We performed a comparison between IBM Public Cloud 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."An advantage of IBM Public Cloud is the bare metal server. We can take the bare metal server. It's not shared with anyone. We can deploy our applications without sharing them with anyone. That is an advantage of IBM Public Cloud."
"For non-complex applications, the IBM Cloud works fine and the price is much lower than the competitors."
"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."
"This is a predictable and dependable service."
"It is easy to deploy what you need for the initial setup"
"It's straightforward, has a good environment and is cost-effective."
"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."
"The ability to build custom applications on the BTP platform, reducing customization on the SAP HANA system and improving performance and management."
"Feature-wise, I like it since it allows you to integrate with multiple applications. There are available connectors that allow you to integrate."
"The solution is scalable."
"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 suitable for various sizes of companies. I have used it with big companies and with small ones as well."
"The solution is very useful and interactive with a dashboard for viewing other interfaces."
"The product captures data in real time."
"It will be challenging to implement if you do not have any experience."
"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."
"There is not a lot of support for this solution, which is something that needs to be improved."
"The initial setup and the pricing are areas that need improvement."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The solution needs to be more autonomous. It should let the DL go to allow for more jobs on the cloud. It could have a better interface as well."
"Maybe performance enhancers and reports could be better improved. If they do so, it would be better. Of all the drawbacks I saw, this would be the biggest enhancement."
"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."
"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."
"I feel that SAP provides the tools, but after that, you are left on your own. It would be better if they provided more support throughout the usage of their solutions."
"Planning features are limited to the finance module."
"Better connectivity to on-premise systems would help us to support older systems that are migrating to the cloud."
"The solution requires more flexibility overall."
"The tool's UI is not very intuitive for cloud integration, so it needs research to understand its options and how it may work."
"The current pricing model is credit-based. We would like to have more information about the usage of the existing applications."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements with the price and the licensing."
