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."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."
"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."
"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 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."

"The cost could be improved. I think it's higher than the competition."
"The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"I would rate the stability a four out of ten. It's an area that could use improvement"
"Customization is an area of concern in SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, where improvements are required."
"Doesn't have a common development environment."

"The pricing is a little bit high."
"The manufacturing application system, it's not as user-friendly in S4HANA."
"SAP S4HANA on AWS could improve by having the entire solution available as a web solution. They only have Fiori right now, and it's a solution for certain modules, but not for all the modules that SAP currently has. We would like to see the GUI removed, it is not very good. We want it to be web-based."
"There are a few complexities when it comes to licensing that could be simplified."
"The documentation isn't clear enough."
"S4HANA is expensive. It costs much more than SuccessFactors."
