We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure and SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like that it is user-friendly and flexible."
"Microsoft Azure provides good performance and support."
"The product has been very stable for us so far."
"It is quick and easy to deploy. It is flexible, and we can deploy a resource anytime. We like and prefer the pay-as-you-go model."
"The solution has high stability."
"The technical support has been excellent."
"It is a very easy-to-use platform, and it is very powerful in terms of data backup and Blob storage. It has very good features, especially if you are using Microsoft products, such as Windows, Microsoft SQL Server."
"Storage has made remote access to files much more painless and easy."
"The BTP module is important for digital transformations."
"I am impressed with how the solution integrates with the ME system and ALE IDocs."
"It is a stable and scalable product."
"Traditionally, SAP worked with Oracle databases, but SAP is getting rid of the other databases and promoting its own. SAP will stop support for other databases around 2026, so everyone is moving to SAP S/4HANA for the performance and because it's the preferred database for SAP. S/4HANA has new features from the front-end or application feature perspective. The idea is to move toward future-ready technology."
"The most valuable feature is virtual modeling, which is beneficial because you don't really save the data multiple times the way we did in the past."
"The solution does provide quite a lot of support, upgrades, automated batch updates, etc."
"My company has not had any problems with the product's initial setup phase."
"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."
"Improving transparency in billing is crucial for us. Understanding how billing works only becomes clear once we start using the services. A more accurate billing calculator would help us anticipate costs associated with using specific services."
"There could be more documentation and video tutorials to incorporate each and every feature. This way one can easily get the knowledge and implement it."
"Microsoft Azure could improve by having the availability be 100%. Which is difficult, but not impossible."
"The support subscription models need improvement."
"Microsoft Azure needs to improve its user interface. New developers and teams have difficulty understanding its lifecycle."
"One area for enhancement could be in the realm of big data and unstructured data storage."
"I would like to see it more easily accessible."
"Difficult to understand how it works and it's an expensive solution."
"The product must provide more details of the errors."
"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."
"The cost could be improved. I think it's higher than the competition."
"The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."
"They should probably offer more cloud services. Most of the cloud infrastructure providers we have make everything pretty transparent, you know what you're getting, you have all these metrics and measurements and everything in the dashboard. Here you have to go through the contracting negotiations and all those things."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance."
"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."
