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."It's been a good choice for us for some services. We generally have several deployments. For instance, for some static Angular applications, it was a clear choice to run them on Cloudflare, which performs very well in this context. All the assets go on DigitalOcean."
"The most outstanding aspect of DigitalOcean is its user interface and ease of use. Compared to more complex solutions, such as AWS, DigitalOcean's platform is highly intuitive and user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature of SAP S4HANA on AWS is that when developed on a new structured system it can be configured."
"SAP S4HANA's most valuable features include backup, security, storage, infrastructure, and enabling AI."
"The most valuable feature of SAP S4HANA on AWS is the latency and speed. When we use the various typical relation database, the performance was visible."
"SAP has an auto-scaling feature, but Azure doesn't."
"I like that they are very familiar with our VM which makes it easy to use."
"After the implementation phase of the product, it becomes a very stable tool."
"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."
"The solution could improve by having integration with GitHub."
"I would like to see an automation feature added to send emails out using the open-source solution."
"I would like to see improvements to the logging and user interface. The verification process could be more streamlined."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved."

"I think something needs to be done in terms of technical support."
"The issue with DigitalOcean is primarily the latency. So, when you have a mixed system with some components staying here, and then we encounter network latency, it's not optimal. Our"
"We found the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The initial setup could be easier. It's complex."
"Not just S4 but for SAP in general, the price is a little high because they have implemented a new licensing scheme on a number of connections. The price being too expensive is some of the feedback we get from our customers."
"More availability zones will help customers choose AWS. I would like to see features that provide easier onboarding for ERP solutions like SAP. SAP has already partnered with S/4HANA on AWS for hosting its public cloud as well. More educational videos for customers to choose this cloud path would be great to have. That is, providing more documentation and marketing material would be better."
"The GUI is age-old, the pricing is too high for hardware and older customizations are not working consistently."
"SAP S4HANA could be improved by adding a click-to-deploy model."
"I would like scalability to be improved in the future for faster performance."
"The documentation isn't clear enough."
"The tool should undergo an overall improvement, including support. Data sharing should also be faster."
