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.

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

"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."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"Backing up and recovery for my domain is very easy and fast. In addition, applying patches and undoing applied patches is effective and easy to do."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"SAP is an excellent company with an excellent reputation, excellent products, and dedicated customer support."
"The maintenance part can be outsourced easily."
"Improved our speed to bring our mobile applications into productive use in a cost-effective way."
"I found flexibility most valuable in the SAP Cloud Platform. It's a simple tool that's good even for first-time users."
"The tool's most valuable aspects are the niche technologies and the latest editions. The way these updates are rolled out makes it easy to manage because clients and customers are not responsible for keeping everything up to date. It's SAP's responsibility, which makes it much easier to take advantage of the new features they roll out every month."
"Cloud Platform's stability is great."
"The platform is extremely scalable."
 

Cons

"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"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."
"The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
"The tool's UI is not very intuitive for cloud integration, so it needs research to understand its options and how it may work."
"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."
"The pricing is too high across all SAP products relative to resource utilization."
"There is a lot of room for improvement in customer service and support. The availability of knowledgeable support to the implementation partners and the customers could be better."
"My impression of the stability is that it is not good. Almost every month there is something new and that makes us nervous about delivery."
"Everything is very expensive, so it is not helping with the infrastructure costs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
"It is somewhat expensive."
"The price of the solution depends on the package that is purchased. There are many packages to choose from. The packages are not overly expensive."

"SAP provides good discounts."
"Licensing costs for this solution are based on the number of users and the bandwidth."
"I discovered that the SAP Cloud Platform is affordable, contrary to the impression that it's expensive. The pricing for extra packages or messages is quite reasonable, especially for things like message throughput and processing."
"The cost when it comes to monitoring can be difficult."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"SAP Cloud Platform is generally more expensive than the other options."
