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.

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 is easy to use."

"The solution is pretty straightforward to setup and use."

"The object storage and managed backup solution are valuable."

"The pricing of the solution is pretty good."

"The most valuable features of the Oracle Cloud Platform are good visualization and analytics. The solution is very well integrated with predictive analytics and forecasting. These features go beyond the traditional reports and visualization."

"I like the solution’s stability, performance, and fault alerts."

"The initial setup of Oracle Cloud is simple...It is a scalable solution."

"The most valuable feature is that it offers several adaptors."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"It has significantly streamlined our operations."

"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud pros

Cons

"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."

"I would like the Oracle Cloud Platform to have a more user-friendly UI similar to Microsoft Azure."

"Though Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has robust features, improvements could be made to its authentication and identity access management, specifically in making them more seamless without using fingerprints for authentication."

"The setup was not simple."

"They could add more features."

"Technical support does not offer the best service and should be improved."

"The deployment from on-premises to the cloud is a bit complicated."

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

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"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."

"I would rate the stability a four out of ten. It's an area that could use improvement"

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

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

"Customization is an area of concern in SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, where improvements are required."

"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."

"Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation."

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

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Make sure you read the fine print."

"OCI's pricing is one of its best features."

"Its pricing is complex, but as partners, we can get away with quite a bit of discounting because we deal with them directly. I would rate their pricing probably a one or two out of five because they're quite expensive. Microsoft Azure will probably be the cheapest because depending on the Microsoft product that you have, they have some sort of bundling. There are things that they give you to get you onto Azure. AWS is probably somewhere in the middle."

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

"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"Oracle Cloud is an expensive solution."

"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."

"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."

"The price is expensive compared to the competition."

"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 pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."

"The solution's cost is reasonable."

"The solution could be less expensive."
