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.

An integration platform that enables you to automate tasks by connecting apps and services
Follow best practices,engage in their professional services to help build your messaging system and to be PR have some PR emphasis and and blue Bluegreen deployment You could take half your your clusters out, upgrade them, and put them back in so you have a quick callback. And also patch quarterly, we got we got downbound. And and at that point, it's a little hard to get into the cycle when you're releasing software every every week, and you're trying to, go through an upgrade seven fifty servers, it's a little hard to get into the upgrade flow when when you're running that tight. I rate the overall solution an 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

"To be able to define multiple sub accounts in order to accommodate and separate development, test, and productive environments."
"The entire SAP ecosystem is a valuable feature. It provides access to SAP S/4HANA, ACG systems, and their Fiori launchpad, making it easy to navigate between them. This makes the enterprise very accessible."
"The ability to build custom applications on the BTP platform, reducing customization on the SAP HANA system and improving performance and management."
"It’s great that we have the entire suite of SAP at our fingertips."
"It is a stable solution, as I never encountered issues when using it."
"It’s easy to maintain, as everything is handled by SAP."
"Feature-wise, I like it since it allows you to integrate with multiple applications. There are available connectors that allow you to integrate."
"The most valuable features of the SAP Cloud Platform are the extensions and integrations. Additionally, there are a lot of AI-based microservices."
"The orchestration aspects of APIs, the integration capabilities, and the logging functionalities were the most critical features of our workflow."
"I feel comfortable using this product with its ease of building interfaces for developers. This is a better integration tool for integrating with various applications like Oracle, Salesforce, mainframes, etc. It works fine in the integration of legacy software as well."
"It has a good integration server, designer, and a very good API portal."
"​Broker and UM are the best features."
"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."
"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."
"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."
"They are the building blocks of EAI in SAG products, and they offer a very good platform."
 

Cons

"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements with the price and the licensing."
"It would be helpful to have additional samples for SoapUI that include interface methodologies and templates."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"I would like to see more and better support for data transformations."
"SAP is expensive."
"When they innovate too fast, they end up confusing their customers."
"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features. I don't know what they could do differently. I know that they were vulnerable, and there was some downtime, but because they were down, we were unable to download any potential service packs."
"I would like to see the price improve."
"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."
"t doesn't represent OOP very well, just a method and proprietary interface called IData."
"The price has room for improvement."
"I would like the solution to provide bi-weekly updates."
"I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SAP Cloud Platform is expensive. It can be quite costly."
"SAP offers yearly, subscription-based, and pay-as-you-use licensing."
"The solution is worth the money."
"SAP Cloud Platform is generally more expensive than the other options."
"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."
"SAP provides good discounts."
"SAP Cloud Platform is an expensive solution."
"The pricing can be negotiated."
"Some who consider this solution often avoid it due to its high price."
"Sometimes we don't have a very clear idea what the licensing will entail at first, because it can be very customizable. On one hand, this can be a good thing, because it can be tailored to a specific customer's needs. But on the other hand it can also be an issue when some customer asks, "What's the cost?" and we can't yet give them an accurate answer."
"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."
"I am not involved in the licensing side of things."
"The pricing is a yearly license."
"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."
"webMethods Integration Server is expensive, and there's no fixed price on it because it has a point pricing model. You can negotiate, which makes it interesting."
"There is a license needed to use the webMethods Integration Server."
