For how it helps our team with data storage and connecting to GA4 as a backup option, and the incredibly low cost for us to use it and reliably back up our data, I would highly recommend using this tool for all of your cloud storage needs. It's easy to use and their customer service is always responsive and easy to get a hold of.

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.

It takes time to respond and never gives good solutions to the problems, since it seems somewhat robotic with its automatic messages, then when we speak directly with the support, it never gives a solution to our problems, we have to find other ways.

I feel GCS buckets are pretty interchangeable with Amazon S3 as far as I have typically used them. It just depends on who or your company wants to give money to. I have liked the Google Cloud Platform BigQuery console better than the interface for Snowflake, but that may be due to familiarity and the proportion of time I've used Google Cloud Platform over Snowflake.

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.

Return on Investment
  • Approx 30% cost savings after moving from on-prem to GCP due to reduced hardware, maintenance of DC support, and energy costs.
  • There are much faster release cycles due to CI/CD pipelines with cloud build and scalable infrastructure using GKE. It works very nicely.
  • We use BigQuery a lot, and what used to take hours now takes minutes, speeding up business decisions across teams. Clients.
