We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS 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."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."
"I am happy with the dashboard."
"The installation is quite straightforward."
"AWS has large community support."
"The cloud storage based on S3 is one the most valuable services we have deployed since it allows us infinite scale in storage and extremely high durability."
"Provisioning and resource administration include billing dashboards, which are very extensive."
"Amazon AWS has a good Redshift database."
"Amazon AWS has good performance and easy management."
"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."
"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."
"Ensuring data integrity across finance, supply chain, and other critical areas is paramount for real-time decision-making. Access to accurate and up-to-date information is essential for data protection. While the digital solution primarily serves basic maintenance, the ability to handle these core aspects efficiently is invaluable for your needs."
"The scalability is good because we have some cloud resources to support the ERP."
"It has significantly streamlined our operations."
"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."
"We have a wide range of use cases for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud. These include production planning, materials management, sales management, treasury, finance, appliance maintenance, real estate, and warehouse management."
"The solution does provide quite a lot of support, upgrades, automated batch updates, etc."
"The web console of AWS is not so user-friendly."
"A person with no AWS experience might find it overwhelming at first."
"Its price should be lower. The price for in-house usage should be different from production usage."
"The feedback we are getting from our customers, especially here in Turkey where the exchange rate fluctuates regularly, is that the solution is quite expensive."
"I also use Google Cloud GCP and AWS cannot directly use the Azure EC2 consult. They could add that feature. Direct connection to the EC2 console server would be very useful."
"Its only cons are on the data warehouse side. AWS' data warehouse Redshift is not as good as it should be."
"The solution could have better security and more integration with other platforms."
"In terms of technical features, I don't see anything missing. The only two points in favor of other providers are the price and local support. The main problem that we see here in Brazil is the price. It is much more expensive than any other cloud provider. Their local support can also be better. We get more support from some of the other providers here in Brazil as compared to AWS."
"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."
"Customization is an area of concern in SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, where improvements are required."
"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."
"This product is not mature enough at this point in time."
"It’s a common challenge with applications like Microsoft and SAP that they tend to rely on engineers rather than human resources personnel for knowledge and implementation."
"The cost could be improved. I think it's higher than the competition."
"Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation."
"Enterprise Cloud's reporting could be more automated to improve content accountability, especially regarding BI reports."
