AppFog (discontinued) vs. SAP Cloud Appliance Library

It was very good to use in small scale projects. Considering the high end projects with many instances and multi-platform architectures, it is better to test before the application is deployed. I think few of the questions can be general - who are the system users and what size is the application focussing on? How much resources are required? Will the application require any additional services?

Incentivized

Good to use because it is a simulation box and it provides you how business works when we migrate to cloud environment

• Quick deployment of pre-built virtual machines
• Some of the virtual machines also are readily available with a pack of softwares
• Good Stability. Using it as a student, I have never experienced any downtime issues with the projects deployed on AppFog.

Incentivized

• Cost comparisons between the hyperscalers.
• Easy instructions to follow.
• Spin up on-premise solutions in less than 2 hours.

• Though it is good and easy for developers, it lacks operational activities and monitoring tools.
• It is easy to deploy WAR on AppFog with its console but sometimes it can lack on the performance and feasibility.

Incentivized

• Features are simple good and perfect,i dont think any changes while im using SAP CAL
• Maybe color differentiation for usage's per bite or time
• Over all time display on master dashboard

Good, It has more innovation and integration capabilities with SAP and Non-SAP systems

Primarily because it used to have a good free tier earlier, which it does not anymore. It's simple, and things are available to use. Compared to it's competitors, it does has less features, but that kind of acts in its favor. That adds to the simplicity, and ease of use for a new user.

You could do it yourself, or wait for your hosting provider to provide it, but that takes time.

• The platform was much recommeded across the groups and peers.
