Suitable for OCI environment but needs to improve pricing

We haven’t had any problems with the setup of Oracle. The deployment will take less than seven to ten days since it can give good reports. For deployment, we first need to understand the customer requirements and build the architecture around the deployment. We have the customer sign off on it and then go into the software deployment side. This is the proper life cycle of how to do it in the enterprise space. There are a lot of thoughts around the initial way or how we need to structure and architect the environment. For enterprises, it is a complex process. It will take one to two months to have all the sign-offs before we can go into implementation. It is followed across all the installations. I rate the initial setup of the solution a ten out of ten.

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

"Oracle Cloud Platform is a good solution because with large data platforms the data migration can be a challenge and this is the reason to move and migrate towards the cloud from on-premises."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant."

"The product's configuration is simple."

"We have not had any downtime using the solution."

"I head the sales and marketing team. So, specifically on the feature set side, multi-tenancy is the one that I'm most familiar with. It's also the one that we found to be the most beneficial to us because it allows us to take clients that have multiple sites. For instance, one of our larger clients, which is a bank based out of South Africa, has offices in multiple countries. It allows us to multi-tenant each and create a tenant for each country within multi-tenanted architecture."

"We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network."

"It is a strong tool that offers more dynamic reporting capabilities while being user-friendly at the same time, and it can also be made better."

"Oracle offers more of the basic functionality needs."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"I found flexibility most valuable in the SAP Cloud Platform. It's a simple tool that's good even for first-time users."

"SAP Cloud Platform's performance is much faster than the on-premises solution because of continuous fine-tuning by their team."

"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."

"Feature-wise, I like it since it allows you to integrate with multiple applications. There are available connectors that allow you to integrate."

"Improved our speed to bring our mobile applications into productive use in a cost-effective way."

"The ability to build custom applications on the BTP platform, reducing customization on the SAP HANA system and improving performance and management."

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

"To be able to define multiple sub accounts in order to accommodate and separate development, test, and productive environments."

More SAP Cloud Platform pros

Cons

"Customer service could be improved."

"With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex."

"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."

"The tool should provide more options like other cloud services. Also, it should improve scalability with the free version."

"The packaging part of the software needs improvement. It lacks customization abilities for users. Giving them VMs for machine learning or running their own programs like Azure and Amazon, for example. Things like scalability based on the requirement of the tools. Oracle still lacks these kinds of things. For example, if you need a VM from Oracle, you need to pay for a monthly fee. They started developing containership but it's still at the initial stage and it's still lacking. They also need to develop integration between packages."

"The framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."

"The functionalities could be simplified as it is a bit difficult to learn."

"They could improve their global presence and marketing strategy to compete effectively with the likes of AWS."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"The solution requires more flexibility overall."

"I can’t speak to features that may be missing."

"One crucial aspect where SAP lags behind in flexibility is customization to suit specific business requirements. SAP needs to understand that customization is inevitable and should be more supportive of business-driven customization."

"The product could be improved for consistent user interfaces."

"The price of the solution could improve."

"Allowing more third-party applications to be integrated into the cloud platform would make it easier for customers to adopt SAP Cloud Platform."

"The product needs improvement for serverless native integrations. They should opt for serverless features as all the customers worldwide choose cloud-based products."

"While it was good for a small entity, it was not ideal for a large enterprise."

More SAP Cloud Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."

"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."

"Oracle Cloud is an expensive solution."

"I rate Oracle Cloud three to four out of ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Oracle Cloud Platform's pricing is comparable to other solutions, but it is definitely not cheap."

"The price of the solution should be reduced to a price that people can afford."

"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."

"The product’s pricing is reasonable compared to other tools in the market."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"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 product's pricing varies and depends on the customers' needs."

"I discovered that the SAP Cloud Platform is affordable, contrary to the impression that it's expensive. The pricing for extra packages or messages is quite reasonable, especially for things like message throughput and processing."

"SAP Cloud Platform is an expensive solution."

"The pricing can be negotiated."

"The solution is worth the money."

"SAP Cloud Platform Integration is an expensive product. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."

"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."
