Cloud platform has supported cost control and database integration but still needs better metrics and storage

I have not used Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)'s networking solutions today. I studied it somewhat, but it is not my main area currently. We had some problems sometimes with Autonomous Database in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), for example, in the past months related to the asset of the metrics. We found problems related to what we wanted to show to the customer about the database because many metrics were missing. We usually worked together with members of Oracle Italia to ask them to introduce some metrics, for example, those that do not work correctly about CPU usage, memory usage, or network usage. There were some metrics in Oracle Autonomous Database in dedicated infrastructure that did not allow us to show correct information to the customer. We usually needed to ask Oracle Italia to introduce some metrics or clarify metric usage. In some cases, they showed incorrect data in the output, so we had to work with them to solve this problem. I am speaking about problems from approximately one year ago, so I do not know if they have fixed all of it now. One problem I faced in the past with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) was also related to documentation. Sometimes there are differences between Oracle Autonomous Database usage on shared infrastructures compared to dedicated infrastructures. When searching for documentation, it is not clear if one aspect or solution is usable in both technologies or on both shared and dedicated infrastructures. I found some documents proposed for Autonomous Database and then discovered that the case was applicable only for shared infrastructure, not dedicated. Oracle Italia explained to me that Oracle Autonomous Database on shared and dedicated are different products. However, I do not understand why if I have the same version of Oracle in both architectures, I cannot have access to some tools or internal packages in both technologies. We usually had to ask them to introduce also in dedicated infrastructures the use of some Oracle PL/SQL packages, some internal packages, for example, for the management of queues. Another aspect is that the storage of Oracle is not very user-friendly. In Autonomous, for example, where I think an autonomous database should manage storage correctly on its own, my experience is that often we have many allocated storage spaces that are free, but it is impossible to reclaim. We need to expand storage and pay for it, even though it is free. I think that regarding the internal management of storage, Oracle can improve.

Cloud access has improved reporting and sales operations across global locations

I cannot say anything about what areas of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud could be improved or enhanced because so far, we are happy with this implementation. We are not facing any problem, or I cannot say that this can be improved. Although SAP keeps improving themselves day by day, we cannot say that SAP needs to improve anything. One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day. Before, it was not too much higher, but I don't know why they are increasing their price. They should see this thing, so other customers, such as SMBs customers or small and mid-sized customers, can also avail this thing. Otherwise, we don't have any problem. First, there is the limitation. If you are a SAP user, you don't feel any problem with the limitation because if you know how to use the product, you can easily implement this thing. Otherwise, if you don't know the business process or how to integrate and implement, it could be a problem. We have a limitation, but we developed some add-ons for this. So we fulfilled these requirements.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The product gives you independence from hardware onsite, the setup is easy, and there is no need for hardware maintenance."

"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."

"What I like best about Oracle Cloud is that it is an all-in-one system for everything."

"The key feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is its seamless integration with Oracle applications."

"What is most valuable to me is a very general thing, it is just having the many options and features offered by the product, including accessibility through the internet and flexibility in supporting different capabilities and integrations."

"I find the interface to be great."

"I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable."

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

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"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 and all those things, and I don't need to set up my data center."

"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."

"It has significantly streamlined our operations."

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

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

"While on-prem takes a long time, this solution is ten times faster."

"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."

"This is a product that I recommend for others."

Cons

"They could add more features."

"More technical papers could be published to help out professionals."

"It is not scalable."

"Customer service could be improved."

"The technical support could be a lot better, because their reaction time is extremely slow."

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

"The initial setup can be a bit complex."

"The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"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."

"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."

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

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

"There are a lot of dependencies on SAP. A customer doesn't have much flexibility to go and update the systems as they wish."

"The licensing model for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud has changed, and it is not entirely clear for final customers. Instead of named users, they now have to calculate FUEs."

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

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for Oracle Cloud services is reasonable. Additionally, compared to other service providers, Oracle has a substantial presence and established infrastructure in Bangladesh. Considering all these factors together makes Oracle Cloud an ideal choice and a strong contender in the market."

"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."

"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."

"The solution's cost could be better."

"The product offers a subscription-based licensing model."

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

"The solution is expensive according to services and competition. Also, it is not prevalent in the market. I rate the solution’s pricing a seven on a scale of ten, where ten is expensive, and one is cheap."

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

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"The price is expensive compared to the competition."

"The solution's cost is reasonable."

"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 solution could be less expensive."

"It's very, very expensive."

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

"The product itself is relatively expensive."

"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
