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

"I like that the program is flexible. I can use it to write Java scripts. I also like the website, because it constantly updates me on things, like artificial intelligence, and the latest technology. I read the articles, on the latest technology that programmers can use."

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

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

"We have seen a return on investment."

"The main benefit is that you're getting all of the resources you require on a subscription basis, so you get to pay as you go instead of having to have a CAPEX, and you convert your CAPEX to OPEX to cover the data center cost."

"The initial setup was easy, and it takes just a few minutes to create a virtual machine."

"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."

"Overall, I would rate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) as nine out of 10."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"Companies have gained more productivity because users take less time to finalize tasks as the data is correct, eliminating the need to double-check information constantly."

"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."

"I am impressed with how the solution integrates with the ME system and ALE IDocs."

"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."

"It has significantly streamlined our operations."

"It is a stable and scalable product."

"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."

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

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud pros

Cons

"The deployment from on-premises to the cloud is a bit complicated."

"Simple provisioning is fine, but when it comes to complex provisioning, Oracle Cloud is not quick compared to competing solutions."

"The monitoring tool and the migration from on-premise to the cloud should be much easier."

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

"Some of the features of this solution, such as the digital assistant, require extensive configuration before they are suitable for use. We would like these to be made more straightforward and to require less manual input."

"The solution's technical support services are more expensive than AWS. Also, they should expand the team to address day-to-day issues."

"The solution could always be less expensive."

"The initial setup can be a bit complex."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."

"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."

"The main thing is that SAP needs to give better response times for support tickets."

"The solution needs to embed or integrate with IBP to fully activate the PPT module with efficiency."

"Perhaps minor changes to the enterprise structure could be made, but the rest is fine."

"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 price is expensive compared to the competition."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."

"The solution is expensive."

"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."

"The product offers a subscription-based licensing model."

"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."

"We pay the subscription cost."

"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"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 solution's cost is reasonable."

"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."

"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."

"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."
