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.

"The product enables users to create their own reports."

"Oracle offers more of the basic functionality needs."

"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."

"Frankly speaking, I've been very impressed with the stability the solution offers. Everything is working very well at the moment, and we haven't had any issues or faced any bugs or glitches."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"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 most valuable feature is virtual modeling, which is beneficial because you don't really save the data multiple times the way we did in the past."

"This solution is as good as any other S/4HANA SAP solution. The continuous support we get is very valuable."

"There's a minimum amount of downtime when using the solution. This platform is very effective."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud pros

Cons

"OCI's user interface is awful and needs to be modernized."

"The solution needs improvement in support, performance, and features."

"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."

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

"The solution requires tighter integration capabilities."

"The setup was not simple."

"With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex."

"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"The cost could be improved. I think it's higher than the competition."

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

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

"The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."

"The main thing is that SAP needs to give better response times for support tickets."

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

"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."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual and a subscription option."

"The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"The solution's cost could be better."

"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."

"I compared Oracle Cloud Platform with other competitor providers like Azure, and I don't think Oracle is too expensive."

"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."

"OCI is the cost-effectiveness compared to other similar services, assuming all compliance regulations are met. Additionally, they offer a number of things free of charge, which is particularly beneficial for smaller clients."

"It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."

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

"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 price is expensive compared to the competition."

"The product itself is relatively expensive."
