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

"Our recommendations are good, and we also have a bidding platform that is helpful for managed service providers. This platform can save customers up to 2-3 weeks in billing time, from 25 days to 3-4 days. We have two products: a basic product and a cloud optimization product. Both products help customers improve the performance and cost-efficiency of their cloud environments."

"The initial setup was easy. It takes just a few minutes to create a virtual machine."

"Overall, there are some very good features on Oracle and it offers good customization capabilities."

"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."

"OCI's best features are its price, databases, and Linux compatibility."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Interface."

"I am impressed with the tool's upscaling and resiliency features."

"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."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"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 solution does provide quite a lot of support, upgrades, automated batch updates, etc."

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

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

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

"Ensuring data integrity across finance, supply chain, and other critical areas is paramount for real-time decision-making. Access to accurate and up-to-date information is essential for data protection. While the digital solution primarily serves basic maintenance, the ability to handle these core aspects efficiently is invaluable for your needs."

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

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud pros

Cons

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

"The product's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."

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

"Oracle Cloud's price is very high."

"The AI capabilities and the power automate platform that Azure is offering seem to be way ahead of what Oracle is offering."

"The biggest challenge I'm having with the cloud offering is the sizing. So, pricing becomes difficult. The sizing challenge is in terms of being very clear on how your data growth or your requirements would be. It becomes a bit difficult to be able to ensure that there's enough future proofing in what you've signed. At the same time, the whole idea behind the cloud is to be able to pay for what you use. You don't want to pay for something that you're not using."

"Customer service could be improved."

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

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

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

"The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."

"The solution needs to embed or integrate with IBP to fully activate the PPT module with efficiency."

"The cost could be improved. I think it's higher than the competition."

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

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

"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."

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

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The subscription cost is too high."

"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."

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

"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."

"We pay the subscription cost."

"The solution is expensive."

"It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."

"The best aspect of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the relation between the performance and the price. When you compare the price with Amazon AWS, Microsft Azure, or any other, the price for performance is the best."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"The price is expensive compared to the competition."

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

"It's very, very expensive."

"The solution could be less expensive."

"The solution's cost is reasonable."

"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."

"The product itself is relatively expensive."
