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.

A scalable and stable solution that has good scalability and is easy to setup
It is a scalable solution. I have yet to have a scenario regarding automatic scale and if there's an increase in resource requirement or need. We have yet to have that scenario. We have yet to test that. The scalability was more than manually adjusting and increasing whatever I had to do. I rate it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The entire SAP ecosystem is a valuable feature. It provides access to SAP S/4HANA, ACG systems, and their Fiori launchpad, making it easy to navigate between them. This makes the enterprise very accessible."

"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."
"It's suitable for various sizes of companies. I have used it with big companies and with small ones as well."

"The technical support is extremely helpful, and they have a very good support team."

Cons

"Regarding improvements, I think the user experience, specifically the developer experience during design time, could be better. Platforms like MuleSoft and Flowgear have much better design times."
"The current pricing model is credit-based. We would like to have more information about the usage of the existing applications."
"Speaking about the public cloud, it's a very rigid system. So, there is not a lot of customization possible in a public cloud environment."
"I'd like to see more local integration."
"It would be helpful to have additional samples for SoapUI that include interface methodologies and templates."
"It would be helpful to have additional samples for SoapUI that include interface methodologies and templates."
"I can’t speak to features that may be missing."
"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."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
"I would like to see better integration into enterprise storage products."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"An S3 like storage system, if they have a s3 API compatible system I can move my files from AWS."
"Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SAP's pricing is usually high compared to the competition. But this is also justified because they hold their products and services to quite high standards."
"SAP Cloud Platform is expensive. It can be quite costly."
"The cost when it comes to monitoring can be difficult."
"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 tool could get too pricey...Small enterprises that want to leverage the tool's features will have difficulty in utilizing the solution."
"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 provides good discounts."
"Cost-wise, I'm unsure of how expensive the SAP Cloud Platform is."
"I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees."
"Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."
