SAP Enterprise Portal vs. SAP Business Technology Platform

I think normally, in my day-to-day, I have to navigate multiple screens or reach max GUI sessions fast, a multi-tab, or a way not to lose or manage multiple views. This would help me, as a dev/tester, navigate through processes faster.

SAP Business Technology Platform offers to run the cloud application without worries about availability and accessibility. This is helping us to enable the services that are really suited for us. For example, We have Cloud Identity Services that offer the capability to manage identity directory and also Identity provisioning functionality. Both functionalities helped us to manage the SSO and also enabled the auto-provisioning.

Overall, I feel it is build toward as an SAP centric platform. Which is very proper direction for SAP as it is their competitive advantage. However, as a customer, I like to see the cost of the services to come down with the advance of underlay hardware capabilities. Licensing model can be streamlined for easier budgeting and consumption.

I give it 9/10 because its customer support team is responsive and knowledgeable, providing clear guidance on complex issues. We contacted them several times; I want to give one example. When we had a problem with third-party integration, we reached out to them about the issue, and they provided a tailored solution for this.

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.

SAP Enterprise Portal has a very similar feature set to other systems, but the interface is simple and the cost is reasonable. We had quotes provided from Salesforce and other providers, but they did not meet out budgetary requirements or offer features that were different enough to warrant the extra cost. SAP fit the bill for us.
