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.

A scalable and stable solution that has good scalability and is easy to setup
It is a scalable solution. I have yet to have a scenario regarding automatic scale and if there's an increase in resource requirement or need. We have yet to have that scenario. We have yet to test that. The scalability was more than manually adjusting and increasing whatever I had to do. I rate it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the SAP Cloud Platform are the extensions and integrations. Additionally, there are a lot of AI-based microservices."
"Though I'm not a massive fan of the SAP Cloud Platform, it has good features, such as its integration with other SAP solutions. When integrating with SAP or even the SAP sister company SuccessFactors and other companies SAP has acquired, you also enjoy data features in the SAP Cloud Platform, such as role-based permissions and other characteristics you can import from SAP."
"The pre-delivered content from the SAP cloud platform is definitely a strength."
"The mobile access capability is very beneficial."
"My advice to anyone who is doing such a thing right now is not to listen to the old reputation of SAP in terms of complexity and difficulty in deployment."
"SAP Cloud Platform allows flexibility in integrating with other applications and supports customizations."
"The most valuable features of SAP Cloud Platform are security integration and scalability."
"The product is very stable."
"Jelastic is exactly what we expect from a PaaS vendor: easy-to-start, easy-to-manage, container based technology, support for vertical and horizontal auto-scaling, and all this without vendor lock-in."
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
"As a strategic solution, it's really good because it will avoid a lot of cost if you are building your data center, for example, or from scratch."
"The technical support is extremely helpful, and they have a very good support team."
"We almost don't have to maintain our servers."
 

Cons

"The solution's document management system on the cloud is a bit slow, and document uploading takes time."
"I'd like to see more local integration."
"The tool's reliability is a disappointment for us."
"When I started looking at the client's IT architecture, I started by doing a study of their services, DVM, data volume, and management services. According to the results, they could be a lot better at this."
"One crucial aspect where SAP lags behind in flexibility is customization to suit specific business requirements. SAP needs to understand that customization is inevitable and should be more supportive of business-driven customization."
"This product needs a lot of improvement and should be simplified."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"I can’t speak to features that may be missing."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"An S3 like storage system, if they have a s3 API compatible system I can move my files from AWS."
"I would like to see better integration into enterprise storage products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is worth the money."
"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."
"The cost when it comes to monitoring can be difficult."
"Licensing costs for this solution are based on the number of users and the bandwidth."
"SAP Cloud Platform is expensive. It can be quite costly."
"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."
"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."
"The tool could get too pricey...Small enterprises that want to leverage the tool's features will have difficulty in utilizing the solution."
"Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."
"I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees."
