Overall Satisfaction with SAP S/4HANA Cloud

SAP S/4HANA Cloud is the next generation ERP from SAP, built on top of HANA. I have used SAP S/4HANA Cloud as an end user as well as implemented SAP S/4HANA Cloud for different clients. It helps to handle huge amounts of data and manages a lot of transactions without any hassle. The new Fiori interface gives a great user experience altogether to the SAP S/4HANA Cloud functionality.

Pros

  • Great performance as it leverages HANA.
  • Great user experience through the use of SAP Fiori.
  • Real-time reporting and data reconciliation.

Cons

  • Better theme for transactions in terms of user experience and usability.
  • More documentation on which T-code is obsolete and which is the corresponding Fiori app available for that T-Code.
  • Immediate release of Feature Packs can be avoided as it leads to confusion.
  • Better consolidation of processes - single source of truth.
  • Better user experience in terms of using Fiori.
  • Power of SAP S/4HANA Cloud - real-time reporting.
SAP ECC/ERP was the erstwhile enterprise solution which was widely used by SAP customers and is in fact still being used by a lot of them today. This was a conventional ERP and didn't have the advanced features of SAP S/4HANA Cloud. With SAP S/4HANA Cloud, the memory and data footprint is considerably reduced due to HANA; also we have the new user experience in Fiori which wasn't available in the traditional ERP. Also, real-time reporting is a possibility now with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, which wasn't possible with ERP.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud is well suited to big organizations which have complex processes and where the volume of transactional data is very high. This is an important criterion as this will help to realize the full potential of SAP S/4HANA Cloud; for a small-scale organization it is a sizable investment and they cannot reap the full benefits from it.
