Alibaba Cloud vs SAP Business One on AWS comparison

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

"I rate Alibaba Cloud's scalability an eight out of ten."

"We use the solution's AI features for data analysis."

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

"What's good about Alibaba Cloud is its database service. It's also good in the virtual machine area."

"ECS is the most valuable feature of the solution."

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

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

"I believe the solution is very stable."

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

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

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

"With the tool, there is no shutdown or breakdown time my company experiences."

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

"The product makes it easier to overview the ERP system and manufacturing processes through different modules."

"It is well-established and caters to our user base efficiently."

"A big area for improvement in Alibaba Cloud is its support. Another area for improvement in Alibaba Cloud is SDK-based service because sometimes, the SDKs don't work correctly. Support for API-based services also needs improvement in Alibaba Cloud because, at the moment, it's not that stable."

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

"Regarding security issues, Alibaba Cloud is more complex and better suited for developers and R&D teams. On the other hand, Google Cloud is more convenient for new users."

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

"Alibaba Cloud needs to increase availability in Thailand."

"It is not robust."

"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’s user interface could be improved."

"It is hard for the customers to get the product from the market. Improvement-wise, it can shorten its time to reach the markets."

"It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines."

"I feel that these vendors must be well trained so that they can deploy this solution."

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

"The warehouse management system requires further improvement."

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

"Not a ten because it's not software for a structured company or something very big. That is my impression."

"The web client is an area with shortcomings, which SAP is presently working on, and needs to improve."

"The cost is better than similar solutions."

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

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

"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 tool's cost is reasonable."

"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."
