We are using HANA cloud to store some of our ERP transactional data & product quality testing data. We do some data modelling and finally use Fiori apps for business users to consume the data. the app is primarily used to generate quality certificates for the products shipped from our plants to customers.
  • All in one technology stop
  • Easy subscription services for all technologies
  • flexibility to share BTP credits across technologies
  • Credit rollover flexibility
  • better sizing estimators
  • more than 1 free trial periods for different IT departments to evaluate
Easy to use one stop SAP technologies in cloud. flexible credits management across technologies. easy to migrate from on-prem to cloud. free trial period helps to evaluate the products. Lot of standard content or missions to get some ideas on how a tool or technology can be leveraged for use cases. Good training contents.

We use it for Fiori Development and Integration Suite and HANA DB. We aim to use it also for AI Lunchpad. So, it addresses the user interface problem with FIORI. It also allows connectivity with Success SF and even with our outside partner. We also use it to replace PI. We also use Event Mesh.
  • Development Editor : BAS
  • Integration Suite
  • HANA DB
  • Connectivity is difficult service keys are hard to use, SSO in general.
  • Licensing model to activate service especially free tier.
BTP is particularly good for Integrating S4 and other SAP platforms. It is also good for developing Software like CAP and Fiori Applications. The event mesh is progressing. I am looking forward to the integration with SAP Build APp, SAP Build Code, and SAP Process Automation. Overall, there are good security and roles.

Mostly for new implementations and to adapt clean core strategy we recommend it to all the customers. With BTP its so much easy to have a clean error free stable central system and number of services make it really easy to use them for different purposes.
  • Datasphere
  • Business application studio
  • workzone standard
  • Workzone advanced
  • Integration with corporate identity provide
  • monitoring and dashboard capabilities
It is well suited for cases where customer is new to SAP or also when customer is moving from on prem to cloud solution both greenfield and brownfield migration customer can use BTP. Generally for highly customized on prem invironment its really difficult to integrate multiple apps with BTP so its not that useful

We use the below functions in SAP BTP, and it is helping us to implement standard SAP solutions of "Fixed Asset Transfer Approval" using "SAP Build Process Automation." After considering many other solutions, we finally implemented it via using "SAP Build Process Automation" because the implementation time is very long, and we also get standard SAP reports to analyze various Assets related reports.
  • Implementing Fixed Asset Transfer Approval via CPI.
  • Implemented Cloud Platform integration.
  • Managing multiple Subaccount's from BTP.
  • Not sure for any area for improvement at this moment, it is new for us.
Boosters in SAP BTP are a set of automatic instructions that help achieve a specific goal. There are many free services as well as paid services but we are using SAP Build Process Automation for Fixed Asset Project at this point.

We use various SAP Business Technology Platform services for internal business processes as well as for customer use cases. These, for example, include custom developments in RAP or CAP.
  • Configuration using boosters
  • Improved documentation
  • Clear zero cost pricing in the free tier
Well suited: Extensibility in decoupled side by side scenarios.
Less appropriate: Tight integration in on-premise ERP|S4 Systems

We use SAP BTP to build new applications. Our productive use case is using the Customer Portal service to design a portal for technicians. We are also using it to explore new innovation from SAP such as AI, OCR, Machine Learning and more. We have 2 main approaches; productive and exploration on 2 different BTP accounts.
  • Free Tier Model
  • Integration with on premise SAP S/4
  • New products delivered
  • Pricing explanations
  • Roadmap and strategy clarification
The delivery capabilities enabled with SAP BTP are great for us. The end product often works properly as expected. We face more difficulty in undesrtanding the SAP roadmap and the pricing options for different services. One other topic we struggle with is understanding which solutions exactly are in BTP, and which are separate cloud products from SAP.

