Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications

The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS ( /products/amazon-aws-reviews ) Cloud, and they are also lower in cost. We use compute, storage, and network services. A notable feature is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's consistent global pricing, which is advantageous. Furthermore, applications using Oracle Database ( /products/oracle-database-reviews ) not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.

Real-time data processing and good support with room for market-driven improvements

SAP RFX and overall SAP solutions provide a very intuitive and integrated solution within finance, leading procurement, and other business scenarios. The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable. SAP's capability to integrate with other systems like GIS and non-SAP applications also stands out.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Oracle Cloud Platform has good scalability."

"We have not had any downtime using the solution."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is its autonomous database."

"I like having the ability to easily run Oracle Linux server instances and to deploy Oracle Middleware and WebLogic servers. Oracle's Infrastructure as a Service products are also very useful, and we're using those right now within Oracle OCI."

"The solution is easy to use."

"The strength of this product is that they have many good database options, compared to other vendors."

"Our recommendations are good, and we also have a bidding platform that is helpful for managed service providers. This platform can save customers up to 2-3 weeks in billing time, from 25 days to 3-4 days. We have two products: a basic product and a cloud optimization product. Both products help customers improve the performance and cost-efficiency of their cloud environments."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Interface."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."

"The BTP module is important for digital transformations."

"The interface is easy to manage."

"It is a stable and scalable product."

"Ensuring data integrity across finance, supply chain, and other critical areas is paramount for real-time decision-making. Access to accurate and up-to-date information is essential for data protection. While the digital solution primarily serves basic maintenance, the ability to handle these core aspects efficiently is invaluable for your needs."

"There's a minimum amount of downtime when using the solution. This platform is very effective."

"Fiori is the most valuable feature, as well as the the integration between S/4 and another solution as an extension."

"The solution is stable and we have never had a problem. We started with one terabyte of data when the solution was first implemented and today we have around almost 600 gigabytes of data, which means means the compression works properly. Before migrating from ECC, we had nine terabytes of data."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud pros

Cons

"The integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use."

"The product’s pricing should be reduced."

"The framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."

"The scalability requires some improvement. This is one of the most important things they need to get better at."

"The portfolio should improve for the Oracle Cloud Platform. Oracle has to increase the services offered. New services should be added to be able to compete better with Amazon AWS which is the best, and the biggest service. Oracle Cloud Platform has a small portfolio, but it's a good one."

"They could add more features."

"There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."

"Pricing could be improved considering competition and market conditions."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"The product must provide more details of the errors."

"The only thing that could be improved is the cost."

"It’s a common challenge with applications like Microsoft and SAP that they tend to rely on engineers rather than human resources personnel for knowledge and implementation."

"Enterprise Cloud's reporting could be more automated to improve content accountability, especially regarding BI reports."

"It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance."

"The cost could be improved. I think it's higher than the competition."

"SAP should adopt more rapid changes in market processes and customer needs to deliver solutions that meet new industry requirements swiftly."

"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OCI's pricing is one of its best features."

"It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."

"The price of the solution should be reduced to a price that people can afford."

"The best aspect of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the relation between the performance and the price. When you compare the price with Amazon AWS, Microsft Azure, or any other, the price for performance is the best."

"Its pricing is complex, but as partners, we can get away with quite a bit of discounting because we deal with them directly. I would rate their pricing probably a one or two out of five because they're quite expensive. Microsoft Azure will probably be the cheapest because depending on the Microsoft product that you have, they have some sort of bundling. There are things that they give you to get you onto Azure. AWS is probably somewhere in the middle."

"I rate Oracle Cloud three to four out of ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"The product’s pricing is reasonable compared to other tools in the market."

"It's less expensive to operate your environment in the cloud than in-house. It's a bundle cost. Everything is included in one price."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"It's very, very expensive."

"I rate the product's price a five out of ten."

"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."

"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."

"If you choose the minimum, it will probably cost around $1,000 USD per month if you take a contract for a year or two."

"The price is high compared to other databases, which is why HANA is still not widely used. Some enterprises prefer Sybase, Oracle, or other traditional databases because HANA is a little pricey. Cost is one factor SAP needs to work on to make it more competitive with other databases. Otherwise, they'll never be able to develop a mass customer base."

"The product itself is relatively expensive."

"The solution's cost is reasonable."
