"Easy to upgrade, easy to expand storage and change your EC2 types."
"The monitoring is the most valuable aspect of the product."
"AWS is easier to implement than other solutions, and it's more reliable."
"It's easy to manage. We can use a wide range of technologies with AWS."
"The features with Amazon AWS that I have found most valuable are its flexibility and high availability. These are the most important and attractive points for me."
"Works very quickly and is well managed."
"It has helped reduce the cost by rationing the computing power and paying only on a per usage basis, instead of provisioning unneeded, idle, or unutilized computing power that is used only at 20% of its capacity or time."
"The scalability is a valuable feature."
"The product is very stable."
"The solution is very useful and interactive with a dashboard for viewing other interfaces."
"To be able to define multiple sub accounts in order to accommodate and separate development, test, and productive environments."
"The most valuable features of the SAP Cloud Platform are the extensions and integrations. Additionally, there are a lot of AI-based microservices."
"SAP Cloud Platform's most valuable features are its exhaustiveness, scalability with minimum maintenance, and functionality."
"SAP is an excellent company with an excellent reputation, excellent products, and dedicated customer support."
"The dashboard provides pretty good clarity."
"The most valuable feature is the data synchronization, or the push and pull of the data."
"Requires better integration with other cloud products."
"The initial setup is not easy at all."
"The feedback we are getting from our customers, especially here in Turkey where the exchange rate fluctuates regularly, is that the solution is quite expensive."
"Identity and access management on AWS could be straightforward."
"Our use case is limited to virtual services and RPA development. We are not using it quite heavily, and there are not many issues or problems so far. However, it would be great if it could be integrated with more AI features and proactive monitoring. It could also have more automatic capacity expansion features. For example, when renting out some space, memory, or computing power, the service can have the capacity to expand by itself without being manually handled by us."
"A person with no AWS experience might find it overwhelming at first."
"The pricing could be adjusted to provide more advantages versus current on-premise solutions for business applications."
"The security right now needs improvement. It's not bad, per se. It's just that there's always room for improvement in security."
"The main problem is that there aren't any easy migrations from SAP PO to SAP CPI, so from process orchestration to cloud platform integration."
"I can’t speak to features that may be missing."
"The current pricing model is credit-based. We would like to have more information about the usage of the existing applications."
"We need to connect our ERP solution via the VPN. We need to make sure our ERP solutions aren't exposed to the outside world. Our teams really struggle with this."
"I would like to see more and better support for data transformations."
"What I would like to see improved is the learning curve."
"Planning features are limited to the finance module."
"The tool's UI is not very intuitive for cloud integration, so it needs research to understand its options and how it may work."
