Sr. Manager, Internal Controls

My company’s environment is very customized and limits what reporting is anvailable and who has access to what.

Procurement

The mass amount of data storage and customizable options to ensure procurement processes are running well and the in depth view of inventory management from all levels PR, PO, GRN, Goods Issued, etc.

Chief Accounting Officer

The software integrates with other solutions and has real-time data processing capabilities

IT and Customer Support

Every function (and there are SO MANY) is not clearly labeled, instead using some alpha-numeric code (VL02, MIGO, etc), or a title that doesn't really match what it is you are trying to do.

It's a game of mental gymnastics every time I need to use the program, having to memorize a specific order of oddly placed button clicks to accomplish simple tasks.

Integration within SAP ecosystem is excellent.

Procurement Officer

SAP/4HANA Cloud is modern ERP software for all sizes of organisations.

The ease of use and ability to find the reporting you need in a one stop shop.

A fantastic overall experience for users with some previous SAP experience - easy to navigate and with a truly impressive cloud-first functionality.

Warehouse Executive

Another benefit of SAP S/4 HANA Cloud is that it periodically provides you an innovation cycle.

Ability of the software to improve business processes outcomes.

Pricing of the software is a major challenge towards implementation of the software.

Lab and raw materials

SAP is practical and sustainable as it reduces the need of numerous paper work and one is able to track sales orders from the past if a customer decides to repeat the same sales order.

Director of Marketing

The flexibility of SAP S/4HANA Cloud gives us value for money.

QA Specialist

I give this a very average rating as it does accomplish what is needed but is overly and needlessly complex and not intuitive.

Tech Lead

Customers has very less control over the periodic updates on S/4HANA cloud.

It facilitates higher availability as well as great disaster management.

This is to be expected with ERP software processing large volumes of data.

Project Manager

Proper project management is required in implementation and return on investments.

It is not affordable to small organisations and businesses.

This software is overly complex and there is nothing intuitive or user friendly about it.  

Staff may need to be re-skilled to adapt to the new technology and processes.

Implementing SAP S/4HANA can require a significant initial investment.

IT Specialist

This is due to the standardized nature of the cloud offering, which may not allow for extensive modifications to meet unique business requirements.

So you get access early access to new technologies and developments.

System Administrator

The project management tools in SAP S/4HANA Cloud make it easy for me to keep track of my customers' endeavors.
