If your organization has a lot of SAP talent, and you want to bring together SAP and non-SAP skills together to build solutions, BTP is ideal for you. If you have SAP solutions in your IT landscape, using partner add-ons built on BTP makes it simple to rollout. If you currently don't have SAP talent in your organization, and you are using other cloud platforms already, then BTP ma not be your choice.

Pros
SAP
  • Authentication options - In the past, we needed to really leverage our own solutions for MFA and other security measures, but now, out-of-the-box these options are really good and readily available.
  • Ease of use - the interface has been adjusted to be really easy on the eyes but also simpler, less convoluted, and really well thought out.
  • Modernized SAP experience - compared to the old stuff, SAP is really modernizing all of the experiences. The new house style is rejuvenated, and the company is really becoming more likable compared to 10 years ago!
  • SAP Discovery and Missions are a real treat to see what the upcoming costs are!

Cons
SAP
  • The almost mandatory use of HANA services to run CAP applications. It would be best to provide extensive support for other databases.
  • The subspace landing page/cockpit is not so user friendly. Provides a lot of information and usually is hard to find where things are.
  • Downtimes should be shorter.

Seamless integration with external system and dashboard to monitor the data flow and analysis are very essential for the business. The way the product is designed and modelled lead to minimum business disruptions. Adopting to the new and modern technology was easy. Keeping the central system as clean and adopting project bases development are advantages.

1. Sometimes the licensing doesn’t make sense, e.g., Difficult to understand the license for ABAP cloud runtime. 2. When SAP Business Technology Platform workflow cost is very high but process automation which offers more features has less cost.

SAP Concur allows our staff to book, reimburse and remain spend audit compliant. Our Concur system takes feed from Workday and interacts with Credit card vendor. It also makes posting to Accounting and does clearing. SAP Business Technology Platform helped in establishing connection with all these different tools in real time. It helps in getting paid to the card service provider through our Bank through interface, which is built on SAP Business Technology Platform.

It is good that the correlation analysis and the cause of the failure can be analyzed more extensively through the collection of many data. It is good because it provides a user interface (usability) well and can be used conveniently.
It is good because it can utilize anomaly detection through various AI-based ML models.

Return on Investment
SAP
  • Positive: ease to deploy applications and integrations
  • Negative: PI/PO was much cheaper in our current contract. The message based pricing is understandable but difficult to quantity over time towards management
  • Positive: no firewalls you need to worry about to get integrations or APIs triggered but you need to be concious about this and take your own precautions
  • Negative: with integration suite SAP Business Technology Platform integration cell is announced meaning more responsibility to the customer to decide where to run what in which without certainty the current runtime will still be supported in the long run.
