Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's straightforward, has a good environment and is cost-effective."
"One of the features that I really like about IBM Cloud is the flexibility where you can order your own hardware."
"I've found the stability to be excellent. The performance is good."
"What I like most in IBM Public Cloud is how easy it is to create serverless functions. They are called IBM functions, but in AWS, they are called Lambda functions. Those are pretty standard, and another thing I like the most is that you have fewer restrictions on the amount of data you can transfer across those functions. IBM Public Cloud is way more flexible than AWS. I also like that IBM Public Cloud is pretty straightforward to integrate. As long as you have all the tools IBM provides you, getting everything up and running is straightforward."
"This is a predictable and dependable service."
"The price of IBM Cloud is most valuable for us. The service is personable and gives us a good rapport. I can't say it's the best, but it was enough for our needs."
"The initial setup was very easy. It's quite straightforward. Deployment took about fifteen minutes. Everything is well organized."
"The beauty of cloud service providers, especially public cloud service providers, is that they are scalable every time when you need them because their payment model is pay-as-you-go."
"The product is very stable."
"Cloud Platform's stability is great."
"The HANA replications are very useful."
"SAP is an excellent company with an excellent reputation, excellent products, and dedicated customer support."
"The most valuable features of the SAP Cloud Platform are the extensions and integrations. Additionally, there are a lot of AI-based microservices."
"The maintenance part can be outsourced easily."
"The solution is very useful and interactive with a dashboard for viewing other interfaces."
"The most valuable features of SAP Cloud Platform are security integration and scalability."
"An area for improvement in IBM Public Cloud is getting up-to-date information on how to set up everything. It's hard to find new documentation."
"The solution needs to be more autonomous. It should let the DL go to allow for more jobs on the cloud. It could have a better interface as well."
"The deployment can be a bit of a pain. There are a lot of packages and a lot of options and it can require complex configuration to get it right."
"The initial setup and the pricing are areas that need improvement."
"Normally, for any cloud, we get a lot of information on the web, but that is missing in the case of IBM Public Cloud. We need some technical support documents. That is the only thing missing in IBM Public Cloud."
"There is not a lot of support for this solution, which is something that needs to be improved."
"It could be more secure."
"While they have about 99% of what we need, the only exception, perhaps, was the push notification feature that was discontinued. They delayed the replacement product."
"I want to see better pricing from the SAP Cloud Platform in the future. I also want more security and scalability from it."
"I feel that SAP provides the tools, but after that, you are left on your own. It would be better if they provided more support throughout the usage of their solutions."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements with the price and the licensing."
"The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting."
"They are still developing this product. It does not really have 100% of the necessary features available to properly service business clients"
"The tool's UI is not very intuitive for cloud integration, so it needs research to understand its options and how it may work."
"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."
"The current pricing model is credit-based. We would like to have more information about the usage of the existing applications."
