The implementation cycle has been reduced significantly but has room for integration enhancements
Our existing customers who are on ECC are on-premises. They are migrating to SAP Cloud Platform, specifically on S4HANA.  One of our clients was on SAP ECC on-premises, and they are moving to the cloud on S4HANA on the public cloud system.  We are supporting about 15 customers, mostly small to…
Miguel Maloney Thompson - PeerSpot reviewer
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 provides pretty good clarity."
"The features I found most valuable are the integration options."
"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."
"It’s great that we have the entire suite of SAP at our fingertips."
"SAP Cloud Platform's most valuable features are its exhaustiveness, scalability with minimum maintenance, and functionality."
"It is a stable solution, as I never encountered issues when using it."
"SAP is an excellent company with an excellent reputation, excellent products, and dedicated customer support."
"The integration flows are the most valuable feature of this solution."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"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."
"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."
"Shows errors without providing any analysis."
"The tool's UI is not very intuitive for cloud integration, so it needs research to understand its options and how it may work."
"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."
"The product's support team has certain shortcomings, not from the solution's portal perspective but from the back-end side."
"I'd like to see more local integration."
"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."
"I can’t speak to features that may be missing."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
"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 functionality needs to be improved."
"Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing can be negotiated."
"Cost-wise, I'm unsure of how expensive the SAP Cloud Platform is."
"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."
"The tool could get too pricey...Small enterprises that want to leverage the tool's features will have difficulty in utilizing the solution."
"The cost when it comes to monitoring can be difficult."
"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."
"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."
"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."