We use it for * SAP Build * SAP Cloud ALM * SAP Process Automation * SAP Workzone * SAP Identity Access Services * SAP Multibank Connectivity * SAP integration Suite + Event Mesh We are moving from Oracle EBS to S/4HANA PCE. We have a large amount of to-be-integrated products (SuccessFactors, Ariba, OpenText Document Management for SF and VIM, and 30+ non-SAP IT products). The Integration Suite is really good, and compared to the competitors, it is really surprising to see how the pricing works. Even the out-of-the-box connection capabilities are unreal.
  • 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!
  • The experience can sometimes be a little disorganized - products do not always give the same experience.
  • The whole Neo and Cloud Foundry situation is unclear still - don't offer neo anymore.
  • The BTP cockpit is not easy to understand and requires improved documentation - if that can be made simpler, it would be good.
  • BTP Global Accounts and Sub-accounts and Folders.. can be confusing, a bit more guidance and simplification around it would be great.
Integration, authentication, bridge between onprem and cloud.

In our company, we use business technology platforms to experiment with new features and advise customers. We mainly use the SAP Business Technology Platform for integrations with SAP C4C and e-document invoices. We use SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation to automate purchase order approval based on rules and criteria. We can reduce manual work, errors, and delays, and improve compliance and efficiency. We can also leverage SAP Conversational AI to create a chatbot that can handle common queries and requests from suppliers and buyers. We use SAP Integration Suite and SAP Extension Suite to connect and extend our SAP and non-SAP applications and data across different environments. A problem we often run into is the late release of some integrations like government law requirements. Often the integration is released close to the legal deadline, giving little time for the configuration phase. We use also other cloud platform integration systems like Power Automate to integrate Microsoft Suite integrations. Like SAP which fits well with SAP products, other platforms fit well with its solutions. Maybe a better non-SAP pre-build integration could be the key to using the SAP Business Technology Platform with products or companies that do not directly use SAP ERP or similar products.
  • Integration
  • Data mapping
  • Load balancing
  • Data-driven decisions
  • Scalability
  • Add products easily
  • Direct DB access
  • Service usage
  • Complex Pricing
  • AI features limited
A scenario where the SAP Business Technology Platform is suitable is integration with other SAP portfolio products. Also is suited when we want to extend S4 Cloud with custom logic or fields or deploy extensions. In this scenario, we can achieve this only through SAP Business Technology Platform. Integration is easy and out of the box. Instead, a scenario in which SAP Business Technology Platform is not suitable is, for example, integration with systems that reside internally in the company's local network. It needs external network settings that not always are available. Another scenario is when we want to build a simple and standalone application, SAP Business Technology Platform is a complex system not suitable for this kind of scenario.

In anticipation of our S/4 migration we selected BTP to create custom applications and robust out of the box integrations for our Travel Retail business.
  • Integrations
  • Application Development
  • Analytics
  • Clear guidelines for certification pathways
  • It covers quite a large suite of capabilities and it would be great to have better distinction.
Well suited for quite a few areas especially custom development. It is not mature in the AI/ML space as there are better technologies for this area.

1.Reducing the Machine downtime by having a visibility on Spare parts availability in the inventory.
2.planning and scheduling of Maintenance activities.
3.Hassle free procurement of the material
4.Identifying the market trends with a documented comparison of the spare part cost and other Engineering services.
5.Data archival and analysis
  • A very good platform to maintain the equipment history
  • Easy Identification of the right spare for the right job
  • Tracking of the spares and consumables
  • Data driven rather than assumptions
  • Need improvement in spread sheet customisation
  • Need to develop more options for vendor identification in the database like by typing the name of the vendor it has to show the list of the vendors with that name
  • Improve system to perform with more speed
For health care and other Manufacturing industries it is well suited.

We used the SAP BTP in an experimental feature as a part of our in house weeklong hackathon to build an intelligent chatbot.We saw that it has a nice, user-friendly user interface and the conversational AI service is pretty good. We planned to use it to develop the tools and technology that enable personalized conversational experiences for Intuit products. Our purpose was to build an conversational AI bot, which would have NLP and Knowledge engine and would give the user steps to perform certain tasks.
We planned to use this in one of Intuit's core product, Quickbooks.
For example, when asked, "Add new user" the bot would list all the steps needed to create an account for a new user.
  • Manage AI lifecycle responsibly, end-to-end
  • Have a user friendly UX and easy to understand workflow.
  • Can support building powerful chatbots with conversational AI
  • Documentation around usage can be more descriptive.
  • We would have loved to have more users in the free tier.
  • I think the free tier only allows dev space of 4gb, would be nice to have a bigger space to add a bigger KE
  • SAP Business Application Studio had a limit of 2 users per session. The size of our team was 5, so we had to keep switching in order to use it.
I have limited exposure to SAP BTP. We used this only to create a chatbot for our hackathon project.
We used the free trial tier. It is decent as a free trial product, and gave us a good experience. It is a good platform if you want to jump start your development and have automation with prebuilt workflows and RPA bots. It also helps us to manage the end to end AI lifecycle in one central place.

