Reviews of SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Alternatives Considered:
A CRM for Big Company with great integration functionality
Comments: Good to have for a big company to manage the business and control all the layers
Pros:
Hard to integrate but once done, very easy to use. As this goes by TCode for different function and access, it gives the freedom to manage access within users as well as easy to extract data which is almost same in all modules/TCodes.
Cons:
Integration requires a lot of time, automation is not that advance within the system and requires external process to maintain.
One of the best ERP systems in the cloud
Comments: My accounting entries were quite simple to enter. Very little work is required, and it's simple to pick up and expand. Once done on an Excel spreadsheet, the process is now unnecessary because all participants have access to the data.
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.
Best ERP System I have ever used
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.
Why do we still suffer this program?
Comments: The overall experience is not great. It's a game of mental gymnastics every time I need to use the program, having to memorize a specific order of oddly placed button clicks to accomplish simple tasks. Our clients who use SAP always speak in SAP-jargon and somehow expect us to understand them, making the experience worse.
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.
A must have for your business
Pros:
I love the convenience of being able to track inventory, cost, quality plans and so much more all in the same application
Cons:
Getting comfortable with the layout and then BOOM an update
