We performed a comparison between Google Compute Engine and SAP S4HANA on AWS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The main motive for choosing Google Compute Engine is pricing."
"Google is managing all hardware. You don't need to provision or pre-provision your computer engine."
"One of GCE's best features is the managed instance groups."
"The solution helps to direct SSH into the machine at the click of a button. It also helps to deploy container images right from the UI. There is no need to manage the containers on the machine. I also like the tool’s Spot provision model."
"Everything is simple and useful. The initial setup is not challenging."
"The support for ephemeral instances has been particularly valuable for me. It allows me to significantly reduce costs for temporary virtual machines by automatically destroying them once they are no longer needed, which can result in cost savings of up to 90 percent. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"The solution is readily available, and software engineers can provision it. It is scalable and allows self-service."
"It's the most engineer-friendly product compared to Amazon AWS or Azure."
"They have their own instances where you can host your database."
"SAP S4HANA's most valuable features include backup, security, storage, infrastructure, and enabling AI."
"The most valuable feature of SAP S4HANA on AWS is that when developed on a new structured system it can be configured."
"Technical support is very good from SAP and AWS...Scalability is always available in the solution...With a stable environment, it should be running very nicely."
"I like that they are very familiar with our VM which makes it easy to use."
"The solution is scalable."
"We have found the retail business features to be the most valuable."
"Provides good performance and regular release of new features."
"I rate the product's stability around five to six out of ten."
"The biggest problem is that it's got a very archaean and complex security environment that has to be very carefully set up and is easy to break."
"The licensing process is not a very straightforward process."
"Google Compute Engine needs to have multi-region support. It would also be nice to have a tracking mechanism."
"It has some limitations. For example, you don't get through layer two connectivity. So I've had some difficulty deploying custom VMs. For example, you can't deploy a KVM file to file directly on GCP."
"I would like to improve the solution’s UI while deploying a container. It is sometimes hard to figure out the container’s details and format that you want to deploy. The tool does not give you a guide to find out the error and why the container is not starting up which could be because you have configured it wrong. This is always a hit on the setup."
"Google Compute Engine does not have many options at a lower tier level. If they had more options it will be better. For example, Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure, have more options and different types of instances, of VMs we can select."
"It is not very user-friendly for non-experienced users"
"Doesn't have a common development environment."
"SAP S4HANA on AWS could improve by having more data centers because there are limited data centers in the region I am in. Amazon AWS has announced a few more data centers to be added, but they're still not 100 percent operational for SAP solutions."
"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 tool should undergo an overall improvement, including support. Data sharing should also be faster."
"The documentation isn't clear enough."
"The product could use more capabilities in the areas of robotics, machine learning and artificial intelligence, but these improvements are already on the way."
"The pricing is a little bit high."
"The drawback of this tool versus an on-site tool is that you've got to upgrade the tool. The software is upgraded as it gets upgraded and you've got to be ready to change whatever processes and do whatever training you need to do."
