Performance of SAP Cloud ERP Across Market Features
SAP Cloud ERP Likes & Dislikes
- Close collaboration and engagement: SAP works very closely with us, with regular check-points and proactive follow up on project milestones. - Continuous innovation and evolution: The product is constantly evolving, with new features and improvements that help us to optimize our processes and get more value from the solution over time. - Response time and support: Incident and service request response times have been good with clear communication
Cloud ERP - Embedded analytics, Embedded AI features, User Experience All other SAP products - seemless integration between all SAP products and standard integration features to other non-SAP applications
What I like most is the robustness of the financial and controlling capabilities. The solution handles complex accounting, reporting and compliance requirements well. I also appreciate the integration with the broader SAP ecosystem. Connections with other SAP solutions, such a reporting, process monitoring, and automation tools, make it easier to build end-to-end service processes rather than isolated workflows. Another strong point is scalability. Once processes are defined and rolled out, the system supports consistent execution across multiple teams and countries, which is difficult to achieve with more lightweight ERP solutions.
SAP S/4 Public Cloud is still evolving and in a phase of continuous maturation with some inherent limitations when compared to more traditional on-premise or highly customized setup. This is generally understood by customers at the time of purchase, but the key difficulty lies in how your organization manages these constraints along the journey - for example, by adjusting expectations, redesigning processes and embracing standardization rather than trying to replicate legacy solutions.
- Cloud ERP is new in the region and not pervasive yet and therefore our level of understanding of it together with SAP partners is currently limited. We're still in our exploratory phase to understand what is and is not possible as well as limitations. The one area SAP needs to address asap, especially for the Cloud ERP is ensuring their Partners or SIs are upskilling themselves and up to speed on the Cloud ERP. Most of them still depend on ECC skills and yet there has to be a mindshift when dealing with Cloud issues.
The biggest challenge with SAP is complexity. Configuration, customisation and integration require specialised expertise and changes can be time consuming. This can be frustrating for business users who are used to faster, more flexible tools. User experience can also be inconsistent, especially for casual users, and often requires additional layers or tooling to become intuitive. Although udpdates are handled by SAP , adopting new functionality still requires careful testing and change management.

Dependence on ECC Skills Highlights Need for Cloud ERP Partner Upskilling
What has worked well - The availability of accelerators to quicken the implementation and release management process - Roadmap viewer where one is able to understand what's coming in order to prepare and identify new features and functionalities that will resolve current problems. - Community of users that share insights and resolutions to problems - Accessibility of expertise across the globe - one is not limited to their own region What hasn't worked well - Public cloud still has some fundamental functionalities/features that should be standard and which were standard in the on-prem version and the process from raising and implementation of these additional features is slow. - IT Manager50M-1B USDBankingReview Source

Reliable Financial Processes With SAP Cloud ERP Yet Complexity Impacts User Experience
My overall experience with SAP Cloud ERP has been positive in a large enterprise context.The solution provides a reliable backbone for finance and service oriented processes, especially in environments where standardisation and control are important. The system is stable and comprehensive but it's not simple. Using it effectively requires well-defined processes and a willingness to adapt ways of working with SAP standards. When that alignment is in place, it supports consistent execution and reporting across teams and regions. When it's not, the system can feel heavy and slow to adapt. - FINANCE ASSOCIATE50M-1B USDRetailReview Source
SAP S/4Hana offers a stable solution meeting the needs of our users
We have been using SAP S/4HANA Public for over 4 years and have found the system to be stable and reliable for Finance. The system supports localisation for our companies based in multiple locations and also integrates well with other SAP Solutions. Additionally, it offers a comprehensive suite of applications, enabling multiple teams to efficiently carry out their daily tasks and activities. - VP FINANCE50M-1B USDManufacturingReview Source
Public Cloud SAP S4HANA Offers Broad ERP Coverage With Some Limitations
We have the Public Cloud version of SAP S4HANA and have had an overall favorable experience with the software and supplier. Our primary contact through SAP RISE has been great to work with and constantly stays involved with our team and helps coordinate discussions. The software itself is typical of large ERP systems. It does some things really well, others it differs from how we'd like to perform the action. We knew this when selecting the Public Cloud program and the "clean core" expectation. We specifically wanted a solution that wasn't customizable and worked out of the box.
