IT Security Senior Manager at a educational organization with 1,001-5,000 employees

Has integrated protection with effective mitigation of DDoS attacks

The valuable features include its API Security, anti-bot protection, and web application firewall. It has greatly improved the security posture of my applications, web applications, and also effectively mitigates DDoS attacks. Before implementing the DDoS protection on F5 Volterra, there were about three successful DDoS incidents. Afterward, I did not experience a single incident for eight months.

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.

Cons

"The reporting needs improvement in Volterra."

"The reporting needs improvement in Volterra. I do not have many options to create a customized report."

"It’s a common challenge with applications like Microsoft and SAP that they tend to rely on engineers rather than human resources personnel for knowledge and implementation."

"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 solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."

"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 needs to embed or integrate with IBP to fully activate the PPT module with efficiency."

"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."

"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The product itself is relatively expensive."

"It's very, very expensive."

"The price is expensive compared to the competition."

"The solution could be less expensive."
