We performed a comparison between Google Cloud and SAP Cloud Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The infrastructure is easy to manage."
"It is a stable solution."
"This is a solution that's so easy to expand when you need it to. It's the best I've ever seen. It's much better than Azure."
"I like that it is simple to use."
"It's available any time you need it."
"The stability is good with Google Cloud."
"The solution has improved our web apps so that we can have a canary deployment. GCP also helps us upload new features and changes to our software without impacting a lot of users with the network. The AI features have improved the software as well."
"The features I found most valuable are the cloud run and cloud function."
"The solution is scalable."
"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."
"To be able to define multiple sub accounts in order to accommodate and separate development, test, and productive environments."
"SAP Cloud Platform's most valuable features are its exhaustiveness, scalability with minimum maintenance, and functionality."
"The ability to build custom applications on the BTP platform, reducing customization on the SAP HANA system and improving performance and management."
"The product captures data in real time."
"SAP is an excellent company with an excellent reputation, excellent products, and dedicated customer support."
"The pre-delivered content from the SAP cloud platform is definitely a strength."
"We'd like the storage to be increased."
"The analytics that they have are very focused. It serves Google and not really the client."
"I consider Azure more secure than Google and Amazon because of all its certifications, but Google is secure enough and improving."
"The product could always be a little bit less expensive."
"Training in new advancements, technologies, or AI would help us understand how to best use the solution."
"I would like to see Google Cloud become more competitive when it comes to price."
"They could integrate artificial intelligence into the applications."
"Uploading documents could be simplified."
"The main problem is that there aren't any easy migrations from SAP PO to SAP CPI, so from process orchestration to cloud platform integration."
"I would like for it to have integration to GitHub."
"The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting."
"From what I understand, the SAP Cloud Platform is for implementation on AWS or Azure, and it's not meant to be a full-fledged cloud solution, so while using the platform, an area for improvement is that it has fewer offerings and is less flexible when compared to AWS. AWS has a lot more flexibility than the SAP Cloud Platform. I've also used Azure in college and AWS in between, and I prefer AWS over the SAP Cloud Platform. The only reason I would ever stick with the SAP Cloud Platform is to create applications integrated with SAP or with other companies within SAP, such as SuccessFactors. When you go into the SAP Cloud Platform web page, it's a bit bland and has relatively limited offerings. For example, there doesn't seem to be in-house MongoDB support, but I realize there's in-house support for the PostgreSQL database, so there are fewer offerings in the SAP Cloud Platform. Yes, you can always go for a database on the actual MongoDB server rather than depending on the offerings of the SAP Cloud Platform. However, it's still better to support MongoDB from the platform, so payment is consolidated, rather than going to a different location to make a payment. Another room for improvement in the SAP Cloud Platform is the need to create an SAP subaccount if you need to use the platform unless you have an SSO login by Google or if you're using a different identity provider such as Microsoft or Google. Instead of requiring dependency on SAP, it would be good if users could use the SAP Cloud Platform even without a subaccount on SAP. For example, when hosting an application on AWS or Azure, you don't have to create an account in Amazon or Microsoft. You can still do it using Google. You can use almost anything, so I'd like SAP to improve by removing the dependency, particularly the requirement to create an SAP account to use the SAP Cloud Platform."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
"What I would like to see improved is the learning curve."
"I want to see better pricing from the SAP Cloud Platform in the future. I also want more security and scalability from it."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements with the price and the licensing."
