SAP Cloud Platform Reviews

The use case of this product varies according to the customer's needs, but we generally implement it when a customer is looking for a complete SaaS-based model without the need for infrastructure. It saves them from having to take care of any facilities including a data center, redundancy layers, and administration. We are resellers and I'm a service architect. 

The dashboard gives pretty good clarity of what's happening and what needs to be done.

SAP offers very little flexibility in its licensing structure. That said, most of our customers are okay with the price points and we have closed about 50 mid-sized customers with SAP Cloud Platform.

The solution is stable. 

This is an SaaS based model, so scalability is fine. 

The initial setup is straightforward. In terms of maintenance, we operate on a model of shared services so there is no set number of people involved. It changes depending on the need. 

Licensing costs are reasonable and based on the space you're purchasing. There is an annual license fee. 

There are several companies with products in this area and each one has its own unique structure and features, so it's difficult to compare them. It's a matter of choosing the one best suited to your needs.

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

The primary use case of this solution is basically for reporting and analysis. We publish our internal data for our clients and also for our management team.

The most valuable feature is integration. The integration with multiple other tools and our data allows us to perform analytics and our reporting requirements.

One thing that can be improved is the way the license is set up. If it could be defined by specific types of users then it would be better. For example, if it could be divided into three different sections, one for management who don't require the analytic work, it could be more for viewing. Another could be for the design department, which would require more specific tools, and finally, developers for the architecture. Different types of licenses would be very good. 

In the next release, I would like to see improvements with the price and the licensing. We are struggling with our vendors to find out who did the tool implementation.

I have been using this solution for eight months.

The solution is stable. We have experienced some issues but that was a problem with our internet, causing the server to go down, and it had nothing to do with the product.

We have no issues with the scalability of this solution.

We have 100 users.

I would rate my experience with technical support a four out of five.

The initial setup was not easy, nor would I say that it was difficult to execute. 

I have yet to explore all of the features.

I would suggest completing a POC before purchasing this solution, or any other solution. Then, going ahead with it once the requirements have been satisfied.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I run all of my servers on SAP at the moment. We have our development, our quality, and also our production sites on it.

We actually upgraded this solution in December 2020, so we're using the most current version. We're looking forward to incorporating SAP analytics within our company.

The ability to expand it whenever required has been great — it's very simple. The performance is good as well. We haven't experienced any issues yet. 

I have been using SAP Cloud Platform for four years. 

The cost when it comes to monitoring can be difficult. We have to be very, very careful and aware of any changes so the price won't go up too much.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight. 

We primarily use the solution for mobility purposes.

The cloud is the most valuable aspect of the solution. It's the future of IT. 

SAP has provided very good support.

The solution is very scalable.

We need to connect our ERP solution via the VPN. We need to make sure our ERP solutions aren't exposed to the outside world. Our teams really struggle with this.

We've been using the solution for a year. We're a leading subscriber of it.

We haven't had any issues so far in relation to stability. However, we're still working to deploy the solution.

I'm not sure how scalable the solution is. We're not yet fully deployed, so we haven't yet devised a scaling strategy that our application hardware will work on.

We've been in contact with technical support. We find them very good. We use their ticketing mechanism which is quite effective. They provide good response times.

The initial setup is complex. Right now, SAP does offer the best kind of solution on the market. 

There is some sort of SMS needed to authorize the code. However, the VPN connectivity isn't there because some of the solution is on the public cloud.

I'm not quite sure how long deployment takes. It depends on the environment and the requirements of the business. It's different from deployment to deployment. However, we're not fully deployed just yet.

Our data center is on SAP's cloud platform. SAP is our cloud.

I'd recommend the solution. The future is in cloud platforms. Other companies should start using it if they aren't already.

The enterprise portal's end of life is 2024. However, the solution's extending into HANA Cloud Technology.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Our primary use is for the cloud platform identity authentication, whereas this serves as a proxy between Azure AD and our SAP cloud applications.

It has improved our speed to bring our mobile applications into productive use in a cost-effective way. The deployment of the Fiori Cloud Edition eliminated the use of an on-premise infrastructure, for example, to provide an SAP Gateway installation.

To be able to define multiple sub accounts in order to accommodate and separate development, test, and productive environments.

The product could be improved for consistent user interfaces. Although it is one platform, the user interface logic (e.g., where buttons are defined on the screen) differs from service to service.

We use hybrid-cloud, on-prem, and cloud models of this solution. The primary use case of this solution is for our customer's. We integrate it for them. 

The integration flows are the most valuable feature of this solution. 

The source controller needs improvement. There are some disadvantages to it. Versioning also needs improvement. 

I would like for it to have integration to GitHub. 

It is stable. We haven't had any big issues. 

It is scalable. The number of staff members we will need for a deployment will vary on the project. We need one for a smaller project. 

We have never needed to contact their technical support. 

The initial setup is straightforward. The time it takes to deploy will depend on the requirements. It takes around a couple of days. 

My advice to someone considering this solution would be to check the standard capabilities and leverage existing standard features. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten. Not a ten because it is missing features.
