We have found that the platform is very reliable and offers a great deal of flexibility when it comes to deploying applications and services.

  • The platform has had some issues handling high loads and can be slow to respond to customer needs.
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.

SAP on IBM Cloud is a huge software which involves more resources. If you have a startup or a small company then I definitely recommended IBM Cloud because it helps you to avoid all redundant work to set up physical data stores. And there is always the risk of disk failure. So cloud is a safe choice.
  • Making charts.
  • Creating reports.
  • Accessing SAP all around the world.
  • Latency needs to be improved.
  • Concurrent access to be widened.
  • Querying can be much faster for huge data stores.
SAP on IBM Cloud is well suited for middle scale and small scale applications where it performs querying and fast retrieving of data. I really don’t know how it behaves for large-scale applications like where the data is in PETABYTES. It may not be suited for financial applications.

We implemented SAP S/4 HANA recently in our organization, 3 months back. We are using different modules across our organization. The core features are covered in it. The key challenges overcome by SAP are real-time data management and data accuracy, enhanced functionality, the ability to visualize data, and UX with the Fiori apps has been phenomenal. Again this is just the beginning, I am pretty sure once we continue to build and load data in our S/4 HANA, the benefits will be multifold.
  • User experience and interface
  • Real-time data flow and management
  • Analytics
  • Easy interfacing (APIs) with multiple other softwares
  • Improving analytical functionality within Fiori apps
  • Running speed, etc.
Highly suited for MRP-based organizations (I feel) as it helps to easier manage the goods and information flow across the organization. Also, the cloud-based S/4HANA's UX/UI is very well built and designed for end-users, easier to navigate across multiple apps (no need to memorize anything, works very intuitively).

We use it to manage our application infrastructure and to promote smooth deployments across our vast number of service apps. SAP gives us an easy way to monitor all essential systems and SAP fits our needs perfectly.
  • Powerful toolset
  • Custom solutions available
  • Straightforward pricing
  • Poor documentation
  • Steep learning curve
The learning curve can be pretty steep for learning how to use SAP on IBM Cloud, and the documentation isn't meant for beginners. However, once you get your hands dirty it should be an effective tool for any business.

SAP on IBM Cloud is part of a digital transformation push towards moving core business applications to the cloud and from my personal experience, SAP and IBM Cloud are a match made in heaven. I use SAP on IBM Cloud primarily to enhance and extend the principal SAP capabilities and experience with cloud support and value-added features from IBM. The key business problems that SAP on IBM Cloud helped me solve were how to make essential business applications more secure, faster, and integrated so that they are future-proof and facilitate further digital transformation.
  • Migration to SAP S/4HANA made easy
  • Enables SAP solution scalability on an enterprise level
  • Taps into the wealth of core IBM services to enrich SAP applications
  • Advanced SAP and IBM expertise may be needed to take full advantage of the platform
  • The documentation could be more robust
The following are scenarios where SAP on IBM Cloud is very well suited:
* Organization already has IBM services set up and in use
* Strong IBM and SAP expertise exists within the team

The following are scenarios where SAP on IBM Cloud is not well suited:
* Where SAP has already been migrated to another cloud solution

The main reason for its use has to do with managing the scalability of applications on our servers. It means that we create, edit, and test our applications within the cloud servers. On the other hand, we use it both to test and evaluate the efficiency of the code, as well as to evaluate costs and estimate budgets. We have also created final cloud solutions from IBM for third parties, it really helps save time and money.
  • Effective and scalable.
  • Always updated.
  • Offers the ability to integrate SAP with non-SAP solutions extremely easily.
  • Powerful IT services.
  • Support is usually slow to respond, and when it does, it doesn't give us the help we need.
It's nice and the flexible coupling of services helps develop dynamic applications. It provides a good user interface for auditing application deployments, a registration mechanism, and most importantly, it can create web presentations and you don't need to have any software installed, plus the data is very easy to track in real time from point of commercial view, and above all that connectivity is excellent.
