"You can instantly scale resources up or down as needed, avoiding the need to build infrastructure from scratch."
"I think Amazon AWS is easy to use, and it's a good service. I also like Amazon EKS because it's good."
"The scalability of the product is the solution's most valuable feature."
"It has a lot of new features that make our lives easier in terms of what we want it to do in the house."
"Easy to deploy through the channel model for serverless architecture and easy to integrate through the organization model."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple."
"One of the most valuable things about it, besides the stability, is that you can forget about infrastructure because you're just doing it on AWS. I remember the times before AWS and other cloud solutions existed, and it was a huge pain to get real hardware, put it inside, configure everything, report everything, and do a scale. It was very, very difficult compared to how it is now. Not even just AWS, but what all these cloud providers are doing, I would say, is a huge advancement in technology."
"The stability is magnificent, it's spectacular."
"The most valuable features of SAP Cloud Platform are security integration and scalability."
"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."
"The maintenance part can be outsourced easily."
"One of the best features of this solution is that it is web-based and you can log in and work on it from anywhere."
"It’s easy to maintain, as everything is handled by SAP."
"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."
"Cloud Platform's stability is great."
"Scalability is one of the benefits that we have in using the product."
"I have trouble with the AWS command-line interface."
"The availability could be better."
"The dashboard can be improved a little bit to provide more information."
"In terms of additional features we'd like to see, the one thing that comes to mind is better integration with Oracle. We have a lot of Oracle databases, and there is no other option to either migrate to PaaS, stay on-prem, or use Oracle Private Cloud."
"The pricing of the solution could be better. It's a little pricey."
"The price could be better."
"They could lower the cost. The setup could also be easier."
"The networking models used in AWS, while functional, do have room for improvement. This is especially the fact, considering that they are built/presented from a systems perspective."
"While it was good for a small entity, it was not ideal for a large enterprise."
"The product needs improvement for serverless native integrations. They should opt for serverless features as all the customers worldwide choose cloud-based products."
"The current pricing model is credit-based. We would like to have more information about the usage of the existing applications."
"When I started looking at the client's IT architecture, I started by doing a study of their services, DVM, data volume, and management services. According to the results, they could be a lot better at this."
"My impression of the stability is that it is not good. Almost every month there is something new and that makes us nervous about delivery."
"It would be helpful to have additional samples for SoapUI that include interface methodologies and templates."
"Better connectivity to on-premise systems would help us to support older systems that are migrating to the cloud."
"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."
