"The cost of hosting the solution is very reasonable. It's quite inexpensive."
"The tool's installation is easy. I rate it an eight out of ten."
"The product efficiently manages the data center without manual intervention."
"There are two main features that we find very valuable. One is the interface and the new user experience. That's really, really helpful for the end-user. The second is the HANA database itself because it speeds up the process. In other solutions, like Oracle, there is a lot of redundancy that slows things down."

"The HANA database is a valuable feature"
"The solution should have more integration."
"From a performance point of view, Huawei and Azure are faster. Alibaba isn't as good."
"Users use websites as a tutorial. However, the Alibaba Cloud website has the content, and the scripts are copied from Amazon Web Services. We had received customer feedback where the customer asked us to get formulate original content instead of copying from Amazon Web Services. It’s very odd and awkward."
"A big area for improvement in Alibaba Cloud is its support. Another area for improvement in Alibaba Cloud is SDK-based service because sometimes, the SDKs don't work correctly. Support for API-based services also needs improvement in Alibaba Cloud because, at the moment, it's not that stable."

"The solution name is not favorable in some markets and could cause us some problems gaining customers."
"Alibaba Cloud's initial setup is somewhat complex."

"The solution's overall enterprise support could be improved."
"The solution is costlier than other products."
"I would like to see a lower price for the solution."
"The product's implementation phase can be very complex for customers."
"The pricing is a little bit high."
"The drawback of this tool versus an on-site tool is that you've got to upgrade the tool. The software is upgraded as it gets upgraded and you've got to be ready to change whatever processes and do whatever training you need to do."
"I would like scalability to be improved in the future for faster performance."
