SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Avantages

Its a column based and row based which is faster user data access , auto compressing the data and also parallel processing

Inconvénients

Its time taking if we are not giving the software required hardware like memory, CPU, Disk space etc.. and also the will suggest the certified hardware partner.

Avantages

It was slightly better than SAP 3 or whatever the native desktop app we switched from was. It has okay customization options so you can remove some unused buttons, but that was the only improvement.

Inconvénients

I honestly dread hearing that we are taking on a new client that uses SAP. Sure, SAP can be a powerful tool and has a lot of features, but it is too overwhelming. You need a weeklong course to just understand the basics of this program. 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. I've never used a program that takes so many button clicks to accomplish simple tasks like printing a Bill of Lading. The UI is extremely outdated.

Avantages

1) It offers you flexibility and scalability. You can choose the best subscription plan for your business as per requirement.
2) Another benefit of SAP S/4 HANA Cloud is that it periodically provides you an innovation cycle. So you get access early access to new technologies and developments.
3) It lets you simplify business processes and helps you to drive digital transformation.
4) It facilitates higher availability as well as great disaster management.

Inconvénients

We never encountered any problem with SAP S/4 HANA Cloud till now.

Avantages

SAP S/4HANA offers immediate visibility into inventory, demand, and supplier performance, optimizing inventory management and reducing stockouts, while seamlessly integrating procurement, production, warehousing, and distributions, fostering, collaboration, and streamlining.

Inconvénients

Complex implementation is one of the major cons, it demands careful planning, skilled personnel, and substantial training investment. There are more challenges while comes to customizing SAP S/4 HANA compared to SAP MM .

Avantages

I love the convenience of being able to track inventory, cost, quality plans and so much more all in the same application

Inconvénients

Getting comfortable with the layout and then BOOM an update

Avantages

The best thing about it is just how integrated it is. We really needed a system where we didn't have to sync a dozen different tools together to run our operations, and S/4HANA has been a lifesaver in that regard. All the modules are linked together so you don't have to worry about integration health and all the data gets synced straight away

Inconvénients

The pricing is a big disadvantage. It could be an issue for companies looking to use SAP to support their expansion.

Avantages

Real-time data insights and seamless ERP integration.

Inconvénients

Initial setup and customization can be quite complex.

Avantages

Ease of accessibility to the system and ease of use. I learnt how to use SAP in production, logistics and storekeeping in a week. 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.

Inconvénients

I feel SAP needs to work on notifying users on changes made by the administrator. This causes a lot of confusion especially when sales orders are completed only to find that a customer changed their production order. In large manufacturing facilities, the production team barely gets the time to follow up on past sales orders.

Avantages

User Interface is easy and simple to use.

Inconvénients

Been using it for over a year and no complaints thus far!

Avantages

The interface is very clear. I've been looking for a program like this for a long time. I definitely recommend.

Inconvénients

Sometimes it can be difficult to reach customer service. Sometimes the program may slow down.

Avantages

Logische Struktur und Geringe Anzahl an Tabellen.

Inconvénients

Installationsintensiv aber sehr funktional und logisch gebaut

Avantages

There is a large amount of adaptability that can be used with the software.

Inconvénients

Materials have to be setup in the system which can be tedious.

Avantages

Fastest SAP product ever as it operated and built for cloud, never had a connection issue. Simplifies processes and can improve user experience.

Inconvénients

First time users need serious training and the product could be expensive for small or medium businesses, so should be considered for large companies.

Avantages

Inconvénients

Huge cost involved if you are planning to upgrade from SAP old version.

Avantages

S/4 HANA Cloud brings a refreshing upgrade experience, which has always been a pain in every organization I have worked with. It also you forces you to re-focus your business processes, as the upgrade responsibility now occurs when dictated by SAP. Something great about having the most up to date system is S/4 is very focused on enabling APIs to interact with your ERP. Since you are constantly updating, you have available the latest APIs.

Inconvénients

Its main strength is also its weakness. Your business users have to be very focused on validating the base functionality after an upgrade. It can be time consuming at times, but is essential to ensure business continuity.

Avantages

La velocidad en el manejo de la información y su accesibilidad vía web, lo hacen un software de calidad y eficaz para la industria media y superiores.

Inconvénients

La implementación y consultoría debe ser con especialistas reales que conozcan la herramienta o pueden ofrecer funcionalidades limitadas por su desconocimiento.

