Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."For non-complex applications, the IBM Cloud works fine and the price is much lower than the competitors."
"It's straightforward, has a good environment and is cost-effective."
"The most valuable feature of IBM Public Cloud is the AI integrations."
"It is a scalable product. You can scale it up and down."
"The beauty of cloud service providers, especially public cloud service providers, is that they are scalable every time when you need them because their payment model is pay-as-you-go."
"The initial setup was very easy. It's quite straightforward. Deployment took about fifteen minutes. Everything is well organized."
"I've found the stability to be excellent. The performance is good."
"What I like most in IBM Public Cloud is how easy it is to create serverless functions. They are called IBM functions, but in AWS, they are called Lambda functions. Those are pretty standard, and another thing I like the most is that you have fewer restrictions on the amount of data you can transfer across those functions. IBM Public Cloud is way more flexible than AWS. I also like that IBM Public Cloud is pretty straightforward to integrate. As long as you have all the tools IBM provides you, getting everything up and running is straightforward."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"It is a stable solution, as I never encountered issues when using it."
"The features I found most valuable are the integration options."
"Though I'm not a massive fan of the SAP Cloud Platform, it has good features, such as its integration with other SAP solutions. When integrating with SAP or even the SAP sister company SuccessFactors and other companies SAP has acquired, you also enjoy data features in the SAP Cloud Platform, such as role-based permissions and other characteristics you can import from SAP."
"Improved our speed to bring our mobile applications into productive use in a cost-effective way."
"The dashboard provides pretty good clarity."
"The integration flows are the most valuable feature of this solution."
"Feature-wise, I like it since it allows you to integrate with multiple applications. There are available connectors that allow you to integrate."
"The deployment can be a bit of a pain. There are a lot of packages and a lot of options and it can require complex configuration to get it right."
"While they have about 99% of what we need, the only exception, perhaps, was the push notification feature that was discontinued. They delayed the replacement product."
"They could improve on customizing reporting capabilities."
"It will be challenging to implement if you do not have any experience."
"The product should offer more computing, similar to Amazon."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly deployment process in the next release of this solution."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Recently, we just faced some issues with the operating system due to the end of life of CentOS 6...So, then the client wanted to try it out under AWS instead of IBM. In short, it has some complexities."
"It would be helpful to have additional samples for SoapUI that include interface methodologies and templates."
"The product could be improved for consistent user interfaces."
"I've observed a few bugs in SAP. One recent bug I found in Content Modifier is that when using a predefined header to call the current date, it prints the previous date. These are small bugs I found."
"Usability is a challenge most of the time and not being able to get all of the information."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"They are still developing this product. It does not really have 100% of the necessary features available to properly service business clients"
"What I would like to see improved is the learning curve."
"I would like to see more and better support for data transformations."
