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.

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.
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.
