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.

High stability, reasonably priced, and important for digital transformations

Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation. SAP as a legacy system is missing that flavor. The solution is not a traditional ERP software so should be used as a digital transformation tool. That is the story to project to customers, partners, and sales teams. This will help the solution grow faster than GCP, AWS, or Azure. In fact, Google Cloud Platform is now collaborating with SAP for digital transformation. The solution should offer affordable modules that are customized to startups with 50 to 500 employees. Most people think of SAP as being only for big enterprises but it could be very useful for smaller companies. There are 40,000 to 50,000 startups in APAC each year and that is a large volume. Many of the solution's modules could be used by those startups. Google is targeting this market with chat boards and automation tools at a reasonable price or with six months of free usage. SAP should come up with this kind of module and include sandbox so providers can play with a few of the POCs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable."

"We have seen a return on investment."

"The solution is stable."

"Oracle is a very useful tool in terms of usability and customization."

"We use Oracle Cloud to host the OIC (Oracle Integration Cloud Service) and APEX."

"It is a stable solution...Since it is a cloud solution, I can say it is a scalable product."

"In terms of features, upgradeability to the latest version of Oracle suites has been a good feature. All we have to do is just patching or an upgrade, it's pretty easy. Then, it gets regularly updated. That's what I like about it."

"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."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"The BTP module is important for digital transformations."

"My company has not had any problems with the product's initial setup phase."

"It has significantly streamlined our operations."

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

"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."

"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."

"We have a wide range of use cases for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud. These include production planning, materials management, sales management, treasury, finance, appliance maintenance, real estate, and warehouse management."

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

Cons

"The customization and the requests put through were not flexible enough."

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

"Oracle Cloud Platform can improve the integration with hybrid and cross-cloud deployments. It should be a flexible solution with a very well-defined integration with other applications in the hybrid environment. There are certain integrations that are not straightforward."

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

"Though Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has robust features, improvements could be made to its authentication and identity access management, specifically in making them more seamless without using fingerprints for authentication."

"The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development."

"The product's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."

"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."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

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

"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."

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

"Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation."

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

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

"I would rate the stability a four out of ten. It's an area that could use improvement"

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."

"There is an annual and a subscription option."

"Oracle Cloud is an expensive solution."

"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."

"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."

"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."

"The pricing is the best."

"The licenses for this solution are very comprehensive and, therefore, very economical; there is only one cost, and it covers all available features without any chargeable add-ons."

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

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

"It's very, very expensive."

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

"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."

"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."

"The solution could be less expensive."
