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 most valuable feature of this product is the scalability inherent in it because it resides on the cloud."
"The most valuable features of SAP Cloud Platform are security integration and scalability."
"The HANA replications are very useful."
"The tool's most valuable aspects are the niche technologies and the latest editions. The way these updates are rolled out makes it easy to manage because clients and customers are not responsible for keeping everything up to date. It's SAP's responsibility, which makes it much easier to take advantage of the new features they roll out every month."
"Great Integration Suite, with CPI being its stable component."
"At the moment the most valuable aspects of the solution are the project management and finance features."
"One of the best features of this solution is that it is web-based and you can log in and work on it from anywhere."
"My advice to anyone who is doing such a thing right now is not to listen to the old reputation of SAP in terms of complexity and difficulty in deployment."
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."
"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 dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
"We almost don't have to maintain our servers."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product needs improvement for serverless native integrations. They should opt for serverless features as all the customers worldwide choose cloud-based products."
"I want to see better pricing from the SAP Cloud Platform in the future. I also want more security and scalability from it."
"Everything is very expensive, so it is not helping with the infrastructure costs."
"Reporting is confusing. There are three or four areas. One is the 4HANA SAP, then BPC reporting."
"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."
"Usability is a challenge most of the time and not being able to get all of the information."
"I would like for it to have integration to GitHub."
"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."
"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."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
 

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."
"Licensing costs for this solution are based on the number of users and the bandwidth."
"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."
"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 pricing can be negotiated."
"The tool could get too pricey...Small enterprises that want to leverage the tool's features will have difficulty in utilizing the solution."
"SAP Cloud Platform is generally more expensive than the other options."
"Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."
"I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees."
