An easy-to-install tool with good technical support that offers features like map searching and risk management services

The initial setup of Oracle Developer Cloud Service was really easy since it can be done with the request in the cloud, and after that, you can use it directly. I read the initial setup a ten, on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. The solution is deployed on a public cloud. The deployment process took around a year.

The implementation cycle has been reduced significantly but has room for integration enhancements

Our existing customers who are on ECC are on-premises. They are migrating to SAP Cloud Platform, specifically on S4HANA. One of our clients was on SAP ECC on-premises, and they are moving to the cloud on S4HANA on the public cloud system. We are supporting about 15 customers, mostly small to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The APEX solution is the most interesting part of the Oracle Developer Service. APEX is the most cost-effective and most popular service for developers. Kubernetes and Docker services are also important and very much cost-effective, and helpful for developers. If we compare Oracle to other cloud services providers, they'll also be cost-effective. The financial involvement is also a good point because other cloud services charge for Docker and Kubernetes solutions. Oracle's offering is almost free. They only charge for the VM or virtual machine. This is also an interesting part for the developers as well."

"The solution's technical support is really good."

"With the multi-tenant architecture, you can migrate many databases to one instance. This saves a lot of money and administrative work."

"The dashboard provides pretty good clarity."

"The entire SAP ecosystem is a valuable feature. It provides access to SAP S/4HANA, ACG systems, and their Fiori launchpad, making it easy to navigate between them. This makes the enterprise very accessible."

"The pre-delivered content from the SAP cloud platform is definitely a strength."

"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."

"The integration flows are the most valuable feature of this solution."

"The product captures data in real time."

"Scalability is one of the benefits that we have in using the product."

"SAP is an excellent company with an excellent reputation, excellent products, and dedicated customer support."

Cons

"Improvements are needed in terms of the usage of the map chart and risk management services."

"Sometimes, I lose the cursor in the editor, and it disappears for no reason. It's hard to guess where I'm in the text, and I feel a bit lost."

"t would be better if the open-source databases were managed. Some managed services for open-source databases are available in other cloud solutions, but Oracle doesn't have any. They should provision more managed services for open-source databases like MongoDB and PostgreSQL. These types of managed database services should be available in Oracle Cloud Service and others. There are other technical issues like the CDN network that is not directly configured to Oracle and needs support from a third party. There are also some services available in AWS and Azure that should be included in Oracle Cloud Service."

"Usability is a challenge most of the time and not being able to get all of the information."

"I want to see better pricing from the SAP Cloud Platform in the future. I also want more security and scalability from it."

"Shows errors without providing any analysis."

"The main problem is that there aren't any easy migrations from SAP PO to SAP CPI, so from process orchestration to cloud platform integration."

"From what I understand, the SAP Cloud Platform is for implementation on AWS or Azure, and it's not meant to be a full-fledged cloud solution, so while using the platform, an area for improvement is that it has fewer offerings and is less flexible when compared to AWS. AWS has a lot more flexibility than the SAP Cloud Platform. I've also used Azure in college and AWS in between, and I prefer AWS over the SAP Cloud Platform. The only reason I would ever stick with the SAP Cloud Platform is to create applications integrated with SAP or with other companies within SAP, such as SuccessFactors. When you go into the SAP Cloud Platform web page, it's a bit bland and has relatively limited offerings. For example, there doesn't seem to be in-house MongoDB support, but I realize there's in-house support for the PostgreSQL database, so there are fewer offerings in the SAP Cloud Platform. Yes, you can always go for a database on the actual MongoDB server rather than depending on the offerings of the SAP Cloud Platform. However, it's still better to support MongoDB from the platform, so payment is consolidated, rather than going to a different location to make a payment. Another room for improvement in the SAP Cloud Platform is the need to create an SAP subaccount if you need to use the platform unless you have an SSO login by Google or if you're using a different identity provider such as Microsoft or Google. Instead of requiring dependency on SAP, it would be good if users could use the SAP Cloud Platform even without a subaccount on SAP. For example, when hosting an application on AWS or Azure, you don't have to create an account in Amazon or Microsoft. You can still do it using Google. You can use almost anything, so I'd like SAP to improve by removing the dependency, particularly the requirement to create an SAP account to use the SAP Cloud Platform."

"The product's support team has certain shortcomings, not from the solution's portal perspective but from the back-end side."

"The pricing is too high across all SAP products relative to resource utilization."

"There is a lot of room for improvement in customer service and support. The availability of knowledgeable support to the implementation partners and the customers could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the pricing two on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Oracle Developer Cloud Service isn't an expensive product. It's definitely cheaper than any other enterprise cloud solution."

"SAP Cloud Platform is expensive. It can be quite costly."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."

"The solution is worth the money."

"SAP Cloud Platform is generally more expensive than the other options."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the pricing a six or seven."

"Cost-wise, I'm unsure of how expensive the SAP Cloud Platform is."

"The tool could get too pricey...Small enterprises that want to leverage the tool's features will have difficulty in utilizing the solution."

"SAP's pricing is usually high compared to the competition. But this is also justified because they hold their products and services to quite high standards."
