Senior Oracle DBA at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
Hybrid cloud has supported payment services and provides reliable networked virtual machines
There are no restrictions about usage of these virtual machines because Linux machines are used, and everything needed is installed on our own responsibility, as all applications are developed by vendors who produce them for us. This is why there are no restrictions felt in usage of cloud services. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers good services, though the price could be lower than it currently is. AI and machine learning features of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) have not been used in production, as research is being conducted in this area. Services provided to customers are very well tested, and untested services are not offered to customers. Currently, research is being conducted on the usage of AI offerings through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) or other vendors of AI tools.

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

"It has improved my company by cutting my time to market."
"It has good scalability."
"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 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."
"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."
"Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about as stable as the other CSPs, but Oracle Cloud is more common in Korea."
"Oracle does well when it comes to data privacy and security, which are critical."
"Overall, there are some very good features on Oracle and it offers good customization capabilities."
"While on-prem takes a long time, this solution is ten times faster."
"This solution is as good as any other S/4HANA SAP solution, and the continuous support we get is very valuable."
"I am impressed with how the solution integrates with the ME system and ALE IDocs."
"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."
"The scalability is good because we have some cloud resources to support the ERP."
"The stability is good."
"Fiori is the most valuable feature, as well as the the integration between S/4 and another solution as an extension."
"It has significantly streamlined our operations."
 

Cons

"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."
"In general, the systems application needs improvement."
"The price in the subscription, for those who may want to subscribe to the cloud as a customer, keeps those potential customers from even considering it as a solution."
"It could be improved on the user-friendly side."
"The solution needs to improve the discovery and assessment of the existing infrastructure."
"The price of the subscription is too high and excludes some potential customers."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
"The billing and right sizing for optimization of your cost in the cloud, a well architected frame, should be improved as soon as possible; the framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."
"Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation."
"The cost could be improved. I think it's higher than the competition."
"The only thing that could be improved is the cost."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The licensing model for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud has changed, and it is not entirely clear for final customers. Instead of named users, they now have to calculate FUEs."
"This product is not mature enough at this point in time."
"It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."
"It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."
"I compared Oracle Cloud Platform with other competitor providers like Azure, and I don't think Oracle is too expensive."
"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."
"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."
"OCI's pricing is one of its best features."
"The solution is expensive."
"On a monthly basis, we pay around $2,500 for licensing fees, with no additional costs. We do pay extra licensing for other on-premises solutions, but these are not related to Oracle Cloud Platform."
"The price is expensive compared to the competition."
"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."
"It's very, very expensive."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"The product itself is relatively expensive."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."
