearly licensing is expensive. Improvements are needed on the user experience level and digital work."
"There should be an easier way to migrate customers from all versions to SAP S/4HANA."
"Maybe its user interface and reporting can be improved across the board, but it is manageable."
"It's an expensive solution"
