We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and SAP S4HANA on AWS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."I am impressed with the solution's EC2 EKS."
"The features that I have found most valuable are their compute and their Relational Database Service."
"We are mostly using EC2 compute and other resources. Most of our managed services are in AWS, which some of our clients prefer."
"It streamlines tasks like table creation and data loading into Redshift, making the process more efficient and manageable."
"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."
"Amazon AWS is user-friendly and intuitive."
"In general, Amazon's performance is good."
"In general, the cost management in Amazon is complicated. It's not too straightforward."
"Technical support is very good from SAP and AWS...Scalability is always available in the solution...With a stable environment, it should be running very nicely."
"I would rate this solution as a nine out of ten because it covers all the fields, has a big maturity, and has something other solutions are missing, which is speed."
"Reporting transparency and user-friendliness are the key benefit of deploying SAP S4HANA on AWS. Furthermore, the solution offers a plethora of modules that have proven to be valuable, and there are regular updates available."
"We have found the retail business features to be the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of SAP S4HANA is Fiori. It allows users to access information quickly and easily, without having to navigate through unnecessary screens or transactions. Additionally, the ability to retrieve data more efficiently is helpful. Furthermore, the pre-delivered videos and functionalities within the solution allow for easier application building."
"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."
"It's easy to use 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."
"Our API Management solution is integrated with Lambda, and last year, we had an issue while upgrading Lambda from version 8.0 to version 10. It seemed like Lambda runtime was changed by AWS, and there was a bug that caused the downtime. The loading of the dashboard is slow. It could be because I am located in China."
"Integration with in-house applications could be simplified."
"There should be seminars and online training sessions available from AWS because a lot of people who are not using it would benefit from having the basic knowledge or basic hands-on experience."
"AWS should provide even more support and engagement to accelerate the adoption of new services and features."
"You'll probably experience some sticker shock with AWS. You attempt to understand the cost, but you don't realize what you're paying until you get your first bill. I don't know if Amazon does that on purpose, but costs can get out of control quickly if you don't have someone who specializes in AWS cost management."
"I don't have complaints. Previously, we asked for more end-to-end workshops, examples, and tutorials and these have been added and improved."
"The pricing structure can be improved and made more straightforward."
"Monitoring still needs to be improved."
"The product's implementation phase can be very complex for customers."
"The GUI is age-old, the pricing is too high for hardware and older customizations are not working consistently."
"I would like scalability to be improved in the future for faster performance."
"SAP S4HANA could be improved by adding a click-to-deploy model."
"The AI aspect of SAP S4HANA can be improved."
"The tool should undergo an overall improvement, including support. Data sharing should also be faster."
"The manufacturing application system, it's not as user-friendly in S4HANA."
"I would like for them to have more integration with virtualization platforms."
