Featured Reviews

Adam Elguennioui - PeerSpot reviewer
SAP Consultant at SA&BC
Offers flexibility and better accessibility to users
The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution. When working with a cloud tool, it's never 100 percent secure and it is always something to take into account. I would like to be more comfortable working with it and feeling safer. In the future, the tool can be made faster. In the future, I would like to see maybe some AI features in the tool to help automate stuff. You need to be able to create your own models to help create some automated actions.
Frederic Hautecoeur - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior System Integrations Architect at bs-team
Event-based data exchange has improved integrations but analytics and support remain weak
SAP Cloud Platform is a strong part of their offering. They are very poor in the analytics area. You do not have much available. If you want to have analytics, you have to do everything yourself. Everything is very expensive, so it is not helping with the infrastructure costs. There is a lot of latency and glitches. The support is very difficult and not really helpful. The fact is you are completely losing control of the infrastructure. If something bad happens, there is nothing you can really do. You have to ask the support and the support will answer when they want or when they can.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Fast, rapid and agile development and deployment of an ADF application (within Proof-of-Concept project) involves four developers in a distributed team (across two different time-zones) and through this they are able to cooperate quickly, without the usual problems of dev/test environment deployments."
"The product is very good, fine-tuned, and stable, and support is available 24/7 and is really fast and effective."
"The framework supports auto-configuration. A lot of features are already there. It is reliable and user-friendly to develop code, back-end engineering, or locate specific information such as addresses."
"The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"Moving to Oracle Cloud has addressed some of our major concerns with having to manage the infrastructure, which needs better scalability, integrated security, and better database access."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"Developers deploy their builds and if we need to scale the environment we can do it quickly."
"The SAP Cloud Platform has been effective for us because the processing time is reduced, and we can access it easily."
"The mobile access capability is very beneficial."
"The integration flows are the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It’s great that we have the entire suite of SAP at our fingertips."
"The solution is very useful and interactive with a dashboard for viewing other interfaces."
"It is a stable solution, as I never encountered issues when using it."
"The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward."
"It's suitable for various sizes of companies. I have used it with big companies and with small ones as well."
 

Cons

"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do."
"I would like to see more monitors for standard edition"
"It has been built on Java technology but requires more integration with other APIs and CI tools."
"Integration with Oracle products is well-supported. The same should be provided for other products that are used in most organizations, like PeopleSoft, CA, etc."
"Some of the automated platform patches broke our existing functionality and we were not notified about it."
"The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."
"It needs to have the ability to create a service with the same name as another one when the initial creation failed as sometimes it's necessary to have a service with exact name."
"From what I understand, the SAP Cloud Platform is for implementation on AWS or Azure, and it's not meant to be a full-fledged cloud solution, so while using the platform, an area for improvement is that it has fewer offerings and is less flexible when compared to AWS. AWS has a lot more flexibility than the SAP Cloud Platform. I've also used Azure in college and AWS in between, and I prefer AWS over the SAP Cloud Platform. The only reason I would ever stick with the SAP Cloud Platform is to create applications integrated with SAP or with other companies within SAP, such as SuccessFactors. When you go into the SAP Cloud Platform web page, it's a bit bland and has relatively limited offerings. For example, there doesn't seem to be in-house MongoDB support, but I realize there's in-house support for the PostgreSQL database, so there are fewer offerings in the SAP Cloud Platform. Yes, you can always go for a database on the actual MongoDB server rather than depending on the offerings of the SAP Cloud Platform. However, it's still better to support MongoDB from the platform, so payment is consolidated, rather than going to a different location to make a payment. Another room for improvement in the SAP Cloud Platform is the need to create an SAP subaccount if you need to use the platform unless you have an SSO login by Google or if you're using a different identity provider such as Microsoft or Google. Instead of requiring dependency on SAP, it would be good if users could use the SAP Cloud Platform even without a subaccount on SAP. For example, when hosting an application on AWS or Azure, you don't have to create an account in Amazon or Microsoft. You can still do it using Google. You can use almost anything, so I'd like SAP to improve by removing the dependency, particularly the requirement to create an SAP account to use the SAP Cloud Platform."
"The cost when it comes to monitoring can be difficult. We have to be very, very careful and aware of any changes so the price won't go up too much."
"The main problem is that there aren't any easy migrations from SAP PO to SAP CPI, so from process orchestration to cloud platform integration."
"For our organization, the price is the main downside."
"The solution's document management system on the cloud is a bit slow, and document uploading takes time."
"I would like to see more and better support for data transformations."
"The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting."
"I'm taking away three points from the perfect score of ten because the platform still lacks many features and is very basic compared to the offerings from competitors such as AWS and Azure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
"It is somewhat expensive."
"Oracle is a little more expensive right now, but not much compared to SAP. Oracle's prices are very much dependent on the scale of the project and how many users are there."
"The product's pricing varies and depends on the customers' needs."
"Cost-wise, I'm unsure of how expensive the SAP Cloud Platform is."
"SAP Cloud Platform is generally more expensive than the other options."
"SAP Cloud Platform costs $2 to $5 per hour, while I found other platforms way more affordable. You have to pay per use, though that's fine because that means the cost is flexible."
"The cost when it comes to monitoring can be difficult."
"SAP provides good discounts."
"SAP Cloud Platform is an expensive solution."
"SAP Cloud Platform is expensive. It can be quite costly."
