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

"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this product is the scalability inherent in it because it resides on the cloud."
"SAP Cloud Platform allows flexibility in integrating with other applications and supports customizations."
"The HANA replications are very useful."
"Great Integration Suite, with CPI being its stable component."
"It’s easy to maintain, as everything is handled by SAP."
"I found flexibility most valuable in the SAP Cloud Platform. It's a simple tool that's good even for first-time users."
"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."
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
"If you are looking for a great PaaS product, don't hesitate to check Jelastic!"
"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 solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."
 

Cons

"I feel that SAP provides the tools, but after that, you are left on your own. It would be better if they provided more support throughout the usage of their solutions."
"The source controller needs improvement. There are some disadvantages to it."
"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."
"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."
"While it was good for a small entity, it was not ideal for a large enterprise."
"Reporting is confusing. There are three or four areas. One is the 4HANA SAP, then BPC reporting."
"The pricing is too high across all SAP products relative to resource utilization."
"My impression of the stability is that it is not good. Almost every month there is something new and that makes us nervous about delivery."
"An S3 like storage system, if they have a s3 API compatible system I can move my files from AWS."
"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."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing can be negotiated."
"The product's pricing varies and depends on the customers' needs."
"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."
"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 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 cost when it comes to monitoring can be difficult."
"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."
"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."
"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."
