PinakiGhosh - PeerSpot reviewer
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…
Miguel Maloney Thompson - PeerSpot reviewer
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 SAP Cloud Platform has been effective for us because the processing time is reduced, and we can access it easily."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"The most valuable feature is the data synchronization, or the push and pull of the data."
"The maintenance part can be outsourced easily."
"The most valuable features of SAP Cloud Platform are security integration and scalability."
"SAP Cloud Platform's most valuable features are its exhaustiveness, scalability with minimum maintenance, and functionality."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features I have found is that the solution is secure."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"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."
"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
 

Cons

"The product needs improvement for serverless native integrations. They should opt for serverless features as all the customers worldwide choose cloud-based products."
"The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting."
"I would like to see more and better support for data transformations."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements with the price and the licensing."
"In person, when the development happens, we were told that it's flexible and customizable. However, sometimes, it's challenging to customize."
"I'd like to see more local integration."
"SAP is expensive."
"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."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"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."
"Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SAP offers yearly, subscription-based, and pay-as-you-use licensing."
"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."
"Cost-wise, I'm unsure of how expensive the SAP Cloud Platform is."
"SAP provides good discounts."
"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."
"Licensing costs for this solution are based on the number of users and the bandwidth."
"The solution is worth the money."
"SAP Cloud Platform costs $2 to $5 per hour, while I found other platforms way more affordable. You have to pay per use, though that's fine because that means the cost is flexible."
"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."
