Overall Satisfaction with SAP S/4HANA Cloud

I found SAP S/4HANA as one of the best ERP analytical cloud platform. As a senior system engineer and a SAP Consultant for our client, My responsibility is to customize the API in SAP cloud according to customer requirements and usage. I had administered SAP S/4HANA cloud for other manufacturing domain client with almost more than 15000 users.
Also we used in in our industry to provide support and consultation to the customers in their projects. Our team's work is to manage raw material, Inventory and finished product stocks for our client by integrating data to SAP cloud and performing analytical forecasting on it. It records material transactions, keeps customer record and well integrated with other SAP platform which makes it best cloud in the segment.

Pros

  • Inventory and supply chain management
  • financial data analysis
  • integration with different SAP platforms
  • Reporting and requirement forecasting capabilities using analytics
  • Well developed UI

Cons

  • sometimes lag in performance due to heavy datasets
  • local language guidance
  • pricing as compared to competitors
  • Cost on handling inventory is reduced by 37%
  • Material handling get optimzed
  • customer satisfaction increased
  • forecasting of demand is now integrated with supply
Easy guidance tour for the beginners is my favorite feature for the SAP S/4HANA, which makes it easy to use without having major domain knowledge. It has analytical features combined with reporting to forecast the insights from the database. It is able to collect data from multiple formats and sources.
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
Cloud Solution - It migrates data from local server and warehouses of the client to the cloud database. SAP S/4HANA performs analytics on the collected data to perform forecasting.
As ECC got upgraded to S/4HANA, So it is the latest ERP cloud in the segment. So I didn't consider alternatives as our work is being effectively done with SAP cloud.

One of the best domain where SAP S/4HANA is doing well is Supply Chain Management. We had used SAP cloud in integrating the material data from raw material to finished product for almost 50+ warehouses of our client. Material management, Production planning, Invoice management and integration of all this module done by SAP cloud and advanced analytics performed on it to forecast future demand. In those scenario, It is well suited.

For small scale organizations where there are cost constrains are there and for small scale database it is not an practical option.
