We have not yet decided how the SAP Cloud Platform affected our cost savings or business growth, but we want to implement AI with IoT technologies for getting mining industry-specific applications. 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. From SAP's side, the pricing is on the higher side and should be reduced. When compared with other organizations or software companies, it should be minimal or a little bit more, but there is too much of a gap between other software companies and SAP.
The cost for SAP Cloud Platform is high as the server is expensive. Hiring staff to work on S/4HANA Cloud requires high salaries, which impacts the overall budget of the company's implementation.
SAP is competitive compared to other enterprise solutions like Oracle, though not necessarily cheap. Microsoft Dynamics, for example, is for a different kind of customer base.
The cost for implementation was equivalent to about two years' worth of license fees, including both the external agency and internal costs. The pricing for cloud services was quite high, targeting mid-sized companies that probably cannot afford their in-house IT teams.

The tool could get too pricey. The subscription cost and the packet size-related payment we need to make are based on each transaction, making the tool costlier. Big enterprises like our company won't have any issues with the tool's pricing. Small enterprises that want to leverage the tool's features will have difficulty in utilizing the solution. From the landscape perspective or the pricing perspective, SAP's websites have mentioned that the tool's price would depend on the package size, which is around 12 Euros for 100 MB of data. I am not sure of the exact price. The solution's maintenance area is a part of the cost associated with the tool, meaning we don't have to pay any additional charges. The maintenance area is a part of the complete subscription you take. You get all of the services included in the subscription package. Based on the different subscriptions that you have placed, you get different services from SAP.
The estimate is for SAP services and does not include support costs, which may require separate contracts or service-level agreements with third parties. For instance, the cost for one hundred users could be around one hundred thousand dollars annually, which is quite high.

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. When comparing the pricing model, it can sometimes feel like a black box with SAP Cloud. The customer's ability to decide and manage costs is somewhat unknown because there isn't a dashboard that displays usage and related information. Understanding the components, usage mix, and how to optimize service cost options can be challenging for customers without assistance from SAP. When SAP handles the pricing, they may not fully understand the customer's perspective, as their primary focus is on generating revenue.
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 prices are very similar from solution to solution. Microsoft Dynamics, however, is cheaper than SAP or Oracle. While SAP is expensive, it is a very good product.

Their enterprise management has standard pricing. This means whatever you use, the cost will be, almost more or less the same, however, there are other components where it depends on the volumes of your business. The licensing model for each application is different, not all of them follow the same model.

I don't have the details about pricing. It's been managed by a different contract team. We have only the user-based information, and the technical information. The cost part is managed by a different team. It's a subscription. You just subscribe to whatever services you want and you get certain credits upfront. For example, when you get a first-time account, and if you choose the SAP Cloud Platform, then SAP would be providing certain credits. That credit would be reduced based on your usage. At the end of the month, you will come to know how much credit is left for you, then you can just increase or start using
I'm not sure about the exact pricing because I do not really deal with pricing information directly. But it is my understanding and my experience that 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. If clients want quality, the pricing is always costly.

Licensing costs for this solution are based on the number of users and the bandwidth. SAP is more expensive than other solutions, but they have total prepackaged content for ERP. They have a vast module, and a good hold on the complete ERP. It's not cheaper, but I believe that it is the best in the market in terms of ERP.
SAP Cloud Platform is an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) and PaaS cloud tool. It powers applications that deliver real-time insights to contribute to more effective and timely decision-making.

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.
We're paying I believe $30,000 per year for the SAP Cloud Platform.
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.
Cost-wise, I'm unsure of how expensive the SAP Cloud Platform is.
I’m not sure how much the solution costs overall.
SAP offers yearly, subscription-based, and pay-as-you-use licensing.
I don’t have any details in regard to pricing.

We have a yearly license.
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 rates are client-specific because they are negotiated. The actual rates may be classified, even for me.
