SAP Technical Manager at VS Furniture Middle East
Cloud access has improved reporting and sales operations across global locations
I cannot say anything about what areas of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud could be improved or enhanced because so far, we are happy with this implementation. We are not facing any problem, or I cannot say that this can be improved. Although SAP keeps improving themselves day by day, we cannot say that SAP needs to improve anything. One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day. Before, it was not too much higher, but I don't know why they are increasing their price. They should see this thing, so other customers, such as SMBs customers or small and mid-sized customers, can also avail this thing. Otherwise, we don't have any problem. First, there is the limitation. If you are a SAP user, you don't feel any problem with the limitation because if you know how to use the product, you can easily implement this thing. Otherwise, if you don't know the business process or how to integrate and implement, it could be a problem. We have a limitation, but we developed some add-ons for this. So we fulfilled these requirements.

Improves efficiencies, has encryption, and great mission-critical customer support
Previously we had an amateur solution where we were managing on our own data center but we had the management in-house. It was a strategic move to give people who were more competent and with business focus other core initiatives. It was a strategic outsource model. The equipment we were using was out date and at the end of its life cycle, we had to make some transitions, do a hardware replacement, or move on. We moved on to this solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I am impressed with how the solution integrates with the ME system and ALE IDocs."
"One of the features that I've found most useful is that it's very simple; they take care of the technical aspects of the data, installations, patches and all those things, and I don't need to set up my data center."
"While on-prem takes a long time, this solution is ten times faster."
"If a customer is looking for the latest innovations or products from SAP this solution is perfect for them."
"What I like the most is that we can convert databases into a proper multi-dimensional model, and then we can project with the integration with Power BI."
"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."
"The interface is easy to manage."
"The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable."
"The solution has encryption which we did not have before."
"Once we made the move to this solution, we received efficiencies, 100%, 200%, even up to 1000%, depending on some processes."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to embed or integrate with IBP to fully activate the PPT module with efficiency."
"The product must provide more details of the errors."
"The customer has a lot of dependencies on SAP which means they don't have much flexibility to go and update the system when or if they need to. They will need to wait for the quarterly updates. It's possible to maybe raise a special request with SAP if it is absolutely necessary."
"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."
"One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day."
"This product is not mature enough at this point in time."
"Our data centers are in Europe and come under GDPR regulations, and this doesn't apply to the Middle East yet. It causes a lot of confusion."
"The main thing is that SAP needs to give better response times for support tickets."
"Our account representative was inexperienced, they could improve on how they are managing accounts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
"If you choose the minimum, it will probably cost around $1,000 USD per month if you take a contract for a year or two."
"I rate the product's price a five out of ten."
"SAP may not be the most cost-effective option, but it does offer a comprehensive set of tools and features. When you have the right information, structure, and dashboard in place, it can provide excellent value. Additionally, competition with Oracle might be a factor to consider."
"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"The solution could be less expensive."
"The product itself is relatively expensive."
"The solution is a bit expensive, we are still negotiating the price."
