"We pretty much like everything and we are excited about the seamless capability the EC2 service is offering."
"Their technical support is really good. I am very satisfied."
"The product is highly scalable."
"It offers durability, high availability, fault tolerance, and a high TCO benefit."
"Setting up AWS was pretty easy. It was straightforward to set up, and it took us a year to develop and migrate our mobile banking solution to the AWS cloud. Our migration experience was quite positive."
"The most valuable features of Amazon AWS are ease of use, deployment, and short lead time. If you are using an on-premise solution, you need to wait for the hardware, and nowadays it is very difficult, the lead time becomes very long. We propose to our customers to use Amazon AWS because it is very easy, no need to wait for hardware delivery."
"The monitoring is the most valuable aspect of the product."
"We use AWS for multiple purposes, such as developing APIs and API integration using API Gateway. We use API Gateway, Python Combinator, Lambda Glue, and ETL Process. We have used EMR for big data processing. If we need a tool for computing, we go with the Lamda DMS. There are many services available in AWS that meet our needs."
"Great Integration Suite, with CPI being its stable component."
"Feature-wise, I like it since it allows you to integrate with multiple applications. There are available connectors that allow you to integrate."
"The solution can scale."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"The maintenance part can be outsourced easily."
"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 most valuable feature is the data synchronization, or the push and pull of the data."
"The product improved our company's business operations since we got value out of it."
"I would like to see CloudFormation made more in the programming way of thinking."
"We like everything about the solution except for the general price."
"They do not yet have a complete solution for APM monitoring. But this, along with real user monitoring, is something that they are actively working on improving."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"Identity and access management on AWS could be straightforward."
"A person with no AWS experience might find it overwhelming at first."
"Amazon needs to develop better tools for troubleshooting network traffic, application insights, performance, and even some aspects of integration mapping. I'm hoping AWS implements something like Azure's Network Watcher and a log analytics solution where a can pull logs from various services and present them in a single dashboard. I want to summarize the performance and usage of every service and application."
"The user interface (UI) needs improvement. Right now, it's not the best."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
"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."
"My impression of the stability is that it is not good. Almost every month there is something new and that makes us nervous about delivery."
"I would like to see more and better support for data transformations."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"Planning features are limited to the finance module."
"I've observed a few bugs in SAP. One recent bug I found in Content Modifier is that when using a predefined header to call the current date, it prints the previous date. These are small bugs I found."
