Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is helpful for the management, optimization, and utilization of resources.""Provides multiple kinds of services for managing the clouds of multiple customers.""For the customers I work with, it provides flexibility as far as storage is concerned, so it's security and access.""When I started using CloudSphere, it wasn't mature, and it had multiple issues. For example, my team experienced server issues while using the solution, but recently, I noticed how much CloudSphere has improved. There used to be some latency issues with CloudSphere. It even gave error messages in the past when you select an option such as "the web server is not responding", but it has improved a lot, and now I don't get any errors from CloudSphere. What I like best about CloudSphere is that it has a lot of beneficial features, and it has a single pane for managing multi-cloud environments, which I find very helpful, and it's the main benefit you can get from CloudSphere.""We do not need to install any appliances or any agents."

More CloudSphere Pros →

"This solution is as good as any other S/4HANA SAP solution. The continuous support we get is very valuable.""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.""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.""There's a minimum amount of downtime when using the solution. This platform is very effective.""I am impressed with how the solution integrates with the ME system and ALE IDocs.""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 scalability is good because we have some cloud resources to support the ERP.""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."

Cons
"There are quite a number of services that can't be deployed using CloudSphere.""The solution must have a single management console for the resources and VMs.""The next feature I would like to have full disclosure of what's being done with the data.""The main issue I experienced from CloudSphere was recently resolved, but an area for improvement in the solution is that it lacks the functionality of migrating resources from one public cloud to another. If CloudSphere could provide that functionality, that would be very beneficial to users and companies.""When we start the scanning of, for example, 500 servers, it will not handle the scan. We need to differentiate the jobs - for example, one job for 100 servers, a second job for another 100 servers, et cetera."

More CloudSphere Cons →

"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""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.""It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance.""The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere.""The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data.""The only thing that could be improved is the cost.""I would rate the stability a four out of ten. It's an area that could use improvement"

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It depends on how that model will be used. It might be anywhere between $4 and $15 per license per month. It’s less expensive than other options."
  • "The product is very expensive."
  • More CloudSphere Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If you choose the minimum, it will probably cost around $1,000 USD per month if you take a contract for a year or two."
  • "The licensing of the solution is on a yearly basis. The normal price of the solution is quite high, but I received a special discount by making a purchase near the end of the year."
  • "The solution could be less expensive."
  • "The price is expensive compared to the competition."
  • "The price is high compared to other databases, which is why HANA is still not widely used. Some enterprises prefer Sybase, Oracle, or other traditional databases because HANA is a little pricey. Cost is one factor SAP needs to work on to make it more competitive with other databases. Otherwise, they'll never be able to develop a mass customer base."
  • "Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
  • "The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
  • "The product itself is relatively expensive."
