We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and SAP S4HANA on AWS 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 product is easy to use."
"The availability is good, you can get any service you need immediately."
"It is highly available and on-demand. So, you can scale up and scale down whenever required."
"One of the most valuable things about it, besides the stability, is that you can forget about infrastructure because you're just doing it on AWS. I remember the times before AWS and other cloud solutions existed, and it was a huge pain to get real hardware, put it inside, configure everything, report everything, and do a scale. It was very, very difficult compared to how it is now. Not even just AWS, but what all these cloud providers are doing, I would say, is a huge advancement in technology."
"The solution can scale quite well."
"They provide cutting-edge features compared to other cloud vendors."
"It's a flexible solution."
"We use AWS for multiple purposes, such as developing APIs and API integration using API Gateway. We use API Gateway, Python Combinator, Lambda Glue, and ETL Process. We have used EMR for big data processing. If we need a tool for computing, we go with the Lamda DMS. There are many services available in AWS that meet our needs."
"After the implementation phase of the product, it becomes a very stable tool."
"The most valuable feature of SAP S4HANA on AWS is the latency and speed. When we use the various typical relation database, the performance was visible."
"SAP S4HANA on AWS has high performance. All the data is in one place and it's real-time. When you make an entry you don't have to wait a couple of minutes, hours, or overnight as something the batch process takes time. It is instantaneous and is available to everybody."
"The tool's installation is easy. I rate it an eight out of ten."
"The internal integration within departments and integration with third parties is simplified in the system."
"I would rate this solution as a nine out of ten because it covers all the fields, has a big maturity, and has something other solutions are missing, which is speed."
"The Fiori interface is the most valuable feature. It's one of the highlights that they offer. The in-memory of S4 is very fast."
"The most valuable feature of SAP S4HANA on AWS is that when developed on a new structured system it can be configured."
"The features that should be improved are that there should be better clarity on their invoicing. There are so many things they charge for - high line items in the invoice. I think there should be more clarity and more ease of use with their billing. I'd like to see better ease of use of with the billing console and a clear dashboard to understand the usage."
"The solution can get to be a little expensive."
"They do not yet have a complete solution for APM monitoring. But this, along with real user monitoring, is something that they are actively working on improving."
"Its interface could be better because there are so many services right now in the product that it is quite difficult to navigate around in this. Its interface could be a subject of improvement."
"In a future release, I would like to see more support for AI because it is the future."
"Some extensions are better than others."
"We would like the system documentation for configuring this solution to be improved, in order to provide better process clarity."
"Could be more user friendly and include additional applications."
"The tool should undergo an overall improvement, including support. Data sharing should also be faster."
"The product could use more capabilities in the areas of robotics, machine learning and artificial intelligence, but these improvements are already on the way."
"Not just S4 but for SAP in general, the price is a little high because they have implemented a new licensing scheme on a number of connections. The price being too expensive is some of the feedback we get from our customers."
"The manufacturing application system, it's not as user-friendly in S4HANA."
"If you go to AWS's site they offer training programs that are very good. SAP does not do the same, if SAP could provide some training that would be great."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a three out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy."
"More availability zones will help customers choose AWS. I would like to see features that provide easier onboarding for ERP solutions like SAP. SAP has already partnered with S/4HANA on AWS for hosting its public cloud as well. More educational videos for customers to choose this cloud path would be great to have. That is, providing more documentation and marketing material would be better."
"I would like scalability to be improved in the future for faster performance."
