We recently moved to SAP S/4HANA from SAP ECC. The migration is smooth, but there is a speed issue; S/4HANA takes more time to load material than SAP ECC. One thing I like is that multiple user logins are possible from a single SAP ID. This gives the flexibility to work with multiple users at a time with a single SAP ID, which increases the productivity of our staff since we have only 3-4 user IDs per department.
  • Multiple users login from single ID at same time
  • Cloud base
  • End user role limitation
  • Similar to previous version SAP ECC
  • Loading Time of Material
  • Migration Templetes are complicated
  • Sometimes it feels very Rigid system
  • Sometimes it slows down and take much time to execute any tcode
I'm one of the the members of implementing team of SAP S/4HANA at our organization. I think migrating data from old system to S/4HANA is a little bit complicated. Its BDC templates are locked and you have no choice to filter them, this process is some annoying but after implementing SAP S/4HANA it is running smoothly. The best part: I love that now Multiple users can use SAP S/4HANA at the same time without interrupting others using a single user ID.

We derive the benefits from SAP S/4HANA Cloud in multiple areas. In HR, we use it for payroll management, time management, personnel management, training and event management, organisation and information managements. In finance, we use it for financial accounting including ifrs17 p&l and balance sheet disclosures using the FPSL. The cloud computing is used for the subledger accounting and data model for planning and forecasting. We also integrate the cloud with Analysis for Microsoft Excel from SAP to take out information easily and dynamically. We also use this for information lifecycle management for timely deletion of sensitive information securely.
  • The AI based automation is the future and SAP is taking strides in this area
  • Human Resource management
  • Finacial reporting using financial products subledger
  • Integration with Analysis for office
  • Speed at which data is extracted can be slow sometime
  • The UI can be improved as it looks outdated.
  • More integration with microsoft apps like teams and onedrive
It is well suited to financial modelling, cloud computing, human resourse management, information management. It is not suited for cloud based coding and communication.

I use it for order management, order tracking, getting sales activity report, order review, invoices, to get our various documents, Checking our material availability in our warehouses. We use it to manage our customers and orders in a better, safe and more effective way. Also, we use it for our internal inventory management and view to process orders fast.
  • Sales Activity Report
  • Sales Order Management
  • Invoices
  • Customer Account Management
  • Big reports take a lot of time to finally download. This time should be reduced.
  • There can be a search button to find anything I want instead of knowing the exact transaction.
  • Dark mode can be made available optional.
For order management, customer account management, SAP is the best solution. It is easier to use and can give many reports in detail which we can download in Excel. Sometimes yes, it is difficult to learn everything because it has so many transactions and functionality but with time I just got used to it. I feel now more confident with SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud is used for Finance, EH&S and Supply chain Management and currently we are in HEC and planning to move into RISE
  • High system availability
  • Standard Functionalities via Fiori apps
  • Extensibility via BTP
  • Clean core needs to be adopted for all modules especially EWM
  • User interface needs to be fine-tuned for new SAP users easy access
  • More third party adaptors
SAP S/4HANA Cloud is well suited for standard business functions but when it always comes to customization based on customer needs.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud is currently the foundation for our finance and quickly becoming the foundation for our manufacturing. In my area we utilize the analytical capabilities of SAP S/4HANA Cloud and Fiori to provide live reporting to our users and stake holders. For us SAP S/4HANA Cloud has resulted in the ability to run more reporting on live data and has resulted in cleaner data overall for reporting.
  • Increased number of standard CDS views
  • Wide range of standard Fiori application out of the box
  • Performance of data query
  • Performance of loading Fiori Applications
  • CDS lacks some of the functions available in SQL
SAP S/4HANA Cloud is a very good solution for large scale manufacturing with clean data. The system performs very well with large amounts of data when it is supplied with a good quality of data. SAP S/4HANA Cloud is very well suited to customers which are more used to web interfaces, use mobile devices or tablets. For smaller business or businesses in which the business process is not willing to compromise to business practices expected by SAP this solution may not be appropriate.

We are starting to use the SAP S/4HANA Cloud and also using the BTP products. We are working on RTI and GTS solution right now. These tools are great additions and easy to use. We are making a good progress with less infrastructure and development costs. Security is the area that we would like the solution need to be better at and make it easier and more users friendly.
  • Process Automation
  • Standaradization
  • Performance
  • Security
  • Business processes
  • Integration
Its suiting well us in the RTI areas or the planning area.
We have started using the tools now and can't comment on less appropriate right now.

The user experience is very different and very confusing for the users to learn and begin to use.

We went live in August 2023 for one of our service lines and are currently working on moving several additional service lines to S4. We went greenfield, and the goal was to implement as close to standard as possible. We wanted to be on S4 before 2027, not have to compete with other companies for external expertise, and utilize the more modern user interface.
  • Modern user interface.
  • Hana increases data retrieval processing time.
  • Standardizing processes.
  • Security is difficult to understand and manage.
Its scalability and wide range of cloud offerings make it ideal.

Main ERP system for all of our SST sites in both US & EU. All of our manufacturing is processed as well as other SAP environments are uploaded to load to BI/BW reporting. We do not use SAP for financial consolidation at this time.
  • Ease of use
  • User friendly
  • Accessibility
  • more reporting focused on mass data for audit purposes
  • More opportunities for mass uploads without dev
  • More common reporting for finance
It is a good system but as all companies find, often the business gets hung up in customizing. With more research was done to see common customization for reporting and such for similiarities.

We use it for demonstrating it to our prospects and customers. It has the best practices incorporated for key LOBs and also available for multiple countries. It addresses the problems of long build cycles of on-prem systems and also keeping system updated is a pain, With a 6 month release cycles with improvements and also the simple steps to activate any new process, it has become easier for us to improve our overall demo capabilities and readiness and also shrink the sales/pre-sales cycles
  • The inbuilt collaboration with the SAP Help
  • Standard processes ready for adoption
  • Feasibility to build to extensions and keep core clean
  • In some areas in the Logistics like - Bar code reading
  • Some features missing when compared to On-Prem/Private cloud to be incorporated
  • Inability to do a mass upload of pure Finance AP invoices. We had to build an extension for a customer
