The implementation cycle has been reduced significantly but has room for integration enhancements

Pros

"For the DevOps team, it was a relief since Azure has managed services."
"The portability, moving from one platform to another, is easy."
"I've used the elasticity and scalability all over."
"In general, customers appreciate its ability to run different workloads, manage applications through CI/CD pipelines like Jenkins, and leverage tools like Helm charts and Kako."
"The solution offers the most robust Kubernetes orchestration available."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud is the UI console. We are able to receive the resources from the console directly."

"It's suitable for various sizes of companies. I have used it with big companies and with small ones as well."
"The HANA replications are very useful."
"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."
"The integration flows are the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It is a stable solution, as I never encountered issues when using it."
"Though I'm not a massive fan of the SAP Cloud Platform, it has good features, such as its integration with other SAP solutions. When integrating with SAP or even the SAP sister company SuccessFactors and other companies SAP has acquired, you also enjoy data features in the SAP Cloud Platform, such as role-based permissions and other characteristics you can import from SAP."
"It's very easily implemented, especially with the Grow Platform."
 

Cons

"Many of the managed services are not accessible."
"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."
"Making it even more cost-effective could be explored."

"There is room for improvement in cluster-based queue monitoring and autoscaling."
"The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy."
"The service mesh integrations could improve the solution."
"I'd like to see more local integration."
"The tool's reliability is a disappointment for us."
"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."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like for it to have integration to GitHub."
"It would be helpful to have additional samples for SoapUI that include interface methodologies and templates."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
"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."
