Praveen Kumar P - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The autonomous database functions are an excellent feature."
"The scalability feature of the product is very impressive, especially considering the fact that the tool offers its users a pay-as-you-go model."
"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."
"The deployment is most valuable feature."
"We have seen a return on investment."
"The most valuable part of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the ability to develop applications that help us migrate information from on-prem to the cloud."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Cloud are the ease of navigation and stability. The solution is more feature-rich and powerful than these smaller alternatives."
"The processes and the way we take advantage and use assistance are good."
"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."
"What I like the most is that we can convert databases into a proper multi-dimensional model, and then we can project with the integration with Power BI."
"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."
"Fiori is the most valuable feature, as well as the the integration between S/4 and another solution as an extension."
"My company has not had any problems with the product's initial setup phase."
"I am impressed with how the solution integrates with the ME system and ALE IDocs."
"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."
 

Cons

"This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud."
"With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex."
"Technical support does not offer the best service and should be improved."
"Pricing could be improved considering competition and market conditions."
"Areas that need improvement are the pricing and the support."
"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."
"The deployment from on-premises to the cloud is a bit complicated."
"The solution requires tighter integration capabilities."
"The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Perhaps minor changes to the enterprise structure could be made, but the rest is fine."
"The product must provide more details of the errors."
"The cost could be improved. I think it's higher than the competition."
"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
"In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges."
"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."
"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."
"The price of the solution should be reduced to a price that people can afford."
"Oracle Cloud's pricing is competitive. The tool changes its pricing when there is a change in its architecture."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
"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."
"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 solution's cost is reasonable."
"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."
"The solution could be less expensive."
"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."
"It's very, very expensive."
