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.

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 most valuable feature is that it offers several adaptors."

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

"I have found Oracle Cloud to be a scalable solution."

"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."

"The product enables users to create their own reports."

"The simple infrastructure of the service is very useful."

"The environment is super fast so you get all the underlying machines behind the data. It's a good processing machine, especially in the Generation Two Cloud."

"The autonomous database functions are an excellent feature."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"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."

"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."

"There's a minimum amount of downtime when using the solution. This platform is very effective."

"It has significantly streamlined our operations."

"The solution is stable and we have never had a problem. We started with one terabyte of data when the solution was first implemented and today we have around almost 600 gigabytes of data, which means means the compression works properly. Before migrating from ECC, we had nine terabytes of data."

"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."

"My company has not had any problems with the product's initial setup phase."

"The interface is easy to manage."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud pros

Cons

"What I'd like to see from Oracle Cloud is an option for the customer to have a single portal to manage and monitor not just Oracle Cloud, but some of the on-premise products in the hybrid scenario as well. If it can be shipped out as an out-of-the-box solution, that would be wonderful. It's not so easy, but for a company like Oracle, it shouldn't be a problem. Many customers go through a lot of effort and burn money to achieve this, so it's an opportunity for Oracle to provide it for customers looking for this type of solution."

"The integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use."

"The initial setup can be a bit complex."

"The product could use some more development and maturity so it has more peripheral functionality already integrated."

"Oracle Cloud could be improved with better third-party integrations."

"Pricing could be improved considering competition and market conditions."

"The price of the subscription is too high and excludes some potential customers."

"The product's resilience is an area of concern where improvements are required."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"This product is not mature enough at this point in time."

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

"Perhaps minor changes to the enterprise structure could be made, but the rest is fine."

"The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."

"The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data."

"It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance."

"The product must provide more details of the errors."

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

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's less expensive to operate your environment in the cloud than in-house. It's a bundle cost. Everything is included in one price."

"In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges."

"The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."

"The solution's cost could be better."

"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."

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

"The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."

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

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 price is expensive compared to the competition."
