We performed a comparison between Google Compute Engine and SAP Cloud Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The initial setup is reasonably straightforward. It's a handful of networks and a handful of computers."
"The support for ephemeral instances has been particularly valuable for me. It allows me to significantly reduce costs for temporary virtual machines by automatically destroying them once they are no longer needed, which can result in cost savings of up to 90 percent. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"Everything is simple and useful. The initial setup is not challenging."
"It's the most engineer-friendly product compared to Amazon AWS or Azure."
"The most valuable feature is auto-scaling."
"The main motive for choosing Google Compute Engine is pricing."
"One of GCE's best features is the managed instance groups."
"The solution is readily available, and software engineers can provision it. It is scalable and allows self-service."
"SAP Cloud Platform's most valuable features are its exhaustiveness, scalability with minimum maintenance, and functionality."
"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."
"The product improved our company's business operations since we got value out of it."
"It is a stable solution, as I never encountered issues when using it."
"The entire SAP ecosystem is a valuable feature. It provides access to SAP S/4HANA, ACG systems, and their Fiori launchpad, making it easy to navigate between them. This makes the enterprise very accessible."
"The solution is very useful and interactive with a dashboard for viewing other interfaces."
"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."
"The most valuable features of SAP Cloud Platform are security integration and scalability."
"It would be better if there was an option to change the background. Like in Gmail, there's an option to change your theme."
"I rate the product's stability around five to six out of ten."
"Google Compute Engine needs to have multi-region support. It would also be nice to have a tracking mechanism."
"Google Compute Engine does not have many options at a lower tier level. If they had more options it will be better. For example, Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure, have more options and different types of instances, of VMs we can select."
"The licensing process is not a very straightforward process."
"There have been instances when a customer has tried to deploy a certain number of VMs inside a project, and they come across quota issues."
"The biggest problem is that it's got a very archaean and complex security environment that has to be very carefully set up and is easy to break."
"It has some limitations. For example, you don't get through layer two connectivity. So I've had some difficulty deploying custom VMs. For example, you can't deploy a KVM file to file directly on GCP."
"I've observed a few bugs in SAP. One recent bug I found in Content Modifier is that when using a predefined header to call the current date, it prints the previous date. These are small bugs I found."
"In person, when the development happens, we were told that it's flexible and customizable. However, sometimes, it's challenging to customize."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"When they innovate too fast, they end up confusing their customers."
"I can’t speak to features that may be missing."
"I want to see better pricing from the SAP Cloud Platform in the future. I also want more security and scalability from it."
"The product could be improved for consistent user interfaces."
"I'd like to see more local integration."
