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."Storage has made remote access to files much more painless and easy."
"With Microsoft Azure, we have a platform that lets us easily deploy applications to the cloud."
"The Azure Portal has an advantage in terms of UX making buying resources or downgrading is really easier to understand. AWS has micro, smaller functionalities whereas Azure has more end-to-end focus which makes it easier saving you time and money."
"The most valuable feature is the instant availability of resources."
"The product has been very stable for us so far."
"Everything is very good by way of performance."
"I come from the DBA side so for me it's the easy maintenance; backups are very easy as well."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its ease of use."
"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."
"Ensuring data integrity across finance, supply chain, and other critical areas is paramount for real-time decision-making. Access to accurate and up-to-date information is essential for data protection. While the digital solution primarily serves basic maintenance, the ability to handle these core aspects efficiently is invaluable for your needs."
"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."
"This solution is as good as any other S/4HANA SAP solution. The continuous support we get is very valuable."
"The BTP module is important for digital transformations."
"The scalability is good because we have some cloud resources to support the ERP."
"The solution is stable and we have never had a problem. We started with one terabyte of data when the solution was first implemented and today we have around almost 600 gigabytes of data, which means means the compression works properly. Before migrating from ECC, we had nine terabytes of data."
"My company has not had any problems with the product's initial setup phase."
"Establishing the account in the beginning was very difficult."
"Because it has a lot of features, a person just coming into Microsoft Azure might feel that it is a bit complex."
"The quality of some components of Microsoft Azure is not that great. For example, Microsoft has not fixed issues in Microsoft Teams for many years. There are well-known issues that are submitted by customers two years ago and they still are not fixed."
"They can add more documentation about the solution."
"The initial setup is quite complex because of the number of options that are available."
"The market place can be raised, and the CMT can be more sophisticated to create more opportunities for the end users."
"I would like to see more databases on the cloud, what they call today Big Data should be there."
"The installation process is complex."
"Our data centers are in Europe and come under GDPR regulations, and this doesn't apply to the Middle East yet. It causes a lot of confusion."
"The customer has a lot of dependencies on SAP which means they don't have much flexibility to go and update the system when or if they need to. They will need to wait for the quarterly updates. It's possible to maybe raise a special request with SAP if it is absolutely necessary."
"Perhaps minor changes to the enterprise structure could be made, but the rest is fine."
"The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."
"It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance."
"The solution needs to embed or integrate with IBP to fully activate the PPT module with efficiency."
"The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data."
"The only thing that could be improved is the cost."