We have developed cloud solution to archive SAP data and upload it on blob storage as a file , I deploy my product in SAP business technology platform using cloud foundry, I have also used various services in my application provided by BTP
  • It provides end to end solution to build and run any applications
  • It provides development tool like business application studio which is best and we can access it from anywhere.
  • There are many in built services are available which we can bind to our application and use it functionality with no code.
  • I used cloud connector and some time this service is down and it is hard to connect our on premise system.
  • Some more detail training videos needs to provided which should mainly focused on frequently questions/errors faced by end user.
  • Price calculation and clear understanding of price for any product is hard to calculate it should be more specific and simple
I would recommend this if anyone wants to develop cloud based applications , also when we need to connect SAP and non sap application it is the best place for that. But if we compare pricing of BTP with other market solutions it is not good for small budget project. It should provide trail account for learner and at least they can deploy and use there small scale application for free at some extent. Once they grow they will pay and use paid services.

I was using SAP Business Technology Platform for one of the big 4 companies, which was my client. SAP Business Technology Platform was used as database management tool and analytics to which they were migrating from their legacy system. We used HANA, CRM applications, SD Applications, Time and Expense module, and Finance and controlling modules.
I was aligned with the integration team, where we were trying to implement the SAP products into the company's ERP system, and we were also converting the entire company's legacy system based on SAP Business Technology Platform globally.
By using the SAP Business Technology Platform, we were actually shifting from on-prem systems to cloud-based systems which made data pretty much controllable globally, and the maintenance of the physical system at office data centers has reduced.
  • It has many different tools integrated into the suite, which helps to create a smooth user experience with all connected apps and interfaces.
  • It has the analytics embedded system, which will helps us in generating user-friendly reports with the help of tons of raw data.
  • It adheres to regulatory compliances of data security and data management as per the country and company's policy.
  • It minimizes operational costs as cloud systems are handy and readily available to use.
  • Scaling is one thing that I feel is not up to the mark if we implement this tool in big organizations.
  • Cost structure is on the expensive side as many competitors are there with cost effective solutions.
  • We need specially trained personnel to use the tool, but for competitors, it is not the case as they have user-friendly interfaces with simple and AI implemented workspace, which helps us automating the usage of the tool.
SAP Business Technology Platform is a cool tool where we can get an entire suite with many embedded systems such as AI, Analytics, IoT, and many more along with the base modules, which are very much necessary for the company to implement for all the ERP related work. This has proved to very time-saving step for the company and being on the cloud with the data security compliances it is a risk free software suite with which we can access the data globally without maintaining on-prem systems.

Training people to use SAP systems is an additional cost for the company with which I feel if the user interface is little more user-friendly then it is the perfect tool to be implemented in any of the company for their end to end needs.

We loved how SAP brought in multiple new services to SAP Business Technology Platform. Especially CAP-related stuff and SAP HANA cloud. However, some services like SAP Event mesh, SAP CI/CD feel like they need more maturity, like the ability to move the code that is hosted on the backend server, too, not only on the cloud. As the backend server (GW) is also SAP, it would be great if people could push the code and move like we do when we host on cloud foundry. Event mesh availability should be in more places rather than just in one zone. We would really appreciate it if SAP gives us enough firepower to fend off AWS services so that we can push and recommend SAP Business Technology Platform in multiple aspects. We are at a disadvantage when it comes to DevOps. For example, Director/Company IT security is looking for tools that can be developed using infra as a code mechanism. SAP API Management vs. AWS API, we are lagging because we cannot really develop and integrate using DevOps. Then availability across multiple zones for event mesh. Quick turnaround on Chat in SAP support as these products are new, and when we have questions, if that is provided, I think we can take this forward in a much better way. We love your hard work in the last few years, and kindly continue the same.
  • Tight SAP integration
  • HANA Cloud
  • BAS
  • Cloud Transport Management
  • CI/CD
  • Event Mesh stability
  • Devops support
It is great when customers want to see quick UI in very less time. Less money more work scenario.

