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."What I like the most is that we can convert databases into a proper multi-dimensional model, and then we can project with the integration with Power BI."
"My company has not had any problems with the product's initial setup phase."
"There's a minimum amount of downtime when using the solution. This platform is very effective."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."
"This solution is as good as any other S/4HANA SAP solution. The continuous support we get is very valuable."
"It has significantly streamlined our operations."
"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."
"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."
"They have their own instances where you can host your database."
"I appreciate the reliability and performance of SAP S/4HANA on AWS. It demonstrates high integration and stability, making it a widely used choice in various industries, including manufacturing, such as factories, carmakers, and battery production. It effectively covers a broad spectrum of business areas, which is beneficial."
"This product is currently the leading product within this category."
"Reporting transparency and user-friendliness are the key benefit of deploying SAP S4HANA on AWS. Furthermore, the solution offers a plethora of modules that have proven to be valuable, and there are regular updates available."
"It is indeed a stable solution, but it depends on how you architecture the component in AWS. If the component has the right architecture and is properly provisioned and placed, then it will be a stable platform."
"The most valuable features of SAP S4HANA on AWS are that it's simplified and the analytical capabilities are good."
"Technical support is very good from SAP and AWS...Scalability is always available in the solution...With a stable environment, it should be running very nicely."
"The only thing that could be improved is the cost."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product must provide more details of the errors."
"Our data centers are in Europe and come under GDPR regulations, and this doesn't apply to the Middle East yet. It causes a lot of confusion."
"Enterprise Cloud's reporting could be more automated to improve content accountability, especially regarding BI reports."
"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 customer has a lot of dependencies on SAP which means they don't have much flexibility to go and update the system when or if they need to. They will need to wait for the quarterly updates. It's possible to maybe raise a special request with SAP if it is absolutely necessary."
"Perhaps minor changes to the enterprise structure could be made, but the rest is fine."
"There are a few complexities when it comes to licensing that could be simplified."
"I would like to see a lower price for the solution."
"The documentation isn't clear enough."
"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."
"The product can be very complex."
"The pricing is a little bit high."
"I would like for them to have more integration with virtualization platforms."
"The solution is costlier than other products."
