PinakiGhosh - PeerSpot reviewer
The implementation cycle has been reduced significantly but has room for integration enhancements
Our existing customers who are on ECC are on-premises. They are migrating to SAP Cloud Platform, specifically on S4HANA.  One of our clients was on SAP ECC on-premises, and they are moving to the cloud on S4HANA on the public cloud system.  We are supporting about 15 customers, mostly small to…
Miguel Maloney Thompson - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable and stable solution that has good scalability and is easy to setup
It is a scalable solution. I have yet to have a scenario regarding automatic scale and if there's an increase in resource requirement or need. We have yet to have that scenario. We have yet to test that. The scalability was more than manually adjusting and increasing whatever I had to do. I rate it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SAP Cloud Platform allows flexibility in integrating with other applications and supports customizations."
"It's very easily implemented, especially with the Grow Platform."
"SAP is an excellent company with an excellent reputation, excellent products, and dedicated customer support."
"Cloud Platform's stability is great."
"The product is very stable."
"Though I'm not a massive fan of the SAP Cloud Platform, it has good features, such as its integration with other SAP solutions. When integrating with SAP or even the SAP sister company SuccessFactors and other companies SAP has acquired, you also enjoy data features in the SAP Cloud Platform, such as role-based permissions and other characteristics you can import from SAP."
"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."
"The dashboard provides pretty good clarity."
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."
 

Cons

"The tool's reliability is a disappointment for us."
"I would like for it to have integration to GitHub."
"The solution requires more flexibility overall."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
"The product needs improvement for serverless native integrations. They should opt for serverless features as all the customers worldwide choose cloud-based products."
"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."
"Usability is a challenge most of the time and not being able to get all of the information."
"The current pricing model is credit-based. We would like to have more information about the usage of the existing applications."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
"Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SAP provides good discounts."
"SAP Cloud Platform is generally more expensive than the other options."
"The pricing can be negotiated."
"SAP Cloud Platform costs $2 to $5 per hour, while I found other platforms way more affordable. You have to pay per use, though that's fine because that means the cost is flexible."
"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."
"Cost-wise, I'm unsure of how expensive the SAP Cloud Platform is."
"SAP's pricing is usually high compared to the competition. But this is also justified because they hold their products and services to quite high standards."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."
"I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees."
