Solutions Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Cloud database service has reduced admin workload and delivers reliable automated operations
There are no managed detection response solutions or backup and recovery and point detection response. Flash storage is not available as Flash Creek store. Robotics process automation and application security testing are not available; I went to the working solutions, but most of the time it did not work. Oracle Database as a Service in particular is the Oracle business suite or the Oracle data access. As far as working with it as a service, I have not even received a reply yet from the relational database service. I do not know how many people are using Oracle Database as a Service in my organization. For the diabetes service, I have used some of the perks from Arkin. I rate Oracle Database as a Service at a nine overall.

Has improved performance by enabling smoother business operations and real-time data integration
I am satisfied with SAP HANA Cloud and don't see any room for improvement. I don't use SAP HANA Cloud's machine learning feature at this moment. Currently, we don't use SAP HANA Cloud's ability to support hybrid data landscapes in our organization. SAP HANA Cloud can integrate real-time analytics with transactional data processing in my businesses by connecting it with other systems such as government systems and HR systems for fingerprint recognition. We are already using BOBJ or SAP BW for predictive analytics, which is an old solution from SAP. My overall rating for SAP HANA Cloud is eight out of 10. The reason I don't give it a higher score is that there are some concerns related to security and certain features that I have not seen yet.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"In terms of features, I find Automated Storage Management (ASM) and Data Guard most helpful for improving data security and reliability."
"Reduced the number of traditional storage/server architecture, and more productivity and quick provisioning of the database helped moving the application to production quickly."
"Easiness, that's number one for me because I use the cloud for testing purposes."
"I will rate this solution a nine out of ten. We have been using this solution for the past ten years. We will continue the partnership. I do not expect to see any further integration of the tool with our software. I will recommend this tool to those with a large database."
"Oracle Database as a Service is stable."
"It effortlessly hosts applications for months and exhibits exceptional reliability."
"The scalability and high availability are the most valuable features of Oracle DaaS."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Database as a Service are the power, security, and performance."
"Using SAP HANA Cloud, we can replicate the data into HANA and use live data, which improves our business decision-making."
"From my perspective, the best features of SAP HANA Cloud are that it's an ERP system connecting all departments together, making it a very smooth software for business operations."
"The solution has integrated many different value chains across the organization, as previously there were multiple systems managing those value chains."
"The real-time analytics feature is good; there is no doubt about it."
"I would rate SAP HANA Cloud nine to ten out of ten."
"SAP HANA Cloud provides a single version of truth, automation, intelligence, process control, and best practices."

Cons

"They should add more integration to the solution."
"The tool needs to improve its pricing and stability."
"It would be better if we could have a little bit of automation or a chance for autoscaling with Oracle Database as a Service."
"As far as working with it as a service, I have not even received a reply yet from the relational database service."
"The direct scaling is a feature that has room for improvement. I would like to see virtual management machines that can scale storage well with zero downtime. The backup option and patching would then be much easier to do."
"The tool's AI part has shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"I have had a hard time finding some documentation. There should provide easier accessible documentation for Oracle Database as a Service."
"The solution can be improved by reducing the pricing, making the deployment less complex, and increasing security."
"I see some weaknesses in SAP HANA Cloud regarding innovations, as they take their own time compared to what the market brings in with new features."
"Regarding SAP HANA Cloud, one significant pain point is the lack of access to the database from the HANA Studio for developers."
"The technical support from SAP is inadequate. We don't get timely responses, with support tickets taking more than 25 days to process."
"In future updates of SAP HANA Cloud, I would suggest some changes in the user interfaces to make it more user-friendly."
"SAP HANA Cloud requires extensive documentation before connecting with a human being to troubleshoot an issue."
"From a UX point of view, there could be better improvements in the user experience and how users interact with the system."
"My opinion on SAP HANA Cloud is that it is a waste of time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In my opinion, it's not cheap, but every business can decide for itself."
"The cost for Oracle Database as a Service is higher than that for other similar solutions."
"For on-premises, a perpetual license is a standard $17,500 plus 22% for one year of support."
"The price depends on the solution you choose: standard, enterprise, or high performance. For example, enterprise can start between 0.4 an hour up to 1,800. Additional fees also depends on what package you choose. Your feels will be different if you choose the standard, enterprise, high performance, or extreme package. You will pay in relation to what option you ask for. The price is very good if you compare it to other databases."
"The licensing is a nightmare. Tons of options which need to be licensed individually, and no real offering for VMware or other Hypervisors."
"It is a very expensive tool."
"The tool's licensing is on an yearly basis."
"Oracle Database as a Service is an expensive product."
