We did not look at other options. Currently, we have a lot of dependency on the SAP product as we have 25 different SAP products running.

We're still looking at Azure API for the other half of our landscape. But for SAP-related work, it was obvious to go with CPI.

There are not many tools with which you can compare SAP Cloud Platform. There is Microsoft Dynamics 365, but it is for very small organizations. Also, Oracle has NetSuite. SAP has a good breadth of features. I mean, it can pretty much do anything and everything, and it provides coverage to all industries. So, it's phenomenal.

My company chose SAP as it pushed us to select SAP Cloud Platform instead of Dell Boomi or any other tool, as Cloud Platform belongs to SAP. SAP Cloud Platform comes free with SuccessFactors, which is a primary reason why clients use it. SAP Cloud Platform does add a lot of complexity for the company's team owing to its capabilities.

We did evaluate other options. For example, as I recall, we looked into Oracle as an option. I don’t recall if there were others. It was a long time ago. We chose SAP as it integrated well with our other SAP solutions.

I'm not sure if other options were looked at.

I evaluated AWS, but I found the SAP Cloud Platform easier to integrate and implement, while AWS was more scalable, flexible, and affordable.

We did look at Oracle e-Business Suite. I know a bit about it, however, my knowledge is not that deep.

We didn't have another choice as it is mandatory with SAP IBP.

It is not really a competing product, but I have been using S/4 by HANA AIF (Application Integration Framework) for eight months or nine months. Mostly, I am dealing with a certain product integration process registration on HANA Cloud. I will be using Cloud Platform Integration along S/4 by HANA on the AIF Cloud. Not the pure S/4HANA, but only get into the AIF, Application Integration Framework.  

I like SAP Cloud Platform over Microsoft Azure since the former is more well-integrated into our company's environment. Microsoft Azure does have its share of benefits, but it does not align with the space where I work. SAP is a bit faster in our company's environment.
