In our department we use various security products S/4HANA like System Recommendation, Configuration Validation, CVA, SAP ETD, etc.
  • Integration of existing Security products
  • Cooperation with SAP in private cloud
  • integration with ECC systems
  • Solution Manager functionalities are not mature enough (Cloud ALM) yet
For large companies SAP S/4 HANA (private) cloud will be the way to go in the future. However, the cost factor (HANA database!) needs to be considered very carefully

We used it to assess if the Cloud Instance of S/4HANA was the right solution instead of a On Premise Instance.<br>After intenive testing we assest that the customizing options where not just enough to fulfflil the needs of the busisness.<br>Especially transfering with a brownfield concept.<br>With a greenfield approach that would be better.
  • Frequent Updates
  • User Interface
  • Extension Conecpt
  • Easier use of APIs
  • More extensions of Business Object
  • Easier integration with BTP
Again, if you just start to use the S/4HANA System with a greenfield approach, this would be the best approach.
If you are coming from a 20 old on premise system, this is much more difficult

I support clients with implementation of cloud solutions including SAP. We look to drive strong and significant transformation at our clients through transition to a cloud base platform, with the main focus being Finance. This allows Finance functions to unlock better standardisation, automation, effectiveness and control for the business.
  • User Interface
  • Integration with Auxiliary systems and platforms
  • depth & breadth of it's solutions and alliances
  • Enhance use of ML and AI
  • Increase clarity on how different parts of the solutions link together
The SAP solution in my experience is well suited to large enterprise clients where the requirements are complex and end-to-end, multi-functional solution is required. However, certain sectors (like Retail or constructions) have different set of requirements which are not always easily addressed.

Accounting Processes, Building up Sales Structures
Helps to automate your business and still gives enough flexibility to customize the product to your needs.
With Fiori the UI got much more better regarding to the old SAP GUI style.
  • Standard Processes
  • Automate Finance Processes
  • Helps to build up an hybrid landscape
  • Implementation and Migration should not be understimated
  • End user need special trainings
  • New transactions and or apps as starting points are sometimes not that easz to adapt
If you need your data in one place and you are running different products in your it landscape, its worth it to run S4HANA as a central ERP system. Nice reporting.

We use S/4HANA mainly for Transportation business regarding Finance dealings and part of logistics. Integration is challenge with many third party applications. At times even the performance becomes a challenge due to sudden thrust in Data load.
  • Accessibility
  • Any time
  • Fast
  • Stability
  • Accessibility
  • Security
Logistics part helps a lot when we can access through FIORI and let the truckers get their stuff in warehouse.

SAP S/4 HANA is the best cloud based analytical and ERP platform to help your business to grow faster. We implemented the it as an ERP solution in our organisation. The main feature offered by SAP S/4HANA is its integration capabilities, It get integrated with the Sap products and the enterprise level system under single platform. Now we can able to automate our business process using this sap cloud which has real time analytical features. This helps in better improvement in process and data analysis within one domain.
As a software developer, We used it to integrate our payment gateways systems for a banking client to manage and automate their transactions and operations.
  • It offers real time data analysis
  • Integration with various sap tools
  • Business automation by integration of systems
  • Data management
  • Improvement in efficiency
  • Cost considerations as compared to alternatives
  • local language support needed
  • support from SAP
Well suited scenario- SAP S/4HANA is well suited where the organisation needs to streamline the entire business processes and ERP management. It able to provide real time data analysis which is helpful in the financial, telecom and supply chain verticals. SAP S/4HANA is mostly suitable for large scale organisation which has variety of operations and they need to automation of tasks.

less suitable scenarios- It is relatively less suitable where the automation is not cost effective like for small organisation they can manage their work on regular cloud platform. moreover, Some capabilities and decisions are relative to human mind so it is not suitable where task is crtitial and required human intervention.

We are supporting a data ERP project for the SAP Hana project. We managed the database, but we can't disclose details. Major issue: backup and restore data. Sometimes, we face issues with live data restoration. Most of time we couldn't generate reports as per project requirements; at that time, we created a script for live reporting data purposes to the shared specific team.

Well, for a memory database, but the storage level is not good enough. We increased our in-house tool by using SAP Hana. Our tool is the same mirror, SAP Hana. SAP Hana is a good database at the memory level; you need to improve faster performance in another memory database like Dynamo DB.

