Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Pros

The most I like possibility of improvement the production cockpit where we add many options of scrap, rework or prodoction version reporting.
It gave us great possibilities to analyze production process statistics.

Cons

Least in SAP I like the pace of work - many reports are generating some minutes.

Pros

SAP S/4 Hana is the best ERP system with easy integration with everykind of business.

Cons

The initial onboarding can be a little difficult.

Pros

The project management tools in SAP S/4HANA Cloud make it easy for me to keep track of my customers' endeavors. My experience with SAP S/4HANA Cloud over the past year has convinced me that it is the best cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution currently on the market. I like it a lot because of how well it can examine and process a transaction.

Cons

It's very expensive to set up, whether you're paying for the cloud infrastructure itself or for a consultant to help you get started. There are also significant ongoing costs associated with things like upgrades and keeping your system secure.

Pros

It was slightly better than SAP 3 or whatever the native desktop app we switched from was. It has okay customization options so you can remove some unused buttons, but that was the only improvement.

Cons

I honestly dread hearing that we are taking on a new client that uses SAP. Sure, SAP can be a powerful tool and has a lot of features, but it is too overwhelming. You need a weeklong course to just understand the basics of this program. Every function (and there are SO MANY) is not clearly labeled, instead using some alpha-numeric code (VL02, MIGO, etc), or a title that doesn't really match what it is you are trying to do. I've never used a program that takes so many button clicks to accomplish simple tasks like printing a Bill of Lading. The UI is extremely outdated.

Pros

1) It offers you flexibility and scalability. You can choose the best subscription plan for your business as per requirement.
2) Another benefit of SAP S/4 HANA Cloud is that it periodically provides you an innovation cycle. So you get access early access to new technologies and developments.
3) It lets you simplify business processes and helps you to drive digital transformation.
4) It facilitates higher availability as well as great disaster management.

Cons

We never encountered any problem with SAP S/4 HANA Cloud till now.

Initial setup and customization can be quite complex.

Pros

User Interface is easy and simple to use.

Pros

This is something enterprises definitely need to move if they are running on SAP. The best part of S/4 HANA is its processing time and intelligence. The speed at which the processing is done is amazing

Cons

Like other SAP products, this tool is expensive and the consulting or resources for the implementation are very expensive.

Pros

The ease of use is something that is really noteworthy. the software is very light and almost flawless solving every possible solution with a very little headache of work.

Cons

the con is sometimes the tasks that are to be performed need a bit of tricky code henceforth good coding tricks are needed to be learned.

Manages overall compliance and tracking of goods in Pharmaceutical industry with it's various valuable sections.

Cons

Sometimes it becomes very slow & hangs while working , which become bit difficult to work efficiently.

Pros

Real time complete data access by prevention of its duplication.

Cons

Ease of integration and multiple user login is challenging

Pros

One of the best features of SAP HANA is its high performance and real-time processing capabilities. Because it stores data in memory rather than on disk, it can handle large amounts of data and provide fast query response times. This boosts all operations of our company and minimizes downtime.

Cons

Can be complex in the beginning like all ERP tools. It also has limited integration possibilities with non-SAP systems.

Pros

User friendly GUI and easy access to tasks

Cons

no cons about S4 till now this if effective software

Pros

Ease of Access and efficient in working and downloading any report

Cons

Flowchart of P2P process and Q2C process which is available in their SAP Business One solution. I believe that is one of the best feature to have in any software.

Pros

The best thing is its versatility. It can store information from different sources and cycles according to request without a hitch. We significantly use it to oversee the resources and general undertakings are executed really well.

Cons

Few a time I have experienced hung strings which delayed down the handling and a restart was required in some cases. Apparently complex back end processes for cross-utilitarian joining particularly with finance related tasks.

Pros

As per organization needs. You could define user role-based access in the system with solid activity Log that helps in Audit. Ease of navigating different options both with mouse clicking & T-Codes. Wide-ranging reports are extremely helpful.

Cons

It is quite an expensive ERP Solution that requires extensive prior training to go live. It also prevents to capture all countries Taxes, Duties due to its certain restriction. You also have to be very particular about its customization else it could be cumbersome.

Pros

I like the ease of carrying out the activities, control management and integrated finances

Cons

It is an easy to use application, I had no problems using it

Pros

SAP HANA, or Netweaver over HANA DB (HDB) is a step into the future. Before this concept of in-memory computing and memory storage (without reading the disk all the time), some reports took very long to load. Now you can get access to a larger piece of data in seconds. HANA also brings BW to another level of real time reporting, even detailed information can be shown in no time, its very fast. The way we build views by using the HANA Modeler is very simple but yet powerful, you can do a lot with little knowledge and much more with some expertise.

Cons

The tools used to work with HANA are both the HANA Studio or Eclipse with SAP HANA plugins. In my opinion, it could be better than it is; with more components, less bugs (you have to restart the environment every once in a while) and a better explanation about how the aggregation you see has been formed (Simpler than PlanViz).

Pros

1. Audit Trail / Transaction History
2. Ease of Reporting
3. Downloading of data to Excel

I am using SAP since 2012. The best part of SAP is it keeps all the information and readymade audit trail is available. I personally like the ease of getting information via different T-codes, specially if you have access to Tables then you can download all the possible information. I have used this for FI, CO, MM & Purchasing module. The best part is that you can download all the to txt/xls format for further analysis.

Cons

SAP is very complex system and user training is very critical. The biggest issue we faced after SAP implementation is that if the trained user leaves and we have to train another user.

Pros

The ability to customize and adapt the software to the needs of the company, making it easier for the company to really know where it is and what it has.

Cons

The implementation of SAP requires that the company meets certain standards, causing implementation times to increase. In several of the flows, the company has to adapt to the software and not the company to the software.

Pros

1. GUI is very user-friendly.
2. Easy to integrate with other SAP tools.
3. Real-time analytics is possible through HANA.
4. Can store data from both heterogeneous and homogenous databases.
4. Columnar storage provides high data compression.

Cons

1. Cost of the RAM.
2. Doesn't support all the conventional SQL functions.
3. occasional bugs but they will be resolved by SAP.

Pros

I like hat HANA is in-memory computing technology that provides an in memory database for fast data access and processing to users. Properties like faster data fetching, quick execution times, speedy access to external Apps make it a very useful technology. The business problems being solved with the product are as the data volume grows, the conventional database based reports and processes tend to slow down. This at times negatively affects the year on year trend analysis and processes requiring multiple data fetch. HANA, being in memory database virtually eliminates these issues. The data fetch is almost instantaneous and the processes run much faster.

Cons

I see nothing negative about the technology in itself. The roll out of this platform could have been done in a better way. The cloud integration of SAP has been slow as well. These I thing that can be looked into
