It provides access to private and public clouds. I would like to be able to select the best private cloud.
I would like to be able to select the best private cloud to use in terms of service and cost. If I need to put an application on the cloud, I would like to know which provider to use. I would like to know the best option for this application.
Frederic Hautecoeur - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior System Integrations Architect at bs-team
Event-based data exchange has improved integrations but analytics and support remain weak
SAP Cloud Platform is a strong part of their offering. They are very poor in the analytics area. You do not have much available. If you want to have analytics, you have to do everything yourself. Everything is very expensive, so it is not helping with the infrastructure costs. There is a lot of latency and glitches. The support is very difficult and not really helpful. The fact is you are completely losing control of the infrastructure. If something bad happens, there is nothing you can really do. You have to ask the support and the support will answer when they want or when they can.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's improved the delivery of services to our clients, and I believe my clients get new business and better performance."
"We have many more services, including self-service, and we don't have to call IT and wait for weeks or months for service, which is the biggest benefit for our business."
"HPE Helion provides access to world-class personnel and skill sets, and their ability to perform repeatedly at a high standard provides a positive experience."
"The most valuable feature is our access to private and public clouds."
"Helion Being backed by a vendor (HPE) rather than vanilla openstack gives us a little more confidence that the product is now at a level of maturity where we are happy to start consuming open technologies."
"It's very easily implemented, especially with the Grow Platform."
"It has improved our speed to bring our mobile applications into productive use in a cost-effective way."
"The features I found most valuable are the integration options."
"The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward."
"The tool's most valuable aspects are the niche technologies and the latest editions. The way these updates are rolled out makes it easy to manage because clients and customers are not responsible for keeping everything up to date. It's SAP's responsibility, which makes it much easier to take advantage of the new features they roll out every month."
"I rate the solution's scalability an eight out of ten. My company has 800 users."
"The entire SAP ecosystem is a valuable feature. It provides access to SAP S/4HANA, ACG systems, and their Fiori launchpad, making it easy to navigate between them. This makes the enterprise very accessible."
"Great Integration Suite, with CPI being its stable component."
 

Cons

"I would like to be able to select the best private cloud to use in terms of service and cost."
"With a lot of the services we use, we need a single dashboard that could do more."
"If they could reduce the cost, that would be good as there is much competition, and many companies and organizations are looking to reduce costs."
"Some improvements I think are needed are greater stability and more up to date packages."
"We need improvements for more hybrid use. Right now, the system is very focused on pay-as-you-go cloud services, and our customers are looking for more a hybrid use."
"SAP Cloud Platform should improve on integrating third-party applications with S/4HANA."
"Reporting is confusing. There are three or four areas. One is the 4HANA SAP, then BPC reporting."
"The product's support team has certain shortcomings, not from the solution's portal perspective but from the back-end side."
"SAP's technical support sometimes takes longer to respond."
"I've observed a few bugs in SAP. One recent bug I found in Content Modifier is that when using a predefined header to call the current date, it prints the previous date. These are small bugs I found."
"The pricing is too high across all SAP products relative to resource utilization."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
"Allowing more third-party applications to be integrated into the cloud platform would make it easier for customers to adopt SAP Cloud Platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"SAP Cloud Platform Integration is an expensive product. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The price of the solution depends on the package that is purchased. There are many packages to choose from. The packages are not overly expensive."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the pricing a six or seven."
"SAP's pricing is usually high compared to the competition. But this is also justified because they hold their products and services to quite high standards."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"Cost-wise, I'm unsure of how expensive the SAP Cloud Platform is."
"I discovered that the SAP Cloud Platform is affordable, contrary to the impression that it's expensive. The pricing for extra packages or messages is quite reasonable, especially for things like message throughput and processing."
"SAP Cloud Platform is generally more expensive than the other options."
