"The product can be very complex."
"There are a few complexities when it comes to licensing that could be simplified."
"This solution is very resource-intensive, including high memory and CPU utilization."
"More availability zones will help customers choose AWS. I would like to see features that provide easier onboarding for ERP solutions like SAP. SAP has already partnered with S/4HANA on AWS for hosting its public cloud as well. More educational videos for customers to choose this cloud path would be great to have. That is, providing more documentation and marketing material would be better."
"S4HANA is expensive. It costs much more than SuccessFactors."
"SAP S4HANA on AWS could improve by having the entire solution available as a web solution.

We want it to be web-based."
