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.
"AWS has large community support."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Amazon for DevOps is fantastic. Amazon has fast clouds, and the process and the Dev is very good."
"It scales well and is flexible."
"There is no downtime. The solution is reliable."
"AWS is known for its scalable cloud hosting and computing services. We use various features depending on our needs, including endpoint services, database instances, and EC2 instances."
"The cutting-edge design is valuable."
"I am impressed with the solution's EC2 EKS."
"The most valuable features of the SAP Cloud Platform are the extensions and integrations. Additionally, there are a lot of AI-based microservices."
"The entire SAP ecosystem is a valuable feature. It provides access to SAP S/4HANA, ACG systems, and their Fiori launchpad, making it easy to navigate between them. This makes the enterprise very accessible."
"It’s easy to maintain, as everything is handled by SAP."
"To be able to define multiple sub accounts in order to accommodate and separate development, test, and productive environments."
"One of the most valuable features I have found is that the solution is secure."
"It's suitable for various sizes of companies. I have used it with big companies and with small ones as well."
"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."
"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."
"Price is an area with a shortcoming in the solution that has a scope for improvement"
"Amazon AWS could be improved with cheaper licensing costs."
"It would be better if there was a way to see which components were still on. We have some situations where I forget that some components are turned on. We forget some components are on, and we only see that these components are on when we see the bill at the end of the month. It would also be better if AWS had specialized firewalls or integrations with leading products. For example, a specialized firewall with content filtering. We were looking for some firewall tools, and we saw that AWS doesn't have any specialized firewall tools in its services portfolio. So, we are looking for other tools like FortKnox, Forcepoint, and Check Point because we didn't find the solutions in AWS services."
"The interface could be improved."
"Amazon AWS could be improved by lowering the general storage price."
"Some extensions are better than others."
"The price could be better."
"Recently we had a long conversation about functionality that is missing in Alexa — in Mexico, specifically. Alexa for Business is a service and platform that Americans can use to make a call to an Amazon Echo device or a telephone via the app. But in Mexico, we are not allowed to use that technology. This is a significant disadvantage of AWS for those living in Mexico."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting."
"The solution requires more flexibility overall."
"The main problem is that there aren't any easy migrations from SAP PO to SAP CPI, so from process orchestration to cloud platform integration."
"It would be helpful to have additional samples for SoapUI that include interface methodologies and templates."
"The product needs improvement for serverless native integrations. They should opt for serverless features as all the customers worldwide choose cloud-based products."
"Planning features are limited to the finance module."
"I want to see better pricing from the SAP Cloud Platform in the future. I also want more security and scalability from it."
