Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are an IT Services and Systems integrator organization delivering SAP services for our customers across the globe. We have been suggesting and implementing for our customers to utilize SAP Business Technology Platform and the services within. Namely - Extension Suite services and Integration Suite services. We also have been awarded the winner of the SAP Business Technology Platform Integration Suite Hack2Build in the NA region, wherein we have showcased a solution we have implemented for one of our customers.
Pros and Cons
  • The feature set of the existing services is being enhanced heavily which would be useful to the customers.
  • Additional services to are being added to the BTP platform, some being even from non-SAP organizations. This, too, will help.
  • Clarity on the Terminology, architecture, including the environment (Neo, MultiCloud, Kyma etc).
  • Education to the customers on the purpose of BTP who are confused on how to start and how to utilize.
  • Clarity on which service exists in which Environment and a proper, clear roadmap. For now, even for some consulting organizations, this is fuzzy.
Likelihood to Recommend
Extensions, Integrations, Analytics, Automation, and some erstwhile Leonardo services help develop any scenario. However, a general feeling among the customers I received feedback from is that SAP would eventually discourage customers from stopping developing anything and everything (for customizations) in the non-SaaS products. A proper clarity statement from SAP in this context to the customer base is extremely helpful. Moreover, the licensing of various systems/products/services became too complicated to understand. Too many different metrics across different Products. Architecturally, what is a prerequisite for what product/service is too hard to understand? Even the partner pricing app given for VAR partners too has very little information or not up-to-date information.

  • The initial spend for the services/licenses and the issues to go through to setup all the environments, global accounts, sub accounts, integration with Corp Identity providers is too much of work at the moment. It is currently outweighing the ROI.
  • Simplifying the SAP Business Technology Platform understanding, setup time based on what is bought by customers is very compelling.

Support Rating

Of late, I am seeing a little laidback attitude from the SAP Support personnel, especially in and around BTP technologies and the support for many products/services under the platform. While I didnt raise a support ticket personally, my team does that and I dont hear very good feedback about the response times/resolution times from SAP. One of those things that could be improved.

Tough to say positive for this. For example, an ongoing Workzone issue was resolved (Or steps were provided for resolution), only after month to month and half struggle. Either way, from a ever changing names of products/services standpoint, while teams are getting themselves educated, support systems for these products too must be made better.
Easy Tasks
  • Initial administrative, accounts, sub-accounts structure, provisioning CF environment, services etc. But, after that, its too disparate for even a small team to master/learn the technologies.
Difficult Tasks
  • CAP model based technologies

  • easier, faster ways to migrate from Other data platforms to DWC, Datasphere etc.

I've been learning about the advantages of this cloud technology, and it is very all the features it has. Smooth and ease of integration are what I like the most.
Pros and Cons
  • Integration
  • Easy connection
  • Nice tooling
  • Kyma is a little hard to understand
  • BAS cloud needs more themes
  • Restful ABAP and Fiori is difficult
Likelihood to Recommend
Everything should run on the cloud because it eases integration with other platforms and APIs.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are SAP partner consulting companies. We provide solutions for customers in various SAP projects. I am currently working as a Senior specialist consultant for solutions in SAP Business Technology Platform development and implementation.
Pros and Cons
  • One stop extension for SAP products extension
  • Integrating Data from different SAP products
  • Provides wholistic view of business processes across the product
  • Adopting open source standards for development
  • Licensing of different services
  • Integration between 3rd party systems
  • Faster adoration of development from open source platforms
Likelihood to Recommend
When there are multiple 3rd part systems involved, often the integration performance or ease of integration is not up to other integration tools. Compared to other tools, SAP Business Technology Platform's initial cost is very high, which often proves challenging to convince customers.

  • For clients with a bigger ERP system, realizations of TCO are usually observed after 3-4 years on average.
  • For clients having smaller ERP foot print we are yet to see positive TCO
  • As not many resources are available, finding the right talent is often challenging
  • Not many existing consultants have a wholistic picture of how SAP Business Technology Platform architecture and security works
Usability

As strictly speaking, from a technical perspective, with the SAP ecosystem the SAP Business Technology Platform has unparalleled capabilities but where in many cases customers already have many Cloud-native solutions built on other platforms, so they are not willing to invest heavily in the new platform.
Support Rating
7
SAP Business Technology Platform has integrated many open-source technologies over time however the rate of adoption is slow compared to open-source products due to the nature of the products. Also needing more upskilling of the existing consultants adds additional burden and difficulties in AMS services.

Azure Active Directory is one of the most commonly used dips across various solutions, as a IDP hence when using SAP Business Technology Platform IDP needs more effort.

Yes
1. Integration of development within SAP products.
2. Developing/integrating applications between sap and 3rd party systems.
3. Development applications needed by 3rd party systems.
Change Management Lessons
Change management was a major issue with the implementation
Often cases where SAP Business Technology Platform Transport management was unable to handle hybrid scenarios, where to use it with others tools to achieve the desired functionality, which in turn raises the cost and resources needed.
Implementation Issues
  • SAP Business Technology Platform transport management capabilities are still lacking to be used as a single tool for transport within the SAP products.
  • Many customers use are using 3rd party systems in many cases, direct API is proving to be difficult especially in on premise and cloud hybrid scenarios.
  • Sometimes even the best use cases for SAP Business Technology Platform services are not selected due to high initial cost and lack of resources.
Implementation Rating

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.
