Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications
The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS ( /products/amazon-aws-reviews ) Cloud, and they are also lower in cost. We use compute, storage, and network services. A notable feature is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's consistent global pricing, which is advantageous. Furthermore, applications using Oracle Database ( /products/oracle-database-reviews ) not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.
Suresh Tanneeru - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."
"Oracle offers more of the basic functionality needs."
"The stability of the solution is very good...The technical support is good."
"The initial setup was easy. It takes just a few minutes to create a virtual machine."
"It is a stable solution...Since it is a cloud solution, I can say it is a scalable product."
"Oracle does well when it comes to data privacy and security, which are critical."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the high level of performance for the databases."
"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"It is a stable and scalable product."
"My company has not had any problems with the product's initial setup phase."
"The BTP module is important for digital transformations."
"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."
"There's a minimum amount of downtime when using the solution. This platform is very effective."
"Traditionally, SAP worked with Oracle databases, but SAP is getting rid of the other databases and promoting its own. SAP will stop support for other databases around 2026, so everyone is moving to SAP S/4HANA for the performance and because it's the preferred database for SAP. S/4HANA has new features from the front-end or application feature perspective. The idea is to move toward future-ready technology."
"The solution does provide quite a lot of support, upgrades, automated batch updates, etc."
"The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see more automation."
"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."
"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."
"It takes more time to release resources than one of its competitors."
"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."
"Pricing could be improved considering competition and market conditions."
"​Customer service could be improved.​"
"With the Oracle Cloud Platform, they have to give first some proper documentation with a step-by-step process. Then the customer is able to use it properly. Nowadays, the Oracle Cloud Platform requires lots of floor work."
"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."
"This product is not mature enough at this point in time."
"They should probably offer more cloud services. Most of the cloud infrastructure providers we have make everything pretty transparent, you know what you're getting, you have all these metrics and measurements and everything in the dashboard. Here you have to go through the contracting negotiations and all those things."
"Customization is an area of concern in SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, where improvements are required."
"The only thing that could be improved is the cost."
"Enterprise Cloud's reporting could be more automated to improve content accountability, especially regarding BI reports."
"It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance."
"The product must provide more details of the errors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 best aspect of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the relation between the performance and the price. When you compare the price with Amazon AWS, Microsft Azure, or any other, the price for performance is the best."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."
"Oracle Cloud Platform is a bit costly. You can always bring your own license or subscribe to the SaaS option, but the SaaS option is very costly. I rate the pricing a six out of ten."
"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."
"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."
"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."
"Oracle Cloud's pricing is competitive. The tool changes its pricing when there is a change in its architecture."
"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"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."
"SAP may not be the most cost-effective option, but it does offer a comprehensive set of tools and features. When you have the right information, structure, and dashboard in place, it can provide excellent value. Additionally, competition with Oracle might be a factor to consider."
"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 solution could be less expensive."
"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
"It's very, very expensive."
