The product is user-friendly and performs well, but it is very costly compared to other tools
We are a software development company. We recommend solutions to our clients, but they ask us to compare it with other solutions. Clients compare the monthly costs of Pantheon with other servers and ask us to create the same environment in dedicated servers. If Pantheon reduces its cost, we can confidently suggest it to clients. Overall, I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

Consistently beneficial with excellent accessibility although support's response time needs improvement
The features and functions of the SAP Cloud Platform are very good; the performance is improved when compared with the older versions. Earlier, we were using Oracle DB, and after HANA DB migration, it is fine. We are getting the reports, and processing time is also reduced. Almost all the features of the SAP Cloud Platform are fine and good. SAP Fiori has also entered into the picture, and we are developing the Fiori apps. We have started with the BTP for the new innovations as per the SAP roadmap. The main benefits of the SAP Cloud Platform for us are that earlier we had the primary data center at our place, but now we have shifted to the cloud. The maintenance is free for us; the maintenance is completely done by this SAP partnership with Cloud4C. We have started using the SAP Analytics Cloud, and we have developed many applications for SAP SAC. We are going to give the presentation to our chairman most probably next week. The analytics features positively influence decision-making for us. The SAP Cloud Platform has been effective for us because the processing time is reduced, and we can access it easily.

"The solution is scalable."
"SAP has provided very good support."
"SAP Cloud Platform's performance is much faster than the on-premises solution because of continuous fine-tuning by their team."
 

Cons

"Pantheon has the most valuable workflow model."
"The Multidev environment is very costly compared to other tools like AWS and GCP."
"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 product needs improvement for serverless native integrations. They should opt for serverless features as all the customers worldwide choose cloud-based products."
"They are still developing this product. It does not really have 100% of the necessary features available to properly service business clients"
"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."
"Regarding cost, if you consider the SAP Cloud Platform, it is a little bit on the higher side. Whatever we want to purchase, it is in lakhs of rupees or crores only."
"What I would like to see improved is the learning curve."
"The tool's UI is not very intuitive for cloud integration, so it needs research to understand its options and how it may work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform has reasonable pricing compared to other systems."
"The solution is worth the money."
"SAP Cloud Platform Integration is an expensive product. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"SAP offers yearly, subscription-based, and pay-as-you-use licensing."
"The product's pricing varies and depends on the customers' needs."
"The pricing can be negotiated."
"Cost-wise, I'm unsure of how expensive the SAP Cloud Platform is."
"SAP Cloud Platform is generally more expensive than the other options."
"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."
