Cost-effective and can be used to host OIC and APEX
Earlier, when we created an SR (Service Request), it used to be personally addressed by a person till closure. Nowadays, users are routed to Oracle Cloud Connect, a MetaLink where you find your documents. We are not seeing much personal attention from Oracle on addressing issues. People come up with different experiences and knowledge levels. There is no human guidance, and users are routed to Oracle Cloud Connect. It is good for some people who know everything and can understand everything. However, our problem may not be exactly the same as the one given in Oracle Cloud Connect. Being routed to Oracle Cloud Connect is not a good experience with the customer. Earlier, an SR used to be personally handled by a person who used to explain and give all the information. We used to go through the information, understand it, have our questions addressed, and then close it. That's how it used to happen. Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer.

The product is very user-friendly, has an easy-to-use interface, and ROI can be achieved in less time
Analytics could be much better. The solution must provide a lot of options so that the analytics dashboard looks much better. The vendor must bring in more analytics features. Currently, the analytics features are decent but not great. The production modules and HR components must be improved. Production planning and detailed warehouse management features must be improved. While migrating to AWS, we faced certain issues with the API integration and the configuration of the add-ons. We thought changes wouldn't be required, but some changes were required. We also faced some challenges with the compatibility of the patches. The additional functionalities must be more flexible and scalable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find the interface to be great."
"The simple infrastructure of the service is very useful."
"The solution is stable."
"A good feature of the solution is the clear roadmap it provides specifically from Oracle to PC, there are good options to use OTP."
"There is ROI with the product's use."
"We have not had any downtime using the solution."
"I like having the ability to easily run Oracle Linux server instances and to deploy Oracle Middleware and WebLogic servers. Oracle's Infrastructure as a Service products are also very useful, and we're using those right now within Oracle OCI."
"The performance and processing capability are excellent."
"The initial setup is manageable."
"With the tool, there is no shutdown or breakdown time my company experiences."
"As a business technology platform, it is a flexible platform. It enables the customer to do faster integrations, and the solution's functioning requires low cost."
"The initial setup of the product seems to be good."
"The most valuable aspect is that it is easy to use the software."
"It is very flexible...It is a stable solution."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The technical support is really bad, because their reaction time is extremely slow."
"It should have other workloads from other suppliers running on the solution."
"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."
"Oracle Cloud is not a user-friendly tool. From an improvement perspective, I want Oracle Cloud to be more user-friendly."
"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."
"The product’s pricing should be reduced."
"Some of the features of this solution, such as the digital assistant, require extensive configuration before they are suitable for use. We would like these to be made more straightforward and to require less manual input."
"Managed services for Postgres are not available in Oracle Cloud."
"It would be better if the solution was on a cloud infrastructure."
"The solution has a feature that shows you the purchase order that you put on a project and requires you to approve it to be applied to the project, but it doesn't let you move the purchase order to another project. That would be a great feature to have, because if you don't approve it, you have to delete everything and make it again."
"It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines."
"I feel that these vendors must be well trained so that they can deploy this solution."
"Analytics could be much better."
"There is some room for improvement with the scalability and the pricing of the product."
"The interface needs to be improved. It needs to be more user-friendly."
"There is a need to make multiple changes in the code to make a few changes in any module of the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OCI's pricing is one of its best features."
"The licenses for this solution are very comprehensive and, therefore, very economical; there is only one cost, and it covers all available features without any chargeable add-ons."
"OCI is the cost-effectiveness compared to other similar services, assuming all compliance regulations are met. Additionally, they offer a number of things free of charge, which is particularly beneficial for smaller clients."
"On a monthly basis, we pay around $2,500 for licensing fees, with no additional costs. We do pay extra licensing for other on-premises solutions, but these are not related to Oracle Cloud Platform."
"The subscription cost is too high."
"The pricing is the best."
"It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
"The price of the limited version is about 70,000 Pesos ($2,900 USD), and the professional version is about double at 140,000 Pesos ($5,800 USD)."
"The price of SAP Business One on AWS could be lower, it is expensive."
"Pricing for me, it's not very interesting. I think it's priced at a normal level."
"The product's license is expensive. It could be cheaper."
"There is an annual licensing fee, and it changes once you add or remove users. The solution is on the upper-end side and expensive."
"We have an annual cost for licensing and storage in AWS."
"The product is moderately priced."
"Though I cannot specifically state whether SAP Business One on AWS is a cheap or expensive product, I can surely say that it is a manageable tool from a cost perspective."
