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.

Real-time data processing and good support with room for market-driven improvements

SAP RFX and overall SAP solutions provide a very intuitive and integrated solution within finance, leading procurement, and other business scenarios. The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable. SAP's capability to integrate with other systems like GIS and non-SAP applications also stands out.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The deployment is most valuable feature."

"I head the sales and marketing team. So, specifically on the feature set side, multi-tenancy is the one that I'm most familiar with. It's also the one that we found to be the most beneficial to us because it allows us to take clients that have multiple sites. For instance, one of our larger clients, which is a bank based out of South Africa, has offices in multiple countries. It allows us to multi-tenant each and create a tenant for each country within multi-tenanted architecture."

"Oracle offers more of the basic functionality needs."

"Oracle Cloud Platform has good scalability."

"The most valuable feature is the reporting service."

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

"We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network."

"I like having the ability to easily run Oracle Linux server instances and to deploy Oracle Middleware and WebLogic servers. Oracle's Infrastructure as a Service products are also very useful, and we're using those right now within Oracle OCI."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"One of the features that I've found most useful is that It's very simple. They take care of the technical aspects of the data, installations, patches."

"The interface is easy to manage."

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

"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."

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

"The processes and the way we take advantage and use assistance are 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."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud pros

Cons

"The technical support is really bad, because their reaction time is extremely slow."

"I work with many clouds and I would say, in comparison, others have a better presentation of services and they have clearer steps in terms of implementation."

"One improvement that would be helpful is the addition of a replication option on their Standard Edition OD service. Currently, this option is not available, which leads many customers to move to the Enterprise edition. However, other cloud service providers, such as Amazon AWS offer replication options at a similar tier. It would be beneficial if Oracle also explored providing this option for their Standard Edition service."

"Simplifying the cloud management console would be really valuable for small and large customers alike."

"Amazon AWS has a better solution overall."

"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."

"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."

"The pricing model of Oracle Cloud Platform is an area of concern. Oracle Cloud Platform should be made available at a cheap price."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"This product is not mature enough at this point in time."

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

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

"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."

"Our data centers are in Europe and come under GDPR regulations, and this doesn't apply to the Middle East yet. It causes a lot of confusion."

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

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle Cloud Platform is a bit costly. You can always bring your own license or subscribe to the SaaS option, but the SaaS option is very costly. I rate the pricing a six out of ten."

"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."

"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."

"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."

"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."

"Pricing needs to be improved."

"Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."

"The product’s pricing is reasonable compared to other tools in the market."

"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."

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

"It's very, very expensive."

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

"The price is expensive compared to the 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 solution's cost is reasonable."
