"I come from a functional consultancy background, and S/4HANA provides excellent procurement solutions for inventory management. One of S/4HANA's best features in the manufacturing module is the ability to calculate product costs.""SAP S4HANA Cloud is stable, and its computational power and speed have improved in later versions.""The most valuable features of SAP S/4HANA Cloud are the ease of use from the cloud, CapEx analysis report, and everything being connected together well.""SAP S4HANA Cloud is one of the best products in enterprise solutions, especially in manufacturing, retail, logistics, wholesaling, and distribution.""S/4HANA Cloud is very stable.""It is good in data analytics and helps in data analytics.""The solution links everything and allows us to integrate into our entire supply chain.""It was easy to implement."

Cons
"Just implementing an ERP system takes a lot of time.""The product lacks a lot of features and technology."

More QAD Cloud ERP Cons →

"The pricing is way over any of the other ERPs, and the bank integrations are not perfect. There are a lot of costs for other implementations and integrations with Salesforce and other systems. Rather than being a fully-fledged system on its own like most of the other ERPs, it relies too much on developed integrations by the implementation partner.""When it comes to the SAP PM material's module, it would be nice to see the inclusion of predictive analytics.""It's not easy to facilitate the solution between us and SAP, so we have had to leave those issues open.""The solution is expensive. That can be an issue for clients.""The user experience has some room for improvement. S/4HANA covers various scenarios based on the best business practices, but users complain about its user experience. It is not a user-friendly ERP solution. I rate the current UX seven out of 10.""The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment.""Analytics could be improved.""I need more options for enhancing the system, especially compared to the features available in the on-premise version."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "The pricing is competitive with other products at that level in that category."
  • "I feel the solution is expensive when it comes to what can be obtained with open source software."
  • "This is a pricey solution that best serves large enterprises. Be sure to ensure that your company's requirements need to be fulfilled by SAP. There are many other ERP's that are cheaper yet highly functional. However, it is still cheaper than some of the competition (i.e. Oracle, ESD, etc.)"
  • "I don't remember the specifics about the licensing, but it's scaled and modular. You pay for what you use. It's not a one-size-fits-all license. You have a license for every single module. It's similar to Oracle."
  • "The licensing process for SAP S/4HANA Cloud has worked well."
  • "It's very expensive."
  • "Pricing wise, SAP S4HANA Cloud is very expensive. The licensing cost can be 100,000 euros per year, depending on the number of users in your company."
  • "S/4HANA is an enterprise solution that many can't afford. You must invest a lot to get the most out of it. It isn't cheap. I rate the price seven out of 10."
