I wouldn't suggest this ERP for small organizations, especially if there is no IT staff. While they do offer support packages, they can be costly as certain packages limit the number of times you can call in. Hiring an outside consulting firm to support is another route, however that could become costly as well. Medium to large businesses with savvy tech staff would be a good fit for this ERP.

Well suited scenarios - The standard processes are working fine in the system with big benefits in the area of finance and general supply chain requirements. Analytics operations on data collection is excelled by SAP S/4HANA. All we get is the integrated clout platform with all set of tools under one platform like database, analytical tools, development solutions. Not Suited scenario - Cost associated with the SAP cloud is comparatively on higher side so small scale organizations would rather prefer to maintain and perform same operations on local server.

Cons
Sage
  • Complications in configuration. Had to use a third party vendor to help us customize the system so we could better use it within the organization. This added additional expense
  • Some error messages are in French. If you aren't French, or can't speak French, this makes it pretty hard to troubleshoot
  • If you want to customize reports, you need to know Crystal Reporting (at least for the version I am using)

  • It gives the option to process the data in many ways, but sometime results don't match with each other
  • Not very complicated but you need little expertise to use most of the SAP S/4HANA Cloud
  • They should make their price a little pocket friendly

SAP S/4HANA Cloud support is again from various channels. Primarily provided by the implementation and support partner and then further extended by SAP's own support layer for critical or complex issues. Also during implementation, SAP S/4HANA Cloud has well defined max attention service also to help the organizations a risk-free implementation go-live.

Unfortunately, the product was purchased before I began working at the organization. I am unsure what other products they may have reviewed before purchasing Sage ERP X3.

In my perspective, SAP S/4HANA Cloud enforces the standardization that we were looking at as a corporate premise. Whereas other products allow much more flexibility that ended up being detrimental to the objective. Therefore we reconsidered, in spite of costs, that the SAP solution was, in fact, more aligned with the group's needs.
