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

"SAP Cloud Platform allows flexibility in integrating with other applications and supports customizations."
"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."
"The mobile access capability is very beneficial."
"The ability to build custom applications on the BTP platform, reducing customization on the SAP HANA system and improving performance and management."
"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."
"The dashboard gives pretty good clarity of what's happening and what needs to be done."
"The integration flows are the most valuable feature of this solution."
"To be able to define multiple sub accounts in order to accommodate and separate development, test, and productive environments."
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"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."
"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."
"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."
 

Cons

"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."
"The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting."
"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."
"Everything is very expensive, so it is not helping with the infrastructure costs."
"The product needs improvement for serverless native integrations. They should opt for serverless features as all the customers worldwide choose cloud-based products."
"Planning features are limited to the finance module."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"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 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."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SAP Cloud Platform is an expensive solution."
"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."
"Cost-wise, I'm unsure of how expensive the SAP Cloud Platform is."
"The solution is worth the money."
"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."
"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."
"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."
