"SAP is more reliable in terms of data quality than other systems."
"The most valuable features of SAP ERP is the flexibility and functionality. It is one of the best ERPs I have seen in the market."
"The architecture of the solution overall is great. It's great for development, testing, and production. I've worked with solutions where the architecture wasn't as strong and it was a disaster."
"Well-integrated multilingual technology."
"SAP ERP's interface is pretty easy nowadays, as it has evolved over time and has been made as user-friendly as a person would like it."
"It automates transactional processes."
"The most valuable features are the claim management."
"MDG provides a central location for governance of the creation/updating processes of master data. It allows you to change several fields in the same object. For example, we can change a field on the purchasing view and change another field on an accounting view to the same material at the same time."
"SAP S4HANA has good performance and has allowed us to combine our systems."
"I find everything I need in S4/HANA."
"It is really fast. It is also very stable."
"A user-friendly UI with good documentation."
"The most valuable feature is that HANA loads from memory, which means it loads very quickly."
"S4HANA is a completely integrated solution. It's an end-to-end ERP system with strong manufacturing and financial integration, which is not common among ERPs. And it's a solution that's driven by industry best practices."
"I have found the most valuable features are the interface, which is very good for all users, and the database performance is good."
"The most valuable feature of SAP S/4HANA is the innovational process. We are able to receive more efficiency or accuracy than previous versions."
"However, the production guys tell me that Penta is not suitable for mass production. If we build a hundred cars per day or more, then we'll have problems. At the same time, I can't say whether the issue is Penta or our process. In other words, maybe we have too many manual projects in it."
"The initial setup of SAP ERP is complex and it took a lot of time."
"The flexibility in using the software could improve. I am from a product background and I've been testing a lot of applications, for example, Informatics. The UI, features, and cloud version could improve."
"In previous generations, SAP was stable and the roadmap was very predictable, but currently it's very difficult."
"The service could be more user-friendly in the area of transition codes."
"The problem for us, we are one company that has seven home markets. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. When we need to configure, modify rules, change policies, or taxes rules, when we move currencies around based on our other financial results, it can get very complicated. When we try to join everything together we have some problems. However, the process good, all of our material and procurement processes are going well. The problem is trying to consolidate the financial reports and this is where I have problems."
"Presently, the solution's interface is not intuitive."
"This solution could be made more user-friendly for development teams."
"Functionality could be improved."
"Small businesses that have a small user base find this solution too expensive."
"Maybe its user interface and reporting can be improved across the board, but it is manageable."
"The initial setup could be better. They can make the process a little easier. The functions that we require will be available in the next release. We specifically need a new model, and I think we have some versions to implement. I already read on the SAP website that some functionalities we are waiting for are available in this new version."
"So, there is room for improvement in pricing. HANA is not a simple product; it's quite complex by design."
"In a feature release, they could improve by adding budgetary features."
"An area for improvement would be integration with different kinds of legacies. In the next release, I would like the product to be prepared for blockchain technology and the best way to communicate with social networking."
"SAP S4HANA is not suitable for all-size companies. If you have a small company there are better fit solutions for your needs."
"The solution could improve by making customization easier. The on-premise version is a lot more flexible."
