We performed a comparison between Google 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."This is a solution that's so easy to expand when you need it to. It's the best I've ever seen. It's much better than Azure."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"It is stable. It is easy to learn and very straightforward."
"The solution can scale as well."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Google Cloud is 100 percent stable."
"I haven't had any trouble setting up Google Cloud."
"The customer service team for this solution is very knowledgeable."
"The most valuable features of SAP Cloud Platform are security integration and scalability."
"The solution is scalable."
"It's suitable for various sizes of companies. I have used it with big companies and with small ones as well."
"Cloud Platform's stability is great."
"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."
"SAP has provided very good support."
"The integration flows are the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The solution can scale."
"The Spanish version is in beta. It needs to be farther along."
"The analytics that they have are very focused. It serves Google and not really the client."
"The UI is beautiful but not easy to use, and also a little slow. Anything that you click is slow to load. It is also not easy to find something. I do not find the left-hand side menu good. We have a lot of options mixed there and we need the best way to deploy cloud resources. I prefer Azure ARM templates since their JSON files are easy to manipulate and integrate with other tools."
"The Notes application could be better."
"Google Cloud would benefit from more detailed practical hands-on training especially in your mother tongue, not just English."
"Another issue is the applicability of local language data capturing mechanisms, which are more advanced on cloud service providers, but still there is room to grow. Also, their hybrid version isn't available in all markets worldwide, so I'm hoping that it will be released globally soon"
"There are issues with stability."
"The product should be more cost-effective."
"The main problem is that there aren't any easy migrations from SAP PO to SAP CPI, so from process orchestration to cloud platform integration."
"Planning features are limited to the finance module."
"The current pricing model is credit-based. We would like to have more information about the usage of the existing applications."
"They are still developing this product. It does not really have 100% of the necessary features available to properly service business clients"
"The price of the solution could improve."
"What I would like to see improved is the learning curve."
"Speaking about the public cloud, it's a very rigid system. So, there is not a lot of customization possible in a public cloud environment."
"From what I understand, the SAP Cloud Platform is for implementation on AWS or Azure, and it's not meant to be a full-fledged cloud solution, so while using the platform, an area for improvement is that it has fewer offerings and is less flexible when compared to AWS. AWS has a lot more flexibility than the SAP Cloud Platform. I've also used Azure in college and AWS in between, and I prefer AWS over the SAP Cloud Platform. The only reason I would ever stick with the SAP Cloud Platform is to create applications integrated with SAP or with other companies within SAP, such as SuccessFactors. When you go into the SAP Cloud Platform web page, it's a bit bland and has relatively limited offerings. For example, there doesn't seem to be in-house MongoDB support, but I realize there's in-house support for the PostgreSQL database, so there are fewer offerings in the SAP Cloud Platform. Yes, you can always go for a database on the actual MongoDB server rather than depending on the offerings of the SAP Cloud Platform. However, it's still better to support MongoDB from the platform, so payment is consolidated, rather than going to a different location to make a payment. Another room for improvement in the SAP Cloud Platform is the need to create an SAP subaccount if you need to use the platform unless you have an SSO login by Google or if you're using a different identity provider such as Microsoft or Google. Instead of requiring dependency on SAP, it would be good if users could use the SAP Cloud Platform even without a subaccount on SAP. For example, when hosting an application on AWS or Azure, you don't have to create an account in Amazon or Microsoft. You can still do it using Google. You can use almost anything, so I'd like SAP to improve by removing the dependency, particularly the requirement to create an SAP account to use the SAP Cloud Platform."
