We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and SAP Cloud Platform based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Amazon AWS and SAP Cloud Platform have a similar user rating based on ease of deployment and service and support. However, in terms of cost, Amazon AWS outperforms SAP Cloud Platform. Based on features, users felt Amazon AWS was an overall great solution but needed better data management. In contrast, users of SAP Cloud Platform felt the software had good data synchronization but was still a young product.
"Using AWS is really helpful for saving costs."
"This solution is stable and reliable."
"Amazon is a really good solution with high performance. They offer more connectors than some of their competitors, such as Microsoft Azure."
"The payment structure is very good."
"The services that we are using have frequent updates, at least twice a year. They provide a new version that has more capabilities or features that fit our process and procedures."
"We pretty much like everything and we are excited about the seamless capability the EC2 service is offering."
"We can easily upgrade and downgrade the Instance."
"The solution offers easy provisioning and scaling on the fly."
"I found flexibility most valuable in the SAP Cloud Platform. It's a simple tool that's good even for first-time users."
"The product is very stable."
"The pre-delivered content from the SAP cloud platform is definitely a strength."
"Cloud Platform's stability is great."
"The HANA replications are very useful."
"The product captures data in real time."
"Scalability is one of the benefits that we have in using the product."
"It is a stable solution, as I never encountered issues when using it."
"Some of their well-listed services are not super configurable."
"The response time of technical support could be better."
"I'm not an expert on the product, but if I had to suggest one improvement, I know a feature that would allow a person to backup his on-premise solution to the cloud directly with one click would be useful. This solution should be agnostic because sometimes a product that was backed up with Veeam is highly compatible with Commvault. I think it would be better if these backup features were agnostic. Viewing a build could also be improved. It's not easy to follow up on your consumption and see how much you're paying and how much you will be paying. Viewing the build could be more clear."
"The difficulty of the implementation depends on the project. We have a lot of very complicated and complex project which make the implementation more difficult. However, a small project can be very simple to implement. In general, over 90% of the project tend to be complex implementations."
"More complete and specific training for many of the technologies, specifically with Python Django and the CMS (Mezzanine)."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"If you have not had previous training or studied guides it will be a little difficult to use the solution. However, the difficulty also depends on what you are using the solution for. They can improve by providing more documentation, such as tutorials and videos."
"The availability could be better."
"I can’t speak to features that may be missing."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
"When they innovate too fast, they end up confusing their customers."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"They are still developing this product. It does not really have 100% of the necessary features available to properly service business clients"
"One crucial aspect where SAP lags behind in flexibility is customization to suit specific business requirements. SAP needs to understand that customization is inevitable and should be more supportive of business-driven customization."
"What I would like to see improved is the learning curve."
