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 most valuable feature of this solution is the Interface."

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

"Frankly speaking, I've been very impressed with the stability the solution offers."

"It's very easy to use it. It's very hard to configure, but it's very easy to use."

"Our use case is for a variety of purposes; we use it for our billing system, our operations support system, our analytic data warehousing, digitalization, customer service, marketing, and sales, so it is integral to our operations."

"I have found Oracle Cloud to be a scalable 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."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is Data Safe, which allows for the masking and encryption of personal identifiable information, ensuring data security."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"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."

"While on-prem takes a long time, this solution is ten times faster."

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

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

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

"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."

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

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud pros

Cons

"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."

"It takes more time to release resources than one of its competitors."

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

"I think that there could be a more user-friendly environment when it comes to the options that Oracle presents through the Oracle Cloud Platform."

"Sometimes when we install something, we need to partition and maybe rebuild the index. This can cause some issues for performance. In the future, I would like to see more stability and fewer bugs."

"The scalability requires some improvement. This is one of the most important things they need to get better at."

"Technical support does not offer the best service and should be improved."

"Oracle Cloud's price is very high."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

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

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

"One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day."

"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 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."

"The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data."

"The price is expensive compared to the competition."

"The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."

"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."

"Pricing needs to be improved."

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

"The solution is expensive."

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

"My ROI has increased."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

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

"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 product itself is relatively expensive."

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

"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."
