Provides seamless integration with CTI for streamlined data synchronization but complexity and challenges in migrating existing applications to the low-code model for custom application development
The main area that requires improvement in the SAP Cloud Platform, specifically within BTP, is cost management and application stability. We also face challenges with load balancing and other related issues. Currently, we leverage the review of business applications and data usage within our organization. CTI has proven to be an excellent choice for integration, making it seamless and reducing the complexity of various integration scenarios. However, the major area that needs improvement is the development model for custom applications on BTP. SAP has introduced a low-code model that enables application development with less coding and more focus on data and visual building. However, migrating existing applications from traditional coding methods, such as HTML or other programming languages, to the low-code model is not straightforward. It is time-consuming and involves reviewing the application model, which may discourage businesses from investing in this transition. Additionally, there are various requirements and layouts that need to be considered, which further complicates the process. Many businesses are hesitant to invest in this area as it involves significant effort and may result in data loss, especially when personnel change within the organization before requirements are provided. It's an area that requires attention. It becomes challenging for developers to understand the business logic and requirements, making it difficult for the team to work on application migration and transition. Moreover, SAP has released a publication regarding the migration to VMware Cloud, and compatibility issues have arisen. This affects the seamless migration that SAP promotes, as there are thousands of objects that are not compatible with NetCloud. These objects are critical to the business, and without them, the transition cannot be successful. Technical complexities and the difficulty of migrating one application to another create significant obstacles. Businesses lose interest in such migrations due to the time and technicality involved. While the technical team understands the complexities, the business side is primarily concerned with using new features and staying up-to-date. This discrepancy becomes a major bottleneck, making the transition from one location to another extremely complex.

Easy-to-use product with the ability to generate code efficiently
Talend's most valuable feature is its ability to generate code and packages efficiently. This feature streamlines the integration process, saving developers time and effort. Additionally, the stability of the generated code is noteworthy, as it ensures reliability over time. Despite not always producing the most aesthetically pleasing code, it eliminates critical errors, reducing the burden on developers. This stability is particularly crucial in complex integration scenarios, where errors can have significant consequences.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features of SAP Cloud Platform are security integration and scalability."
"To be able to define multiple sub accounts in order to accommodate and separate development, test, and productive environments."
"The HANA replications are very useful."
"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."
"The mobile access capability is very beneficial."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."
"The ability to expand it whenever required has been great — it's very simple."
"The product's integration with PostgreSQL and Jira has been helpful for us. Its performance is good. However, we do not use it for large data sets."
"Talend Data integration has a wide library of connectors."
"I'm very passionate about this solution because if you look at any other tool that costs around $200 - $300,000, like Delphix which costs you a million dollars, Talend is very cheap and is almost is at par with what others can do. There is one thing which Delphix does which Talend cannot do, but overall, I would say apart from that, if you're looking for a solution, you should give it a try."
"We have multiple use cases for this solution. We integrate with Salesforce, SAP and Oracle databases to build business logic and provide reporting."
"Talend's most valuable feature is its ability to generate code and packages efficiently."
 

Cons

"The product needs improvement for serverless native integrations. They should opt for serverless features as all the customers worldwide choose cloud-based products."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
"What I would like to see improved is the learning curve."
"Usability is a challenge most of the time and not being able to get all of the information."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"We need to connect our ERP solution via the VPN. We need to make sure our ERP solutions aren't exposed to the outside world. Our teams really struggle with this."
"The pricing is too high across all SAP products relative to resource utilization."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The tool's technical support needs to be better. It doesn't have a local data center but pushes everything to the cloud. They need to check in with customers to see if they're happy and how well the solutions work. They need to assign a customer success manager for the accounts they sell."
"Due to using the open-source version of Talend Data Integration, which lacks a scheduler, our current approach involves developing jobs in Talend, exporting them as Java packages, and utilizing an external scheduler, such as Windows Scheduler, to manage the scheduling process."
"The product's setup process could be simpler."
"Sometimes there are bugs which are unidentified and we have to follow-up with the Talend team to resolve them. In a critical situation, it takes time for them to update patches."
"There are no concurrent licenses, they only have seat licenses on cloud. That's the whole challenge. For example, if in any project your headcount increases or decreases, you do not have that concurrence and you have a seat license, you run into challenges because you have to procure a few more licenses for getting the job done."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the pricing a six or seven."
"SAP offers yearly, subscription-based, and pay-as-you-use licensing."
"The solution is worth the money."
"I discovered that the SAP Cloud Platform is affordable, contrary to the impression that it's expensive. The pricing for extra packages or messages is quite reasonable, especially for things like message throughput and processing."
"The product's pricing varies and depends on the customers' needs."
"SAP Cloud Platform Integration is an expensive product. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"SAP Cloud Platform is generally more expensive than the other options."
"SAP Cloud Platform is expensive. It can be quite costly."
"The product pricing is considered very good, especially compared to other data integration tools in the market."
"I have been using the open-source version."
