We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."AWS is known for its scalable cloud hosting and computing services. We use various features depending on our needs, including endpoint services, database instances, and EC2 instances."
"As a service vendor, we have helped clients to achieve faster "go to market" on their products, and have provided highly flexible cost-effective system management solutions."
"The ecosystem offered by the product has almost everything."
"Very good automation and very stable."
"They release new solutions almost every quarter and you don't get that kind of innovation from an enterprise company."
"The features that I have found most valuable are their compute and their Relational Database Service."
"It has several valuable features, but the load balancer, auto-scaling, and RDS database are the main ones. It is a complete cloud infrastructure solution."
"The most important feature is deploying our production in multi-data regions around the world."
"The interface is easy to manage."
"The scalability is good because we have some cloud resources to support the ERP."
"What I like the most is that we can convert databases into a proper multi-dimensional model, and then we can project with the integration with Power BI."
"Ensuring data integrity across finance, supply chain, and other critical areas is paramount for real-time decision-making. Access to accurate and up-to-date information is essential for data protection. While the digital solution primarily serves basic maintenance, the ability to handle these core aspects efficiently is invaluable for your needs."
"The most valuable feature is virtual modeling, which is beneficial because you don't really save the data multiple times the way we did in the past."
"Traditionally, SAP worked with Oracle databases, but SAP is getting rid of the other databases and promoting its own. SAP will stop support for other databases around 2026, so everyone is moving to SAP S/4HANA for the performance and because it's the preferred database for SAP. S/4HANA has new features from the front-end or application feature perspective. The idea is to move toward future-ready technology."
"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."
"The BTP module is important for digital transformations."
"As a result of the competency, I believe that most people are now leaning toward Azure rather than AWS."
"There are numerous use cases, and the setup varies from complicated to very simple in some cases."
"The solution can get to be a little expensive."
"We would appreciate it if the product was cheaper."
"An integrated platform would make it easier for administrators to monitor and manage."
"It just needs to be improved from the security perspective."
"It's a good cloud, however, if I compare it with Azure, Azure is more of a feature-rich cloud."
"Amazon needs to develop better tools for troubleshooting network traffic, application insights, performance, and even some aspects of integration mapping. I'm hoping AWS implements something like Azure's Network Watcher and a log analytics solution where a can pull logs from various services and present them in a single dashboard. I want to summarize the performance and usage of every service and application."
"They should probably offer more cloud services. Most of the cloud infrastructure providers we have make everything pretty transparent, you know what you're getting, you have all these metrics and measurements and everything in the dashboard. Here you have to go through the contracting negotiations and all those things."
"Customization is an area of concern in SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, where improvements are required."
"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."
"It’s a common challenge with applications like Microsoft and SAP that they tend to rely on engineers rather than human resources personnel for knowledge and implementation."
"The main thing is that SAP needs to give better response times for support tickets."
"It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance."
"The customer has a lot of dependencies on SAP which means they don't have much flexibility to go and update the system when or if they need to. They will need to wait for the quarterly updates. It's possible to maybe raise a special request with SAP if it is absolutely necessary."
"The product must provide more details of the errors."
