Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Excellent technical support."
"The product's framework is good, it integrates well with API Connect, and the private cloud allows for use in any location."
"We have control of the ESXi."
"Our core banking process was monolithic. To address this, we transitioned to a microservices-based architecture. Leveraging Microsoft technologies, including Terminals version 23, we’ve revamped our banking operations. Not all services are microservices; some remain monolithic for simplicity. Containerization is pivotal, with OpenShift (based on Kubernetes and Docker) managing our microservices."
"The most valuable attribute is the platform's ability to consistently deliver high reliability."
"It’s easy to maintain, as everything is handled by SAP."
"SAP Cloud Platform's most valuable features are its exhaustiveness, scalability with minimum maintenance, and functionality."
"The product is very stable."
"The ability to build custom applications on the BTP platform, reducing customization on the SAP HANA system and improving performance and management."
"SAP has provided very good support."
"Scalability is one of the benefits that we have in using the product."
"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."

Additionally, the DevOps layer could benefit from closer integrations, especially for using external applications like Jenkins."
"The support and pricing need to improve."
"I want to see better pricing from the SAP Cloud Platform in the future. I also want more security and scalability from it."
