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 fixed assets, payroll, the data module, and user-friendliness are most valuable."
"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."
"We have gained the capability to control and address various issues within the financial module effectively."
"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."
"I haven't used it a lot, but the best thing is that the processes are very detailed."
"The solution offers integrations with other software as well. We have integration with Microsoft Office where we can do Word and Excel, etc."
"It is strong in integration."
"Provides SAP Fiori apps with numerous dashboards and KPIs"
"The most valuable feature is the detail in all of the processes. The solution captures our policies and enables us to implement our policies in SAP. There are different models that address our needs."
"I like the user experience and usability of SAP Fiori, which is one of the main features that we are using."
"The performance of the solution is excellent."
"It is the most stable solution provided by SAP and can be used on all levels."
"The most valuable feature is that HANA loads from memory, which means it loads very quickly."
"I can verify and provide the overall financial aid report and also the management report."
"I find the Production Planning Cockpit (PPC) and Material Requirements Planning (MRP) most valuable modules."
"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."
"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 still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. "
"It requires a lot of expertise to implement."
"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."
"Dynamics GP could be improved in terms of its usability and modernization."
"What could be improved is the functionality of Dynamics GP because it requires a lot of development by the programmers and the company in order to integrate into a solution."
"Lacking in some customizations."
"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."
"Documentation could be improved."
"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."
"We are always looking for a better user experience. We would like to see more consolidation in SAP S4HANA because of all the financial compliance and regulatory changes."
"The integration could be made a little simpler in terms of design and implementation."
"So, there is room for improvement in pricing. HANA is not a simple product; it's quite complex by design."
"Starting out on the solution can be a bit complex and difficult."