We use the SAP S/4HANA Cloud to get rid of our on premise infrastructure and to host our new ERP system in the cloud. Scalability is an big thing for us since we are growing fast and the cloud architecture allows us to tackle this issue.
  • Continuous innovation through permanent updates
  • Simplicity/automation
  • good security level
  • Data migration
  • overall complexity implementing the system
  • Integration with Existing System
It is well suited for fast growing SME businesses , where scalability is needed but also the inhouse technical skills are maybe not there to run a inhouse application management. From an IT security point of view its well suited. For use cases where the company is not mature from an IT perspective I would not recommend it. The overall complexity shouldnt be underestimated.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud is more user friendly than its predecessor (SAP ECC), leveraging Fiori tiles to enhance the user experience. The powerfull standard business processes are also a big addition to support any ERP transformation for companies.
  • Fiori Tiles to access the system with mobile devices
  • Out of the box operational reporting with Embedded Analytics
  • Enhanced integration with other systems leveraging SAP BTP
  • Fiori is great but sometimes performance is not ideal
  • OOTB automation could be enhanced
SAP S/4HANA Cloud is ideal for companies who wants to transform their business processes and move to a standard way to do business. On top of this, the Cloud deployment become easier with the SAP RISE solutions.

We use SAP S/4HANA Cloud for end-to-end business management, including product configuration, sales to cash, procurement to pay, and full shop floor management. We do not use it for HR or B2B.
  • Standardize business processes
  • Manufacturing supply chain functions
  • Warehouse management
  • Financial management
  • Financial reporting
  • SIOP forecasting for mid-size businesses
  • Data management for rapid change environments
I have managed multiple ERPs across a wide variety of manufacturing industries and no ERP in the world is better at supply chain and operational management in a manufacturing environment. End to end it allows for the most robust best business practices and allows for nearly any iteration of business process that efficiently makes money.

It is an ERP tool used for various day-to day activities. One key use case in our company is employee detail management and payroll generation including report creation, employee detail management, employee onboarding and termination, performance management and reporting via SuccessFactors etc.
  • Payroll Management
  • Employee Performance Management
  • Employee Onboarding and Data Management
  • Integration with other tools/system e.g. process integration with Signavio
  • More attractive user interface
It is very well suited for companies with large number of employees for seamless day-to-day functioning, real time or bulk reporting and analytics needs. For small companies, it might not be suitable due to large investment cost and maintenance cost and need for frequent updates, or for companies where employees are not tech savy.

We use it to keep up to date on daily tasks and for the construction lifecycle for our commercial buildings. In using this, we are able to see an overall dashboard of multiple levels of tasks that are to be completed, or are already completed. This helps also keep tabs on the financial aspect of the projects.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud offers high quality Analytical, transactional, and logistical data that gives an abundent amount of information. It is well organized for the ease to navigate the dashboard for information that is needed daily.

This software is very good for the organization which has large volume of data entry and also it is very effective for the multiple level entity and multiple currency entity which helps us to give the data entry for all the currency for which we have the respective entity. This gives us the perfect results as per the requirement of the entity . This is an economical software and pocket friendly for the organization which gives the value for money towards the application and the more returns for the investments.This helps us to give the better decisions for the entity.This software is cloud based and is remote and words very perfectly for any organization which gives us the efficiency to work
  • This is for multiple-level entity which works in multiple currency
  • This is best for the data entry in organization which has high volumes
  • This gives value for money
  • It works as ( Real-time basis )
  • The reports generated give the best data and information for the entity
  • It should be designed in a better way in terms of audit trail
  • The interface should be easy to understand so that any fresher can also use that easily
  • This is quite expensive for small organization
  • We need to give a proper Knowledge training to any person before it is to be used by them
  • This Software is a little complex to understand
This software is best for the multiple level entities which has multiple level like (Dollars, Euro CAD, PHP). This makes the accounting and data entry easy for these types of entity.The large organization has more benefit from this software as the initial investment cost is more which will be helpful for the large organization to work.
The interface should be more easy for working so that any new person can also be able to use it perfectly which will save the training time and existing resorces of the entity.This is quite expensive foe the small organization to work with it.
