"I have found the most valuable feature to be the SAP Fiori application."
"It is a very powerful, highly customizable tool."
"From a technology standpoint, the theory and analytics are fascinating."
"The functionality of SAP S4HANA is very good when comparing it to others, such as Oracle, Microsoft, and other ERP solutions."
"I have been using SAP for more than 13 years and the new SAP S4HANA was not only a simple upgrade, they have made a lot of improvements. They have simplified a lot of the functions, the all-new interface gives users a better experience. The database itself is quite efficient in nature and it provides effective data queries. It is a good upgrade from the previous version of SAP R/3."
"The processes have been reduced from almost 10 steps to four or five steps. It's really been simplified."
"It is a very scalable solution. We have enterprise-level businesses using this solution."
"The Fiori design is a valuable feature."
"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 integration could be made a little simpler in terms of design and implementation."
"S/4HANA could be improved with better integration. At the moment, a main issue I see is that there's so much growth in the functionality, complementary modules, and cloud solutions which were acquired by SAP and which extend the functionality of the SAP ERP suite. It looks to me that they tend to acquire more and more functionality from acquisitions, but they don't invest enough effort into making them integrated with S/4HANA or ERP. I would say that the functionality is great, but integration is something which still needs more attention. Instead of focusing on acquisitions, they should invest, integrate, and better the existing portfolio of products in SAP. It would help us, as implementors, to have a more complex or compact solution."
"This is a costly solution."
"Planned Order List needs a change of screen."
"The cost of the solution is quite high. It needs to be adjusted."
"Technical support has been declining. They aren't as responsive as they used to be."
"Lacking in some customizations."
"In an upcoming release of SAP S4HANA, chain management should be easier."
