Featured Reviews

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.

Real-time data processing and good support with room for market-driven improvements
SAP RFX and overall SAP solutions provide a very intuitive and integrated solution within finance, leading procurement, and other business scenarios. The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable. SAP's capability to integrate with other systems like GIS and non-SAP applications also stands out.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Bedrock is its security and the model's ability to modify vector dimensions easily."
"The impact of Amazon Bedrock's sophisticated natural language processing on our company's ability to predict future outcomes is very interesting because, before we were using some Python codes, we created server instances to upload it, and we had some difficulty integrating it with the ecosystem because all the features we were creating were manually based."
"One of the best features of Amazon Bedrock is that it is easy to use, and users do not have to worry about the infrastructure."
"The valuable feature of Bedrock is its flexibility and comprehensiveness in what it's offering, providing parameters that we can change."
"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."
"Bedrock proved beneficial for generating SQL queries, which helped in delivering precise information from the database."
"It is the best solution in this category and is rated a nine out of ten."
"Overall, I rate Amazon Bedrock ten out of ten."
"It has significantly streamlined our operations."
"The scalability is good because we have some cloud resources to support the ERP."
"I am impressed with how the solution integrates with the ME system and ALE IDocs."
"The solution's initial setup process is straightforward."
"My company has not had any problems with the product's initial setup phase."
"We have a wide range of use cases for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud. These include production planning, materials management, sales management, treasury, finance, appliance maintenance, real estate, and warehouse management."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial if Bedrock were optimized for hyperscale use to avoid needing a mixed approach with SageMaker."
"I would appreciate a greater focus on agentic Gen AI applications in Bedrock."
"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."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if Amazon Bedrock could provide multiple responses to a query, allowing users to choose the best option."
"For companies in general, the main pain point or main issue related to Amazon Bedrock is security because they are not confident that all information is hidden by this kind of architecture."
"While working with Bedrock, I incurred charges that were not explicitly mentioned in the pricing documentation."
"Overall, I rate Amazon Bedrock a seven out of ten. It is slightly difficult to integrate with our product."
"Enterprise Cloud's reporting could be more automated to improve content accountability, especially regarding BI reports."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"I would rate the stability a four out of ten. It's an area that could use improvement"
"Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation."
"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."
"Perhaps minor changes to the enterprise structure could be made, but the rest is fine."
 

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."
"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."
"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
"If you choose the minimum, it will probably cost around $1,000 USD per month if you take a contract for a year or two."
"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."
"The price is expensive compared to the competition."
"SAP may not be the most cost-effective option, but it does offer a comprehensive set of tools and features. When you have the right information, structure, and dashboard in place, it can provide excellent value. Additionally, competition with Oracle might be a factor to consider."
