Q&A Highlights
Question: Deltek CostPoint vs SAP S/4HANA: which one is better and why?
Answer: Hi @Hovik Hacobian, Can I ask how you reach these systems? The ERP selection for an organization (or industry) needs methodology and experience. SAP is a Tier1 ERP but Deltek is not. So I think your roadmap is wrong from the starting point. But in general, some important parameters in selecting a system are YOUR: - Organization size (eg. 10,000 employees and users, or 10M$ USD Revenue Per Year), - Organization process (eg. full purchasing process without HR Process), - Organization industry (eg. project-oriented (E, EPC, ...), Manufacturer, Sales), - Organization needs and priorities (eg. good UI/UX over best functionality), - Organization maturity (eg. best practice process over "as-is" process). Finally, I think, first, you must clarify your needs and answer the top questions. After that, select the best choices. Both systems are great, but just for a best-fit organization. Best Regards

The product is very robust and comprehensive.""One of the most valuable features, which we used the most, was the FI module, for finance. It involved controlling, account receivables, account payables, and complete financial steering.""SAP S4HANA version 1909 is stable. We have not gone live with 2020 yet.""We're able to get all our processes flowing together. We're able to make all of our business processes talk to each other.""The scalability has been good.""The most valuable feature is the detail in all of the processes.

Cons
"Overall, the solution is very difficult to use and learn. The learning curve is difficult. Also, the GUI and user interface are not intuitive."

More Deltek CostPoint Cons →

"It requires a lot of planning to implement the product correctly.""The solution could be more user-friendly for regular users and developers.""This solution works with the configuration, if the prerequisites are very clear and can be configured it works perfectly. If you need to simulate something, as a predictive tool this kind of simulation is not very accurate and it has limitations. This is something that could improve.""In an upcoming release, it would be beneficial to have more practical intelligence in the system, such as protective maintenance, or artificial intelligence.""If S4HANA has more AI and machine learning, it will be better and easier for reporting and dashboarding.""In an upcoming release of SAP S4HANA, chain management should be easier.""The install can be difficult. There's something called secondary sales solutions that is not there in SAP. We need to have third-party tools to integrate to do the automatization. The two parts are missing on the secondary sales solution and automation.""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."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by SAP S4HANA users.

    A Mechanical Engineer at a construction company says, “It is a very powerful, highly customizable tool. The most valuable feature is that the reporting is fast. We can see the results from that in that our commissions come in fast. That is the main advantage.”

    Another reviewer, a SAP Technology Manager at a financial services firm, mentions, "It is more or less a very, very smooth and seamless product. Day by day they are increasing their technology features and they are keen to resolve the issues. India has a complex business scenario and SAP is thinking about that and resolving the issues day by day. In terms of the features I have found most valuable, I don't think that there is any lack or any gap process-wise. SAP is a very good tool."

    A Project and Service delivery Manager at a tech services company comments, "One of the most valuable features, which we used the most, was the FI module, for finance. It involved controlling, account receivables, account payables, and complete financial steering."

They are quite interesting.” He also adds, “The initial setup is pretty straightforward. The documentation is very good. The solution can scale well. The solution is stable.”
