Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications
The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS 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 not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.
Salman Mukhtar Baig - PeerSpot reviewer
SAP Technical Manager at VS Furniture Middle East
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 environment is super fast so you get all the underlying machines behind the data. It's a good processing machine, especially in the Generation Two Cloud."
"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 initial setup was easy. It takes just a few minutes to create a virtual machine."
"It is a stable solution...Since it is a cloud solution, I can say it is a scalable product."
"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"The product is scalable."
"The key feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is its seamless integration with Oracle applications."
"Frankly speaking, I've been very impressed with the stability the solution offers. Everything is working very well at the moment, and we haven't had any issues or faced any bugs or glitches."
"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."
"Now, with the cloud, we can move anywhere in the world and we can easily access it from SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, and even the client can also see the stock availability which they need to order."
"My company has not had any problems with the product's initial setup phase."
"The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable."
"The solution's initial setup process is straightforward."
"Now, with the cloud, we can move anywhere in the world and we can easily access it from SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, and even the client can also see the stock availability which they need to order."
"Companies have gained more productivity because users take less time to finalize tasks as the data is correct, eliminating the need to double-check information constantly."
"The scalability is good because we have some cloud resources to support the ERP."
 

Cons

"There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."
"The solution should integrate better with other tools and different vendors."
"The main issue for the clients is that they need to understand the credit payments because if it's a currency that's not dollars or euros, Oracle will always convert it into credits and that's not easy for the customer to understand at the beginning."
"Oracle Cloud's price is very high."
"There should be more management automation."
"I would like the Oracle Cloud Platform to have a more user-friendly UI similar to Microsoft Azure."
"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."
"The integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would rate the stability a four out of ten. It's an area that could use improvement"
"One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day."
"One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day."
"It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance."
"The main thing is that SAP needs to give better response times for support tickets."
"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."
"This product is not mature enough at this point in time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is overpriced."
"There is an annual and a subscription option."
"The solution's cost could be better."
"I compared Oracle Cloud Platform with other competitor providers like Azure, and I don't think Oracle is too expensive."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."
"The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."
"The solution is free to use."
"It's very expensive compared to AWS."
"I rate the product's price a five out of ten."
"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."
"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
"It's very, very expensive."
"The price is high compared to other databases, which is why HANA is still not widely used. Some enterprises prefer Sybase, Oracle, or other traditional databases because HANA is a little pricey. Cost is one factor SAP needs to work on to make it more competitive with other databases. Otherwise, they'll never be able to develop a mass customer base."
"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
"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."
