Offers free storage, stability and reliable product
It's purely for personal use.
Satish Akkina
Efficient data retrieve, scales well, but streamlining processes could improve
Before we implemented SAP S4HANA, we had a lot of issues with inventory reconciliation and reporting errors. However, with SAP S4HANA, the process... Read more →
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is pretty stable.""Technical support has been good.""Google Cloud is 100 percent stable.""It's available any time you need it.""It is a stable solution.""We can increase the storage as we need.""The most valuable feature of Google Cloud is its security.""The most useful feature of Google Cloud is that it's basically completely managed or fully managed. There is no administration or maintenance needed from the user, and it's very simple to use."

More Google Cloud Pros →

"This product is currently the leading product within this category.""SAP S4HANA's most valuable features include backup, security, storage, infrastructure, and enabling AI.""There are two main features that we find very valuable. One is the interface and the new user experience. That's really, really helpful for the end-user. The second is the HANA database itself because it speeds up the process. In other solutions, like Oracle, there is a lot of redundancy that slows things down.""The HANA database is a valuable feature""The most valuable feature of SAP S4HANA on AWS is that when developed on a new structured system it can be configured.""SAP S4HANA on AWS is an easy-to-use solution.""SAP S4HANA on AWS has high performance. All the data is in one place and it's real-time. When you make an entry you don't have to wait a couple of minutes, hours, or overnight as something the batch process takes time. It is instantaneous and is available to everybody.""This product is much better than most of the other products in this categaory as far as financial capabilities."

Cons
"They could always offer even more storage at the base level.""I would improve the integration with other devices such as smartphones. It is integrated in our company, but I think it could be improved.""It would be nice if they could offer more free storage.""Google Cloud lacks some tools for database migration. I've only used MySQL and AWS in my career, so those are the only ones I can compare. AWS has a database migration tool that you can integrate with a cloud backup, so can take that backup and restore it in the AWS public cloud, but it's not the same with Google Cloud.""Could provide more services.""The security features must be improved.""The privacy could be improved so that it is more secure.""The management side for the database needs some work. Currently, you do everything from the APP. It would be nice to have an interface where you can go in and maintain data and deal with records and do something online."

More Google Cloud Cons →

"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a three out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.""Businesses are particularly interested in process automation, mobile, and web applications. These are the areas that SAP S4HANA is and should be looking to improve on, especially in terms of streamlining processes and automating certain steps.""The product's implementation phase can be very complex for customers.""SAP S4HANA on AWS could improve by having the entire solution available as a web solution. They only have Fiori right now, and it's a solution for certain modules, but not for all the modules that SAP currently has. We would like to see the GUI removed, it is not very good. We want it to be web-based.""Doesn't have a common development environment.""I would like scalability to be improved in the future for faster performance.""We had some storage and legacy migrations problems with SAP S4HANA on AWS.""I would like for them to have more integration with virtualization platforms."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Google cloud is less expensive than other comparable solutions."
  • "The licensing for Google Cloud seems to be quite cheap and they're actually quite reasonable in comparison to Azure, which, as it turns out, is quite expensive. Even though Azure has a data center in South Africa it's still quite costly. There's no scaling, so if you go with the VM, you pay 2500 Rand. When you add another VM, it's another 2500 Rand even though you don't use the whole thing. With Google, you can go up as incrementally as you need to, even if it's just 30 Rand."
  • "The best part of Google Cloud is that it is cheaper than the competitors."
  • "The licensing cost is based on the capacity we use."
  • "It's not really an expensive solution, but it would be better if there were more flexibility in the pricing model."
  • "I am not familiar with the pricing, but I would guess that it is probably cheaper than Microsoft Suite"
  • "It has a monthly subscription. The customers pay based on the usage."
  • "Pricing is high compared to other solutions."

    • More Google Cloud Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Licensing fees are on an annual basis."
  • "The licensing of the product is reasonable but the cost of the hardware is exorbitant."
  • "We pay a monthly fee for the use of SAP S4HANA on AWS for approximately five years. That's the time of the contract."
  • "The price of SAP S4HANA on AWS is reasonable, given how much it costs to maintain a scratch-built system. To upgrade the support there is a fee."
  • "SAP S4HANA's pricing model should be more flexible and transparent - there's a lot of negotiation and internal factors, and some customers get better value and services for the same product."
  • "I would rate the pricing as a two and a half out of five."
  • "Compared to its competitors, SAP S4HANA on AWS is a costly solution."
  • "It's expensive. It would be good if AWS and Azure could reduce the computing cost for people who move to the public cloud."

As one of the leading global infrastructures, this product allows users to securely manage enterprise data, receive valuable insights, and store documents.
