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

"There is ROI with the product's use."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is Data Safe, which allows for the masking and encryption of personal identifiable information, ensuring data security."

"The product is easy to use and deploy."

"The pricing of the solution is pretty good."

"It is more secure and more controlled than an on-premises deployment."

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

"The performance and processing capability are excellent."

"The most valuable features of the solution are APEX, Threat Detector, and Cloud Guard."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"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."

"I am impressed with how the solution integrates with the ME system and ALE IDocs."

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

"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."

"It is a stable and scalable product."

"The interface is easy to manage."

"The processes and the way we take advantage and use assistance are good."

"This solution is as good as any other S/4HANA SAP solution. The continuous support we get is very valuable."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud pros

Cons

"Technical support could be a bit better."

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

"They could improve their global presence and marketing strategy to compete effectively with the likes of AWS."

"Managed services for Postgres are not available in Oracle Cloud."

"Amazon AWS has a better solution overall."

"It should have other workloads from other suppliers running on the solution."

"The initial setup can be a bit complex."

"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."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

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

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

"It’s a common challenge with applications like Microsoft and SAP that they tend to rely on engineers rather than human resources personnel for knowledge and implementation."

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

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

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

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

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

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle Cloud is an expensive solution."

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

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

"The solution's cost could be better."

"We pay the subscription cost."

"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."

"Improvements can be made with respect to flexibility in the licensing model."

"It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"The solution's cost is reasonable."

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

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

"The price is expensive compared to the competition."

"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 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."

"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."
