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."

"Oracle Cloud Platform is a good solution because with large data platforms the data migration can be a challenge and this is the reason to move and migrate towards the cloud from on-premises."

"Apart from the licensing, there's support from Oracle Cloud Platform which improved our day to day operations. Time is reduced. Based on this service, we are able to scale up dependent applications as quickly as we can."

"I head the sales and marketing team. So, specifically on the feature set side, multi-tenancy is the one that I'm most familiar with. It's also the one that we found to be the most beneficial to us because it allows us to take clients that have multiple sites. For instance, one of our larger clients, which is a bank based out of South Africa, has offices in multiple countries. It allows us to multi-tenant each and create a tenant for each country within multi-tenanted architecture."

"What I like most about Oracle Cloud Platform is the ease of getting data in and out of the cloud, and the affordable licensing."

"In terms of features, upgradeability to the latest version of Oracle suites has been a good feature. All we have to do is just patching or an upgrade, it's pretty easy. Then, it gets regularly updated. That's what I like about it."

"You can customize everything according to your preferences. I've reached out to customer support many times. I highly recommend using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. With the product, you have complete control over the management of your system."

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

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"It is a stable and scalable product."

"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."

"The solution's initial setup process is straightforward."

"The interface is easy to manage."

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

"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."

"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."

Cons

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

"Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack."

"It could be improved on the user-friendly side."

"The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development."

"The packaging part of the software needs improvement. It lacks customization abilities for users. Giving them VMs for machine learning or running their own programs like Azure and Amazon, for example. Things like scalability based on the requirement of the tools. Oracle still lacks these kinds of things. For example, if you need a VM from Oracle, you need to pay for a monthly fee. They started developing containership but it's still at the initial stage and it's still lacking. They also need to develop integration between packages."

"The product’s pricing should be reduced."

"Database instances and computer storage are areas with shortcomings in the product that need improvement."

"The technical support is really bad, because their reaction time is extremely slow."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

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

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

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

"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."

"The only thing that could be improved is the cost."

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

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

"The customer has a lot of dependencies on SAP which means they don't have much flexibility to go and update the system when or if they need to. They will need to wait for the quarterly updates. It's possible to maybe raise a special request with SAP if it is absolutely necessary."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."

"The price for Oracle Cloud may seem expensive, but if you start comparing features and what Oracle offers, you'll realize that the pricing for Oracle Cloud is competitive. If you consider every aspect of Oracle Cloud, you'll see that its price tag is reasonable because it has a good user interface, user experience, and management. Oracle Cloud is a sophisticated infrastructure and the level of management it allows you to enjoy isn't available in other solutions, so I wouldn't worry about needing to invest huge money into it because it's a wonderful product to use."

"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."

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

"The solution is free to use."

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

"Oracle Cloud's pricing is competitive. The tool changes its pricing when there is a change in its architecture."

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

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"The solution could be less expensive."

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

"It's very, very expensive."

"The solution's cost is reasonable."

"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 product itself is relatively expensive."

"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."
