We performed a comparison between Google App Engine 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."Google App Engine's most valuable feature is self-management. You do not have to manage the infrastructure underneath where all the functions are happening, such as load balancing deployment and version management, they are managed by the system itself."
"The WhatApp feature is the most valuable."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that there is good documentation explaining the implementation part of it."
"It is simple to use. It is much simpler than AWS. It is also very powerful."
"Its ability to integrate with most devices helps users who have different or old devices."
"The initial setup is okay. It's not too complex. Deployment took about one day."
"Administering App Engine is simple; it has intuitive UIs and a very scalable app engine."
"The solution is serverless, so we don't have to operate it."
"The most valuable feature is the data synchronization, or the push and pull of the data."
"The pre-delivered content from the SAP cloud platform is definitely a strength."
"The product is very stable."
"One of the best features of this solution is that it is web-based and you can log in and work on it from anywhere."
"It’s easy to maintain, as everything is handled by SAP."
"The ability to expand it whenever required has been great — it's very simple."
"The product improved our company's business operations since we got value out of it."
"Improved our speed to bring our mobile applications into productive use in a cost-effective way."
"Data consumption of the device could be improved."
"I am limited to sending a photo to five people. I want to be able to send a photo to many people, not just five."
"There needs to be more directions in terms of how to use the solution."
"The support for the Indian region is not as good as compared to the support that is offered to the regions in Europe."
"The only concern is that there is a number of the offerings which are built on their own proprietary technologies. With some of the offerings in Google Cloud, it's difficult to have a path to migrate to other cloud providers."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."
"Some features of runtime don't work well in App Engine."
"I would like to see more and better support for data transformations."
"In person, when the development happens, we were told that it's flexible and customizable. However, sometimes, it's challenging to customize."
"Usability is a challenge most of the time and not being able to get all of the information."
"The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
"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."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
