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.

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 most valuable feature is the data synchronization, or the push and pull of the data."
"It's very easily implemented, especially with the Grow Platform."
"The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward."
"The solution is very useful and interactive with a dashboard for viewing other interfaces."
"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."
"It is very user-friendly, which makes it straightforward."
"The solution can scale."
"One of the best features of this solution is that it is web-based and you can log in and work on it from anywhere."
"Jelastic is exactly what we expect from a PaaS vendor: easy-to-start, easy-to-manage, container based technology, support for vertical and horizontal auto-scaling, and all this without vendor lock-in."
"We almost don't have to maintain our servers."
"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"The technical support is extremely helpful, and they have a very good support team."
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
"If you are looking for a great PaaS product, don't hesitate to check Jelastic!"
"As a strategic solution, it's really good because it will avoid a lot of cost if you are building your data center, for example, or from scratch."
 

Cons

"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."
"SAP's technical support sometimes takes longer to respond."
"Shows errors without providing any analysis."
"Regarding cost, if you consider the SAP Cloud Platform, it is a little bit on the higher side. Whatever we want to purchase, it is in lakhs of rupees or crores only."
"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 source controller needs improvement. There are some disadvantages to it."
"They are still developing this product. It does not really have 100% of the necessary features available to properly service business clients."
"The product's support team has certain shortcomings, not from the solution's portal perspective but from the back-end side."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"I would like to see better integration into enterprise storage products."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
"An S3 like storage system, if they have a s3 API compatible system I can move my files from AWS."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SAP Cloud Platform is generally more expensive than the other options."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the pricing a six or seven."
"The product's pricing varies and depends on the customers' needs."
"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."
"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."
"SAP Cloud Platform is expensive. It can be quite costly."
"Licensing costs for this solution are based on the number of users and the bandwidth."
"The cost when it comes to monitoring can be difficult."
"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."
