Overall Satisfaction with SAP Business Technology Platform
The largest use case is Integration Suite and Analytics Cloud. There are a couple of other subscription & EA services we are using, and we are still at the start of our journey.
Btw, here comes one of my first feedbacks: SAP Business Technology Platform is also the technology and framework behind a couple of SAP products / services, where you actually keep that "secret". That does not really help your customers understand your whole operating model.

Pros
- Integrate with on premise solutions without too much of a hassle.
- Though - it is not really completely trouble free to setup, maintain and run Cloud Connector either...
- The customer success partner attached to us is doing a fantastic job!
Cons
- ALL (!) products and services should be made available in EA. It is extremely annoying that individual products which are attractive to us again are NOT available and require a separate subscription. Right now we do regret that we signed such a large EA contract, while struggling to find budget for other services only available through subscription. That is NOT what we signed up for.
- Speaking about this topic, it does not make one thing better that we first had to migrate SAC from subscription to EA, actually requiring a technical migration effort without ANY benefit, whereas now - after signing a BDC contract / SAC moves out of the EA again, leaving me with even more cloud credits which I will struggle to use. This is in plain words idiotic and as unattractive to us, as it can get. It is really about time you guys start to think in terms of how we can bring benefit to the customer instead of only optimizing your own revenue, this is not sustainable, as you may find out one day.
- So far I see a lot of additional cost. It is not yet possible to conclude if there are any true savings, obviously, we are looking forward to eventually reduce lifecycle & maintenance cost, as well as the hardware footprint for on prem solutions like PO
I have not seen or used any of the use cases - I am sure colleagues in my company have used them
