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 product captures data in real time."
"SAP Cloud Platform's most valuable features are its exhaustiveness, scalability with minimum maintenance, and functionality."
"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."
"Its integration with SAP solutions is impressive, so if you have applications that utilize SAP data, the SAP Cloud Platform is pretty good."
"SAP Cloud Platform's performance is much faster than the on-premises solution because of continuous fine-tuning by their team."
"Great Integration Suite, with CPI being its stable component."
"The SAP Cloud Platform has been effective for us because the processing time is reduced, and we can access it easily."
"It’s great that we have the entire suite of SAP at our fingertips."
"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."
"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."
"The technical support is extremely helpful, and they have a very good support team."
 

Cons

"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 pricing is too high across all SAP products relative to resource utilization."
"I'd like to see more local integration."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements with the price and the licensing."
"The product could be improved for consistent user interfaces. Although it is one platform, the user interface logic (e.g., where buttons are defined on the screen) differs from service to service."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Regarding improvements, I think the user experience, specifically the developer experience during design time, could be better. Platforms like MuleSoft and Flowgear have much better design times."
"For our organization, the price is the main downside."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"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 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."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cost-wise, I'm unsure of how expensive the SAP Cloud Platform is."
"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."
"SAP provides good discounts."
"The tool could get too pricey...Small enterprises that want to leverage the tool's features will have difficulty in utilizing the solution."
"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."
"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."
