We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure 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."The solution does a lot of coding and customization, and can go live quickly."
"The stability has been excellent."
"The most valuable features are the interface and customizability."
"It's a flexible solution."
"The solution is completely scalable."
"We find that it is easy to integrate with other Microsoft technologies such as Microsoft Office."
"Reduces work for our IT teams and saves us a lot of time."
"Microsoft Azure has thousands of services and products."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."
"The interface is easy to manage."
"Fiori is the most valuable feature, as well as the the integration between S/4 and another solution as an extension."
"We have a wide range of use cases for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud. These include production planning, materials management, sales management, treasury, finance, appliance maintenance, real estate, and warehouse management."
"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."
"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."
"It has significantly streamlined our operations."
"The solution could improve by having more security features around my data and the platform."
"The initial setup is quite complex because of the number of options that are available."
"Predictability and quality. Make sure things work predictable, as expected, and documented."
"The biggest area needing improvement involves the licensing cost."
"The cost management and billing section features could be improved."
"Microsoft Azure needs to be simplified to make it better understood for users."
"Auto ML could be improved technically."
"The process by which our customers can switch from one subscription to another should be simplified."
"The only thing that could be improved is the cost."
"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."
"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."
"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 stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."
"The product must provide more details of the errors."
