Featured Reviews

Labhesh Hase - PeerSpot reviewer
Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications
The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS 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 not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.
Rajnikant Verma - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"OCI's best features are its price, databases, and Linux compatibility."
"The key feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is its seamless integration with Oracle applications."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Interface."
"The most important features are the turnkey solutions offered by Oracle. These ease the administration of Oracle Databases."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has good scalability."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."
"They seem to be more readily integrating with Azure, which is great."
"It is a stable and scalable product."
"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."
"I am impressed with how the solution integrates with the ME system and ALE IDocs."
"The processes and the way we take advantage and use assistance are good."
"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 solution's initial setup process is straightforward."
"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 solution does provide quite a lot of support, upgrades, automated batch updates, etc."
 

Cons

"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."
"In a future release, they could improve by adding some form of machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"Database instances and computer storage are areas with shortcomings in the product that need improvement."
"The solution needs to improve the discovery and assessment of the existing infrastructure."
"The solution’s support could be improved."
"The product’s pricing should be reduced."
"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."
"It takes more time to release resources than one of its competitors."
"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."
"The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data."
"The cost could be improved. I think it's higher than the competition."
"The price of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud is quite expensive compared to solutions such as Data Fabric in Azure and Redshift on Amazon, which are quite cheap in comparison."
"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."
"The main thing is that SAP needs to give better response times for support tickets."
"The only thing that could be improved is the cost."
"The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product offers a subscription-based licensing model."
"Make sure you read the fine print."
"The solution's cost could be better."
"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."
"In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges."
"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."
"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."
"The solution is expensive according to services and competition. Also, it is not prevalent in the market. I rate the solution’s pricing a seven on a scale of ten, where ten is expensive, and one is cheap."
"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."
"The solution could be less expensive."
"It's very, very expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The price is expensive compared to the competition."
"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
"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."
