Mehdi Hasankhan - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
PinakiGhosh - PeerSpot reviewer
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…

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."
"I found flexibility most valuable in the SAP Cloud Platform. It's a simple tool that's good even for first-time users."
"Though I'm not a massive fan of the SAP Cloud Platform, it has good features, such as its integration with other SAP solutions. When integrating with SAP or even the SAP sister company SuccessFactors and other companies SAP has acquired, you also enjoy data features in the SAP Cloud Platform, such as role-based permissions and other characteristics you can import from SAP."
"The maintenance part can be outsourced easily."
"Great Integration Suite, with CPI being its stable component."
"SAP is an excellent company with an excellent reputation, excellent products, and dedicated customer support."
"The pre-delivered content from the SAP cloud platform is definitely a strength."
"SAP Cloud Platform's performance is much faster than the on-premises solution because of continuous fine-tuning by their team."
"The most valuable feature is the data synchronization, or the push and pull of the data."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"SAP is expensive."
"In person, when the development happens, we were told that it's flexible and customizable. However, sometimes, it's challenging to customize."
"The product needs improvement for serverless native integrations. They should opt for serverless features as all the customers worldwide choose cloud-based products."
"I feel that SAP provides the tools, but after that, you are left on your own. It would be better if they provided more support throughout the usage of their solutions."
"I would like for it to have integration to GitHub."
"Regarding improvements, I think the user experience, specifically the developer experience during design time, could be better. Platforms like MuleSoft and Flowgear have much better design times."
"Usability is a challenge most of the time and not being able to get all of the information."
"Allowing more third-party applications to be integrated into the cloud platform would make it easier for customers to adopt SAP Cloud Platform."
 

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."
"The price of the solution depends on the package that is purchased. There are many packages to choose from. The packages are not overly expensive."
"The product's pricing varies and depends on the customers' needs."
"Licensing costs for this solution are based on the number of users and the bandwidth."
"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 solution is worth the money."
"The cost when it comes to monitoring can be difficult."
