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 dashboard gives pretty good clarity of what's happening and what needs to be done."
"The HANA replications are very useful."
"I can vouch for the stability; it’s reliable, the performance is good, there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn’t crash or freeze."
"It's suitable for various sizes of companies. I have used it with big companies and with small ones as well."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using this solution is that SAP has been able to save us a great deal of time."
"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is integration with multiple other tools and our data, allowing us to perform analytics and meet our reporting requirements."
"The mobile access capability is very beneficial."
"We almost don't have to maintain our servers."
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
"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."
"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."
"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 technical support is extremely helpful, and they have a very good support team."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
 

Cons

"Allowing more third-party applications to be integrated into the cloud platform would make it easier for customers to adopt SAP Cloud Platform."
"One crucial aspect where SAP lags behind in flexibility is customization to suit specific business requirements. SAP needs to understand that customization is inevitable and should be more supportive of business-driven customization."
"Shows errors without providing any analysis."
"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."
"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."
"For some of our customers, the product is too costly to purchase all the components or services."
"We have had bad experiences or negative ones in performance and with the functionality."
"The main problem is that there aren't any easy migrations from SAP PO to SAP CPI, so from process orchestration to cloud platform integration."
"I would like to see better integration into enterprise storage products."
"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."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SAP Cloud Platform Integration is an expensive product. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"Cost-wise, I'm unsure of how expensive the SAP Cloud Platform is."
"The product's pricing varies and depends on the customers' needs."
"The pricing can be negotiated."
"SAP Cloud Platform is expensive. It can be quite costly."
"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."
"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."
