Charles Powell - PeerSpot reviewer
Very good security features for strengthened data protection
I am not going to speak to their roadmap. Amazon operates Bedrock as an ecosystem supporting third-party models. I am speculating here, but I am sure those third-party models will always be present. However, one must consider that Amazon native models could proliferate Bedrock in the future. We would welcome Amazon native models to Bedrock, since, if they are natively built by Amazon, they are tuned to SageMaker and other Amazon service layers. They have done this somewhat for generative AI, however, in AgenTek AI business, the only foundation models we can rely on for scaling now are the Cloud 3.5 models like Haiku and SONNET, designed for low latency and complex AI business use cases.

High stability, reasonably priced, and important for digital transformations
Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation. SAP as a legacy system is missing that flavor. The solution is not a traditional ERP software so should be used as a digital transformation tool. That is the story to project to customers, partners, and sales teams. This will help the solution grow faster than GCP, AWS, or Azure. In fact, Google Cloud Platform is now collaborating with SAP for digital transformation. The solution should offer affordable modules that are customized to startups with 50 to 500 employees. Most people think of SAP as being only for big enterprises but it could be very useful for smaller companies. There are 40,000 to 50,000 startups in APAC each year and that is a large volume. Many of the solution's modules could be used by those startups. Google is targeting this market with chat boards and automation tools at a reasonable price or with six months of free usage. SAP should come up with this kind of module and include sandbox so providers can play with a few of the POCs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Data encryption while in transit and at rest is managed through Bedrock account."
"The most valuable feature of Bedrock is its security and the model's ability to modify vector dimensions easily."
"Bedrock offers various foundational models in one place."
"The no-code application of the service is beneficial since it allows creating solutions without extensive coding knowledge."
"The most beneficial aspect of Bedrock is its pool of models to choose from, catering to specific needs."
"Amazon Bedrock offers an environment where we only pay for the model we use, and AWS handles the scaling."
"Amazon Bedrock is easy to use and practical, allowing for quick development."
"The integration with pre-trained AI models has been very beneficial, allowing me to quickly access powerful machine learning models without the need to build them from scratch."
"The solution does provide quite a lot of support, upgrades, automated batch updates, etc."
"What I like the most is that we can convert databases into a proper multi-dimensional model, and then we can project with the integration with Power BI."
"The solution is stable and we have never had a problem. We started with one terabyte of data when the solution was first implemented and today we have around almost 600 gigabytes of data, which means means the compression works properly. Before migrating from ECC, we had nine terabytes of data."
"The solution's initial setup process is straightforward."
"It is a stable and scalable product."
"The scalability is good because we have some cloud resources to support the ERP."
"The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable."
"The processes and the way we take advantage and use assistance are good."
 

Cons

"While working with Bedrock, I incurred charges that were not explicitly mentioned in the pricing documentation."
"Amazon native models could proliferate Bedrock in the future. We would welcome Amazon native models to Bedrock since, if they are natively built by Amazon, they are tuned to SageMaker and other Amazon service layers."
"I would appreciate a greater focus on agentic Gen AI applications in Bedrock."
"There is a need for improved documentation, smoother integration, and possibly reduced prices given the competition."
"Bedrock could be improved by having an API that allows for easy integration with services outside of Bedrock."
"The user interface of Amazon Bedrock on the management console needs improvements. It's very bland at the moment."
"The user interface of Amazon Bedrock on the management console needs improvements."
"The advantage of Bedrock is not as an amazing enabler of AI platforms, yet we utilize it to deploy application services and microservices within Bedrock ecosystem and leverage prequalified foundation models like Claude and others."
"The cost could be improved. I think it's higher than the competition."
"I would rate the stability a four out of ten. It's an area that could use improvement"
"They should probably offer more cloud services. Most of the cloud infrastructure providers we have make everything pretty transparent, you know what you're getting, you have all these metrics and measurements and everything in the dashboard. Here you have to go through the contracting negotiations and all those things."
"The customer has a lot of dependencies on SAP which means they don't have much flexibility to go and update the system when or if they need to. They will need to wait for the quarterly updates. It's possible to maybe raise a special request with SAP if it is absolutely necessary."
"The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."
"SAP should adopt more rapid changes in market processes and customer needs to deliver solutions that meet new industry requirements swiftly."
"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."
"The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of using Amazon Bedrock is quite high, as I incurred unexpected charges amounting to $130 USD within two weeks without actually deploying the model."
"One customer paid around $100 to $200 per month, which was significant given their overall infrastructure costs."
"I rate the product's price a five out of ten."
"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"The product itself is relatively expensive."
"The price is high compared to other databases, which is why HANA is still not widely used. Some enterprises prefer Sybase, Oracle, or other traditional databases because HANA is a little pricey. Cost is one factor SAP needs to work on to make it more competitive with other databases. Otherwise, they'll never be able to develop a mass customer base."
"The licensing of the solution is on a yearly basis. The normal price of the solution is quite high, but I received a special discount by making a purchase near the end of the year."
"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
"The solution could be less expensive."
