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.

High stability, reasonably priced, and important for digital transformations

Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation. SAP as a legacy system is missing that flavor. The solution is not a traditional ERP software so should be used as a digital transformation tool. That is the story to project to customers, partners, and sales teams. This will help the solution grow faster than GCP, AWS, or Azure. In fact, Google Cloud Platform is now collaborating with SAP for digital transformation. The solution should offer affordable modules that are customized to startups with 50 to 500 employees. Most people think of SAP as being only for big enterprises but it could be very useful for smaller companies. There are 40,000 to 50,000 startups in APAC each year and that is a large volume. Many of the solution's modules could be used by those startups. Google is targeting this market with chat boards and automation tools at a reasonable price or with six months of free usage. SAP should come up with this kind of module and include sandbox so providers can play with a few of the POCs.

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 features are the manageability and the user interface."

"What I like best about Oracle Cloud is that it is an all-in-one system for everything."

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

"There is ROI with the product's use."

"The pricing isn't too bad."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Interface."

"The autonomous database functions are an excellent feature."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"It is a stable and scalable product."

"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 solution is stable and we have never had a problem. We started with one terabyte of data when the solution was first implemented and today we have around almost 600 gigabytes of data, which means means the compression works properly. Before migrating from ECC, we had nine terabytes of data."

"The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable."

"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."

"It has significantly streamlined our operations."

"Fiori is the most valuable feature, as well as the the integration between S/4 and another solution as an extension."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud pros

Cons

"The solution does not follow a retention policy while taking ad hoc backups. Since it does not follow the retention policy, we had to do the manual task to check the backups."

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

"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."

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

"The product's resilience is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"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."

"It should have other workloads from other suppliers running on the solution."

"In general, the systems application needs improvement."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

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

"The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."

"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."

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

"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."

"It’s a common challenge with applications like Microsoft and SAP that they tend to rely on engineers rather than human resources personnel for knowledge and implementation."

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

"The product must provide more details of the errors."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."

"The subscription cost is too high."

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

"The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."

"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."

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

"Oracle Cloud Platform's pricing is comparable to other solutions, but it is definitely not cheap."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"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 solution's cost is reasonable."

"The product itself is relatively expensive."

"The solution could be less 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 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."

"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
