User Testimonials
	SAP on IBM Cloud	UpCloud
Likelihood to Recommend	IBM There are some specific scenarios where SAP on IBM Cloud is less appropriate. For example, if a company is looking for a platform to run small or experimental applications, then SAP on IBM Cloud may not be the best option. Additionally, if a company is looking for a very customized or tailored solution, then SAP on IBM Cloud may also be less appropriate. However, for most businesses who are looking for a secure, scalable, and reliable platform to run their business applications, SAP on IBM Cloud is an excellent option. Incentivized Mike Koolwijk Onlinemarketing consulent Read full review	UpCloud If you're looking for a cost-effective solution then this is a good choice, be sure to keep on top of your balance! The 100% uptime is also a nice addition, although not unique in a cloud hosting service. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Cons	IBM The new user has to pass though a serious training. Getting fully manipulation of the features may take some time. Multiple data access for the new user. Incentivized Hannah Caleb Quality Engineer Read full review	UpCloud The billing reports are quite hard to read, could be simplified A control panel function would be useful The re-billing process could be better, not so cut throat if you miss a payment!

Support Rating	IBM I am giving the overall support for SAP on IBM Cloud 9 out of 10 because IBM Cloud provides excellent quality tech support via phone and chat. So far, I have not had a negative experience working with IBM Cloud support staff. They are easy to reach, helpful, and courteous Incentivized Ausrine S. RPA Developer Read full review	UpCloud No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	IBM I have tested out both Microsoft Azure and SAP on IBM Cloud and can confidently say that SAP on IBM Cloud is the obvious choice. The key advantages of SAP on IBM Cloud compared to Microsoft Azure are that IBM Cloud offers free unlimited access to tech support, provides higher object storage space as well as unlimited private virtual servers. Incentivized Ausrine S. RPA Developer Read full review	UpCloud We trialed UpCloud to see if it would be better than DigitalOcean but for our needs, it was not. On DigitalOcean once a droplet is created, almost no thought needs to go into maintenance, outages, or other reliability-based issues. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	IBM Security to our data and easy to recover when need arises. Flexible contracting capacity and rapid expansions. Ready to use Cloud functionalities and quick support for easy implementation.
