Pros
"SAP S4HANA on AWS has high performance. All the data is in one place and it's real-time. When you make an entry you don't have to wait a couple of minutes, hours, or overnight as something the batch process takes time. It is instantaneous and is available to everybody.""I would rate this solution as a nine out of ten because it covers all the fields, has a big maturity, and has something other solutions are missing, which is speed.""This product is currently the leading product within this category.""The product efficiently manages the data center without manual intervention.""The product’s high availability is its best feature.""The solution is scalable.""The tool's installation is easy. I rate it an eight out of ten.""Reporting transparency and user-friendliness are the key benefit of deploying SAP S4HANA on AWS.

Cons
"This solution is very resource-intensive, including high memory and CPU utilization.""The platform's front-end user interface needs improvement compared to other applications.""The solution needs a warehouse management feature. Right now, there's a built-in WM, but they don't have an EWM extended warehouse management built-in, in S/4HANA. It's a separate product. So if they can add that, that would be great.""The product could use more capabilities in the areas of robotics, machine learning and artificial intelligence, but these improvements are already on the way.""SAP S4HANA could be improved by adding a click-to-deploy model.""CPU architecture is an area where the solution currently has some issues. Improvement in CPU architecture could improve the performance side and the adherence to the parameters set by SAP.""If you go to AWS's site they offer training programs that are very good. SAP does not do the same, if SAP could provide some training that would be great.""The GUI is age-old, the pricing is too high for hardware and older customizations are not working consistently."
