We performed a comparison between Linode 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."For small businesses and people who have some technical skills and are good with Linux command line, this solution is great. I love Linode because it is very fast. Whereas, the same configuration on Azure and AWS will be so slow. The best thing is that their pricing and speed are great."
"The solution integrates easily."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"The cloud management panel is nice."
"It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"Because of the way that their pricing model is set up, I can scale up or down the size of a customer's server very easily. It makes life very easy for me when they run out of space, need more speed or RAM, etc. I can very easily pay the difference and reboot the machine, and now I have the upgrade that I wanted. That just makes it extremely simple."
"When it comes to the Linode Kubernetes Engine and the amount of automation it provides, it's awesome, it's a game-changer. If a process randomly dies, it could take me a while to notice that it has died, if I haven't set up monitoring. With Kubernetes, it will just restart itself using Heartbeats."
"The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"The most valuable feature of SAP S4HANA on AWS is that when developed on a new structured system it can be configured."
"We have found the retail business features to be the most valuable."
"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."
"The internal integration within departments and integration with third parties is simplified in the system."
"We have approximately 1,000 people using the solution in my organization. The solution is scalable."
"The HANA database is a valuable feature"
"It's easy to use and user-friendly."
"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."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"The only improvement in this aspect of the service which I can think of is perhaps a pool of developers who could be hired for those cases where the need goes beyond the support offered."
"Right now, they don't have multiple data centers. They have limited data centers. I am currently using the Singapore and Mumbai data centers, but I am looking for data centers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. They need to improve the availability of their data centers and partnership engagements with cloud Panda solution providers, like us."
"Everything is up-to-date for a small business. But for big business, they need to improve certain things. For example, there should be better security."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"I don't know how all of their services work, but my understanding is that they're not offering the entry-level machine for someone who just wants to own their own web page."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"I'm not sure what could be improved at Linode since they're likely already making enhancements, especially with the Akamai acquisition and, I don't have any specific suggestions as I haven't encountered any major issues. I might consider using API for managing DNS records, but overall, I'm satisfied with Linode."
"The solution needs a warehouse management feature. Right now, there's a built-in WM, but they don't have an EWM extended warehouse management built-in, in S/4HANA. It's a separate product. So if they can add that, that would be great."
"CPU architecture is an area where the solution currently has some issues. Improvement in CPU architecture could improve the performance side and the adherence to the parameters set by SAP."
"The GUI is age-old, the pricing is too high for hardware and older customizations are not working consistently."
"The manufacturing application system, it's not as user-friendly in S4HANA."
"The tool should undergo an overall improvement, including support. Data sharing should also be faster."
"SAP S4HANA could be improved by adding a click-to-deploy model."
"If you go to AWS's site they offer training programs that are very good. SAP does not do the same, if SAP could provide some training that would be great."
"The documentation isn't clear enough."
