Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The simple infrastructure of the service is very useful.""We are not using any features offered by OCI but only using virtual machines. So our data only syncs from our On-premises to cloud. The compute and performance are better than other cloud solutions.""I have found Oracle Cloud to be a scalable solution.""The initial setup was easy. It takes just a few minutes to create a virtual machine.""What I like most about Oracle Cloud Platform is the ease of getting data in and out of the cloud, and the affordable licensing.""It is more secure and more controlled than an on-premises deployment.""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 most valuable feature of this solution is the Interface."

"Technical support from SAP is great.""The most valuable feature is the ability to access it from anywhere.""It is well-established and caters to our user base efficiently.""SAP Business One on AWS has good documentation and has many services in the cloud.""The initial setup of the product seems to be good.""The maintenance is a significant advantage as it is supported by the international community rather than the local community.""The top-level view and easy navigation to individual transaction levels are beautifully done in SAP Business One.""The product makes it easier to overview the ERP system and manufacturing processes through different modules."

Cons
"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers.""The price of the subscription is too high and excludes some potential customers.""Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack.""The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development.""The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options.""The configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward.""The solution could always be less expensive.""In a future release, they could improve by adding some form of machine learning and artificial intelligence."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Cons →

"There are limitations of SAP Business One. It's a complex topic, and exploring options like SAP HANA is challenging at the moment. Understanding the limitations of ERP requires thorough research. I suggest conducting some preliminary investigations into ERP products before making a decision. We chose SAP Business One as it caters to SMEs like ours, acknowledging and accepting its limitations. While a larger product exists, switching would entail budget considerations due to the ongoing implementations. Therefore, the current situation with SAP Business One is not a matter of concern.""SAP Business One on AWS could improve by adding more functionality to the web client.""The interface needs to be improved. It needs to be more user-friendly.""The web client is an area with shortcomings, which SAP is presently working on, and needs to improve.""It is hard for the customers to get the product from the market. Improvement-wise, it can shorten its time to reach the markets.""It would be better if the solution was on a cloud infrastructure.""SAP Business One on AWS could improve by having more customization and more user-friendly automation.""The browser access needs to improve, as everybody in the industry knows how limited it is."

    Overview

    Cloud services where you need them

    Your need for sovereignty, compliance, and location-specific performance should not limit your access to the latest cloud innovations. OCI gives you access to a full portfolio of cloud services wherever you need them.

    When modernizing your enterprise apps, abandoning core technology isn’t feasible or necessary for success. OCI is built to address the unique requirements of performance-sensitive on-premises applications and other traditional enterprise apps—scale-up architectures, ultralow-latency networks, built-in security, and clustering of resources for availability in the cloud without risky and costly application refactoring.
