Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications
The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS 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 not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.
Salman Mukhtar Baig - PeerSpot reviewer
SAP Technical Manager at VS Furniture Middle East
Cloud access has improved reporting and sales operations across global locations
I cannot say anything about what areas of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud could be improved or enhanced because so far, we are happy with this implementation. We are not facing any problem, or I cannot say that this can be improved. Although SAP keeps improving themselves day by day, we cannot say that SAP needs to improve anything. One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day. Before, it was not too much higher, but I don't know why they are increasing their price. They should see this thing, so other customers, such as SMBs customers or small and mid-sized customers, can also avail this thing. Otherwise, we don't have any problem. First, there is the limitation. If you are a SAP user, you don't feel any problem with the limitation because if you know how to use the product, you can easily implement this thing. Otherwise, if you don't know the business process or how to integrate and implement, it could be a problem. We have a limitation, but we developed some add-ons for this. So we fulfilled these requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is its autonomous database."
"We have seen a return on investment."
"Especially when it comes to the Database as a Service, which we use a lot, I can easily vouch for that if you are looking for good database performance."
"I love that all the things I need are in one place."
"I like the solution’s stability, performance, and fault alerts."
"Oracle is a very useful tool in terms of usability and customization."
"The availability of the solution is excellent."
"I like that the program is flexible, I can use it to write Java scripts, and I also like the website because it constantly updates me on things like artificial intelligence and the latest technology that programmers can use."
"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."
"While on-prem takes a long time, this solution is ten times faster."
"The solution's initial setup process is straightforward."
"What I like the most is that we can convert databases into a proper multi-dimensional model, then we can project with the integration with Power BI."
"Now, with the cloud, we can move anywhere in the world and we can easily access it from SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, and even the client can also see the stock availability which they need to order."
"Fiori is the most valuable feature, as well as the the integration between S/4 and another solution as an extension."
"What I like the most is that we can convert databases into a proper multi-dimensional model, and then we can project with the integration with Power BI."
"Now, with the cloud, we can move anywhere in the world and we can easily access it from SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, and even the client can also see the stock availability which they need to order."
 

Cons

"It should have other workloads from other suppliers running on the solution."
"With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex."
"Even though the price was not bad for our purposes, I think Oracle should open up their software service more to customers by bringing the pricing down for the product."
"The solution requires tighter integration capabilities."
"What I'd like to see from Oracle Cloud is an option for the customer to have a single portal to manage and monitor not just Oracle Cloud, but some of the on-premise products in the hybrid scenario as well. If it can be shipped out as an out-of-the-box solution, that would be wonderful. It's not so easy, but for a company like Oracle, it shouldn't be a problem. Many customers go through a lot of effort and burn money to achieve this, so it's an opportunity for Oracle to provide it for customers looking for this type of solution."
"Simplifying the cloud management console would be really valuable for small and large customers alike."
"However, currently, some of its products are not as feature user-friendly as those of AWS."
"They could add more features."
"One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day."
"One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There are a lot of dependencies on SAP. A customer doesn't have much flexibility to go and update the systems as they wish."
"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."
"It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance."
"This product is not mature enough at this point in time."
"They should probably offer more cloud services. Most of the cloud infrastructure providers we have make everything pretty transparent, you know what you're getting, you have all these metrics and measurements and everything in the dashboard. Here you have to go through the contracting negotiations and all those things."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."
"The solution's cost could be better."
"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."
"Oracle Cloud is an expensive solution."
"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."
"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."
"In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges."
"It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."
"The licensing of the solution is on a yearly basis. The normal price of the solution is quite high, but I received a special discount by making a purchase near the end of the year."
"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."
"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."
"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
"The price is expensive compared to the competition."
"SAP may not be the most cost-effective option, but it does offer a comprehensive set of tools and features. When you have the right information, structure, and dashboard in place, it can provide excellent value. Additionally, competition with Oracle might be a factor to consider."
"It's very, very expensive."
