"The availability is good, you can get any service you need immediately."
"IaaS with easy management and rapid implementation using Python Django Mezzanine."
"The solution also helps organizations to move applications to a containerized platform."
"The most valuable feature is the backup ability. Most people are used to one type of backup solution that they're using, but most of these solutions have features that make it difficult to transfer to the cloud. I know that Veeam now gives people the opportunity to backup some on-premises solutions to the cloud. This feature is something that a lot of people are looking for."
"This solution is stable and reliable."
"It is quite easy to provision new virtual services for our use. The procedures are quite straightforward and simple as compared to other competitors, such as Microsoft or Huawei. This is what we are happy about with Amazon AWS. It is pretty mature in terms of the availability of most of the infrastructure components. If you want to deploy a server on your platform, everything is already there in terms of the operating system, network components, securities, and data encryption. It is also quite scalable and stable."
"Cloud Management has been a valuable feature."
"It has many choices of computer options, storage options, and even database options."
"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features I have found is that the solution is secure."
"The solution is very useful and interactive with a dashboard for viewing other interfaces."
"One of the best features of this solution is that it is web-based and you can log in and work on it from anywhere."
"The maintenance part can be outsourced easily."
"Improved our speed to bring our mobile applications into productive use in a cost-effective way."
"The interface is relatively complex."
"I also use Google Cloud GCP and AWS cannot directly use the Azure EC2 consult. They could add that feature. Direct connection to the EC2 console server would be very useful."
"One area that could be improved is in data management. They could improve on the data side. For example, I see others with better cloud services and larger data computing capabilities."
"In some areas, more transparency on what is persistent towards novice users."
"There is a bit of a learning curve. That said, it's likely no different than learning any other cloud."
"The customization could be improved."
"The price needs improvement."
"Our API Management solution is integrated with Lambda, and last year, we had an issue while upgrading Lambda from version 8.0 to version 10. It seemed like Lambda runtime was changed by AWS, and there was a bug that caused the downtime. The loading of the dashboard is slow. It could be because I am located in China."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
"While it was good for a small entity, it was not ideal for a large enterprise."
"One crucial aspect where SAP lags behind in flexibility is customization to suit specific business requirements. SAP needs to understand that customization is inevitable and should be more supportive of business-driven customization."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"I can’t speak to features that may be missing."
"Planning features are limited to the finance module."
"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."
"The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting."
