One of the best features of SAP Cloud Platform is that it is web-based and you can log in from anywhere in the world. SAP Cloud Platform is suitable for companies of any size; it works well with both large and small companies. Its stability is great and the ability to expand is very simple. SAP Cloud Platform offers smooth integration and data synchronization - the push and pull of data is extremely valuable.


The functionality with SAP Cloud Platform can be difficult. We have experienced some challenges with usability and not being able to get all of the information we need. We would also like to see improvement with security, authentication, and reporting.


Microsoft Azure is extremely scalable with the capability to build an environment quickly. The automation and agility of Microsoft Azure is very valuable. It offers a great information protection feature - you can create custom labels for different documents and files. This keeps data more organized and secure.


Support with Microsoft Azure depends on the plan you purchase; lower-tier plans get limited support. Microsoft Azure can be a very expensive solution overall and can be complex to set up and manage. Integration with other products needs to be better. Microsoft Azure seems to be a bit slow in catching up with what other solutions have to offer.


Conclusion


Microsoft Azure’s biggest downside is the lack of functionality. SAP Cloud Platform provides better integration with other operating systems.


If you or your clients are fully committed to the Microsoft ecosystem, then Microsoft Azure is probably the best option for you.


For those that use other ecosystems, SAP Cloud Platform would be a better fit as they offer better integration with other solutions and broader overall functionality.

Comparison of SAP Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure. Both platforms offer unique advantages, and the decision ultimately depends on business needs and priorities. As an SAP user, I appreciate the seamless integration and optimized performance of SAP solutions on Azure. The ability to scale resources on demand and utilize advanced security features is critical in today's fast-paced digital landscape. Overall, I believe that SAP solutions on Azure offer a competitive edge in terms of cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and innovation.

I think it's based on the context of your environment and what you want to do. The LinkedIn article by Murali Shanmugham gives you some perspective here.

If you use SAP applications extensively, extending them with various services offered by SAP on the SAP Cloud platform would be very useful. 


In fact, SAP has made this platform available on hyperscalers like MS Azure, AWS, etc.

Hello community, I am debating if to transition from SAP Business Objects to SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC). Is it worth moving to SAP PaaS - SAC or should we stay on Cloud Compute with BYOL? What would you suggest from your experience? Thank you for your help.

At one level both providers are about the same. The biggest difference is the billing and service models.If you have a business relationship with Microsoft for other products and services then bundling in Azure could be a win. It may reduce some costs but at the very least you have 1 fewer service providers to deal with.I tend to like AWS but that is just because I am familiar with their services. One thing to keep track of is the costs. I have one client who really wants to move to AWS but cannot find a way to get over the 8-10 times increase in monthly costs over operating out of a shared data center with purchased equipment.
