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.

High stability, reasonably priced, and important for digital transformations

Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation. SAP as a legacy system is missing that flavor. The solution is not a traditional ERP software so should be used as a digital transformation tool. That is the story to project to customers, partners, and sales teams. This will help the solution grow faster than GCP, AWS, or Azure. In fact, Google Cloud Platform is now collaborating with SAP for digital transformation. The solution should offer affordable modules that are customized to startups with 50 to 500 employees. Most people think of SAP as being only for big enterprises but it could be very useful for smaller companies. There are 40,000 to 50,000 startups in APAC each year and that is a large volume. Many of the solution's modules could be used by those startups. Google is targeting this market with chat boards and automation tools at a reasonable price or with six months of free usage. SAP should come up with this kind of module and include sandbox so providers can play with a few of the POCs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle Cloud has wonderful features and offerings as a service. It's not just a pure-play cloud product or SaaS application. It has a complete suite from infrastructure to platform as a service to software as a service, and this is what I find most valuable in Oracle Cloud. For infrastructure on the cloud or infrastructure as a service on the cloud, there's OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure). Oracle Cloud is easily available. You just click it. I also found the feature of creating a landing zone valuable. Oracle Cloud is also very flexible as it lets you have a hybrid cloud model along with other cloud solutions. I also like that it offers good management on the cloud. Oracle Cloud is ready to use as a service, and that's wonderful because the time to market is very quick. I also like that Oracle Cloud offers high performance and high availability. A lot of people claim that there's high availability in their companies' cloud operations, but technically speaking, pure high availability in today's context is found in Oracle Cloud."

"Frankly speaking, I've been very impressed with the stability the solution offers. Everything is working very well at the moment, and we haven't had any issues or faced any bugs or glitches."

"The stability of the solution is very good...The technical support is good."

"We have seen a return on investment."

"The solution is easy to use."

"The feature I think should be improved is the option to rename the machines."

"The product is easy to use and deploy."

"The most important features are the turnkey solutions offered by Oracle. These ease the administration of Oracle Databases."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"Ensuring data integrity across finance, supply chain, and other critical areas is paramount for real-time decision-making. Access to accurate and up-to-date information is essential for data protection. While the digital solution primarily serves basic maintenance, the ability to handle these core aspects efficiently is invaluable for your needs."

"One of the features that I've found most useful is that It's very simple. They take care of the technical aspects of the data, installations, patches."

"We have a wide range of use cases for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud. These include production planning, materials management, sales management, treasury, finance, appliance maintenance, real estate, and warehouse management."

"The most valuable feature is virtual modeling, which is beneficial because you don't really save the data multiple times the way we did in the past."

"The interface is easy to manage."

"The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable."

"Fiori is the most valuable feature, as well as the the integration between S/4 and another solution as an extension."

"It has significantly streamlined our operations."

Cons

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

"There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."

"The Oracle Cloud platform remains complex, and despite the abundance of resources available, significant challenges can still arise during the migration process from a legacy or on-premise system. Conversely, smaller companies with less complicated systems, such as those with a two million budget, can migrate more easily."

"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."

"Amazon AWS has a better solution overall."

"The product’s pricing should be reduced."

"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."

"There's one app I have to install on my device, the Articulate Player app. It's only available on Apple and Android, but it's not available for Windows. I can't run the program on my desktop, to use it to learn Java."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"Our data centers are in Europe and come under GDPR regulations, and this doesn't apply to the Middle East yet. It causes a lot of confusion."

"SAP should adopt more rapid changes in market processes and customer needs to deliver solutions that meet new industry requirements swiftly."

"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."

"Enterprise Cloud's reporting could be more automated to improve content accountability, especially regarding BI reports."

"The main thing is that SAP needs to give better response times for support tickets."

"The solution needs to embed or integrate with IBP to fully activate the PPT module with efficiency."

"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The customer has a lot of dependencies on SAP which means they don't have much flexibility to go and update the system when or if they need to. They will need to wait for the quarterly updates. It's possible to maybe raise a special request with SAP if it is absolutely necessary."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."

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

"Oracle Cloud is cheaper than other products."

"I would rate the tool’s pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."

"The pricing for Oracle Cloud services is reasonable. Additionally, compared to other service providers, Oracle has a substantial presence and established infrastructure in Bangladesh. Considering all these factors together makes Oracle Cloud an ideal choice and a strong contender in the market."

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

"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."

"The product itself is relatively expensive."

"I rate the product's price a five out of ten."

"If you choose the minimum, it will probably cost around $1,000 USD per month if you take a contract for a year or two."

"The licensing of the solution is on a yearly basis. The normal price of the solution is quite high, but I received a special discount by making a purchase near the end of the year."

"The price is expensive compared to the competition."

"It's very, very expensive."

"The price is high compared to other databases, which is why HANA is still not widely used. Some enterprises prefer Sybase, Oracle, or other traditional databases because HANA is a little pricey. Cost is one factor SAP needs to work on to make it more competitive with other databases. Otherwise, they'll never be able to develop a mass customer base."
