Industry-leading, easy to implement, and has good mapping specification guidelines

The good thing about OpenText is that we have the mapping specification guideline available, which is not there in a solution like SEEBURGER. Whenever you want to take a decision to move away from OpenText, you have already documented your mapping and what your mapping looks like. So you go to the next provider, provide them with that mapping specification, and it'll be very easy for them to develop a new map instead of just taking the data - input data, output data - and then looking for how the data is getting transformed. So you have the mapping spec level which is a very good feature of OpenText, which we do not have in SEEBURGER. It's very hard to move from SEEBURGER. The solution is easy to implement. It's stable and reliable. They are the industry leaders in the integration space.

The implementation cycle has been reduced significantly but has room for integration enhancements

Our existing customers who are on ECC are on-premises. They are migrating to SAP Cloud Platform, specifically on S4HANA. One of our clients was on SAP ECC on-premises, and they are moving to the cloud on S4HANA on the public cloud system. We are supporting about 15 customers, mostly small to…

"To be able to define multiple sub accounts in order to accommodate and separate development, test, and productive environments."

"The HANA replications are very useful."

"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."

More SAP Cloud Platform pros

Cons

"Technical support needs to be better."

"While it was good for a small entity, it was not ideal for a large enterprise."

"From what I understand, the SAP Cloud Platform is for implementation on AWS or Azure, and it's not meant to be a full-fledged cloud solution, so while using the platform, an area for improvement is that it has fewer offerings and is less flexible when compared to AWS. AWS has a lot more flexibility than the SAP Cloud Platform. I've also used Azure in college and AWS in between, and I prefer AWS over the SAP Cloud Platform. The only reason I would ever stick with the SAP Cloud Platform is to create applications integrated with SAP or with other companies within SAP, such as SuccessFactors. When you go into the SAP Cloud Platform web page, it's a bit bland and has relatively limited offerings. For example, there doesn't seem to be in-house MongoDB support, but I realize there's in-house support for the PostgreSQL database, so there are fewer offerings in the SAP Cloud Platform. Yes, you can always go for a database on the actual MongoDB server rather than depending on the offerings of the SAP Cloud Platform. However, it's still better to support MongoDB from the platform, so payment is consolidated, rather than going to a different location to make a payment. Another room for improvement in the SAP Cloud Platform is the need to create an SAP subaccount if you need to use the platform unless you have an SSO login by Google or if you're using a different identity provider such as Microsoft or Google. Instead of requiring dependency on SAP, it would be good if users could use the SAP Cloud Platform even without a subaccount on SAP. For example, when hosting an application on AWS or Azure, you don't have to create an account in Amazon or Microsoft. You can still do it using Google. You can use almost anything, so I'd like SAP to improve by removing the dependency, particularly the requirement to create an SAP account to use the SAP Cloud Platform."

"The solution's document management system on the cloud is a bit slow, and document uploading takes time."

"The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting."

"Better connectivity to on-premise systems would help us to support older systems that are migrating to the cloud."

"The tool's reliability is a disappointment for us."

"In person, when the development happens, we were told that it's flexible and customizable. However, sometimes, it's challenging to customize."

"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
