    SAP Cloud ERP (SAP S/4HANA Cloud) is suited well to shifting company resources from IT to the business but reduces the ability to tailor your sap system to your company's operating needs and model. An on prem system will take more staff to operate and cloud benefits from a reduced staff, however the loss of certain areas of visibility/customization hurts the product in a disproportionate fashion.

    Zeni is well suited for any organization that needs accounting work. They have been great for us since we are in the SaaS space and they adjusted our accounts to reflect SaaS needs and metrics. So far I think Zeni would be a fit for any size of company. I think it would be great to start out with Zeni so that you have them in place as you grow.

    Cons
    SAP
    • The product is expensive compared to its competitors. Proper training is also a requirement before implementation, which is an additional cost.
    • SAP S 4HANA Cloud lags due to a high volume of work and data.
    • The user interface of the software is very complex and not easy to explore, especially for beginners.

    The cost of SAP as an ERP is quite high and the switching costs associated with ERP systems are even higher. That being said moving from one ERP to another only happens once in a great while for large organizations. Those switching costs include retraining, IT hardware requirements, outside consultants and more

    SAP requires
    a lot of internal and external resources to complete its successful
    implementation. The cloud version requires a deeper understanding of the
    different capabilities of the local systems (hardware) and the connection
    towards your local IT team. We found several problems on our systems that we
    couldn't foresee before the implementation and roll out.

    We used Bench.co before switching to Zeni- our books were often not available when promised, we had issues with duplicate transactions, and we had serious communication issues when trying to file our taxes. Zeni corrected our books and got our taxes filed quickly and seamlessly.

    SAP
    • The financial management part ensures every process is well planned and allocated resources are used efficiently.
    • The development of payroll management ensures that all employees are happily remunerated and, hence, very productive.
    • The creation of solid financial reporting acts as the primary driver in decision-making, which brings more insights into development.

    • I believe Zeni was taking my money without permission
    • Zeni did not verify the company to be legitimate. They let a gmail address with no website qualify. All they needed to do was look up the real company and verify this is fraudulent.
