Reviewer Insights for: SAP S4Hana Security

SAP S4Hana Security Likes & Dislikes

Like

It features strong and granular access control which enables precise role-based authorization. Its scalable security model is suitable for complex and growing business environments. It provides high level of system stability and reliability without impacting performance.

Like

Role-based access and control. Zero trust capabilities & enforcement.

Like

It provides you with granular role-based access control (RBAC) and its advanced auditing and logging capabilities give you comfort in investigating an issue and being inline with compliance.

Dislike

High complexity is experienced in role design and authorization management. Role changes and transport management are time consuming, especially in complex landscapes. Significant expertise is required to configure and maintain security correctly.

Dislike

High licensing costs. No AI/ML based detections. Manual patching required for updates.

Dislike

Designing roles in S/4HANA, especially with Fiori apps, can be complex due to the need to manage both backend and frontend. Security administrators also need deep knowledge of both traditional SAP security and the newer concepts introduced with S/4HANA and Fiori.
