"I like S3, load balancers, and Route 53."
"The product is reliable and quite stable."
"It improves the speed for us to access vendors."
"AWS has a lot of flexibility, which is great."
"I am impressed with the solution's EC2 EKS."
"Provisioning and resource administration include billing dashboards, which are very extensive."
"I like that it helps us do everything really fast, and its advanced services."
"It's quite stable and scalable. The price is good as well."
"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."
"The solution is very useful and interactive with a dashboard for viewing other interfaces."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the data synchronization, or the push and pull of the data."
"One of the most valuable features I have found is that the solution is secure."
"It’s great that we have the entire suite of SAP at our fingertips."
"The product is very stable."
"The ability to build custom applications on the BTP platform, reducing customization on the SAP HANA system and improving performance and management."
"They have a low code platform, but it is for intervention."
"Pricing is the one feature everyone wants AWS to improve."
"While feasible, custom configuration will be more time consuming than standard."
"I would like to see CloudFormation made more in the programming way of thinking."
"The sorting model in AWS is a little bit complicated. When you are going through any component, you can get some surprising results."
"Their support can be improved. In some cases, their support is not as proficient as it can be. They should be quicker at getting back."
"Amazon AWS is a very poor product for students. Microsoft Azure is a better solution."
"Amazon still has room for improvement in terms of being more mature on the monitoring side and in terms of the native capabilities. Amazon should get their services portfolio stronger on OEM-based workloads such as Microsoft and Oracle. There are a lot of areas that still do not have offerings, so there is room to grow. I would be happy if they bring more maturity to the monitoring capabilities and SaaS offerings. They are strong on Infrastructure as a Service, but they are not mature on SaaS."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"I feel that SAP provides the tools, but after that, you are left on your own. It would be better if they provided more support throughout the usage of their solutions."
"I want to see better pricing from the SAP Cloud Platform in the future. I also want more security and scalability from it."
"In person, when the development happens, we were told that it's flexible and customizable. However, sometimes, it's challenging to customize."
"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."
"I would like to see more and better support for data transformations."
"When I started looking at the client's IT architecture, I started by doing a study of their services, DVM, data volume, and management services. According to the results, they could be a lot better at this."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
