It provides access to private and public clouds. I would like to be able to select the best private cloud.
I would like to be able to select the best private cloud to use in terms of service and cost. If I need to put an application on the cloud, I would like to know which provider to use. I would like to know the best option for this application.

Consistently beneficial with excellent accessibility although support's response time needs improvement
The features and functions of the SAP Cloud Platform are very good; the performance is improved when compared with the older versions. Earlier, we were using Oracle DB, and after HANA DB migration, it is fine. We are getting the reports, and processing time is also reduced. Almost all the features of the SAP Cloud Platform are fine and good. SAP Fiori has also entered into the picture, and we are developing the Fiori apps. We have started with the BTP for the new innovations as per the SAP roadmap. The main benefits of the SAP Cloud Platform for us are that earlier we had the primary data center at our place, but now we have shifted to the cloud. The maintenance is free for us; the maintenance is completely done by this SAP partnership with Cloud4C. We have started using the SAP Analytics Cloud, and we have developed many applications for SAP SAC. We are going to give the presentation to our chairman most probably next week. The analytics features positively influence decision-making for us. The SAP Cloud Platform has been effective for us because the processing time is reduced, and we can access it easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's improved the delivery of services to our clients, and I believe my clients get new business and better performance."
"The most valuable feature is our access to private and public clouds."
"Helion Being backed by a vendor (HPE) rather than vanilla openstack gives us a little more confidence that the product is now at a level of maturity where we are happy to start consuming open technologies."
"We have many more services, including self-service, and we don't have to call IT and wait for weeks or months for service, which is the biggest benefit for our business."
"HPE Helion provides access to world-class personnel and skill sets, and their ability to perform repeatedly at a high standard provides a positive experience."
"The entire SAP ecosystem is a valuable feature. It provides access to SAP S/4HANA, ACG systems, and their Fiori launchpad, making it easy to navigate between them. This makes the enterprise very accessible."
"It is a stable solution, as I never encountered issues when using it."
"One of the most valuable features I have found is that the solution is secure."
"Scalability is one of the benefits that we have in using the product."
"The event-based approach is valuable."
"I rate the solution's scalability an eight out of ten. My company has 800 users."
"The most valuable feature of this product is the scalability inherent in it because it resides on the cloud."
"SAP is an excellent company with an excellent reputation, excellent products, and dedicated customer support."
 

Cons

"With a lot of the services we use, we need a single dashboard that could do more."
"I would like to be able to select the best private cloud to use in terms of service and cost."
"If they could reduce the cost, that would be good as there is much competition, and many companies and organizations are looking to reduce costs."
"We need improvements for more hybrid use. Right now, the system is very focused on pay-as-you-go cloud services, and our customers are looking for more a hybrid use."
"Some improvements I think are needed are greater stability and more up to date packages."
"I feel that SAP provides the tools, but after that, you are left on your own. It would be better if they provided more support throughout the usage of their solutions."
"The pricing is too high across all SAP products relative to resource utilization."
"The current pricing model is credit-based. We would like to have more information about the usage of the existing applications."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I've observed a few bugs in SAP. One recent bug I found in Content Modifier is that when using a predefined header to call the current date, it prints the previous date. These are small bugs I found."
"We need to connect our ERP solution via the VPN. We need to make sure our ERP solutions aren't exposed to the outside world. Our teams really struggle with this."
"For some of our customers, the product is too costly to purchase all the components or services."
"When I started looking at the client's IT architecture, I started by doing a study of their services, DVM, data volume, and management services. According to the results, they could be a lot better at this."
