We performed a comparison between IBM Cloud Private and SAP Cloud Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The product's framework is good, it integrates well with API Connect, and the private cloud allows for use in any location."
"The most valuable attribute is the platform's ability to consistently deliver high reliability."
"Excellent technical support."
"Our core banking process was monolithic. To address this, we transitioned to a microservices-based architecture. Leveraging Microsoft technologies, including Terminals version 23, we’ve revamped our banking operations. Not all services are microservices; some remain monolithic for simplicity. Containerization is pivotal, with OpenShift (based on Kubernetes and Docker) managing our microservices."
"We have control of the ESXi."
"It’s easy to maintain, as everything is handled by SAP."
"The product improved our company's business operations since we got value out of it."
"The pre-delivered content from the SAP cloud platform is definitely a strength."
"The most valuable features of the SAP Cloud Platform are the extensions and integrations. Additionally, there are a lot of AI-based microservices."
"Great Integration Suite, with CPI being its stable component."
"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."
"The ability to build custom applications on the BTP platform, reducing customization on the SAP HANA system and improving performance and management."
"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."
"lacking in multi-cloud management."
"I've noticed that the satellite services layer requires some improvement compared to platforms like Azure or Microsoft. While it's in development, I believe the satellite layer has room for enhancement. Additionally, the DevOps layer could benefit from closer integrations, especially for using external applications like Jenkins."
"Auto-scaling and managing pod scaling in the microservices architecture, a core feature of IBM Cloud Private, can pose challenges, especially when dealing with larger volumes of traffic."
"The support and pricing need to improve."
"One issue with the solution is latency because there is lag time when we connect."
"Usability is a challenge most of the time and not being able to get all of the information."
"Lacks flexibility in its licensing structure."
"It would be helpful to have additional samples for SoapUI that include interface methodologies and templates."
"I would like to see more and better support for data transformations."
"The tool's UI is not very intuitive for cloud integration, so it needs research to understand its options and how it may work."
"In person, when the development happens, we were told that it's flexible and customizable. However, sometimes, it's challenging to customize."
"While it was good for a small entity, it was not ideal for a large enterprise."
"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."
