Cloud platform has supported cost control and database integration but still needs better metrics and storage

I have not used Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)'s networking solutions today. I studied it somewhat, but it is not my main area currently. We had some problems sometimes with Autonomous Database in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), for example, in the past months related to the asset of the metrics. We found problems related to what we wanted to show to the customer about the database because many metrics were missing. We usually worked together with members of Oracle Italia to ask them to introduce some metrics, for example, those that do not work correctly about CPU usage, memory usage, or network usage. There were some metrics in Oracle Autonomous Database in dedicated infrastructure that did not allow us to show correct information to the customer. We usually needed to ask Oracle Italia to introduce some metrics or clarify metric usage. In some cases, they showed incorrect data in the output, so we had to work with them to solve this problem. I am speaking about problems from approximately one year ago, so I do not know if they have fixed all of it now. One problem I faced in the past with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) was also related to documentation. Sometimes there are differences between Oracle Autonomous Database usage on shared infrastructures compared to dedicated infrastructures. When searching for documentation, it is not clear if one aspect or solution is usable in both technologies or on both shared and dedicated infrastructures. I found some documents proposed for Autonomous Database and then discovered that the case was applicable only for shared infrastructure, not dedicated. Oracle Italia explained to me that Oracle Autonomous Database on shared and dedicated are different products. However, I do not understand why if I have the same version of Oracle in both architectures, I cannot have access to some tools or internal packages in both technologies. We usually had to ask them to introduce also in dedicated infrastructures the use of some Oracle PL/SQL packages, some internal packages, for example, for the management of queues. Another aspect is that the storage of Oracle is not very user-friendly. In Autonomous, for example, where I think an autonomous database should manage storage correctly on its own, my experience is that often we have many allocated storage spaces that are free, but it is impossible to reclaim. We need to expand storage and pay for it, even though it is free. I think that regarding the internal management of storage, Oracle can improve.

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 product helps us to use it as a central ERP and HCM."

"Oracle Cloud is definitely a product that I recommend, especially for existing Oracle customers."

"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."

"Oracle is valuable for improving performance and addressing issues between the nodes of clusters for private IPs. It provides a private connection between the client and the security cluster."

"The best aspect of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the relation between the performance and the price."

"The solution is easy to use."

"When compared with other products, this product is very good because it's easy to move from primary to secondary sites. With other products, you need to build everything from the base. With Oracle Data Cloud, you can move from the primary to the secondary and return back to the primary by a very simple command, and you never lose data."

"From a Kenyan or African perspective, Oracle and Microsoft have a very good footprint across all the countries we operate in."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"Traditionally, SAP worked with Oracle databases, but SAP is getting rid of the other databases and promoting its own. SAP will stop support for other databases around 2026, so everyone is moving to SAP S/4HANA for the performance and because it's the preferred database for SAP. S/4HANA has new features from the front-end or application feature perspective. The idea is to move toward future-ready technology."

"The solution is online and provides a real-time information feature, which makes a huge difference to the business, especially in reviews and meetings."

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

"The solution does provide quite a lot of support, upgrades, automated batch updates, etc."

"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."

"If a customer is looking for the latest innovations or products from SAP this solution is perfect for them."

"The interface is easy to manage."

"The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud pros

Cons

"The product's resilience is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The setup was not very simple but not complex either."

"Areas that need improvement are the pricing and the support."

"The biggest challenge I'm having with the cloud offering is the sizing. So, pricing becomes difficult. The sizing challenge is in terms of being very clear on how your data growth or your requirements would be. It becomes a bit difficult to be able to ensure that there's enough future proofing in what you've signed. At the same time, the whole idea behind the cloud is to be able to pay for what you use. You don't want to pay for something that you're not using."

"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 is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved."

"The user interface could be improved and be further simplified."

"I would recommend this solution to other people."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"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."

"The price of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud is quite expensive compared to solutions such as Data Fabric in Azure and Redshift on Amazon, which are quite cheap in comparison."

"The customer has a lot of dependencies on SAP which means they don't have much flexibility to go and update the system when or if they need to. They will need to wait for the quarterly updates. It's possible to maybe raise a special request with SAP if it is absolutely necessary."

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

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

"Customization is an area of concern in SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, where improvements are required."

"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."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I compared Oracle Cloud Platform with other competitor providers like Azure, and I don't think Oracle is too expensive."

"It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month."

"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."

"The solution is expensive."

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

"The solution is expensive according to services and competition. Also, it is not prevalent in the market. I rate the solution’s pricing a seven on a scale of ten, where ten is expensive, and one is cheap."

"Oracle Cloud is cheaper than other products."

"There is an annual and a subscription option."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"The product itself is relatively expensive."

"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."

"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 solution could be less expensive."

"It's very, very expensive."

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