What 307 Arbolus experts think of SAP S/4HANA

NPS scores span 5 to 10, with most experts rating SAP S/4HANA highly for integration, operational visibility, and process standardization, especially in complex multi-entity deployments. Renewal intent is strong among mid to large enterprise customers with advanced implementations but mixed for those early in the rollout or highly sensitive to cost. Experts praise scalability, functional depth, and unified data models, though emphasize high cost, implementation burden, and support complexity as major cons. Key feedback themes are strong ERP foundation, challenge of migration, and the need for ongoing innovation.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
