Alibaba Cloud vs SAP Business One on AWS comparison

"Alibaba support is responsive. When we create tickets in the Alibaba portal, they usually respond online or call me in five minutes."

"The most valuable feature of Alibaba Cloud is the communication it allows between two servers."

"It is a scalable product. So, scaling up or scaling down is possible."

"Alibaba Cloud allows for easy setup of mirror sites and backup servers, ensuring data redundancy and high availability."

"It's easy to use, cheaper than other solutions, and more secure."

"Feature-wise, it provides many features. ECS, VM, SP, bucket object storage, and databases are the most valuable."

"We use the product for storage and as a VPN."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy for me since I had a background in cloud products."

"The production and planning processes of the solution are very good."

"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is its reporting capability."

"The way we can make changes in new fields, or make new rules with our IT department, has been very useful."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The initial setup of the product seems to be good."

"Technical support from SAP is great."

"SAP Business One on AWS has good documentation and has many services in the cloud."

"Setting up Business One is straightforward. It took us about three months to deploy Business One on AWS."

"From a performance point of view, Huawei and Azure are faster. Alibaba isn't as good."

"Alibaba Cloud needs to increase availability in Thailand."

"The solution name is not favorable in some markets and could cause us some problems gaining customers."

"The majority of the tools and processes, in general, have a lot of room for improvement."

"Alibaba Cloud has some problems related to latency and connection issues. If you go for a cloud solution provider, you will need to access the Internet, which may result in latency and bandwidth issues, leading to slowness in operations."

"From the improvement point of view, there are lots of issues that we are facing. In all the areas, it seems like it is not mature. For example, a customer wants to provision some VM that has many configurations. If I want to show the price to the customer, it is very challenging. The SDK that Alibaba has provided is very limited. We can have the pricing for VM, but we cannot have pricing for RDS databases or some other services. This is a big concern area for us. They should put more effort into the SDKs or APIs that they provide, for example, pricing APIs or pricing SDK. They do not provide support for most of the services they provide. For example, if I want to get the price of MongoDB, that SDK is not available from Alibaba. Similarly, robust API support is required for S3, which is OSS or Object Storage, so that we can read the data in a faster manner, for example, in chunks. We have raised many issues with the Alibaba support team, and they have been fixing the issues after we report them."

"The solution should have more integration."

"Alibaba Cloud's initial setup is somewhat complex."

"The browser access needs to improve, as everybody in the industry knows how limited it is."

"The interface needs to be improved. It needs to be more user-friendly."

"I would like to achieve better integration with AWS so that it becomes more interconnected with the SAP system."

"The reporting can be improved. Also, it is an expensive solution, and you need consultants for new interfaces as it's very rigid otherwise."

"SAP Business One on AWS could improve by adding more functionality to the web client."

"There is room for improvement in the manufacturing and logistics areas of SAP Business One on AWS."

"I would like SAP to replace Business One's fixed Web client with a native Web solution. Right now, their remote access is based on RVP. We have to access the solution through a Windows-based client. It's not a native Web interface."

"It would be better if the solution was on a cloud infrastructure."

"I don't know the exact cost. It is cheaper than AWS."

"The cost of Alibaba Cloud is lower than that of AWS, but I feel that its price is on the higher end of the spectrum. Alibaba Cloud charges its users a price in dollars"

"The price of Alibaba Cloud is good. If I was to use Microsoft Azure I would have to pay 30 percent more."

"We cut our costs significantly by migrating our infrastructure to the cloud. Alibaba Cloud employs a pay-as-you-go model, so that minimizes many costs for us."

"The cost is better than similar solutions."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."

"The solution's pricing is the same as AWS'."

"I noticed on the pricing that it's quite expensive. It is the price you pay for making a practical choice for enterprise-level companies since it has so many features and it fits an enterprise-level company just like our company right now."

"The product's license is expensive. It could be cheaper."

"There is an annual licensing fee, and it changes once you add or remove users. The solution is on the upper-end side and expensive."

"The price of the limited version is about 70,000 Pesos ($2,900 USD), and the professional version is about double at 140,000 Pesos ($5,800 USD)."

"Though I cannot specifically state whether SAP Business One on AWS is a cheap or expensive product, I can surely say that it is a manageable tool from a cost perspective."

"On average, the licensing costs can be around 50,000 USD. Pricing of the product has certain variables, including the number of licenses and the implementation costs."

"The price of SAP Business One on AWS is reasonable for what we use it for."

"The tool's cost is reasonable."

"Pricing for me, it's not very interesting. I think it's priced at a normal level."
