Overall Satisfaction with SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Currently we are using ECC server from which we are moving to SAP S/4HANA Cloud for our various SAP systems. SAP S/4HANA Cloud server is much more reliable and performance focused server so that we don't need to create multiple set of master data for each system which indirectly impacts the performance. SAP S/4HANA Cloud server also gives real data insight as we have all the transactional records in one single space.

Pros

  • Well appropriate for SAP products we use like SAP SCM, SAP SD, SAP HCM
  • Well designed architecture so that no need create multiple set of master data to compromise the performance
  • The data lake will have all the transactional data for getting real time analysis and insight

Cons

  • Very costly for small and medium scale organizations
  • Complexity while migrating data from legacy systems like mainframe
  • Trainings are not widely available and costly as well
  • Surpasses many well reputed applications in terms of performance and data insight when you are into SAP products
  • More reliable and secure as we are not going to create multiple copy of master data, one single shared master data and all will work like charm
  • For authentication we can also use Microsoft MFA or Google single sign-on , so less complexity
  • For customized business process, we can implement extension packages which are like templates
Day to day data insight is more accurate for manufacturing industry to procure as per forecasted from supplier. Supply and fulfillment cycle becomes more easier. I would say more about performance as we are using this new server so we can see clear difference between SAP S/4HANA Cloud and ECC. Also it has customized business extensions for rapid development.
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems
I found is as more reliable and performance oriented application for most of the complex systems. In terms of scalability also it is the best solution. When it comes to integration it doesn't work as expected as it's very difficult and complex to integrate with legacy applications like mainframe we have.
I heard about it but never used that extensively.

Yes

Did SAP S/4HANA Cloud live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of SAP S/4HANA Cloud go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy SAP S/4HANA Cloud again?

Yes

No doubt SAP S/4HANA Cloud is the best cloud solution for SAP products which can be easily integrated, but the main issue is you can not use in other non-SAP products for getting same result. Also if you are migrating from ECC to SAP S/4HANA Cloud then it's good but if you are planning to move from legacy applications then bit complex. We are facing such issues while doing it currently.
