Head of Department ERP at The Singareni Collieries Company Limited
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 mobile access capability is very beneficial."
"SAP Cloud Platform's performance is much faster than the on-premises solution because of continuous fine-tuning by their team."
"The ability to build custom applications on the BTP platform, reducing customization on the SAP HANA system and improving performance and management."
"The most valuable feature of this product is the scalability inherent in it because it resides on the cloud."
"The best feature of this product is its integration with all SAP versions."
"The solution can scale."
"It’s great that we have the entire suite of SAP at our fingertips."
"The solution is very stable and reliable, and interruptions from a third party or our server are easily identified."
"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"We almost don't have to maintain our servers."
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
"The technical support is extremely helpful, and they have a very good support team."
"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."
"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!"
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see improvements with the price and the licensing."
"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 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 price of the solution could improve."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"Better connectivity to on-premise systems would help us to support older systems that are migrating to the cloud."
"I would like for it to have integration to GitHub."
"What I would like to see improved is the learning curve."
"I would like to see better integration into enterprise storage products."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
"An S3 like storage system, if they have a s3 API compatible system I can move my files from AWS."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product's pricing varies and depends on the customers' needs."
"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 an expensive solution."
"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."
"Licensing costs for this solution are based on the number of users and the bandwidth."
"The solution is worth the money."
"SAP offers yearly, subscription-based, and pay-as-you-use licensing."
"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."
