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."The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure is its ease of use."
"The robust encryption services increase the confidence of tech users."
"The best feature is it's easy to integrate with other Microsoft solutions."
"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable aspect of Azure is the flexibility you have for all the services and solutions it offers, even if you use IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS, you have the option to only pay for the services you use."
"The cycle development time is pretty fast, and there's very good coupling within the whole set of Microsoft tools, from database to the ETL engine, ingestion through Azure Data Factory, then modeling Synapse Analytics, and reporting through Power BI."
"The solution has high stability."
"The solution does a lot of coding and customization, and can go live quickly."
"There's a minimum amount of downtime when using the solution. This platform is very effective."
"The processes and the way we take advantage and use assistance are good."
"It has significantly streamlined our operations."
"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."
"The BTP module is important for digital transformations."
"What I like the most is that we can convert databases into a proper multi-dimensional model, and then we can project with the integration with Power BI."
"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."
"I am impressed with how the solution integrates with the ME system and ALE IDocs."
"I would prefer Microsoft Azure to increase the free trial, then developers can take advantage, and it could increase their sales."
"Microsoft Azure needs to improve its user interface. New developers and teams have difficulty understanding its lifecycle."
"They're already doing quite a bit. I'm not unsatisfied with anything that they're doing right now. They can maybe make the transitions a little smoother and improve its pricing. The pricing for the end-user packages is a bit high."
"I would like to see all of the cloud providers be more compatible with each other."
"I would like to see the console improved."
"The solution’s learning curve could be improved."
"Microsoft should have one package for all their solutions in one place to be found."
"Monitoring options should be more sophisticated, as there are dashboards on which a end user is able to pin a lot of charts and a number of web parts, but for example, I would love to have some option like in Operational Management Suite."
"I would rate the stability a four out of ten. It's an area that could use improvement"
"The solution needs to embed or integrate with IBP to fully activate the PPT module with efficiency."
"It’s a common challenge with applications like Microsoft and SAP that they tend to rely on engineers rather than human resources personnel for knowledge and implementation."
"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."
"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."
"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."
"They should probably offer more cloud services. Most of the cloud infrastructure providers we have make everything pretty transparent, you know what you're getting, you have all these metrics and measurements and everything in the dashboard. Here you have to go through the contracting negotiations and all those things."
"It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance."