we are service support and SAP partner. We manage customer 's SAP products technically along with database and also support upgrade and Migration projects. We have also done on premise ,neo migration as well to BTP. Also we use cockpit to manage HANA database ,backups , admin task , user access etc.
  • Integration with SAP products and third party products as well.
  • HANA database services. Very reliable and consistent
  • sometime access to BTP becomes slow and start and stop particular services take time. so here they can improve.
Third party integration is quite simple now and for that Integration suite is available.
HANA database on cloud is very much fast due to in memory mechanism. Cockpit is good feature to do admin and user security and maintenance very easy.
SAP has several subscription option as well which can benefit customer to use services as per their need. You pay what you use.

We use the SAP for maintaining and Tracking of Material stock & it's details. We also use to track the Process flow of any activity handling at site. We also use the SAP for billing and invoicing to the customer and Vendors. SAP is also used for material release, documentation, testing COA etc.
  • Process Management
  • Account Management
  • Inventory Management
  • Material Management
  • Documents Management
It is well suited for maintaining and Tracking of All Material stock and details. It provides accurate information without time delay, all the details are on finger tips, no dependency to other department or person. All Data with accurate information can be accessible any time. The scenario where it is less appropriate is, we can access the details through the computer only with VPI. It could also be more used friendly.

  • Gamut of web services to fit for env
  • Reuse of contents
  • Bit confusing in entitlement section for services or space
  • Roles creation and mapping for services bit challenging

I use SAP Business Technology Platform for banking information with European partners.
  • Integration with other technologies and processes
  • Mobile services for users through BTP do not have enough documentation to use the free services. It is not well documented or does not have guided sessions available, so users can try to figure it out themselves besides taking services from partners or SAP themselves, which is cost prohibitive. The professional services eat the budget limiting the users to consume other services.
The rating is not for the product but for the documentation around it. The product works great and has helped immensely with interaction across several SaaS solutions. Getting across the documentation and how to use the product is very, very challenging, especially the free trial that the platform provides.

SAP Business Technology Platform is an amazing product, everything can be provisioned on the cloud just in a few clicks, it saves money purchasing or leasing IT infrastructure. The tutorials and user guides provided by SAP are easy to read and implement in the SAP Business Technology Platform. Ex. SAP HANA Cloud (DBaaS) saved a lot of money to implement a DB for transactional and analytics environments, both capabilities are provided by this powerful DB found in SAP BTP.
  • Easy provisining of DB on cloud
  • Easy provisioning of datalakes on cloud
  • Faster development of Cloud applications using Fiori Elements
  • Make easier the development using SAP Business Application Studio
  • Some URLs are pointing to non-available tutorials
  • Extend the limitations on free trial accounts
SAP Business Technology Platform is well suited for companies where Hybrid cloud implementations are required and it is less appropriate for companies that want to keep their systems only on-premise.

We implement many scenarios for our customers. Portals, webshops, Fiori apps, non-Fiori web applications, integration of SAP and non-SAP systems, etc. It helps us deliver a modern, integrated, scalable solution with great UX. We use the services available in the platform to compose solutions where we use standard and custom components.
  • Portals
  • Web Shop
  • Integration
  • Fiori
  • Free tier for all services
  • Wider hyperscaler choice for free tier
We have a great experience with portals, webshops, Fiori apps, non-Fiori web applications, integration of SAP and non-SAP solutions, IoT, workflows, etc. It can also be combined with hyperscaler services. It's appropriate for mid-sized or large extensions but less suitable for small extensions which can be efficiently achieved in-app, i.e., inside SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA.