Avantages

Started using HANA 5 years ago with v1 SPS5 back when it was just released for SAP BW. Back then it was "only" an in-memory DB. With each new SPS release, HANA became better with more DB features integrated. Fast forward to today, it is a full-fledged database platform with enterprise features that rival (and in some cases) even bests Oracle, MSSQL, DB2, et al. For customers who intend to use SAP for the foreseeable future, you would no doubt have HANA already as part of your existing if not future SAP roadmap, given that support for the traditional DBs is until 2025.
SAP HANA, which is re-written from the ground up to fully take advantage of today's modern hardware, supports multi-threaded CPU architecture, use of terabytes of memory to run its in-memory database capabilities, columnar & row based database with full-fledged compression, full support of PL-SQL and many other application components.
From a hardware perspective it is a 2-horse race with the commodity Intel x86 platforms becoming more powerful with each CPU iteration and better CPU core-to-memory ratio support, and IBM with their Power-based CPU architecture. As hardware prices continue to fall and become more powerful, it is only a matter of time before HANA hardware becomes truly commoditised.

Inconvénients

Today SAP HANA is not only a competent database platform, but also is a very robust applications platform. As HANA continues to grow its feature set naturally there are more bugs as a result of a multitude of features. Development of SAP HANA is also diversified across multiple locations around the globe (Walldorf, India, etc.). SAP must do a better job in responding quicker to customers with issues.

Avantages

Hard to integrate but once done, very easy to use. As this goes by TCode for different function and access, it gives the freedom to manage access within users as well as easy to extract data which is almost same in all modules/TCodes.

Inconvénients

Integration requires a lot of time, automation is not that advance within the system and requires external process to maintain.

Each and everything in my maintenance department revolves around it.

Inconvénients

SAP is the best ERP, hands down. they don't need to, but if ever I would love to see them working on their GUI.

Avantages

Su principal ventaja es que es accesible desde cualquier lugar y si la empresa va creciendo no es necesario la compra de nuevo hardware que puede suponer una gran inversión, además de hacer esa evolución de manera mucho más rápida.Hay que destacar uno de sus puntos fuertes que es las medidas de seguridad con la que se protegen nuestros datos, aunque como ya sabemos ningún sistema es infalible.

Inconvénients

Como todo lo relacionado con el eco-sistema de SAP tiene un coste y no es precisamente bajo.La ventaja del cloud es que puedes acceder desde cualquier lado, pero a su vez es una gran desventaja porque si tienes problemas con la conexión a Internet no tendrás ningún tipo de acceso.Aunque si se puede implementar con otros sistemas empresariales, a veces es complicado y costoso, lo que aumenta los gastos ya de por si elevados.

Avantages

This is something enterprises definitely need to move if they are running on SAP. The best part of S/4 HANA is its processing time and intelligence. The speed at which the processing is done is amazing

Inconvénients

Like other SAP products, this tool is expensive and the consulting or resources for the implementation are very expensive.

Avantages

1. The data processing speeds are greatly improved on the HANA platform. This is due to the in-memory technology incorporated into the system.
2. Very easy to set up and integration with SAP is almost flawless. This is especially true with cloud.
3. The user interface is not only eye catching, it also incorporates analytics which enable the users to create interactive dashboards, graphs and widgets.
4. Since it is a database in itself, which supports data to be stored in columns (as opposed to the previously used MS SQL, which stores in rows), it allows for faster data processing, analytics and more efficient storage of data.
5. It allows a company to monitor key KPIs.
6. In terms of security, it is very efficient. It relies on encryption, patching and best practices when it comes to security. It is also linux-based which provides a very secure platform

Inconvénients

1. The hardware and software specifications required to run HANA may be unavailable to some businesses hence if a company wants to use it, the would have to acquire them.
2. The dashboards and some of the analytical features are unavailable on mobile.
3. While customizing and writing stored procedures, one must be very careful as the application is linux-based hence it is case sensitive.

-As I enter invoice items while entering an invoice in SAP in the view all screen, I'm unable to enter a credit memo line item. To do this I'd have to go back into basic view, enter the credit memo, then go back into view all.

Avantages

The ability to customize and adapt the software to the needs of the company, making it easier for the company to really know where it is and what it has.

The implementation of SAP requires that the company meets certain standards, causing implementation times to increase. In several of the flows, the company has to adapt to the software and not the company to the software.
