"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The system can be integrated with other SAP functionalities - such as finance, production, sales, marketing, HR, et cetera, and can also be customized to become a model that's specifically designed for my business. That's the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Its integration is most valuable."
"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."
"It is good in data analytics and helps in data analytics."
"The ability to access and analyze data in real-time has significantly improved our reporting efficiency."

"There should be better support provided to be able to migrate to S/4HANA easier."
"I'm only working on the front end with ERP's user interface, which isn't very easy for end-users. It's an old-school interface, so it's often challenging to find what you need."
"It is a little difficult to use."
"SAP is more expensive than some of its competitors."
"The initial setup of SAP ERP is complex and it took a lot of time."
"Presently, the solution's interface is not intuitive."
"Although you can use SAP as a Warehouse Management System, and you don’t need any other program for that purpose, it is not enough as a Transportation Management System. You need another program which is integrated with SAP."
"It could always be cheaper. There is no doubt about it."
"Analytics could be improved."
"The integration with third-party vendors could improve."
"The pricing is high."
"Difficult to install and difficult to test. Testing needs to be improved. Scalability of this solution also needs improvement."
"One thing that could be better in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, especially in the public cloud, is how easily you can make changes."
"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."
"SAP promotes the cloud, but customers are worried about the security of their data. SAP suggests they have SAP S4HANA with RISE, which is a private cloud environment, but it is difficult to sell many of the customers on the cloud concept because of the privacy issues."
"The only thing I would improve is the overall user experience, particularly the mobile app. S/4HANA is a powerful, scalable platform, but the user experience isn't positive. It's a bit complex. The look and feel aren't attractive, and the mobile experience isn't great."
